148. The Way You Are Feeling Is Not Bad

Hey everyone, Jennie here with the latest episode of the LDS Mission Podcast. On this week's episode, I wanted to discuss the importance of viewing our emotions in a positive light. Rather than labeling feelings as "good" or "bad", I encourage listeners to think of emotions as helpful signals that can guide us.   I share several analogies, such as comparing emotions to smoke detectors, that are meant to keep us safe rather than trigger shame. Tune in to learn how emotions can reveal what matters to us, show us what's possible, and even spur us to positive action.   My hope is that reframing how we think about feelings will help all missionaries to navigate their experiences with more confidence and self-compassion. I'll be sharing some of my favorite tools and strategies, so don't miss out on this insightful discussion!   If you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and write a review. I know this work will help missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.   Website | Instagram | Facebook   Get the Full Show Notes HERE   Free PDF Download:  Preparing Missionary Cheat Sheet   My Free Training for Preparing Missionaries:  Change Your Mission with this One Tool   RM Transition Free Video Series:  3 Tools to Help RMs in Their Transition Home   Free Guide:  5 Tips to Help Any Returning Missionary   Schedule a Free Strategy Call:   Click Here
