Self awareness is vital to self-improvement. Your PROBLEM may be obvious to everyone but YOU. Let's face it, we ALL lie to ourselves about something.

Are you ready friend??? Ready to take complete control of your circumstances and get out of your own way? Well tap in friend! . Benefits to practicing self-awareness: .

Have you ever noticed how music has the ability to alter your mood or take you back to a specific place or time in your life? Research demonstrates that music can affect your attention, perception, emotions, cognition, behavior, and communication (Koelsch et al., 2009).  . . The British Academy of Sound Therapy conducted a study on the musical recommended daily allowance. They set out to determine if there was a recommended daily amount of music impacting various mood states and what type of music was commonly used to produce this effect. Of the 7,581 people test, they found that:

Negative self-talk robs you of happiness, makes you miserable, and can lead to depression, anxiety and/or illness.  It leads to negative filtering, which itself is considered a cognitive distortion.  We spoke about that last week.  People that filter for the negative have literally trained their brains to zero in on the bad how? With practice.  Practice makes perfect and this applies to our thinking.    . . . Unhelpful thoughts stir up negative feelings, which in turn trigger more negative thoughts, creating a negative feedback loop.  If we act on our distorted perceptions, conflict ensues that can give rise to unintended negative consequences #ViciousCycle !  As such, in this series I will provide you with various techniques, activities, and homework to do in order to learn to #MasterYourMind  with the goal of changing your life.   Check out the website re-launch coming soon! www.pagingdrteel.com  Join the Conversation  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PagingDrTeel/   IG: instagram.com/PagingDrTeel

It is important to know that what you think is what you believe and what you believe is what you become. If you hope and live in expectation for good things to happen, that is what you will see. If you hope and live in expectation for good things to happen, that is what you will see.  Conversely, if you hope and live in expectation always worrying about the bad things, that is what you will see.  This means, our reality is based on what we think and dwell on. Sometimes the way we see our problems is, in fact, the problem itself.  How we think can be a gift or a curse.  Join Dr. Teel as she unpacks cognitive distortions aka thinking errors. #CBT #Cognitvebehavioraltherapyworks #mentalhealth #holisticwellness #emotionalhealth #emotionalintelligence #healthiswealth #wellnessjourney #wellnesspodcast Money looks better in the bank than in your closet!

This week we revisit the concept of “accountability.” True accountability is fully owning everything that happens in your life. It means you understand you are responsible for your attitude, actions, reactions, teamwork, communication, and relationships. It also means you hold others accountable for the commitments and effort they give forth. Accountability lays the foundation for change and growth. Accountability is all about taking ownership of “the problem” to produce a viable solution. The very first episode of Paging Dr. Teel featured a surface level discussion on accountability. This week we revisit the topic of accountability exploring the underlying vulnerability, discomfort, and transparency required to grow. ******************************************** Get your Irish Sea Moss Gel or Ultimate Detox supplements using promo code: PagingDrTeel for 10% off and FREE shipping for orders over $50 at www.ohwellshop.com or IG @oh.wellshop

In general, assertive communication is most likely to lead to respectful and longer-term relationships, so that's the style to strive for in most situations. Assertive communicators can express their own needs, desires, ideas and feelings, while also considering the needs of others. Assertive communicators aim for both sides to win in a situation, balancing one's rights with the rights of others. Additionally, assertive communicators are often more likely to be high in emotional intelligence (EQ) which is currently a high demand soft skill in regards to employment. Research has found that on an average, people with high EQ make $29,000 more per year than people with low EQ but for obvious reasons. Emotional intelligence improves problem solving capabilities, resilience, communication & self management practices. Happy people are not only healither but they are also much easier to work with. As such, this week we are concluding our series on communication and discussing assertive vs. passive aggressive communication and exploring tips designed to help you become more assertive! ******************************************** Interested in boosting your energy, naturally detoxing, and getting radiant skin?

Managing and resolving conflict requires emotional maturity, self­control, and empathy. It can be tricky, frustrating, and even frightening. You can ensure that the process is as positive as possible by sticking to the following conflict resolution guidelines shared in this week's episode! #HappyPeopleareHealthier Check out Keys to Communication: Conflict Resolution & Passive vs. Aggressive Communication, Part 3 of 4.

To live in a harmonious pluralistic society we have to acknowledge and account for the collective duality of the human experience that is good or bad. We are either good or bad. Good or bad is a choice we can all make regardless of the divisive “isms.” There are forces in society that hold us together & pull us apart. Healing, growth, and love can be the start we all need to encourage sustainable change.

