754 || reflecting on YOU Mar 18, 2023

Show notes

If you have been listening a while, you know I am constantly adding disclaimers so that my messages aren’t misconstrued or taken out of context in a way that can promote harm or danger. That said, it’s nearly impossible to accommodate for every type of perspective that can be taken towards every message. But still, I try. I listen back and try to put myself in the shoes of a more depressed or more angry version of myself and I interpret the message with my worst intention just to ensure I’m not encouraging someone to do something potentially harmful or rash.

But regardless of my futile attempts to accommodate all humans at all levels, I recognize the impossibility of this idea. Then I watched the finale of Netflix's YOU and realized just how futile and silly my attempts were...

752 || functional movement Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

I read an article on elderly having trouble sitting, so practice squatting, I say if you’re having trouble sitting practice sitting. Train at it. I’m no physical therapist, and don’t get me wrong, do I believe that if I’m struggling to sit on a toilet I’m also OPTING for wall sits?! Absolutely the fuck not. I’m simply saying as someone who often makes lofty goals when I’m feeling like I need to change, and suddenly shifts personalities when it comes down to actually changing shit… I have spent a lot of time simplifying where I can and it’s really made a difference in my progress.

Not to say you shouldn’t learn the squats, and if you progress past the seating and eventually you want to elevate the experience, get that shit moving, but in my opinion, training in the gym is all well and good, but finding movement that is healthy for your body, where your body is at this moment, is even fucking better. THAT is functional to me.

748 || retreat + reset Mar 12, 2023

Show notes

if you’re trying to get out of a funk or like we’ve been discussing: escape the survival mode - there are different things that will work at different times. I think the foundation still stands: 1. IDENTIFY sources and see if you can downsize stress. What can we delegate? What can we improve the process of? What can we switch up for the better? IDENTIFY - REDUCE - RESTRUCTURE - and then if you’re stuck with shit you still don’t wanna do - so REFRAME with gratitude and more positivity if you can. What can we change our perspective on to get more rewarding feedback or wisdom from it. I'm a RETREATER. What about you?

747 || reprioritize + reframe Mar 11, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, it's not about what we have to do, it's about how we have to do it. What can we restructure to make it less stressful? What can we reframe to make it more enjoyable or less intense?

746 || it starts with self compassion Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Recovery starts with a foundation of acceptance of where you are, where you've been, and where you'd like to go. I have faith in you, but be kind with yourself in the process.

You got this, cutie.
