82 Actionable Tip – Shiny Object Syndrome
7 augustus 2016 · 15 min
This month’s theme is Money Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/MoneyManagement
Let's break down some different types of Shiny Object Syndrome.
There's Shiny Projects
Shiny Vacations
Shiny Books and Magazines
Shiny Shoes and Purses
Shiny Name Brands
Shiny Jewellry
Shiny Conferences
Shiny Restaurants
Shiny Cars and Watches
Shiny Houses and Neighborhoods
And even Shiny Spouses!
What's "shiny" is different for everyone.
My shiny object is high end kitchen appliances and supplies. For me, Williams-Sonoma is full of shiny objects!
For you it might be a particular breed of dog or a specific mountain bike or a certain vacation home in a certain spot.
Here's three things to remember next time you face a shiny object:
Compare Lees meerHow does this shiny object compare to what I already have
Is there anything wrong with what you have right now?
Does it meet your needs?
Have you given it enough time to run it's course?
What makes the shiny object so intriguing?
Count
Count the cost of this shiny object
Count your expenses right now
Count the cost of making the transition and change
Count the pros and cons of keeping what you have
Count the pros and cons of getting the shiny object
Consider (Picture)
What will life be like with it in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years etc?
What will life be like financially with it in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years etc?
Can you afford it? Will it be a financial burden?
Is this similar to a purchase you've regretted buying in the past?

81 Actionable Tip – Emotional Meaning of Money
6 augustus 2016 · 12 min
This month’s theme is Money Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/MoneyManagement
Stress
Happiness
Power
Arguments
Shopping
Freedom
Evil
Car payment
Security
Retirement
Ugh
These are some of the answers to "What immediately comes to mind when you hear the word money?" when I've led workshops on the Emotional Meaning of Money.
1. What comes to mind for you?
Your core beliefs translate into reality when it comes to money. It's definitely worth a look at what you believe about money for a financial health and wellness check.
Some other reflection questions:
2. What were you taught about money? 3. Where do your beliefs around money come from? 4. What does your relationship with money look like? 5. How do you feel about your relationship with money? 6. What does a healthy relationship with money look like?
Some clients have tapped into their emotions around spending and the awareness led to some shifts and changes which led to financial health and strong debt management skills.
Last questions:
7. What's one word to describe what you want your relationship with money to look like? 8. What emotional state would you like to have in your relationship with money?

Attention Management Affirmations
This month’s theme is Time Management and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/TimeManagement
I create a time and space now to reflect on where I place my attention
I tune in to my attention management skills, choices and behaviours
Keeping in mind this isn’t a time to judge myself or beat myself up
Knowing we all struggle with when to say yes and when to say no to ourselves
Discipline, intention and clarity are all a work in progress for us
I remember I can do more than one thing at a time but my brain can only focus on one thing at a time
I place a high value on where my attention goes
I pay attention to my attention...

This month’s theme is Reflections and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Reflect This is a different episode. It started as an Actionable Tip for anyone who is seeing a counsellor or therapist, but after some reflection (the theme for this month), I decided to go more audio blog style.
I describe my experiences presenting at a local transition home, where some of the residents were feeling the need to advocate for themselves. I also share a story of a time when I first started out as a clinical counsellor, when I didn't advocate for myself.
We have many reasons and excuses for not speaking up for ourselves. But I hope this episode inspires us all to speak up, draw some lines and advocate for ourselves.

71 Reflection – One Minute Reflection
21 april 2016 · 1 min
This month’s theme is Reflections and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Reflect
Based on The Reflection Worksheet, which you can get at AffirmationPod.com/Reflect, this episode is the audio version where you can check in with yourself in less than 45 seconds!
To hear the last episode where I share an example of how I've used this formula, click here.
Can reflections be fast?
Well, they don't always need to be long.
Should reflections be fast? Sometimes, yes! Like when you only have a minute before an important meeting, when you need to diffuse some anger, when life's budget doesn't afford a long time reflecting etc.
John Maxwell says "a minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk." Lees meerSometimes taking a minute to go inside yourself to know what's the running track in your mind, can be so much more effective than talking for an hour.
And bonus - this episode is the audio version you can use while on the go.

