Emotionally Uncomfortable

12 DAYS OF MOTHERING {DAY ONE} Day One: The Law Of Oneness "Everything is connected to everything else. What we think, say, do and believe will have a corresponding effect on others and the world around us. Everything that exists seen and unseen is connected to each other, inseparable from each other to a field of divine oneness. Divine all-knowing, the matrix, pure consciousness or universal mind energy, sometimes also known as Life Force or God. Everything is one." (Wikipedia) Our next Time & Energy Intensive is Saturday, January 5th Apply here: www.heatherchauvin.com/intensive

In this episode I talk about: Why I never budgeted in the past during the gift-giving season (and why I do now). How financial budgeting saves your time and energy as well. Why making more money doesn't mean having more in the bank, or more presents under the tree. ..................................................................................................

"If happiness is what you're after, then you are going to be let down frequently…Joy, though, is something else. It's not a choice, not a response to some result, it is a constant. Joy is 'the feeling we have from doing what we are fashioned to do', not matter the outcome." -Matthew McConaughey. In this episode, you will learn: How you're sabotaging your joy without even knowing it The dangers of all or nothing thinking How to infuse more joy into your life just by being yourself Xo H P.S.

I want to dedicate this episode to my dear friend, Michelle, who was recently promoted to heaven. She and I were diagnosed with cancer around the same time, and her journey was a very public one. She made waves in healthcare and the community. In July, she took a trip to Thailand with her family. She announced over instagram "For the next two weeks, I'll spend my time the most important way, making memories with my kids." In light of her example, today I want to talk about living life on our own terms, and infusing the deep connection we desire with our families. I have prepared a ton of examples of how you can give experiences to your loved ones over gifts this holiday season. Some of the ideas I use were inspired by a blog post I read on Mother.ly https://www.mother.ly/life/experience-gifts-to-give-instead-of-toys Here are some websites mentioned in today's episode: www.bouqs.com www.littlepassports.com www.farmstayus.com www.chatbooks.com www.familyacademy.co/bepresentbox …………………………………………..............................................................

Today I want to share a little bit about managing your energy this holiday season. What does that look like for you? The holidays can be a stressful time for many of us. Buyers's remorse, pressure from family, over scheduling events, and the fear of judgement are some of the many things I've heard women name as a source for their stress during the holidays. I invite you to welcome it in, and then ask yourself, "What am I learning from this situation?" It's ok to say "no." You have to set healthy boundaries to manage your energy, your resources, and your time. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my American friends, and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and remember, you are enough. ..................................................................................................

Today I want to share my business journey with you. It's important to dream for change. This is how we change the world, and have a ripple effect. I left a traditional world of therapists to seek other alternative and holistic approaches to healing myself and the people around me. My business and money story wasn't easy. I'd have money come in and then I'd reinvest it, and watch it go out. I didn't know how to create profit or get out of debt. I learned that I couldn't do it all on my own, and I had to get the right help. If you feel called to do something, realize that there is a lot that goes into it. If you're looking at my story, don't look at where I'm at right now. Realize that what I've created in a decade, you can't create overnight. I wouldn't be where I am today without continuously taking action. I'm not talking about hustling, or burning yourself out. We don't have to neglect ourselves physically, emotionally, or spiritually to be successful or to be a good mother. Give yourself permission to want what you want. What do you want? Focus on what you your soul craves, create a plan and action steps to get there, and don't give up on the whole process. .................................................................................................

Creating your life in alignment with how you want to feel and the person that you are meant to be is not about hustle, or burning yourself out. It's about MOTHERING YOURSELF, and taking care of your needs first so you can be in a place to meet the needs of those who depend on you. What is your soul craving? There will be resistance, fear and excuses. We have to run toward the discomfort instead of running away from it to create momentum. Today I want to share about Creating Momentum: Put it on the calendar Get an accountability partner Follow through When we create momentum, we begin to live our lives in alignment and we start FEELING the way we want to feel. ..................................................................................................

How do I get myself back into alignment when I feel off? Today's episode is about taking control, not of the everything around you, but your own emotions and energy. You have to put effort and energy into how you want to feel, and that is the most unselfish thing you can do. Today I share a little bit about my own journey and how I used to handle stressful situations by controlling the things around me. As soon as I discovered how to let go of control and started nurturing myself, I started approaching my relationships from a place of ease and love, and my circumstances became easier. There will always be days when I feel off because this is life, but I still feel in control because I know what I need to do. Tomorrow is always a new day, and I know I can use the time and energy management techniques that I teach to get myself back to where I need to be. .............................................................................................

We can see the light in others, but we can't always see how bright OUR light is. The beauty is I find hints difficult, just like you. This is what makes us human. This is why I'm such a fan of community. We were not created to live alone. In this podcast episode I talk about some uncomfortable decisions I had to make in order to get my book out into the world. It's time to start asking for help, and realize you CANNOT do this alone. There are resources all around you, you just have to look for them. Also a friendly reminder: We are now accepting applications for the Time and Energy Intensive. To get more info and apply, visit HeatherChauvin.com/Intensive.
