When to Give Yourself Grace, or Kick Yourself in the Ass

from Modern Body Modern Life · host Courtney Gray

We’ve all been there—caught in that moment of going back on a decision. Do I push myself to follow through, or do I give myself permission to change my mind?In this episode, I dive into the delicate balance between extending grace to yourself and giving yourself the loving “kick in the ass" that you sometimes need to stay aligned with your goals.I share:How to tell the difference between your inner voice (future-focused self) and your primitive brain (present-focused self).Real-life examples of when it might be time to rest… and when it’s actually time to step up.Powerful questions you can ask yourself in the moment to gain clarity, including:Does this decision move me closer to or further from my goals?At the end of the day, which choice will I be proud of?Am I being realistic, or am I aiming for perfection?What feels most loving to me right now?Why sometimes the most loving act is following through with the plan you made for yourself.This episode will help you start recognizing when to show compassion to yourself—and when to challenge yourself—so you can build trust, follow through, and live the life you really want.✨ Your homework: Start practicing these questions in real time. The more you ask, the more you’ll learn to recognize the voice of your true self versus your primitive brain.Currently, I work with women privately and in my monthly membership.  Click HERE to head to my website to learn more.
