RAISING YOUR VIBRATION WHILE SOCIAL DISTANCING Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

Most of the world is social distancing and finding that without the daily commutes and busy-ness, we have more time. More time with our minds and more time with our homes.

So, how do we take advantage of this time?

I asked feng shui expert Amanda Gibby Peters for the three things SHE is recommending to lift the vibration of your home. (And you'll be surprised at the one thing she's NOT recommending people do right now).

I also added the three things I believe will help us thrive during this uncertain time.

ALSO BIG ANNOUNCEMENT...Amanda and I have a podcast that is releasing tomorrow (March 19th) called A Life Coach and Feng Shui Expert Walk Into A Bar. It's full of aha moments and laughter. Make sure you are subscribed so you are notified when it's available. It's a GREAT thing to binge on while you're stepping away from social media!

TAKING CARE OF YOUR MENTAL HEALTH DURING CORONAVIRUS Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

What's true is that we ARE in a time of uncertainty.

What's TRUE is that we don't know what life is going to look like in a year or 6 months or 6 days.

What's TRUE is that there is a global pandemic that we are not experts in yet.

That is where we ARE right now and, aside from what we know to slow it down (hand washing, social distancing, etc), the incessant thinking and worrying and STRESSING about it is NOT helpful.

You aren't solving the problem, you are WORRYING.

Your worrying isn't making you feel better, it's making you feel WORSE.

The most effective thing you can be doing for yourself right now is taking care of your MENTAL health.

We need to not have a gazillion humans sitting in their homes panicking.

That is hard on your physical health AND your mental health.

If you are a listener of this podcast or a follower of my work I have TAUGHT you how to stay calm even during a pandemic.

You KNOW what to do.

Now you need to DO it.

This episode is a call to action...how do you want to see yourself when you LOOK BACK on this moment in history?

WHY WORRYING ISN'T HELPFUL AND HOW TO STOP Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

I was talking to a client today who was trying to convince me that worrying was justified right now because of the state of the world.

I disagree completely.

Worrying is never a productive use of our time. And worrying happens because we want to AVOID the uncomfortableness of anxiety and fear.

Worrying does not solve problems. It creates more of the same.

In today's bonus episode:

~ why FEELING the fear is more productive than FIXING it

~ why worrying is an ACTION that comes from AVOIDING fear

~ how to find the THOUGHT that is creating the ACTION of worrying

~ how to choose a thought that will allow you to take ACTION without having to worry

FINDING CALM DURING CORONAVIRUS Mar 15, 2020

Show notes

Right now, we are living in a time of uncertainty.

Our brains do NOT like uncertainty.

Our brains want to know what's going to happen.

So when we are in a time of uncertainty, our brains think they need MORE information, ALL the information in order to feel safe.

I promise you that all of the consuming and all of the worrying and all of the panicking is NOT making you feel safer...it's making you feel like there's MORE.

If you want to feel calm, you need to calm down your body so you can access the logical part of your brain.

THIS will help significantly more than consuming the news.

Today I want to share with you how to find CALM even when the world is upside down.

I will be offering free coaching in my Show Up and Love community as close to daily as possible. Click here to join. If you don't have FB but want access to those coaching calls, email support@kristenfinch.com and I'll add you to the list to be notified. Calls will be on zoom.
