Send us a textControl is a funny thing and one I see so many women cling to when life feels chaotic or funny enough when life is out of control. When things feel out of control in your life the response is often to cling tighter to controlling that thing. To maneuver it in a way that lessens anxiety.The funny thing is the more you try to control, the more the anxiety will increase. In this episode I am teaching you three ways you can actually let go of control AND lessen your anxiety in the process. The Anxiety Buster Bundlehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/offers/XFk2XLuCSpiritual Survival Coursehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/spiritual-survival-course-special-offerClarity in the Chaos Coursehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/meditationConnection Coursehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/connection-courseYou might also enjoy these episodes from the LDS Mental Health PodcastEpisode 122: 4 Foundations to Stronger Mental Healthhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/122Episode 119: 7 Sabotagers of Your Mental Health (Part 1)https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/119Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textYou may not know this, but I have a full time job working as a therapist on the Navajo Reservation. As part of this job, I consult with a Navajo traditional counselor frequently. In order to help create healing with not only western medicine, our behavioral health department also creates traditional healing with Navajo healers who perform ceremonies, teachings and specific prayers.Our traditional healer, Ernest Begay, has taught me so much about the Navajo teachings and every time I am so blown away at how closely they fit with the teachings of the gospel. One teaching that he is always pressing upon us as therapists is the concept of arrows being shot at us due to the nature of what we take on everyday.Join me today as I relate these traditional teachings to how you can avoid the onslaught of arrows in your life.Join the 30 Days to Stronger Mental Health Challengehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/MentalHealthYou might also enjoy these episodes from the LDS Mental Health PodcastEpisode 122: 4 Foundations to Stronger Mental Healthhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/122Episode 112: 3 Things That Make Trials Worsehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/112Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textWomen who come to me often don’t realize that even though they may be facing opposition they can actually have peace in their life regardless. They just need the right tools to take them from being a doer of the gospel instead of a receiver.When they learn how to do that, everything changes for them.So in this episode I am going to cover what it is like when you AREN’T being influenced by the natural man. What does it take to not be influenced by the natural man and what are you able to do once you are there. I’ve coined the term Divine Receiver as the state you are in when you are not being influenced by the natural man. But before I dive into what it takes to become a divine receiver, I want to outline a couple things about being in the natural man doer state. Join the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching Programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/removing-roadblocks-to-revelationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the LDS Mental Health PodcastEpisode 112: 3 Things That Make Trials Worsehttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/112Episode 110: Sink Your Stresshttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/110Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077
