Podcasts about congratulate

Career setbacks happen to everyone, but how you respond to them determines your professional trajectory and future opportunities. • The "tube top" comment highlights the importance of getting honest feedback after a rejection• One word in an interview (describing a workplace as "hostile") can sink your chances if the interviewer takes issue with it• Remember interviews are two-way conversations - you're also deciding if you want to work there• Always be kind to gatekeepers (receptionists, assistants) as they can significantly influence hiring decisions• Give yourself limited time (maybe 30 minutes) to feel disappointed, then refocus on moving forward• The rearview mirror is small and the windshield is large for a reason - look ahead more than behind• Building internal networks before positions open strengthens your candidacy when opportunities arise• "Emotional resonance" with colleagues often matters more than qualifications when candidates are similar• Congratulate the person who got the job you wanted - it shows maturity and teamwork• Repeated rejections may indicate blind spots you can't see - seek honest feedback from trusted leaders• Everyone successful has faced rejection - persistence and continuous improvement lead to eventual successThank you for listening!

World leaders are reacting to Donald Trump's return to the White House – inaugurated as the 47th U-S president on Monday. With promised international tariffs and taxes looming, and several ongoing wars, messages of congratulations all urge good relations with the notoriously mercurial leader.

Congratulations! You did it! You made it through Christmas and New Year's! I highly doubt any bereaved person has ever had these words said to them, but today, I say them to all of you. It is tough to be a grieving person during the holidays. It is difficult to see smiling, happy faces that seem to surround you everywhere you go. It can be challenging to spend time with whole families when your own feels utterly broken, but you did it. I really loved this week's podcast with Gwen. When she suggested this topic, I have to admit, I was a little hesitant. I had made it through the holidays. I wasn't sure I really wanted to go back and do a recap, but it turns out, it was very healing to revisit how things went over the past month. I certainly remembered the challenges, but this podcast helped me think about my successes as well. This was our 6th holiday season without Andy, and each one has been unique. We were home for Christmas for the first time and did far more of our 'normal' Christmas traditions. This year, attending church was far more difficult than other Christmases have been. The present opening part of Christmas, on the other hand, was probably the most fun one yet with far more smiles than tears. Talking with Gwen on the podcast this week helped me realize that I can feel a bit of pride for everything that I was able to do, even if sometimes I still shook with sobs. Tears are not signs of failure; they are a healthy emotional release. As you listen to the podcast this week, I invite you to look back on your own holiday season. You may have done all of your normal family traditions. You may have done none of your normal family traditions. You may have been at home with a few people. You may have attended big family gatherings. It doesn't really matter how you spent your time - you made it through. You are still breathing. You are still getting out of bed in the morning. Congratulate yourself. Celebrate. Take a deep breath. You deserve it.

In this episode, we sprint into the life of Jodie Williams, a 3x Olympian from Great Britain, beginning with her early days as an unstoppable young athlete. Jodie recalls her first taste of victory, winning races at school sports days and even being pitted against older boys in a heptathlon when “no one could beat me.” That moment fueled a drive that would guide her to track and field, where she quickly became a standout. That said, her journey to the Olympics wasn't without setbacks. She reflects on the heartbreak of missing the London Olympics due to a torn hamstring and feeling overwhelmed in her first Olympic experience in Rio. But by Tokyo, she had found a new mindset: “I just looked up... there was no crowd, but I felt at peace. I thought, 'Wow, I've done it.'” Jodie opens up about the highs and lows of pursuing her dream, describing how fear has been ever-present: “Fear is a huge part of it… if you're dreaming that big, there's going to be a lot of fear involved. That's part of the journey.” Learning to manage her inner dialogue, she says, has been essential, as she's worked to “make friends” with her inner critic and celebrate each small victory. Jodie shares how wherever you are in your journey, she wants you to stop to congratulate yourself today. "Say, 'Good job for getting out of bed, for getting dressed,' because sometimes, that's the biggest achievement of the day." Beyond her athletic career, Jodie founded the Listen Journal, a platform for women to share their stories authentically. She's also found a passion for coffee, seeing it as a way to build community and raise awareness around its history. --------------- Flame Bearers is a multi-platform media movement illuminating the stories of our world's best women athletes. We tell stories via video, podcast, and live events, centering her story in her words.

