Do you want better answers? Well then ask better questions! If you listened to Season 1 of Velocity Visions Inc.'s podcast you learned the importance and influence of your self-talk. You learned how to watch the language and commentary that runs through your head and how to steer it in a better direction. What people often ignore are the questions that they ask themselves in the midst of this running self-talk. If you are human, you have likely asked yourself unhelpful questions that make you feel worse when you receive the answer. Our brains are powerful. When we ask ourselves questions, our brains work hard on finding the answers. Phrasing the questions we ask ourselves in a more mindful way, will help us generate thoughts and ideas that will be more in line with what we want. So here's a question, wouldn't receiving more helpful answers that could unlock more powerful parts of you be worth 15 minutes of your time? Yes? Then please listen.

Are you saying “no” to opportunities that could be right for you? Are you avoiding saying “yes” to your betterment even though an inner voice is telling you to say “yes”?

In this episode, Ancy candidly shares where saying “yes”when she wanted to say “no” proved to have some pleasant outcomes. She also offers some journal prompts to help you realize what is getting in the way of your saying “YES” to you.

Intuition. We don't learn about it in elementary school, high school, nor in college. Intuition can be described as that inner knowing; that inner voice that nudges us to make a decision or to take an action. Many times we allow our external environment to get in the way of paying attention to our intuition. Cindy discusses a few tips on how to listen to that inner voice that can literally shift your life's trajectory in ways that are rewarding and can help you make good choices.

Whether we like it or not, other people rub off on us. We are influenced by their energy, their words, and their actions. Have you ever been around someone who makes you smile or feel good just by being in their company? Or, do you dread being around certain people because you know that they will make you feel worse ? These are examples of how other people influence our mood. What makes things even more challenging is when the company of certain people influences what actions we take that can affect our self-care or our progress and achievements. How do we maintain healthy relationships that support us without getting rid of family and friends that may not feed us the best energy? In this podcast, Ancy explains the impact on your well-being from the time spent with people in your life. She explains how forming a healthy balance in your relationships can bring out the best in you. Now that's time well spent!

Losing a loved one is difficult no matter who it is and no matter how it happens. Depending on what culture or social group you are a part of, there are social norms that are expected. What happens when you are in a pandemic that gets in the way of certain practices? How do you engage when you are hurting? How do you handle it when how you want to respond is in direct conflict with how society thinks you should grieve? Recently, Cindy lost her mother to COVID-19. Cindy shares how she is using self-care techniques during her time of grief, without compromising all of who she is and while accessing her power through it all. How do you access love, joy and fun when you are actively grieving?

Are you someone who cares about what others think of you? Even just a little? Do you adjust your behavior or your decisions based on what you perceive others might think? A big part of self-care is to make peace with the fact that other people will have opinions and feelings about you that you may not like. The raw truth is that their opinions about you are their business, not yours. This is often hard to digest, but even when we do everything with the best intentions, the best efforts, and hard work, there might still be someone who doesn't appreciate you. In this podcast, Ancy reveals how when focusing on what others think or feel about us we can end up “dimming our light”. She talks about how to shift away from our perceptions of what others think of us so it does not hold so much power over us.