Emotional intelligence or EQ comprises intrapersonal and interpersonal skills — in particular high adjustment, sociability, sensitivity, and prudence. Thousands of scientific studies have tested the importance of EQ in various domains of life, providing compelling evidence for the benefits of higher EQ with regards to work, health, and relationships. For example, EQ is positively correlated with better leadership, job performance, job satisfaction, happiness, and well-being (both physical and emotional). EQ is negatively correlated with counterproductive work behaviors, psychopathy, and stress proclivity. Emotional intelligence allows for greater interpersonal responsiveness & decreases the likelihood of emotional reactivity. #motivation #happy #inspiration #positivepsychology #talk #interpersonalskills #emotions #wellnesswarrior #wellnesslifestyle #holisticwellness #wellnessblogger #healthtalk #healthwellness #wellnessjourney #positivity #balance #lifelessons #explorepage #emotionalhealth #inspire #holistic #wellness #anxiety #anxietyrelief #stressrelief #selfcare #mentalhealthmatters #communication

The ability to communicate information accurately, clearly and as intended, is a vital life skill and something that should not be overlooked. Communication is core to everything about the human experience. It impacts how we work with others, how well our teams function, and how we perceive ourselves. It's never too late to work on your communication skills and by doing so, you'll enjoy greater success in every area of your life. Communication is key because happy people are healthier ! Communication is a two way street. It should go in both directions.  This week's episode is one of a three part series entitled Communication 101: The things we never learned in school. Dr. Teel discusses the neuroscience of change, importance of communication & breaks down key elements of the communication process. #LetsTalk

Did you know it takes 10-15 years to develop a medication or vaccine? Speaking of which, the pharmaceutical industry spends over 149.8 billion dollars per year. Not to mention, annually we spend about 6.7 billion dollars globally on healthcare. Each year all this money is spent but public health outcomes aren't significantly improved. Yes, a major part of these outcomes are impacted by lifestyle and habits….but modern medicine isn't doing us any favors either!  When it comes to our health we've gotta take a less is more approach. Natural solutions can be safer, more effective, and an empowering way to ensure personal wellness and vitality. As such, today we are talking about the use of essential oils, positive affirmations and CBD as holistic hacks for emotional health. Your health is your wealth and that includes emotional wellness.

Did you know anxiety is one of the most common mental health labels? In fact, anxiety affects 40 million adults in the US & only 37% of people who experience anxiety receive treatment. Anxiety manifests in our thoughts, behaviors, and physiologically. As such, addressing or managing anxiety has to target these three domains. On this episode, I'll be sharing how I cured my anxiety and effective management strategies I've used with previous patients/clients.

Proximity is POWER. What you CHOOSE to have around you is ultimately what you become. Choose wisely. In the same way you'd go to a gym or hire a trainer to become more physically healthy, going to therapy can aid in you becoming more emotionally well. Research shows that participation in therapy can improve problem solving, stress management, frustration tolerance, and decision making. People who have gone to therapy report increased relationship satisfaction, the ability to set more realistic goals, and the improvement in the capability to manage strong emotional reactions/feelings.

From the working professional, to the overworked mom or the regular schmegular degular girl or guy we are all busy, focused on our goals, keeping our lives together and the lives of those we love …… But the reality is that if we don't stop to take care of ourselves we aren't any good to any…. you cannot pour from an empty cup….with these things in mind, today we are talking about self care as a super power and a means to keep racking up the wins & minimizing our losses! Today, we are talking about self-care as a secret weapon, a super power of sorts designed to keep you ready so you can stay ready!

Acceptance is defined as a person's assent to the reality of a situation, recognizing a process or condition (often a negative or uncomfortable situation) without attempting to change it or protest it... Acceptance leads to psychological flexibility and adjustment which yields YOU ALWAYS WINNING..... Are you ready to reach a new level of success and development? Are you tired of being tired ? Acceptance isn't passive problem solving.....its energy conservation which allows you to channel your focus on REAL SOLUTIONS as opposed to being distracted by non-productive thoughts and emotions!

This week we take a pause for the cause and deep dive on polarizing effects of high profile deaths as well as discussing the lessons learned from death. 

"Accountability leads to success.....Why? When people take responsibility for their actions they make changes that lead them to do things differently, to do new things, and/or to stop doing things that have held them back.... The fact of the matter is that successful people are accountable."