Building Blocks to Success in the Ring and the Whelping Box Host Laura Reeves is joined by breeder-handler Christian Rutten in part two of a wide-ranging conversation touching on some of the critical building blocks to success in both the show ring and the whelping box. On Owner Handler vs Professional Handler [caption id="attachment_13028" align="alignleft" width="358"] We all started somewhere. Christian reminds us we are all at a dog show for the same reason. To win and to have fun with our dogs.[/caption] “One of the things people say is ‘I just went to a dog show for 10 straight shows and I didn't get any ribbons. And that it's all political. And the handlers have the upper edge.' I did the math because I was at a big string of shows and I walked in the ring 28 times and won two majors. This (other person) didn't go into the ring 28 times in the year and she didn't win any majors. So (handlers) have the opportunity to present a lot more dogs. So, although it looks like we're receiving a lot more ribbons, but we're also going to a lot more shows. On Selecting Judges “There are judges who I've taken a barrage of type and styles to over a multitude of times, and I can never get past them. And that's fine. I just don't necessarily want to ever exhibit under them again. And there's other judges who are consistent as all get out. And you'll say, well, they're judging in North Carolina today and you look at their results and they put up litter mate to what you showed to them the week before that went winner's bitch. And so I think finding that kind of balance of knowing what those judges are going to put up, if you can bring that to them every time, they're going to love it. “For me, there's probably 20 people that I really seek out to show what I think are the best of what I have. The rest of them are just there and just kind of doing their thing, right? I don't want people to get burned out on the fact that maybe they're not winning, maybe they shouldn't, right? That's fine. But maybe they're mentor says this is a great one. And what's holding you back is your ability and the judges you're exhibiting to. And once you figure that out and you find the right judges who appreciate that style, you've got the golden ticket. It's a fine line between understanding that not everybody who's putting the finger are experts. You need to become an expert yourself first and do this for yourself. And then from there, that's when the success comes. “I think that people, they want The Polar Express ticket to dreamland instead of just take the train and enjoy the view and the destination is worth it once you get there. On Dog Show Basics [caption id="attachment_13029" align="alignright" width="528"] Christian brings basic husbandry and manners to the forefront of the conversation.[/caption] “First one is you never leave a dog on a table unattended. Seems like a very simple thing to a lot of us, but some people are never taught that. The second thing is don't leave dogs in ex pens unattended. You're asking for a disaster to happen. I see this from owner handlers to breeders to professional handlers. “The other thing is, and this is a big one for me, and I kind of thought it was standard and I'm seeing it less and less. Congratulate the winners. I have probably walked into, I couldn't tell you, thousands of rings from juniors as an owner handler, as a breeder owner handler, as a professional handler. I could maybe count on one hand the amount of times I didn't say congratulations. If you're in a full group, whether it's the owner handler group, or the regular group, you don't have to shake everybody's hand, all you got to do is walk up to the winner and say Congratulations."

Your life will constantly change and so will you. You're not meant to stay the same. In your life, you'll continue to evolve to your next version. This episode talks about being unapologetically YOU.   I was so thrilled to get feedback from a fellow Strider. One of our listeners sent me a message about a realization they had around how they're living life and showing up for themselves. Thinking about it now, their message really warmed my heart since I could feel the care they spent in taking their Wise Walks and trying to figure out their True Stride.   I'm here to spend quality solo time with you for EP192's Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. This fellow Strider was inspired to be true to himself. All the way to the point of changing his mind. For example, he changed his Word for the Year. I thought we could all learn to be more unapologetic in our pursuit of our highest alignment.   On our Wise Walk, we discuss being unapologetically YOU. There are times where a change may seem intimidating, but the freedom on the other side of it is so worth it. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:   Are you noticing shifts in yourself and your life where you are being yourself? Are you noticing who and what supports you while being authentically you? Is anything creating resistance to your evolution as a person? Are you bold enough to embrace changes in your life? How does pursuing your authentic self make you feel?   Once you get a taste of stepping into your own power, you'll always want to stay true to yourself. It's important to have your own back!   Congratulate yourself on living unapologetically. Feel your way back to your true self with these Wise Walk questions:   Where do you currently find yourself apologizing for being you? Where can you release outside expectations and choose yourself unapologetically? Is there a new path that you can more authentically share? What will help you to continue to hone that skill? Where in life will you stop apologizing for choices that feel aligned for you?   Join this inspiring community to uncover a new sense of freedom, and be sure to follow and review the True Stride podcast as we continue to exchange our light and Heart Value with each other.   In this episode: [00:23] - Welcome to the show! [01:41] - How does pursuing your authentic self make you feel? [02:39] - The road of evolving for your authentic self is not always smooth. Are you ready? [05:15] - People can't hold you back unless you let them. [08:14] - Who is supportive or judgmental? [10:35] - Let go of the old idea of yourself.

