A question was sent in asking how someone may identify repressed anger. It’s a great question and the subject of this week’s Mindset Reset. While working with a licensed professional is the best way to uncover, accept, and process the things that make you angry, there are a few things you can do to help yourself get a jump start on uncovering what you’ve not yet worked through.

Learn more as we move through what repressed anger is, how to spot it, what triggers feel like, and how to move through it.

Janice Q. submitted today’s Mindset Reset. She wrote: “I love these (Mindset Resets.) I’ve learned so much about my thought process. I was wondering if there were any questions I could ask myself to help check in and reset instead of just being a specific thing. Is there something more broad that could help me find that center?”

Have you ever heard the saying, “You’ve got to fall in love with yourself first?”

Many women reject this idea, but the truth is, the longest relationship you will have during your time on this earth is the relationship you have with yourself. Therefore, nurturing yourself is highly important, and if you want to have a life that is together, abundant, and truly in alignment, you must put yourself first.

This week we’re chatting about putting yourself in first position after receiving a question from Margaret in Austin, Texas about how to hold space for ourselves and not feel guilty!

Do you lack balance? Most women do! Today, I am guiding you through creating daily balance through a simple process.

Do you struggle with procrastination? What about the lack of motivation? So many do and even identify as procrastinators. This belief can overrun our lives! It can even cause higher levels of stress, anxiety, fear, and a host of other negative feelings. This week we are taking a different approach to procrastination as we examine what these habits are at their roots and how our mindset and thinking patterns are the true culprits. From there, we’re brain hacking our way out of our full stops and onto the path of true motivation in this week’s one-on-one deep dive.

Worry is an emotion that, although it can be helpful in working through certain situations when used to drive plan-based or result-based thinking positively, yet, when it’s done in excess and occurring multiple times throughout any given day that worry can be problematic to the mind, body, and soul on all levels. Stress from worrying affects the circulation of energy in the body. It disrupts the nervous system and impacts your liver to the point that it dumps excess sugar into the bloodstream and impedes your inner voice from allowing your wisdom to be heard and acknowledged.

Did you know that most people have a common failure pattern? Most people have strategies that they engage in that causes them to struggle or even fail, even if they truly desire to win or have a positive outcome.

Knowing your patterns are essential, and it’s the subject of this week’s mindset reset. Kayla from the UK wrote, “Danielle, I often feel stuck. I’ve read books. I’ve worked with a therapist. I’ve listened to your podcasts on being stuck, but I keep wondering if the problem isn’t actually me. I spend a lot of my time thinking about how hard it is to make changes, and then I stop myself from doing the work. I am unrealistic about how long change takes and constantly beat myself up. I am always failing. I can see this is a pattern for me, but I don’t know how to change it. Can you help?”

One of the hardest things to teach is self-connection—yet, connecting with yourself is the only way to create a sense of belonging and empowerment, and it’s the only way to find authenticity. With that much riding on inner connection, we have to build an inner relationship that starts somewhere, and that somewhere is within you.

Jillian from Bar Harbor, Maine, wrote in and said, “Danielle, I read a quote the other day that said, ‘If you do not feel like you have a place in the world, connect with your inner self.’ (End quote). That’s a fine statement, but what if you do not feel like you are connected with yourself, either? Sometimes I feel as if I’ve been asleep my entire life. As I do more work on healing and growing, as you suggest, I feel as though I need a few more tools to connect with myself. What would you suggest?

Oh, my goodness, this is the 100th episode of the Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast! What an adventure this has been—I’m so grateful for everyone who has listened, written in, asked questions, and suggested topics. You’ve made all 100 episodes incredibly special. I’m excited to see what another 100 brings.

Today, I thought we would chat about purpose!

So, let’s dive in. First, I want us to shift our perspective. I believe we have gotten too narrow in our thinking when it comes to the idea of living our purpose or finding one life purpose. This conversation may go against popular belief, and I’m okay with that.

Nearly everyone has heard the term “mindfulness,” but not everyone knows what mindfulness actually means. In fact, if you type the word Mindfulness into Google, you’ll be overwhelmed by the number of articles, books, videos, and content that appears. So I’ll save you two minutes—once you hit enter, over 739 MILLION results appear on Google alone.

