64 Self-Forgiveness

64 Self-Forgiveness

As requested by Angela - great reminder on how important Self-Forgiveness is! This month’s theme is Core Beliefs and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs 3 Tips on taking a first step to Self-Forgiveness If these affirmations brought up some memories, tears or readiness to free yourself of chains that you've put yourself in. Here's some tips if you wanna tell yourself to let it all go now and give yourself a clean slate. 1. Write it down Writing a letter to yourself can help to express how you're feeling now and what a life of self-forgiveness is going to look like for you.   2. Create a ritual Find a symbol of self-forgiveness and put it somewhere that you'll see it everyday. Or if you feel you've been throwing stones at yourself for years, go out in nature, get a stone and have it represent that you're not going to do this anymore. 3. Tell someone Select someone to share this with that is trustworthy and has the emotional muscle to hear these things. It always helps if they are on a journey of self-forgiveness too! It could be a friend, family member, or therapist - someone you know will accept and understand this path.

62 Guided Affirmation – I Am Significant

62 Guided Affirmation – I Am Significant

Following up on last week’s episode on Core Beliefs, here is the “I am Significant” Guided Affirmation. You can also get the worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs  This episode gives you time to repeat the affirmations and there will be some where you can fill in the blank. Tip 1: Write your affirmations down and say them. This will process them differently in your brain than if just think them. Tip 2: It’ll be easier to remember your affirmations if you tag them onto something you already part of your daily routine, like after you brush your teeth, wash your hands, drink your coffee, or put on your pajamas. If it’s a struggle for you to incorporate affirmations into your life...maybe you’ve tried and it just hasn’t worked, I encourage you to take my online course Journaling Pod. It includes guided journaling templates in written and audio form and #11 is on core beliefs. Feel happier, less negative and more productive by journaling for less than 10 minutes a day with Journaling Pod.

61 Worksheet Series – Core Beliefs

61 Worksheet Series – Core Beliefs

"We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs. Look back in your own life and notice how often you have gone through the same experience." -Louise L. Hay This month’s theme is Core Beliefs and you can get the free worksheet at AffirmationPod.com/CoreBeliefs  Before I go over my experience with the Core Beliefs Worksheet, here are three points on Core Beliefs: 1. Core Beliefs -> Thoughts -> Feelings -> Reality Your core beliefs show up in how you think, feel and live. You can probably think of family, friends, co-workers and be able to pick out pretty quickly what their core beliefs are. Sometimes it's not so easy to recognize them in ourselves but if we want any change in ourselves and in our lives, it's vital we take a look at our core beliefs. 2. Not all Core Beliefs are Truths. Some are blatant lies! Some core beliefs need a 10, 20 or 30 degree to see a huge improvement in our lives. Other core beliefs need to be flipped 180 degrees in order to see benefits. We can challenge our core beliefs and understand how much truth may (or may not!) but a part of them. 3. Be Ready for a Fight If you're trying on a different core belief, woohoo! Just remember it's wise to expect a fight. Destructive or not, core beliefs won't go down without a fight BUT if those beliefs are creating a reality you no longer want or need, it's time to lace up those gloves. I also encourage you to SAY your new core beliefs. It may feel uncomfortable. It may not feel "you" but change takes time and we all have to start somewhere.   The sister episode to this one is Episode 70 Worksheet Series - The Reflection Worksheet   SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT Thanks for supporting our sponsors! This helps keep Affirmation Pod free for you to listen to whenever you need it.

Wishing you were better at managing your emotions and staying grounded in the present? Very often, we lose ourselves in the darkness of our own judgment. We allow our inner critic to drown out our voice of self-compassion, and find ourselves in a downward spiral of negativity - yikes! But imagine what would happen if you started speaking to yourself kindly. Imagine if you embraced all parts of yourself - even the work in progress parts - and welcomed an abundance of self love into your heart, body, and mind.

60 Announcement – New Episode Series

60 Announcement – New Episode Series

Here's the two announcements in this episode 1. New Episode Series Starting with the next episode, the next 8 months of content will have a theme each month. The themes are based on the 8 worksheets in the Affirmation Pod Reflection Workbook. The first episode of the month will be me talking about the worksheet and the rest of the episodes for the month will be based on the theme. We start next week with the topic of Core Beliefs! 2. New Bribe to Subscribe! Since I am updating the worksheets in the Affirmation Pod Reflection Workbook, I decided to create a new bribe to subscribe to my email list. One day, while walking my dog, I remembered something that was helpful for my transformation after my season of exhaustion.  As I was picking up dog poop, I recalled the affirmations I would have with me as I worked out on my treadmill. One of them was I Am Me by Virgina Satir. I also remembered how I would journal and create my own version of I Am Me and started thinking of making a worksheet where you could do that too. That's when New Beliefs 101 was born! It's a worksheet that walks you through a declaration of who you are NOW. It guides you to leave your old beliefs and behaviors behind, and move forward to new beliefs, new thoughts, new choices....and ultimately a new life! "We learn our belief systems as very little children, and then we move through life creating experiences to match our beliefs.