The subject of single motherhood is a very sensitive one to navigate. Normal Christians often feel a sense of unease when deciding how to handle the news that an unwed loved one or a friend is pregnant. They know what has happened to produce the baby was sinful but are conflicted because the Bible also calls children a blessing. Furthermore, calling immorality out is considered a worse sin than committing immorality by our current worldly standards. Especially when that immorality is committed by a woman. In this episode of the Bible Bashed Podcast, we will discuss the intricacies of this taboo subject, how Christians should view this type of situation and how they should handle it. ▶ Splash Page: https://i.mtr.bio/biblebashed ▶ Main Episode's playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtY_5efowCOk74PtUhCCkvuHlif5K09v9 ▶ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BibleBashed ▶ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BibleBashed ▶ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BibleBashed --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebashed/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblebashed/support

Let's get into some goal-setting on today's podcast.  Refer to our best-selling book, Harris Rules, and Premier Coaching to drill down on your specific goals.  Your Real Estate Treasure Map also includes a more in-depth dive into goal setting, so don't wait to get that! A Goal is a Dream with an Action Plan. Goals must be 'SMART': Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.  We'll take a look at some examples in a moment.  First, write down the five areas of life to set and achieve goals:  Family, Financial, Physical, Mental/Spiritual, Educational. Note: Don't strive for perfect balance in the five areas.  Naturally, you'll have big goals in some areas, and micro goals in others.  Your goals will be upgraded as you achieve them. Let's take a deep dive into the most obvious one for most people: FINANCIAL. Most agents say: "I want to / need to save more money." As stated, this is simply a dream.  To turn it into a goal, let's apply the 'SMART' rules, so it can become a GOAL.  Here are the questions to ask yourself (a great coach can help you with this!) (We'll ask the questions and then show you an example plan) 1.   Be specific and measurable about your financial goal.  How much money?  Why that much?  What's that amount based on?  A reserve fund of 6 months, or a downpayment for your next house? 2.   Make your goal attainable.  Is that amount possible?  How many transactions would it take to get there, based on your average net commission?  How does that compare to your averages currently? 3.   Make your goal realistic.  How realistic is your goal? Is it 2x what you know you can do, or 100x that goal? Should you make your goal more incremental so it's more realistic?  4.   Make your goal timely.  By when will you accomplish your goal? 5.   Formulate your plan. What has to happen for you to achieve the goal?  What skills must you obtain or upgrade to be successful? If you're not sure, it's probably time to get some help through Premier Coaching. 6.   Write down the plan. Share it with your coach.   7.   Create a daily schedule that reflects your goals and the actions necessary to achieve them. That's what we cover in Premier Coaching.

S2 EA How to Manage your GM“Dude, I am so sorry you gotta work for that guy. He is the worst.”“It's not that bad. Actually, we get along really well, and he's the first boss who's ever actually listened to my suggestions.”I think we have all found ourselves at one time or another dealing with a boss or manager that for some reason things just didn't click. We will often blame them and fail to see that it takes two to tango.When you dig into it, usually the issues are combinations of personalities, motivations, communication styles, and sometimes luck.Now we roleplay for fun, so we never find ourselves sitting down at a gaming table and quickly realizing that for some reason we just aren't working well with the GM?Sorry, I should have given you the sarcasm alert.We have all found ourselves at a gaming table where we struggled getting along with other players and occasionally the GM. I have found this is especially likely when we are already friends with the GM.Learning how to manage your game master is a critical skill for good gaming tables and it's not nearly as difficult as you might think. Practicing good communication skills and a few of these simple tricks can go a long way to greatly improving your game sessions.Christina, have you ever had to manage one of your GMs?Points:Show up ready to play (be on time, have equipment {pen, paper, dice, character sheet})Know the basic rules (you don't have to know them all, just the basics like dice mechanics)Know the rules that apply to your character (very important in crunchy games)Introduce yourself to other players, Don't make the GM do all the social work.Let the Good Job's flow. Congratulate other players and the GM on good ideas and challengesDon't be sneaky. (Explain your complicated plan to the GM including the overall goals)Don't argue at the table. (Never argue at the table. Argue after the game session in private)Support the GM Decisions and encourage the other players to support the decisions as well.Take Notes!Remember Rule 0 (The GM has final say)Help the GM look up rules, but don't read them out loud, use page numbers.Pay attention to how the GM communicates. Don't interrupt a speech!Provide feedback (remember constructive criticism, always end on a positive)Share the costs (books, snacks, software, etc)

