Really, Life?

We really do teach people how to treat us. I never used to get that. When it was explained to me, I saw how true it was. People will take that extra inch, push that limit because they are human and well... its just what we can do- even if we don't realize we are doing it. Allowing it adds weight to our souls, making US feel sad, angry, depressed and powerless. The key is that we have to take our power back. We have to be the one upholding our boundaries, and showing others what is ok and not ok. Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Self talk, the process, paying attention, (self honesty) and of course the WANT! With these things we can change so much! Changing others is not happening, and life will always happen so the only way to survive in peace is to change how we deal with them.Creating new thoughts, new feelings and seeing where the truth lies in our lives can help us feel better about the life we live in. Our brain can lie to ourselves because it only has information that we provide it. The past is information already provided - rewrite it! Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves that we provide our brain with false information that takes time to change - rewrite it! Here is the adorable dragonass shirt I found. Love it! It is a wonderful feeling when my true brain is working at full steam! Not on old false information, or on thoughts that are completely untrue! Protect your new thought in the beginning!! Feed it tenderly with truth and once it becomes the truth, there are new feelings, and even changes begin! Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Trying and not getting it right, or even failing does not make us failures. It means we may have to try again a few times, or adjust something - like our thinking - or it just means this particular thing is not for us. Self talk and getting reassurance from others are sure fire ways to help us keep going, follow the goal we have. Not allowing our lazy brains that likes the easier way, to keep us from doing what we want. Whether you are a person that can jump out of your box and get to it, or someone that dangles your toes first remind yourself that you got this!! You can do it, and/or learn from it. FEAR - False Evidence Appearing Real There is a book out there about this. We have not read it but it is by Brittney Carr. Affirmations are great ways to train our brains. Sticky notes, just repeating it in our minds, recalling the accomplishments and giving ourselves a damn pat on the back now and again!! :) Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Each “event” in our life, (good or cruddy) we all process different as we are all different. Each “event” in our lives can change us, or at least change the way we process life as we go along. With time the brain adjusts to certain things, but we can make it change the way WE want to with a little bit of self realization, simple thought processes, and help from friends, family, groups, therapy, and good ol' fashion faith and/or hope.Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Never does forgiveness mean that what they did was ok, or that we ever want to see them again. It means you deserve the freedom from what they did and freedom from the shackles that hold us to it. We forgive our loved ones from things they may do or say, and we do not keep reliving it. If we are, the forgiveness has not been finished and we are still shackled and a hostage to the pain of what THEY did. Love ourselves enough to learn forgiveness. Being consumed with the emotions behind what hurt us, or the want for revenge, or to stay angry and denies us the peace of forgiveness. We all are worthy of forgiveness. Remember to forgive yourself! Offer yourself the gift of a life full of potential and joy.Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Stuff happens in life, and usually when we least expect it. How we process it, is how well we will manage it. Plus, we don't know, what we don't know. We may handle something today totally different than we did yesterday. As we find our best selves and live our best lives, when life happens it may step on us but not crush us.Confrontation! OY! Yes, some people love it, some can do it easily, and for some of us it's a tremendous fear. For our own selves, if we need to do it - Just do it! Bust through that fear! Betrayal, trust and being held accountable - WOW major deep to the heart issues. What a great life if we live as someone that can be trusted, and having people we can trust. Covid. We hope you are managing with the back to normal life without fear. Being someone with social anxiety is was nice not seeing people as much or from the computer. Social anxiety is the worst! Here we are relearning self talk to getting back out there where we need to. People DO need people. Self talk into getting out instead sitting in the headspace of the fear.

Hi!! Nancy and Dee finish up on anger, and then chit chat about communicating with others. The link for the anger workbook is in the links section below. Communication comes in so many forms, created in as many ways as there are people, and we all need it. To share our needs, and to help others with theirs. From those we love, to boring lectures, to those we are not pleased with we need to communicate. There is so much we can learn from one another. There is a link below for some easy reading on communication. Not feeling very communicative this week, so have a listen and let us know what you think - feel - or need. :) Blessings~Instagram reallylifepodcast Facebook Really, Life?