70 Worksheet Series – The Reflection Worksheet
20 april 2016 · 11 min
Continuing our 2016 Worksheet Series, this month’s theme is Reflections and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Reflect
In this episode, I share my thoughts on batching podcast episodes for the rest of the year and how I coach myself through moments when I feel intimidated with this goal.
The next episode will be the audio version of The Reflection Worksheet, except I don't include the "buts" in the audio version. Why? Because sometimes no "but" is needed and leaves things more open ended for how much time you need to answer the guided reflection.

69 Actionable Tip – Small Wins
18 april 2016 · 10 min
This month’s theme is Pivots and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/Pivot
Change is hard.
No surprise there.
Change interrupts us. It disrupts the system our brain is used to executing. It interrupts our habits, our behaviors, our thoughts, our nervous system...and the list goes on and on.
Some of us experience a wake up call. Surviving a heart attack can lead to changes in exercise habits. In this episode I share about an elementary school principal who bought a high end treadmill after his heart attack and a psychologist/professor who started biking again and taking biking trips with his wife.
Hopefully we don't need to go through something like a heart attack to precipitate change.
It's never enough.
We often find ourselves wanting a change and then with thoughts of there's never enough time, never enough motivation, never enough energy, money, willpower, skills, support...never enough of what it takes to make a lasting change.
That's where small wins comes in.
They can help because they are quick, easy and help us gain confidence. But they also have us practicing - on a very small scale - the new behavior we want.

It starts with knowing yourself and building the success strategy for you
You have the power to change

Unattainable goals?
We can get so down on changes we AREN'T making that we want to make...and some we've strived forever to try and make them happen.
Sometimes looking in the past can give you a clue to what will help you in the future.
But how do I find what worked in the past?
By taking a look at your past. That's what this week's episode on the Pivot Worksheet is about.
It gets you identifying successful pivots you've made - woohoo! And why not celebrate them and give yourself credit while you're strolling down memory lane.
It also gets you thinking about what inspired the pivot, what got the wheels turning AND transitioned into a lasting change.
I share 3 of my pivots in this episode
My pivots from the worksheet were how I stopped doing my makeup in the car, how I started being health conscious with my eating habits and how I manage social anxiety.

Sure, circumstances impact how I feel about life

As requested by Angela - great reminder on how important Self-Forgiveness is!
This month’s theme is Core Beliefs and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs Lees meer3 Tips on taking a first step to Self-Forgiveness
If these affirmations brought up some memories, tears or readiness to free yourself of chains that you've put yourself in. Here's some tips if you wanna tell yourself to let it all go now and give yourself a clean slate.
1. Write it down
Writing a letter to yourself can help to express how you're feeling now and what a life of self-forgiveness is going to look like for you.
2. Create a ritual
Find a symbol of self-forgiveness and put it somewhere that you'll see it everyday. Or if you feel you've been throwing stones at yourself for years, go out in nature, get a stone and have it represent that you're not going to do this anymore.
3. Tell someone
Select someone to share this with that is trustworthy and has the emotional muscle to hear these things. It always helps if they are on a journey of self-forgiveness too! It could be a friend, family member, or therapist - someone you know will accept and understand this path.

62 Guided Affirmation – I Am Significant
4 april 2016 · 16 min
Following up on last week’s episode on Core Beliefs, here is the “I am Significant” Guided Affirmation. You can also get the worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs
This episode gives you time to repeat the affirmations and there will be some where you can fill in the blank. Lees meerTip 1: Write your affirmations down and say them. This will process them differently in your brain than if just think them.
Tip 2: It’ll be easier to remember your affirmations if you tag them onto something you already part of your daily routine, like after you brush your teeth, wash your hands, drink your coffee, or put on your pajamas.
If it’s a struggle for you to incorporate affirmations into your life...maybe you’ve tried and it just hasn’t worked, I encourage you to take my online course Journaling Pod. It includes guided journaling templates in written and audio form and #11 is on core beliefs. Feel happier, less negative and more productive by journaling for less than 10 minutes a day with Journaling Pod.