If you need a mental health plan for 2024, you are in the right place. This is a two-part series where we will do a full recovery audit. And then next week, we're going to take a look at the key tools that you need for Your Anxiety Toolkit. We call it an anxiety toolkit here, so that's exactly what you're here to get. The first step of this mental health plan for 2024 is to look at what is working and what isn't working and do an inventory of the things that you're doing, the safety behaviors, the behaviors you're engaging in, and all the actions that you're engaging in that are getting in the way of your recovery. Now what we want to do here is, once we identify them, we can break the cycle. And then we can actually start to have you act and respond in a very effective way so that you can get back to your life and start doing the things that you really, really wanted to do in 2023 but didn't get to. If you're listening to this in many years to come, same thing. Every year, we have an opportunity to do an audit—maybe even every month—to look at what's working and what's not. Let's do it. Now, one thing I want you to also know here is this is mostly an episode for myself. A couple of weeks ago, I was not coping well. I consider myself as someone who has all the skills and all the tools, and I know what to do, and I'm usually very, very skilled at doing it. However, I was noticing that I was engaging in some behaviors that were very ineffective, that had not the best outcomes, and were creating more suffering for myself.  Doing what I do, being an anxiety specialist, and knowing what I know as a therapist, I sat down and I just wrote it all out. What am I engaging in? What's the problem? Where am I getting stuck? And from there, naturally, I did a mental health audit. And I thought, to be honest with you, you guys probably need such a thing as well, so let's do it together. Here is what I did. Let's get started with this mental health audit that we're going to do today.  FOUR RECOVERY AUDIT CATEGORIES  General Perspective  Safety Behaviors  Safety  Mindset  What we're going to do is we're going to break it down into four main categories. The first category is your general perspective of your mental health, your recovery, and your internal emotional experience.  The second category is the safety behaviors you're engaging in. A safety behavior is a behavior that you do to reduce or remove your discomfort, to get a sense of safety, or to get a sense of control. Sometimes they're effective, sometimes they're not, and we're going to go through that today.  The third category is actually just safety—looking at how safe you are inside your body with your internal experience. And I'll explain a lot more of that here in a little bit, so let's just move on to section number four, which is mindset. What is your mindset about recovery? And we're going to go through this together.  LET'S PROMISE TO DO THIS KINDLY  As we move forward, I want you to promise me and vow to me as we do this. We are only doing it through the lens of being curious and non-judgmental. This audit should not be a disciplinary action where you wrap yourself over the knuckles and you beat yourself up, and you just criticize yourself for the fact that you're not coping well. That is not what we're doing here. WE ARE JUST GATHERING DATA We are ultimately just taking data. We're just looking at the data of what's working and what's not. And then we get to decide what we do differently. And we get to be honest with ourselves about what's actually happening from a place of compassion, from a place of understanding, knowing that we're doing the best we can with what we've got. Again, I could beat myself up and be like, “You're a therapist. You do this for a living. What is wrong with you?” But instead, I just recognize. Of course, you fell off the wagon. Things don't always work out perfectly when you're under a high amount of stress or when it's the holidays, when things feel out of your control. We naturally gravitate to safety behaviors that often aren't the most effective. That's just the facts.  BE NON-JUDGMENTAL Let's do this from a non-judgmental standpoint. We are literally just gathering data. How we handle this is a big part of recovery. Okay? Let's do it.  YOUR RECOVERY AUDIT  Let's first look at the first section of your recovery audit. This is a general category. We're going to ask some questions. You can get a pen and notepad, or you could just listen and think about this, pause it, take some stock of what's been going on for you. But I do strongly encourage you to pause, sit down, write your answers on a piece of paper, on a Google Doc, or whatever you love to do. All right, here we go.  GENERAL   Number one, generally, how much of the day do you experience anxiety, hopelessness, or some kind of emotional distress, whatever it is that you experience? You could give a percentage, a grade, or an amount of hours. How much of the day do you experience emotions that are out of your control? We're only here to get data on how much this thing is impacting your life. You might say all day, every day. That's okay. You might say, “A couple of hours every day that I experience panic,” or “A couple of hours every day I'm having intrusive thoughts.” It doesn't matter; just put it down. If you're someone who has more depressive symptoms, you might say, “For six hours of the day, I experience pretty severe depression.” Whatever you're experiencing, you can write it down.  The second question in this category is, what are your thoughts about the emotional distress that you just documented? What are your thoughts about them? If you have anxiety, are your thoughts “I shouldn't have anxiety”? Because what we gather there is if for, let's say, two hours a day, you're having anxiety, but for four hours a day, you're saying, “I shouldn't have it. I'm bad for having it. What's wrong with me? Something is wrong. I'm terrible,” and so forth, we want to understand, what are the specific thoughts you're having about the emotional distress?  If you have OCD and you're having a lot of intrusive thoughts, what are your thoughts about that? “Oh, my thoughts make me a bad person. Oh, my intrusive thoughts mean I must want to do the thing that I'm having thoughts about.” If you're having depression, what are your thoughts about that? “Oh, I'll never get better, that I'm weak for having this struggle, that I should be able to handle it better. I should be able to get out of bed and function normally.” We want to really understand your general mindset and perspective of what you're going through.  Often, we spend a lot of time thinking about why we have the problem. Why do I have this? What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong? Why is this happening? Was it my past? Was it something that happened to me? Spending a lot of time trying to figure out why. That's the general category.  SAFETY BEHAVIORS The second category, safety behaviors, is probably one of the most important, but there is a good chance I'm going to say that about every category, so let's just go through them.  The first question in safety behaviors is, how much of the day do you spend ruminating, thinking, going over and over the problem, trying to solve it? How many minutes, how many hours, or what percent of the day do you spend ruminating?  