What lessons can we learn from our shadows? There is a lot to learn about ourselves when we are willing to venture into the parts of us that we have shunned, ignored, or repressed. We talk a lot about shadow work in this episode. What it is, why you should consider doing it, and how to get started.
How do you handle disappointment? Do you look for the silver linings? How do you feel? Disappointments are something we each experience daily and how we handle them can make a big impact on our future emotions.
Winter gets a lot of hate, but there is so much to love if you are willing to look deeper. Do you have a hard time slowing down and resting during winter or do you welcome the change of pace? This was a really intriguing topic and brought up so many fun analogies!
Practice makes progress. We have been discussing habits a lot lately and "practice" just fits right in there. Practicing feels more gentle than the unyielding nature of resolutions. So instead, let's make progress toward the direction we wish to take ourselves through small practices.
It's that time of year! No matter your religion or culture, the end of the year is filled with traditions. In this episode we looked at a few of our own, talked about how some traditions start, and discussed ways we can honor our peace by examining how the traditions serve us or those around us. A quick note to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us on this adventure this year! We hope you have a joyful holiday season!! ~Rachel and Megan
Another year is behind us and we are determined to look forward to the next with optimism. Do you make New Years Resolutions? Do they usually stick? In this episode, we chat about what it means to Resolve and ways that we can do things differently this year to make the changes stick.
What does support mean to you? How do you feel when asking for support? How do you show support? How can you better support yourself? So many facets to this topic that we really enjoyed discussing! Thank YOU for your support and for hanging out with us!
A very unexpected event this week left Rachel feeling a bit disoriented. After digging into that feeling a bit, it was easy to compare to how many of us must be feeling after living through this current pandemic and tumultuous time. How can we better orient our days and our lives so we aren't just wandering aimless and disoriented?
Do you forgive and forget? Or hold grudges? Our ability to forgive directly effects the control we have over our own lives. Without forgiveness, we succumb to a life of victimhood. How good are you at forgiving others? What about forgiving yourself? Turns out there are some steps you can follow to help you along the path of forgiveness...and with that forgiveness comes freedom. "Suffering is universal. But victimhood is optional." - Dr. Edith Eger
Black and white, hot and cold, happy and sad. They may be opposites, but in order to be defined as such, they have to have something in common. A fascinating topic when applied to human behavior. A look at opposites turns into a search for commonality. "The life of this world is nothing but the harmony of opposites" ~Rumi
