The Mindful Living Podcast

Have you ever felt like you're capable of more, but something keeps holding you back? In this episode, Stephanie Robilio unpacks how unresolved trauma quietly shapes our behaviors, beliefs, and blocks our ability to step fully into our potential.

With compassion, insight, and actionable steps, this episode is your reminder that healing is possible and your best self is waiting on the other side. Here are three things you can start doing today: Start Journaling: Try this prompt: “What beliefs did I adopt to survive, and are they still serving me?” Create Micro-Safety: Each day, do one thing that affirms your safety to take up space - set a boundary, speak honestly, or rest without guilt.

Stephanie ends this episode with a prayer, feel free to use this prayer daily or as often as needed if it resonates with you: Universe, thank you for contrast. I am so grateful for contrast; I can find appreciation for the moments that don't feel good and for the experiences that I least desire because when I experience what I least desire it reveals to me what I most desire and for that I am grateful. I know everything is happening for me and I know there is always a lesson to learn. I am ready to demonstrate my ability to accept what is and to find the good even in moments of contrast. I know and I believe without dark, there is no light, with no light, there is no dark. Even in times when it seems dark is greater, I will shine my light and I will choose light, for I know light always wins. I am ready to experience what I most desire, I am ready to feel good. I will choose to do what love would do; I choose to be more like you. Thank you, Universe.

Stephanie discusses the power of thoughts and energy. She shares insight on the Law of Attraction and highlights how just because we are quarantined and practicing social distancing, the Law of Attraction hasn't stopped working. In this episode, Stephanie invites you to be deliberate with your thoughts and she provides four tips to help you stay in alignment, relieve anxiety, and overall elevate your energy: Create a word for the day or for the week. By having a word for the week, it is like a go-to when you find yourself drifting to what brings you to worry and anxiety. Maybe your word will be allow, faith, love, or patience, anything that resonates with you. If you start to fall into fear or if you begin to experience anxiety, remind yourself of your word and focus on that. Begin identifying one thing you can do daily for your mind, body, and spirit. This practice helps you stay in alignment and feel good. For example 1) mind: start the day with affirmations, 2) body: move your body, practice yoga, 3) spirit: paint, color, journal, listen to music, dance. Meditate - every morning for at least 10 minutes (work your way up to more time). Check out guided meditations on YouTube. There are tons of options. Start the morning by declaring how you will choose to feel. When you wake up and you start your morning routine, before anything, get clear on how you will feel.  For example, you could declare something like "Today I feel happy and satisfied." Declare it, own it, and then focus on only that which supports how you want to feel and in the moments you begin to fall out of alignment with how you want to feel, notice it and refocus on the feeling you declared. You can do this as many times as you need to. Stephanie also announces every Wednesday at 3pm EST, starting April 1st, she will be co-hosting free webinars with Kimberly Ibarra, author of Master Your Mind, via Zoom as a way to offer support and hold the space for you during these challenging times.

Stephanie shares one of her favorite quotes by Anais Nin: "and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was far more painful than the risk it took to blossom." She uses this quote as a prompt to invite you to look in and identify what's in the way of you blossoming into your highest potential.  In this episode, Stephanie invites you to journal about the following questions: 1. Do you feel like you're stuck in a bud where there are barriers, blocks or beliefs keeping you from blossoming? 2. If so, what are the barriers, blocks, and beliefs? Do you feel unsupported in your life? Do you struggle with time management? Are the days running you where you are having a hard time keeping up with routines and responsibilities? Are you struggling with anxiety and depression? Are you carrying weight from the past? Do you often experience negative thoughts or have beliefs such as I'm not good enough, there isn't enough time, life isn't fair. Do you feel guilty for something that has already happened? Do you struggle with the need for approval and people-pleasing? Is it difficult for you to set boundaries? Take time to explore what is holding you back and keeping you in a bud so to speak. 3. What would it mean for you to break free from the bud and begin the journey of blossoming? What behaviors would have to change? Are you surrounded by people who are raising you or lowering you? Do you raise people or lower them? 4. What would life look like once you begin to blossom? How would you feel?