We've already identified how much of the day you spend with the original, initial problem. But how much of the time do you actually spend engaging in the behavior of mental compulsions, mental rumination, sort of that real stressful solving practice? Write it down. Again, we're not judging here. Even if you wrote 100% of the day, all day, every day for a year or 10 years, it doesn't matter, okay?  The next question in safety behaviors is, if you zoomed out and looked at your entire life, what is it that you are avoiding because of this internal emotional experience, whether it be anxiety, uncertainty, depression, grief, whatever it might be, panic? Whatever it is, what is it specifically that you're avoiding?  Some people say, “I'm avoiding a certain street. I'm avoiding a certain person. I'm avoiding a certain event. I'm avoiding an emotion. I'm avoiding a feeling. I'm avoiding a thought. I'm avoiding a specific book on a specific bookshelf. I'm avoiding a specific movie on the internet or on TV. I'm avoiding a specific topic in every area of my life.” Be as specific as you can. What is it that you are avoiding to try and reduce or remove your distress inside your body? Document all of it.  I tell my patients, it doesn't matter if this takes 17 pages; just document it down. Don't judge yourself. Once we have the data, we can next week meet and work on a solution here. Or as you go through this, if you've already clearly identified that you have, let's say, OCD, generalized anxiety, panic, or depression, we have specific courses on CBTSchool.com that will walk you through these and give you specific solutions to specific problems. That is there for you as well.  We will next week go through the main tools you're going to need. But if you really want to target a specific issue, we may have a course specifically in that area that will help you. If not, there are other areas where you can get resources and therapy as well. But this is going to help you get really clear on what specifically is going on for you. What is it that you're engaging in that's getting in the way? The next safety behavior category is, how do you carry your body throughout the day? Are you hypervigilant? Are you tense? Are you rushing around? That was me. That's when I was like, “Oh, Kimberley, you are going down the wrong channel.” Because I noticed in many areas of my day, I was rushing, trying to avoid some emotions, trying to check boxes, rushing around, hypervigilant, looking around, what bad thing is going to happen next. How are you carrying this in your body?  If you had an eating disorder, it might be, “I'm tensing my stomach and pulling it in and trying to not eat and trying to suppress hunger and thirst.” If that's happening, okay, let's document. If you're having panic, are you squinting, pushing away thoughts, trying to avoid a sensation in your body? We want to get to know what is happening with our bodies. A patient of mine a couple of weeks ago said, “I just hold my breath all day. I really do. I probably take half the breath that someone without anxiety takes.” Write it down if you notice that's what you're doing in your body. Again, not your fault; we're just here to look at the data.  The next category of safety behaviors is, how often do you seek reassurance per day? How often do you consult with Google to reduce your anxiety? How often do you ask family and friends questions about your fear to get a sense of certainty or to reduce your anxiety?  Sometimes this can be tricky. You might even just mention a topic to notice their facial expression to see how they respond, or you might report to them something that happened to see if they're alarmed so that you then know whether you should be alarmed and engage in some behavior, worrying, ruminating, and so forth.  How often are you trying to get to the bottom of anxiety and you're noticing that it's repetitive, and over and over again, you're getting stuck in these rabbit holes of Googling or asking friends and families, often asking them questions they don't even know the answer to?  Often, our family members, because they love us, will give us an answer based on probability, but they actually don't know. And therefore, your brain-- you're very smart. I know this because all my clients with anxiety often in depression are. You're very smart. You know they don't know the answer, so your brain doesn't compute it as a real certainty anyway. Your brain is going to immediately go, “Well, how do they know? They probably don't know any better than I do,” and it's going to want more and more questions to be asked. How often do you seek reassurance per day, or how much of the day do you spend seeking reassurance?  And then the last safety behavior here is physical behaviors. This is more common for folks with OCD, phobias, or health anxiety. What physical behaviors do you engage in? Meaning, do you rearrange things? Do you move things? Do you check things? Do you turn things on and off? Lock doors, unlock doors, lock them again. How much are you engaging in physical behaviors to reduce your anxiety?  Again, I will also say this is very true for generalized anxiety. Often, people with generalized anxiety disorder spend a lot of time just engaging in this high-level functioning of checking boxes, getting things done, always being the busiest person in the room. And while yes, that does get rewarded by our society because, “Oh, look at them go, they're getting all the things done,” they're doing it to avoid or remove discomfort or uncertainty. So we want to get a thorough documentation of all of those things. Again, do not beat yourself up if it's a long list. Those will help us next week when we talk about tools.  KINDNESS AND SAFETY  We move on now to the third category, which is kindness and safety. And now we're talking about how do you respond to yourself and your experience of anxiety. We also talked about this through the lens of safety. Safety is when you're feeling uncomfortable, you're having an emotion such as anxiety, grief, sadness, dread, anger. When you have those emotions, is your brain and body a safe place to allow those emotions to exist, or is it an unsafe place in that you push it away, judge yourself, tell it shouldn't be there, rid it out, get rid of it, banish it, avoid it, abandon it, all the things?  Question #1: How do you treat yourself throughout the day? Out of 10, how kind are you to yourself? Really think about it. How do you treat yourself?  