33 Actionable Tip – Mindfulness – Mindful Rights and Lefts

33 Actionable Tip – Mindfulness – Mindful Rights and Lefts

Mindfulness seems to be trending these days and perhaps it's very poignant given so much distraction temptation in our lives (Facebook, YouTube, texting, email, gaming). Today's episode describes how Mindful Rights and Lefts can help you get and stay mindful. Questions: 1. Which hand did you use to press play on this episode? 2. Which hand did you use to get toothpaste onto your toothbrush this morning? 3. Which hand did you open the fridge door with? 4. Which arm goes through a sleeve first when you put a shirt on? 5. Which foot goes in first when you take a bath or shower? 6. Which foot goes first when you walk through a door? 7. Which foot do you use when opening a step trash can? Today’s actionable tip has three levels. It’s totally up to you which level you want to take action on. Level 1 Action: Notice This is noticing with hand or foot, arm or leg you use to complete a task. Pick a day and as you go through the day, notice which side of your body you're using to complete tasks you do every day. Level 2 Action: Switch This is switching to the side of your body you don't normally use for a particular task. Level 3 Action: Assign This is picking a side where for the entire day, this will be the side that "goes first" for every task.

31 Actionable Tip – Meditation – Date to Meditate

31 Actionable Tip – Meditation – Date to Meditate

Here's a simple strategy for daily meditation! Hey it's Josie with Affirmation Pod. Here's my first actionable tip! It's called the "Date to Meditate" Meditation. It's a super easy way to get meditation in your routine. Here goes... Before you go to sleep, think of today's date. Then take that many deep, relaxing breaths. For sample, if it's the 8th of the month, take a deeeep breath, and in your mind say "8." Then take another deeeep breath, and in your mind say "7" Repeat until you get to zero. That's it!! It's your "Date to Meditate" And so tomorrow night, you will take a deeeep breath, and in your mind say "9" (or whatever the date is). And repeat until you get to zero. Sometimes you might fall asleep before you get to zero, but hey, that's okay too - we all need solid rest!

27 Affirmations – Discipline (Calling All Procrastinators)

I am disciplined. I take a task and break it down into smaller parts. I do something to take care of these smaller parts every day.

22 Affirmations – I’ve Moved On

22 Affirmations – I’ve Moved On

What a wonderful world... I've moved on. Some may not accept it or respect it but I'm not changing it. I've moved on. I'm doing things differently now. I live free and I live healthy. I've moved on. I'm making better choices and I'm connected to better people. I'm strong and at peace with the changes in my life. Sure, some days it’s harder to be strong, but I know in my heart there’s no going back. I don't owe explanations. My health and happiness are how I measure my life. Every day I am more removed from the chains that bound me. Every day I am thankful for my courage to face reality and make the changes I needed to. Every test proves my growth and maturity and how much I've moved on. The past sometimes comes knocking, but I don't have to answer. I wish them the best, but I'm not one of them. I’m creating something new here and it feels very good. I'm part of something way more fulfilling, rewarding and loving for me. I'm so grateful for what I have now and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Now I know my health is my wealth and that I need to pay attention to my needs. I used to think everyone else would get ahead of me if I didn't work as hard or as much as others. Now, I know this isn't a race. This is my life and I can choose what provides the most health and happiness for me. I used to think that validation from certain people at work would be the best thing ever. Now I know that valuing the love and support from my family and friends is the best thing ever. I also know that I can affirm myself at anytime...

16 Meditation – A Grounding Meditation

16 Meditation – A Grounding Meditation

To get centered again... I am safe. I am in my body. I am completely in my body. I am not in the past. I am not caught up in the "what ifs." I am here in the now. I am aware of where I am right now physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I know the clothes that I am wearing. I feel the sensations in my feet. I am aware of the room I'm in and my immediate surroundings. I take deep breaths, aware of my breath moving in and out. I take cleansing breaths, aware of the breath moving in and out of my body. I take grounding breaths, feeling the air come into my body and feeling tension release from my body. I feel grounded, I feel anchored, I feel rooted in my strength, my resilience and my resolve. All my focus is directed to this present moment. I behold what's here now. I channel all my thoughts, energy and emotion into now. My heart and mind flow with ease.
