Greet What You're Avoiding Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

Avoiding toxic people and situations is healthy—but in other situations, it benefits us to push back on that instinct. Today, we dive into a visualization to help you turn avoidance into action.
Takeaways:
1- Avoidance is when our protective instinct goes into overdrive, causing us to dodge situations that are necessary or even helpful but make us feel anxiety, fear, or shame.
2- Avoidance tends to snowball—the longer we put off dealing with something, the more emotionally loaded that trigger can become.
3- If we’re avoiding something that isn’t dangerous: We can use self-talk to help us move past those feelings into a place of action.
---
Mantra: I am brave and capable.
