Maybe you haven't heard of "revenge bedtime procrastination" but you've likely felt it. It's that feeling at night when you're so exhausted, but you still find yourself staying up too late mind-numbingly scrolling your phone. In a nutshell, you're experiencing a lack of fulfillment. The good news is that there are several ways to support yourself out of this habit, and into something that feels better.

Whether or not this is your specific concern, the methods of identifying the emotions you're seeking, then breaking down your routine and attaching some new habits, can work for many self-sabotaging behaviors. Tune in and try out what you learn!

AP 394: Habits Should be Supportive || Growth Spurt Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Habits shouldn't be "shoulds," they should be supportive. And yes, I see the irony in that statement, but I think you'll agree! How many times have you set out to create a new habit based on a should, like one of these?

I should weigh this much... I should be this type of mom... I should wake up earlier... I should be a reader...

How many times have those habits failed?

Your habits should support you as your most authentic self. In this short episode I'm sharing how times and seasons have changed my habits, and why that's been okay as I've allowed my habits to be supportive and not forced.

Before you think this is just another flowery conversation on authenticity that seems too far out of reach for you, listen up.

With that gift, you can then cultivate meaningful relationships with those around you, and more importantly with yourself.

Amber is a mom of 4 working on her PhD in marriage and family, who loves to share about authenticity and intimacy. She breaks down the biggest barriers to finding your authentic self and the simple ways to work towards breaking them down. Tune in to explore how living up to impossible standards, comparison, and body objectification are hindering your growth, and what you can gain from being authentically you.

AP 392: How to Conduct a 'Progress Audit' || Growth Spurt Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

Something that I'm constantly working on is leaving behind the all-or-nothing mindset that used to cause me to spiral into the vicious cycle of perfectionism. I now like to reflect where I'm at with my own progress in a mindful way, without assigning any negative, or even overly positive, emotion to it.

An audit is where you objectively take a look at the facts, and let that inform what to do next. In this episode I'm giving you some very simple steps to perform your own 'progress audit' and there is even an acronym so you can do this any time you need a personal check-in.