61 Worksheet Series – Core Beliefs
30 maart 2016 · 26 min
"We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your own life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience." -Louise L. Hay This month’s theme is Core Beliefs and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs
Before I go over my experience with the Core Beliefs Worksheet, here are three points on Core Beliefs:
1. Core Beliefs -> Thoughts -> Feelings -> Reality
Your core beliefs show up in how you think, feel and live. You can probably think of family, friends, co-workers and be able to pick out pretty quickly what their core beliefs are. Sometimes it's not so easy to recognize them in ourselves but if we want any change in ourselves and in our lives, it's vital we take a look at our core beliefs.
2. Not all Core Beliefs are Truths. Some are blatant lies!
Some core beliefs need a 10, 20 or 30 degree to see a huge improvement in our lives. Other core beliefs need to be flipped 180 degrees in order to see benefits. We can challenge our core beliefs and understand how much truth may (or may not!) but a part of them.
3. Be Ready for a Fight
If you're trying on a different core belief, woohoo! Just remember it's wise to expect a fight. Destructive or not, core beliefs won't go down without a fight BUT if those beliefs are creating a reality you no longer want or need, it's time to lace up those gloves.
I also encourage you to SAY your new core beliefs. It may feel uncomfortable. It may not feel "you" but change takes time and we all have to start somewhere. Lees meerThe sister episode to this one is Episode 70 Worksheet Series - The Reflection Worksheet

60 Announcement – New Episode Series
27 maart 2016 · 11 min
Here's the two announcements in this episode 1. New Episode Series
Starting with the next episode, the next 8 months of content will have a theme each month. The themes are based on the 8 worksheets in the Affirmation Pod Reflection Workbook. The first episode of the month will be me talking about the worksheet and the rest of the episodes for the month will be based on the theme. We start next week with the topic of Core Beliefs!
2. New Bribe to Subscribe!
Since I am updating the worksheets in the Affirmation Pod Reflection Workbook, I decided to create a new bribe to subscribe to my email list. One day, while walking my dog, I remembered something that was helpful for my transformation after my season of exhaustion. As I was picking up dog poop, I recalled the affirmations I would have with me as I worked out on my treadmill. One of them was I Am Me by Virgina Satir.
I also remembered how I would journal and create my own version of I Am Me and started thinking of making a worksheet where you could do that too. That's when New Beliefs 101 was born! It's a worksheet that walks you through a declaration of who you are NOW. It guides you to leave your old beliefs and behaviors behind, and move forward to new beliefs, new thoughts, new choices....and ultimately a new life!

54 When Grieving
5 maart 2016 · 4 min
This really hurts
This pain is so challenging
At times I just don’t know how to manage it
I feel lost
I feel overwhelmed
I’m hurting and I’m numb at the same time
One moment I feel okay , the next I feel distraught
Something so random can make me crumble
I feel it
It hurts
This is so hard
My head and my heart are not in the same place
I give myself time and space to grieve
I give myself time and space to mourn
I give myself time and space to cry
My emotions can be a mixed bag
But I have many options for facing my feelings
I can write a poem, a story, a journal entry
I can create a song, a painting, a memory book
I can dance, sing, or do both...

I did it
It wasn’t totally easy
But it was easier than I imagined
I stayed in my body
I stayed in the moment
I relaxed
I kept in sync with my inner strength
Now it’s done
And I give myself credit
for my strength
for my tenacity

for coaching myself through it
and I will apply my strength the next time as well
I did it

50 Meditation – I Choose to Rest
8 februari 2016 · 7 min
I choose to rest now
Whatever could be done, would be done, should be done will wait
I am pushing pause on the outside world
So I can be with my inside world
I choose to rest
I don’t even have to breathe deeply
I simply rest
I recharge, I recover, I rejuvenate
Rest is important to me
Rest builds up my immune system
Rest builds up my mental clarity
Rest builds my spirituality
I choose to rest now and regularly
I give myself many gifts
One of them is rest
And I choose to continue my rest
As the music continues...

I can do this
I am taking deep breaths
I am calm, I am centered
I’ve got my game face on
I am sticking to my focus and purpose
I am visualizing the result I want
I feel my inner strength and power
I will carry myself with dignity and respect
I will regard others with dignity and respect
I can do this
It may not be easy but I am prepared and motivated
I will give the best of myself
I can do this
Yes, I can do this

Life can get difficult. Jobs are lost, hearts are broken, plans get changed, things go wrong. We’ve all been there.
But when life gives you lemons, how do you cope? How do you navigate through grief with resilience? How do you control your emotions instead of letting them control you?
Maybe you have unhealthy coping strategies. Maybe you bury your emotions, talk down to yourself, or power through the day without allowing yourself even a moment of rest and reflection.Sound familiar? Not anymore!👇🏻
