Quotes "We think that we need the other person in order to forgive, that we need an apology or that the person has to change their behavior. Everything starts within us. We are the only ones that need to do our part of the job." [18:49] "A lot of us are unaware of the way we treat ourselves. We are not even conscious of this inner dialog where we constantly criticize ourselves, judge ourselves, put ourselves down, beat ourselves up for any mistake." [22:37] "For a lot of us, the opinions that everyone else has about our lives are more important than our own opinion. And this is because we have been afraid of looking inside, not knowing what we are going to discover. And what you need to love someone is to know that person." [23:59] "I believe that a relationship is when two mature individuals share the love that they already have from themselves." [26:26] Resources Mentioned Judith M.

During yesterday's Q&A session, an odd question came up. I was asked how someone can identify when thinking about something negative has become an indulgence. I always say, "Face it. Feel it. Heal it." But there certainly comes a point where you've had enough negativity, and any more of it could be detrimental to your well-being. So, how do you know when it's time to stop? That's what we'll be talking about today. On This Episode Identify how thinking negative thoughts can reach a point of indulgence Understand how repeatedly thinking a certain way creates neural connections Learn how to deviate from negative thought loops Quotes "Let's say, there's a negative thought and you don't want to run from it, but how do you know when you've kind of thought about it as much as you can?" [1:00] "Indulgence sounds so mean but here's why it's an indulgence. Once you've thought about it often enough, what happens is you're creating these neural connections, these loops in your brain… and they become hardwired. [2:40] "If you ruthlessly commit and say, 'It doesn't matter. I am dedicating myself and my time to walk on this path and I will not go on that other path again.' Eventually--think about it--that new path will be as well-worn as the first. But now it's taking you somewhere, potentially, somewhere so much better." [4:21] "What you want to do is you want to think up the most amazing picture that gives you a sense of peace and calm. Either a scenario, a situation, an image. Just some sort of visual... You want to picture that scene, and now you want to infuse it with as much color and emotion and using every sense you have to make it so bold, so bright, so vibrant. Once you have that image, that feeling, you want to lock it into your mind." [6:08] "This takes practice, and it takes consistency, and it takes repetition. But can it be done? A hundred percent."

We know that unhealed betrayals adversely affect our relationships and, possibly, even our health. The pain of betrayal can affect every single aspect of your life, and that includes the professional side. Today, I want to talk about the seven ways unhealed betrayals can adversely affect your business. Some of these you may have already figured out, but a few may come as a surprise. On This Episode Identify seven ways your business can be affected by unhealed betrayals See how you can take another step towards healing from betrayal Discover the nature of your belief system and regain your confidence and self esteem Quotes "If you're not feeling worthy and deserving, how comfortable are you putting yourself out there, as far as, sharing the great work you do. You don't feel great about you, so how can you represent the work in a way that it needs to be showcased? And here's the thing, too. If you don't believe in you, how can you possibly expect anybody else to?" [4:05] "Your belief system is no more than the repetition of an idea from someone you trust. That's it. The repetition of an idea from someone you trust, so what that means is someone said something enough times, doesn't make it right or wrong, doesn't make it true, doesn't make it really much of anything except it makes it yours." [6:09] "So I want to go through the seven and what I invite you to do is choose even just one, even just one, so you can work on that one. Here's the thing, you're not going to heal from your whole betrayal just working on one of these areas, but at least it's a step in the right direction." [8:02] "Remember that betrayals shattered your confidence. And if you don't have the confidence, how are you putting yourself out there in a way that you need to, to get your message across?"

The most amazing questions come up in the PBT Membership Community when I hold our weekly live "coffee chats" and it's always an interesting conversation. This came up recently and I have a feeling it will serve you too. So often, we have that nagging, inner voice; an inner critic that keeps commenting on what we're doing, what we're thinking, how we're behaving, all of it. What do we do about that? Today, I invite you to do two things to help address this. On This Episode Discover how to manage that persistent, inner critic in our mind Understand why critical thoughts pop up Learn two practical techniques to quiet that internal negative voice Quotes "The first thing is you want to become aware of what you're saying to yourselves. Are you saying kind, loving thoughts? Are you saying nasty, critical thoughts?" [0:52] "Do you hear that negative, critical voice? Does it sound familiar? Do you know where that voice is coming from? We can't change what we are unaware of. So once you know what you're dealing with, then say 'Does this serve me anymore?' and if I've outgrown it. Just because it's been a belief for so long, doesn't mean we have to keep it." [2:56] "So if a majority of our thoughts are based on these negative beliefs, think about how it's showing up throughout your day, think about the choices you're making, think about the conversations you're having with other people, think about the decisions you're making based on these beliefs." [3:44] "Even if you catch ten times throughout the day of you being judgmental or critical with yourself, that's ten opportunities to change them to something better and say something loving." [5:58] "We're always learning and growing. So why not be a little gentler, a little kinder with ourselves?"
