The Boundaries.me Podcast

In this highlight from the show, Dr. Cloud talks about how and why we procrastinate and gives us some deceptively simple ways to address it. It starts with shrinking the task. Because the things we are putting off doing are always overwhelming in some way, the key is in breaking it down to one simple thing you can do. It’s not that you lack the ability to do the thing you’re avoiding, it’s just that you aren’t moving. Your emergency brake is engaged. Get that parking brake off, pop that tiny hole in the balloon, start the “leak” in that task and you’re off and running.   Dr. Cloud's next workshop is on Healing Parental Wounds. In this 2-hour live streaming webinar Dr. Cloud will help you identify your parental relationship injuries, understand how to face them, and give you the practical tools and advice you need to grow past your suffering. If you can't attend live, don't worry, you can stream the recording as much as you like. Discounted pricing is available until October 9th.

So much of our self-talk is happens automatically, especially when we’re stressed. Dr. Cloud talks about how to start replacing those critical voices with positive ones, not just on your own, but with the people you surround yourself with.

We all want to be self confident but it’s often elusive. Dr. Cloud takes us through an introduction on how we acquire self confidence. Self confidence comes from trusting yourself and your actions. That’s hard to do when we doubt ourselves. Dr. Cloud brings it back to original sin, and the idea that we are able to judge like God does. When we commit to these types of self judgments we are no longer simply doing the thing in front of us, but also criticizing it in ways that cause anxiety, fear of failure and slew of other problems that trip us up. Self confidence comes from practice in the absence of judgment. Remember this, when you’re self confident, you’re never thinking about self confidence.   Dr. Cloud's "Getting Over Trauma" workshop is on August 30th at 5pm Pacific!

In this highlight from The Dr. Cloud Show: When we’re trying to get from point A to B in a relationship or with a goal, a critical factor is our time. Literally anything we want to improve on–an addiction, finances, raising children, learning a new skill–requires time and prioritization. How we use our time is obviously important, but it’s very easy to miss the reality of what we’re doing with it. That’s where the time audit comes in. When you learn where you’re actually spending your time doing,  you regain the opportunity to make decisions about how you’re using it. And that’s the key to the time audit: it clearly shows you where you’re spending your time, and where you can choose to spend it differently. It empowers you to make new and better decisions.   Dr. Cloud's "Getting Over Trauma" workshop is on August 30th at 5pm Pacific!

In this highlight from the podcast, Dr. Cloud discusses the old cliche about how your thinking determines your feelings. Does your thinking change your feelings? Do your feelings change your behavior? Does your behavior change your thinking? In short, yes, to all of these depending on what you need to address. It might not be intuitive. You might be feeling anxious, and you know that changing your thinking will change how you’re feeling, but good luck! We often find that with anxiety, we need to change behavior first in order to change our thinking which in turn changes how we’re feeling, as one quick example. Dr. Cloud discusses how it’s often not one formula that’s going to get you to the solution and provides some useful illustrations on how this all works.

In this highlight from the Dr. Cloud Show, Henry talks about a key mental state for making big changes. 99% of what you’re trying to accomplish in your life has been done, even the really hard stuff. People have lost 100 pounds, they have turned around broken relationships, they’ve gone from bankruptcy to wealth. These things happen and they can happen for you, but it requires doing things differently than you’re doing them. The first step is believing it’s possible. The next step is getting help. After that we have to set out a plan and that’s where the “no choice choice” comes in. You choose that something you want to do is not an option, it’s not a decision. Dr. Cloud gives examples on how to get started in small ways and how those small steps make outsized impacts.   Dr. Cloud's "Getting Over Trauma" workshop is on August 30th at 5pm Pacific!

In this highlight from the podcast, Dr. Cloud dives into an all-too common problem during confrontations: Hijacking. We’ve probably all had this happen at least once. Someone has done something that needs to be addressed and when we confront them they externalize it: it’s about someone else, or some other thing that happened. The problem is no longer in the room, and as we all know, you can’t fix a problem that’s not in the room. Another thing they might do is turn into the victim and shut down. When this happens they have effectively hijacked the conversation. Dr. Cloud gives examples on how to handle various types of hijacking.   We have an upcoming workshop called Getting Over Trauma on August 30th at 5pm Pacific!

The word “hate” triggers lots of thoughts in most people, but there are good types of hate. It’s good to hate depression, poverty, lies, violence and so on. In fact, what we hate can actually  define us in positive ways. At the core of this talk, Dr. Cloud points out that while hating is a very natural human emotion, it needs to be done the right way.   We have an upcoming workshop called Getting Over Trauma on August 30th at 5pm Pacific!
