Episode 11: 3 Questions

In this podcast today, I'm going to ask you 3 questions that will help you reflect on yourself and your life. These questions can be really helpful in determining your next steps and helping you find more fulfillment in life.

  1. Are you feeling any pain right now?

  2. What would you love to see differently in your life and what would that look like?

  3. What is one small thing you can do for yourself today to work towards that hope?

Our bodies are incredible things. They are designed to protect us from harm and to heal us when we are hurt. But sometimes, the physical pain we experience can be a reminder of past trauma or hurt. This is because our bodies store memories of both good and bad experiences. When we encounter something that reminds our body of a negative experience, it can bring up those old feelings of pain and hurt. However, the pain we feel in our bodies can also be a sign that we are doing something wrong or that we need to make a change. So, if you are feeling any pain right now, ask yourself what your body might be trying to tell you. It could be something as simple as needing to drink more water or getting more rest, or might be a bit more complex and prompting you to speak to a health professional.

We all have something in our lives that we would like to change. For some of us, it may be our job, our relationships, our weight, or where we live. The list goes on and on. Changing our lives can be a scary proposition because it means stepping out of our comfort zones and into the unknown. However, it is important to remember that we cannot change something if we do not know what we want that change to look like. So, take some time to think about what you would like to see differently in your life. What would that look like? What would you be doing? Who would you be spending your time with? Once you have a clear idea of what you want, you can begin to explore the possibilities and brainstorm what that might look like.

When it comes to making positive changes in our lives, it's often easy to feel overwhelmed. Where do I even start? How can I make a lasting difference? Will my efforts really make a difference? These are all common questions that can prevent us from even taking the first step.

The good news is, we can start small. Making small changes in our daily lives can have a big impact in the long run. And it doesn't have to be something major or life-changing. Sometimes, it can be as simple as adding a daily walk to our routine or packing a healthy lunch instead of buying takeout.

Starting small also helps to ease the feeling of being overwhelmed.
