083 | POV: It's Been a Hard Week and We Go to Coffee

In today’s episode, I want to talk more about what happens when it’s been a hard week, and our emotions are allll over the place. For me personally, I’ve been intentional about personal growth and healing for several years now, but my brain will still default to old patterns of negative thinking when I’m feeling burned out, or just plain sad. While I don’t want to stay stuck spiraling into these negative thoughts and beliefs, I’ve learned to get comfortable with them, acknowledge them, and move on. Feeling a full range of emotions is a GOOD thing - I’m constantly working on this with my kids, because crying and releasing pent up emotions is necessary!   In this episode, we cover: Why walking is one of the most underrated tools that will totally improve your mental health Why your brain defaults to old, negative patterns at times, even after you’ve been on a personal growth and healing journey for awhile The importance of feeling a full range of emotions and letting them come out in healthy ways The endless possibilities that can happen when we let go of certain feelings and create space for new ones The rollercoaster of emotions that we experience when we are being intentional and trying new, uncomfortable things   Resources & Links: Learn more about ASCEND retreats and get on my email list to get all the updates!