If you thought objectively about yourself as a friend, would you want yourself as a friend around? Probably not. Maybe you've been listening to Your Anxiety Toolkit for some time and you've already really developed these skills, but really, really honestly, how kind are you to yourself? If you were another friend, would you invite yourself over? Probably not because you wouldn't invite a friend over who's like, “What is wrong with you? You're crazy. You shouldn't be doing that. You're so silly. Why are you spending all this time? You're lazy. You're dumb. You're stupid for asking these questions.” So really think about that.  The second question is, do you punish yourself for having these emotional struggles? And if so, how? Do you blame yourself? Do you shame yourself? Do you engage in a lot of guilt behavior, guilting yourself for these behaviors? Do you withhold pleasure from yourself?  I've had so many clients tell me that they will not allow themselves to have the nice toilet paper, and they get themselves the scratchy, one-ply toilet paper because of their intrusive thoughts or because they're depressed and they don't check the boxes that their friends on Instagram have checked. Therefore, they don't deserve the nice shampoo, or they don't deserve nice sheets, or they don't deserve to rest. They basically punish themselves for their emotional struggles, and we don't want to do that.  I know you know this already, but we want to know specifically. Do an inventory. Give yourself some days here to really do a thorough audit of what's going on in your life. You might find that you don't eat or you eat foods that aren't delicious. One thing in my eating disorder recovery was, let's really try to eat foods that are genuinely delicious. And if it's not delicious, don't eat it. Well, of course, if you need to eat and you need to function and you don't have great options, that's fine. Just eat for the sake of nourishment. But if you're at a restaurant, eat the thing that's delicious. Are you engaging in not allowing yourself to have those pleasurable things? The last question in the area of kindness and safety is, what specifically do you say to yourself when things get hard? What specifically do you say to yourself?  Often, people say, “No, I'm really kind to myself. I'm really good. I work out.” But then, when things get hard, everything goes down the drain. They start beating themselves up. When they don't win at work or they don't get a good grade or when they're having a bad anxiety or depression day, that's when they start beating themselves up. What do you say to yourself specifically when things get hard or when things get painful? Write it down.  MINDSET All right. We're moving into the last section, which is mindset, because remember, we're looking at 2024. We're looking at the next six months, three months, or one month, and we're really looking at how can we supercharge your recovery.  Here's the question: How willing are you to experience these emotional struggles in your body? Out of 10, how willing are you?  Most of my patients report like a four, five, and a six, which is still great. I'm happy with that. It's better than one, two, and three. And if you're at a one, two, and three, it's okay. We can start somewhere. Okay? What I'm looking for when I'm with my patients or when I'm with myself is a solid eight, nine, and 10 of willingness.  Of all the things that I push the most, how willing are you to actually have your emotional discomfort? Often, people are like, “I don't want it. I'm in too much pain. I've had too much pain, Kimberley. Don't even ask me to. You don't even understand. I've been in pain for years,” and I get it. What we do resist persists. So we want to first ask ourselves, how willing are we to allow this discomfort to be in our body, this emotion to be in our body, or this thought to be present in our awareness?  The last question here is, when you wake up, what is your mindset about tackling the day? Do you wake up and go, “Oh no, God, I don't want this,” or do you wake up and go, “No, no, no, no. Please, no anxiety today. Please, no thoughts today. Please, no depression today. Please, let this be a good day,” or do you wake up and say, “This will be a bad day”? Just take note of it. You're not wrong for any of them, but we want to get a little bit of a temperature check on how you start the day.  Now, one thing to know, often these thoughts are automatic. You don't have control of them. Again, I'm not here to say they're wrong, but what we will talk about next week is ways in which you can change how you respond to some of those automatic negative thoughts, or even your intrusive thoughts, and really look at how we can create a mindset for you.  Let me give you just a quick rundown before we move forward.  Number one, we will be doing tools next week, and I'll be going deep into that. And that will be the focus of mine for 2024. My biggest focus for 2024 is really doubling down on making sure you guys know what the tools are in your toolkit and which ones work for you, and you get to work from that.  Then I'm actually recording another podcast with Chris Trondsen, where we talk about common mindset roadblocks when it comes to recovery, and we will be giving you strategies there as well. Stick around for that. If you are listening to playbacks here, make sure you listen to all three episodes of this, because I think it will be so important now that you've done an inventory and you know what's going on.  All right. That's that. That is your mental health audit. Write it all down. Give yourself plenty of love. Congratulate and celebrate the fact that you did this hard thing, and I will see you next week to talk about the tools you need—the specific tools in your anxiety toolbelt—to help you go and live a life where anxiety is not in charge, not in the driver's seat, and where you live according to your values, what is important to you. Anxiety and emotions do not get to make your decisions, and that's my goal for you.  Have a great day. As always, I always say it's a beautiful day to do hard things. You did a hard thing today. Thank you for sticking with me. This is not fun work. I get it. But it is important work, and you do deserve to get this really out on paper so that we can get you going in the direction that you want to go.  As always too, take what you need, leave the rest. If some of these questions don't really fly for you or they're very triggering, just do the best you can. I don't ever want people to feel like what I'm saying is the rule and you have to do it.  Take what you need. Leave the rest, and I'll see you next week. Have a good one, everyone.