Anger! Dee was in the midst of anger during this episode. Perfect timing right? The process of dealing with anger and the situation can take moments to days. When we want to learn and handle it the right way is important. Not just for others but for ourselves too! It helped her so much sharing with all of you then her son posted something on social media that sparked an ah ha! moment for her. Awesome!We hope this episode has helped you!

Having boundaries and adhering to them is self care and love. Many people may not say it but they will respect you for having and protecting your boundaries. When we love and respect ourselves, it is easier for others to do the same for us.Jody Moore from Better Than Happy does a great episode on boundaries on her podcast. Here is a link to her webpage. https://jodymoore.com/ We hope that if your life situation is that of abuse - of any kind- that you seek help somewhere. It is very difficult to learn the process of boundaries in these situations and the extra help will guide you to a place that you can live with easier.

Sooooooo, I was triggered by this episode. When we are sharing with you all, I can get it out, keep the emotions low, and the impact small. Wanting to share the beginning and then the growth keeps me going but afterwards sometimes I feel the aftermath of it all. That is why this episode is late today. LOL I just did not want to edit it, hear it again or feeeeeel it all again for a day. It was only a couple hours of processing, and seeing some great women, and some self assurance talk to get me back to me but it still sucked. We are so grateful for being women that have learned, had good people, a program of life, and each other to be the people we want to be. We want to share it with you. YOU can do it, and it reminds us of how far we have come. Our moments of discomfort are so worth it if it means you will be able to have some hope, and know someone that gets it all.

Personal boundaries are the limits and rules we set for ourselves within relationships. A person with healthy boundaries can say no to others when they want to, but they are also comfortable opeing themselves up to intimacy and close relationships. Personal boundaries are the physical, emotional, and mental limits we establish to protect ourselves from being manipulated, used, or violated by others. To set boundaries mean to preserve our integrity, take responsibility for who we are, and to take control of our life.

Compromise is not about giving in, it's about caring enough about the relationship to change a little. Never compromising self or morals, just the things that we are able to change for the better of our love and the relationship.

What is weighing you down and should you even be carrying it?We discuss some of the ways we look to life and inside ourselves to find our balance. Balance can also be having a peaceful mind, or feeling centered. Sometimes learning what is in our control and what isn’t can help us feel better. Letting go of people, places and things that do not serve us, and that we can do nothing about. Then, there are the things we need to get done. We may not want to do them, but doing so relieves us of their weight.

We know balance is an enormous topic. It is needed our whole life, or at least we want to achieve it to survive with sanity. As a teen, and as an adult our lives need a little balancing. When we have inner balance, a sense of who we are, the "things" outside of us fall into place easier. We are taught, and learn many ways of coping along the way. We decide and begin to know what balances our scale. We choose our beliefs, the people we want, our careers, family life, our style. As our inner balance stays more level and light, so does our lives. For apple podcasts or itunes find us - Really, life?

Bullies are young and old. They can be found in any social environment. Staying calm, staying away, and consequences for bullies are key in dealing with them. Sharing our struggles with others is very important for ourselves. They are not easy to live with.We want to just go about our days living life, and doing our thing. The last, the very last thing is having to deal with a bully. It is even more troubling when we are just not the type of person that is even capable of dealing with such a interference in our lives. When I went through my own bullying and hazing at work, it was slowly wearing on daily resolve, confidence and even my life in general. I was depressed already and already going through such a sad time and their bullying just made me worse. There is a great link I found for bullying information. (I have included it below.) I hope that if you or someone you know is in such a situation, there are people you can turn to, and can find the strength you need to find peace in your days!Blessings~You can listen to us on itunes and spotify, Instagram @ reallylifepodcast, follow us on fb @ Really, Life? and you can email us @ 20reallylife20@gmail.comDon't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.
