A couple things to remember:Â
**Find ways to force yourself to be bored and break the cycle of emergent, anxious, action.Â
Also-
**When you're tempted to get mired in feelings brought on by someone else's words or actions, give them a break
A practice of daily gratitude, meditation, or prayer is a good way to recenter and protect yourself from unwanted feelings and emotions.

Friend, this is so cool. We're going on a fun and "daily life" improving journey together. We always have room on our plate for our work and our commitments or obligations, but- fun, self-care, creativity, and relationships have to get worked in around all the other stuff. Let's flip this script. Let's do this exercise of putting things on our plate that we LOVE-FIRST...throughout each day, not just once in a while, to make it a daily practice of valuing and honoring what each day offers us. By adding in what we need, value, and see as vital parts of the rest of our life onto our plate first, we know we can find a way to get the obligations and work in...we always do. The reverse isn't always true, however, but we're gonna change that here!
I want to connect with you deeper on the BADASS MIDLIFE FACEBOOK GROUP, friend!

Of course some decisions are harder than others, but for some of us, the act of making any decision can be paralyzing. This can leave us stuck in same old, same old because staying in our comfort zone feels so much better. There can be some very good reasons why we question ourselves, but understanding that we are equipped to work through challenges and that we are wired for resilience, can give you the push you need.

Something happens. You make a decision based on that. For good. For years to come, you have closed a door on anything that reminds you of that. That's how triggers work. Simple things can be sealed off and put away for good because of one unpleasant result. Many times you don't even question why or get curious about if or even if it was actually the way you thought it was. If you can take that trigger and ask yourself a few questions, you may find that you were wrong, irrational, or simply misinterpreted something, and you've paid the price over and over...even closing yourself off to joy or new things because the story you have told yourself became the one and only truth. Today we'll talk about mastering a negative trigger with a few simple steps.

It's very easy to pin our sour moods or erratic emotions on external circumstances or other people in our lives. The fact of the matter is, the things you feel come from SOMEWHERE. Understanding the trigger of your responses to things, will help you be able to regulate your feelings for the next time. We're often the most impatient and moody with the people we love the most. This does harm to our relationships but also to our OWN well being. Being open and vulnerable about why we're in a mood or why things agitate us and acknowledging that it's a work in progress, is the key to controlling our emotions and having a joyful life, free of mood swings and emotional upheaval.

With age does come wisdom..that is for sure. But what also happens as we age, is that we get stuck in old habits, worn out ideas, and the thoughts around things in our daily life that may have applied ONCE, may not be true any more. When we remain stuck in old thinking and in self-protection mode, we often look (and then become) "closed" or cold, making us unapproachable, hard, and yes....that may cause us to put our bitch face on.Â
In this episode I want to share how reframing some old thoughts can help you become more relaxed, approachable, and even more wise.

Being vulnerable isn't as easy as it sounds. It's been such a buzz word lately, and though it doesn't seem like something we would try to avoid, we do. Midlife is the perfect time to find that lucky person that you can be vulnerable with. It's not always fun, but it's always helpful. Go on, you can do it.
