Positively FearLyss Podcast: Recent Episodes
Alyssa Akerman
Positively FearLyss is a mindset. It is a conscious choice you make each day you wake up. Will today be a good day or a bad day? What can I do today to live out my life as the best version of myself? Being Positively FearLyss does not mean we always glow with positivity or have no fear. Together, by sharing our life experiences, we will learn how to make it a point to always look for the good at any given time, no matter how difficult it can be. We will learn how important it is to be confident in the decisions we make for ourselves and our families. We will persevere. We regret nothing. We are Positively FearLyss.
Welcome to the second part of a three-part mini series with Tom Asmus!

Today we are talking about overthinking. About those times when we dissect a situation to death or make something simple into something overly complex. I am afflicted by overthinking, and I am sure many of you experience this in your life.

So, we are in a new year, and I’m sure you’ve all heard that saying “new year, new me!”
It’s great in theory, but I kind of like me, so I try to look at it as I’m the same me, just trying to improve on the previous version. I want to take a hard look in the mirror and really identify my strengths and weaknesses and work on them all. Overall, I want to have specific intentions in my life.
Two things you should always remember.
- You can achieve any goal you set for yourself
- You have to trust yourself and be your own advocate

We have talked about the little things in life sometimes becoming the big things. Today, I’m talking about gasoline. Putting gas in your car. It’s a necessity for most of us, having a reliable way to get to work or appointments, but have you ever stopped to really think about putting gas in your car?

Fall is nearly here! Or Autumn. Autumn is a much more sophisticated way to explain this season, but I call it Fall, and it’s my favorite season! Our quote for today is, “It’s so strange that autumn is so beautiful; yet everything is dying.”

Have you ever had one of those weeks when you’re trying to figure out what’s important in life? Those times when it doesn’t seem to make sense why we were put on this earth if all we were meant to do was work full-time to collect a paycheck in hopes that we can use that money to live an exciting life? That’s been this week for me. It hasn’t been the first week and it won’t be the last. And I’m sure some of you have dealt with this too.

I have a tattoo on my arm that says “Regret Nothing.” I got it in college, and I have been asked about it more times than I can count. I think the meaning behind it is important to share with you, despite it coming from a kind of dark place.

A friend gave me some good advice this week. It was in regards to my marathon training in particular, but the advice was this, “mile by mile.” And I thought it was important to consider that mindset in all things, not just training for a marathon.

Today we are talking about time, and the illusion that we don’t seem to have enough time to accomplish the things we want. Well, it’s just that, an illusion.
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”

Guys, my point is this, we have to stop hating on everybody. We have to stop our negative way of thinking because all it’s doing is breeding more hate and negativity. Take the time to evaluate yourself and what you are putting out into the world. Really try to adjust your way of thinking so that you don’t get stuck in that negativity.