f you need a mental health plan for 2024, you are in the right place. This is a two-part series where we will do a full recovery audit. And then next week, we're going to take a look at the key tools that you need for Your Anxiety Toolkit. We call it an anxiety toolkit here, so that's exactly what you're here to get. The first step of this mental health plan for 2024 is to look at what is working and what isn't working and do an inventory of the things that you're doing, the safety behaviors, the behaviors you're engaging in, and all the actions that you're engaging in that are getting in the way of your recovery. Now what we want to do here is, once we identify them, we can break the cycle. And then we can actually start to have you act and respond in a very effective way so that you can get back to your life and start doing the things that you really, really wanted to do in 2023 but didn't get to. If you're listening to this in many years to come, same thing. Every year, we have an opportunity to do an audit—maybe even every month—to look at what's working and what's not. Let's do it.

And I thought, to be honest with you, you guys probably need such a thing as well, so let's do it together. Here is what I did. Let's get started with this mental health audit that we're going to do today.  FOUR RECOVERY AUDIT CATEGORIES  General Perspective  Safety Behaviors  Safety  Mindset  What we're going to do is we're going to break it down into four main categories. The first category is your general perspective of your mental health, your recovery, and your internal emotional experience.  The second category is the safety behaviors you're engaging in. A safety behavior is a behavior that you do to reduce or remove your discomfort, to get a sense of safety, or to get a sense of control. Sometimes they're effective, sometimes they're not, and we're going to go through that today.  The third category is actually just safety—looking at how safe you are inside your body with your internal experience. And I'll explain a lot more of that here in a little bit, so let's just move on to section number four, which is mindset. What is your mindset about recovery? And we're going to go through this together.  LET'S PROMISE TO DO THIS KINDLY  As we move forward, I want you to promise me and vow to me as we do this. We are only doing it through the lens of being curious and non-judgmental. This audit should not be a disciplinary action where you wrap yourself over the knuckles and you beat yourself up, and you just criticize yourself for the fact that you're not coping well.

We naturally gravitate to safety behaviors that often aren't the most effective. That's just the facts.  BE NON-JUDGMENTAL Let's do this from a non-judgmental standpoint. We are literally just gathering data. How we handle this is a big part of recovery. Okay? Let's do it.  YOUR RECOVERY AUDIT  Let's first look at the first section of your recovery audit. This is a general category. We're going to ask some questions. You can get a pen and notepad, or you could just listen and think about this, pause it, take some stock of what's been going on for you. But I do strongly encourage you to pause, sit down, write your answers on a piece of paper, on a Google Doc, or whatever you love to do. All right, here we go.  GENERAL   Number one, generally, how much of the day do you experience anxiety, hopelessness, or some kind of emotional distress, whatever it is that you experience?

Why do I have this? What's wrong with me? What did I do wrong? Why is this happening? Was it my past? Was it something that happened to me? Spending a lot of time trying to figure out why. That's the general category.  SAFETY BEHAVIORS The second category, safety behaviors, is probably one of the most important, but there is a good chance I'm going to say that about every category, so let's just go through them.  The first question in safety behaviors is, how much of the day do you spend ruminating, thinking, going over and over the problem, trying to solve it? How many minutes, how many hours, or what percent of the day do you spend ruminating?  We've already identified how much of the day you spend with the original, initial problem. But how much of the time do you actually spend engaging in the behavior of mental compulsions, mental rumination, sort of that real stressful solving practice? Write it down. Again, we're not judging here. Even if you wrote 100% of the day, all day, every day for a year or 10 years, it doesn't matter, okay?  The next question in safety behaviors is, if you zoomed out and looked at your entire life, what is it that you are avoiding because of this internal emotional experience, whether it be anxiety, uncertainty, depression, grief, whatever it might be, panic? Whatever it is, what is it specifically that you're avoiding?  Some people say, “I'm avoiding a certain street. I'm avoiding a certain person. I'm avoiding a certain event. I'm avoiding an emotion. I'm avoiding a feeling. I'm avoiding a thought. I'm avoiding a specific book on a specific bookshelf. I'm avoiding a specific movie on the internet or on TV. I'm avoiding a specific topic in every area of my life.” Be as specific as you can. What is it that you are avoiding to try and reduce or remove your distress inside your body? Document all of it.  I tell my patients, it doesn't matter if this takes 17 pages; just document it down. Don't judge yourself. Once we have the data, we can next week meet and work on a solution here. Or as you go through this, if you've already clearly identified that you have, let's say, OCD, generalized anxiety, panic, or depression, we have specific courses on CBTSchool.com that will walk you through these and give you specific solutions to specific problems. That is there for you as well.  