Xander from Rhodes, Greece, wrote in and said, “Danielle, I have listened to every episode of your podcast, and you often mention being mindful or use the word mindfulness. I’ve heard a lot about mindfulness over the last year, but I’m not sure I know what it means or how to be mindful. Can you put mindfulness into simple terms that we can all understand? And is there an easy way to practice mindfulness that helps us in our healing and growth journey?

Do you lack balance? Most women do! Today, I am guiding you through creating daily balance through a simple process.

Do you lack patience? Being patient is a massive struggle for many people, but for women, especially. Some of our impatience is due to our many roles and responsibilities, and some lead back to our habits and routines. We take on how to practice patience in today’s Mindset Reset.

Your daily habits and routines are far more critical and impactful than you may think. One of the complaints or misalignments I hear is that many women feel their lives are not what they wanted them to be. They feel stuck, uninspired, off-balance, and certainly not peaceful. Yet, when I ask for them to walk me through their day-to-day life, we can often root out that they are simply not engaging in their lives in a way that is fulfilling or nurturing their rounded well-being. They have shifted into autopilot and lack a framework that helps them engage in the balance, inspiration, and peace they so deeply deserve and desire.

Have you ever uttered, “My heart hurts,” when you’ve been in a trying, stressful, or emotionally complicated situation? It’s common for people to relate to the idea that when things are hard that we experience heartbreak or pain in our heart center.

The heart communicates with the brain and body in four ways: the nervous system, hormones, pulse waves, and our electromagnetic fields. So, when we say our heart hurts, it’s actually true. Likewise, when our emotions become dysregulated, we feel it in our nervous system—in the heart space.

Have you ever heard the saying, “You’ve got to fall in love with yourself first?”

Many women reject this idea, but the truth is, the longest relationship you will have during your time on this earth is the relationship you have with yourself. Therefore, nurturing yourself is highly important, and if you want to have a life that is together, abundant, and truly in alignment, you must put yourself first.

This week we’re chatting about putting yourself in first position after receiving a question from Margaret in Austin, Texas about how to hold space for ourselves and not feel guilty!

In every action, experience, in every being, there is something for which we can be grateful. In fact, did you know that genuine appreciation and the practice of such in our lives can facilitate healing within our mind, body, and spirit?

In today’s mindset reset, we are leaning into four quick and easy gratitude exercises that take only a few minutes each and have incredible results when practiced. Think about how much your day-to-day would shift if you took a moment to count your blessings instead of glazing over them.

Life is filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and moments where we are tested. But, as the saying goes, the only constant thing in life is change.

For today’s mindset reset, we are leaning into how to build resilience in our day-to-day lives.

Many of us struggle with bouncing back when hard things enter our lives. Unfortunately, most focus on the problem instead of what it will take to move forward or the strategies they have already used in the past. The truth is the problem is more with our focus and inner belief than anything. Yet, this would definitely be different if we had a resiliency plan.

Stress comes in many forms, and too much stress, of any type, can feel overwhelming and all-consuming at times. It can even have us losing faith in ourselves and the world around us, because we all know that stress has a way of building to the point that even the simplest moments can become challenging and unmanageable, our health can be impacted, and it can even affect our relationships and our day-to-day happiness factor.

We’re kicking off the first mini mindset reset with one of the topic situations I am most asked about: how to challenge negative thinking.

So, let’s jump right in.

If you practice this exercise consistently, you’ll be amazed by how automatic it will become to challenge your negative thoughts and negative thinking loops. This practice is excellent for dealing with anxiety, too. So, give yourself 15 minutes and give it a try before you begin to work it into your day-to-day life. It does take practice.

In this week’s episode, we chat with Transformational Shaman, Kelle Sparta, who walks us through her journey of healing her childhood, leaving the life she has created but did not recognize as her own, taking a walkabout of self-discovery, creating a healing strategy and system that can serve each of us, and how we can find our true selves by doing the shadow work of healing.
