Welcome to the Live Less Afraid podcast, where your host Michele Jones explores what makes us happy and what we waste emotional energy on. Today I will walk you through a couple of exercises to help you discover how and why we waste energy on things beyond our control or that do not serve any purpose in our lives. I'll also share how these impact our decisions to live in joy and happiness, why we need to discover those things, and how to start doing the work to get there. Here are a few examples of ways we waste energy instead of focusing on what makes us happy and doing that. 1. Dwelling on the past: Spending too much time thinking about the mistakes we made or the things have done differently in the past can be a huge emotional drain. It's important to learn from the past but not get stuck in it. 2. Comparing ourselves to others: Constantly comparing ourselves to others can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. It's important to focus on our own journey and progress, rather than constantly looking at what others are doing. 3. Worrying about the future: While it's important to plan for the future, worrying too much about what may or may not happen can be exhausting and counterproductive. It's important to focus on the present moment and take things one step at a time. 4. Holding grudges: Holding onto grudges and negative feelings towards others can consume a lot of emotional energy and prevent us from moving forward. It's important to practice forgiveness and let go of any negativity that's weighing us down. 5. Overthinking: Overanalyzing situations and trying to anticipate every possible outcome can be mentally exhausting. It's important to trust our instincts and not get bogged down in endless analysis. By being aware of these emotional energy drains, we can work towards minimizing their impact on our lives and focusing our energy on things that truly matter. Trust that everything works out for you, work on your mindset, and shift your thoughts to things that serve us.

Here's the 5 tips: 1. Practice self-care Self-confidence and self-care are often closely linked. Move your body, get good sleep, eating well can all make you feel better about yourself. Taking time to assess your needs can help you to identify what makes you feel good about yourself. Practice mindfulness and gratitude can also help to reduce stress, and improve emotion regulation 2. Build positive relationships Those who are negative and try to bring you down can often drain your confidence. Aim to build relationships with people who appreciate you. Their positivity can help you to feel more confident. I also would encourage you to look at what you allow into your life – like negative social media, news, the kind of books you read can all impact you. 3. Work on a growth mindset Some research shows that those with a growth mindset tend to have higher self-esteem and resilience than those with a fixed mindset. 4. Challenge yourself Set yourself a challenge to help build confidence. Although it's natural to be nervous about trying new things, those with confidence will take on the challenge regardless. They also recommend setting goals, which can help with forming new behaviors, giving focus, and starting to make gradual progress. 5. Practice self-affirmations Various studies have shown the power of affirmations. Essentially, by telling yourself about your strengths and how confident you are, you can reinforce these positive thoughts. One particular study demonstrates that self-affirmations can help to maintain our self-efficacy, which is a key component of confidence. Other studies have shown that neural pathways in the brain respond when people practice self-affirmations. Some examples of positive affirmations for confidence include: I choose to believe I am confident I am confident and value myself I am confident in my abilities I let go of limiting beliefs and choose to trust myself Check Mel Robbins and her high-five habit DM me to find out more or schedule a call here Connect with me on Instagram at livelessafraid Want the FREE 10 daily habits to download?

Here's a little bit of encouragement and hope when you need to start over and how to give yourself grace and be kind to yourself and silence your inner mean girl. We need a reminder that we can always start something, or try again when something doesn't go the way you expect it. It is an opportunity to learn and accept that a failure or a mistake is just that- and not a reflection on who we are. This is how we grow and learn and change. Trust that you are where you are supposed to be today and recognize how far you've come. Look what you have built for yourself. Love yourself for the work you have done.

She wants to align and give and create and allow and make space for all. the. things. we. desire. in this life! But we have to do our part, we have to focus on those things, we have to share those dreams with people we can trust. Allow people to help you, it's how the universe works.
