Dare to Tri S1 E15

S1 E 15 2/22/2022 Thought/Quote: (Johanna) Recap of last week’s Truth/Dare: (Johanna) Dare: Find the root cause of a specific fear : Choose 1 or more : Emotional, Physical, Mental and Spiritual blocks and face your fear. Johanna: I was hyper focused, and instead of facing my fears and dealing with the overwhelming feeling, I became very overwhelmed. I learned that when I look at all the things that overwhelm me, the dishes, laundry and kids…and neglect the thing that is actually stressing me. I know how to do dishes and laundry, but I don’t know how to parent. Being a parent is what overwhelms me the most. Talked with my husband, and he does the same thing with school. I learned that maybe I am not overwhelmed by everything, but one thing, that can poison the whole experience. Talking helps, breaking it down into smaller pieces. We have all had to face our childhoods, and consider what we weren’t taught. We are all figuring it out. Bretagne: Its easy to isolate ourselves from those who can you most when you are needing help. Remembering that I was once weak gives me strength. What overwhelms me, is that I am not an expert. And I decided to let that go. Physically: Because I always push my physical limits, To push past my fear, was to not be active. Allowing myself to be still. Emotionally: Talked with a friend about my past traumas, and it brought us closer. Spiritually: Meditated for a hour, which I have not done before. I was afraid, but I did it anyway. Mentally: Embarrassing that I am not an expert, and I met people and for the first time I identified as a writer, and a yoga teacher. Embracing that I am learning, but I am these things. Anike: My problem is that I don’t have a lack of interest or opportunity, its focus. What causes the most overwhelm is not speaking up, because of my fear of rejection, and not wanting to be inconsiderate or understanding. If you can speak up about the little things, you can speak up about the big things. And I actually needed to talk to Johanna, because I was afraid you held resentment against me. So because of this podcast, I called Johanna and had a critical conversation. And I had an opportunity at work to speak up about a fan. I was able to learn form this experience and learn that my overwhelm comes from the fear of rejection. We create and decide things for other people. Practice on the little moment, making the big moments that much easier. New Truth/ Dare (Anike) Tell me a time about a time you reached a physical goal that was challenging? When was the last time you pushed your physical limits. Anike: Giving Birth naturally Johanna: When I feel like quitting, I push harder Bretagne: I can now do a pullup Dare: Make a goal this week to challenge yourself physically, More than you already do. Complete it this week. Push your limits!