We will next week go through the main tools you're going to need. But if you really want to target a specific issue, we may have a course specifically in that area that will help you. If not, there are other areas where you can get resources and therapy as well. But this is going to help you get really clear on what specifically is going on for you. What is it that you're engaging in that's getting in the way? The next safety behavior category is, how do you carry your body throughout the day? Are you hypervigilant? Are you tense? Are you rushing around? That was me. That's when I was like, “Oh, Kimberley, you are going down the wrong channel.” Because I noticed in many areas of my day, I was rushing, trying to avoid some emotions, trying to check boxes, rushing around, hypervigilant, looking around, what bad thing is going to happen next. How are you carrying this in your body?  If you had an eating disorder, it might be, “I'm tensing my stomach and pulling it in and trying to not eat and trying to suppress hunger and thirst.” If that's happening, okay, let's document. If you're having panic, are you squinting, pushing away thoughts, trying to avoid a sensation in your body? We want to get to know what is happening with our bodies. A patient of mine a couple of weeks ago said, “I just hold my breath all day. I really do. I probably take half the breath that someone without anxiety takes.” Write it down if you notice that's what you're doing in your body. Again, not your fault; we're just here to look at the data.  The next category of safety behaviors is, how often do you seek reassurance per day? How often do you consult with Google to reduce your anxiety? How often do you ask family and friends questions about your fear to get a sense of certainty or to reduce your anxiety?  Sometimes this can be tricky. You might even just mention a topic to notice their facial expression to see how they respond, or you might report to them something that happened to see if they're alarmed so that you then know whether you should be alarmed and engage in some behavior, worrying, ruminating, and so forth.  How often are you trying to get to the bottom of anxiety and you're noticing that it's repetitive, and over and over again, you're getting stuck in these rabbit holes of Googling or asking friends and families, often asking them questions they don't even know the answer to?  Often, our family members, because they love us, will give us an answer based on probability, but they actually don't know. And therefore, your brain-- you're very smart. I know this because all my clients with anxiety often in depression are. You're very smart. You know they don't know the answer, so your brain doesn't compute it as a real certainty anyway. Your brain is going to immediately go, “Well, how do they know? They probably don't know any better than I do,” and it's going to want more and more questions to be asked. How often do you seek reassurance per day, or how much of the day do you spend seeking reassurance?  And then the last safety behavior here is physical behaviors. This is more common for folks with OCD, phobias, or health anxiety. What physical behaviors do you engage in? Meaning, do you rearrange things? Do you move things? Do you check things? Do you turn things on and off? Lock doors, unlock doors, lock them again. How much are you engaging in physical behaviors to reduce your anxiety?  Again, I will also say this is very true for generalized anxiety. Often, people with generalized anxiety disorder spend a lot of time just engaging in this high-level functioning of checking boxes, getting things done, always being the busiest person in the room. And while yes, that does get rewarded by our society because, “Oh, look at them go, they're getting all the things done,” they're doing it to avoid or remove discomfort or uncertainty. So we want to get a thorough documentation of all of those things. Again, do not beat yourself up if it's a long list. Those will help us next week when we talk about tools.  KINDNESS AND SAFETY  We move on now to the third category, which is kindness and safety. And now we're talking about how do you respond to yourself and your experience of anxiety. We also talked about this through the lens of safety. Safety is when you're feeling uncomfortable, you're having an emotion such as anxiety, grief, sadness, dread, anger. When you have those emotions, is your brain and body a safe place to allow those emotions to exist, or is it an unsafe place in that you push it away, judge yourself, tell it shouldn't be there, rid it out, get rid of it, banish it, avoid it, abandon it, all the things?  Question #1: How do you treat yourself throughout the day? Out of 10, how kind are you to yourself? Really think about it. How do you treat yourself?  If you thought objectively about yourself as a friend, would you want yourself as a friend around? Probably not. Maybe you've been listening to Your Anxiety Toolkit for some time and you've already really developed these skills, but really, really honestly, how kind are you to yourself? If you were another friend, would you invite yourself over? Probably not because you wouldn't invite a friend over who's like, “What is wrong with you? You're crazy. You shouldn't be doing that. You're so silly. Why are you spending all this time? You're lazy. You're dumb. You're stupid for asking these questions.” So really think about that.  The second question is, do you punish yourself for having these emotional struggles? And if so, how? Do you blame yourself? Do you shame yourself? Do you engage in a lot of guilt behavior, guilting yourself for these behaviors? Do you withhold pleasure from yourself?  I've had so many clients tell me that they will not allow themselves to have the nice toilet paper, and they get themselves the scratchy, one-ply toilet paper because of their intrusive thoughts or because they're depressed and they don't check the boxes that their friends on Instagram have checked. Therefore, they don't deserve the nice shampoo, or they don't deserve nice sheets, or they don't deserve to rest. They basically punish themselves for their emotional struggles, and we don't want to do that.  I know you know this already, but we want to know specifically. Do an inventory. Give yourself some days here to really do a thorough audit of what's going on in your life. You might find that you don't eat or you eat foods that aren't delicious. One thing in my eating disorder recovery was, let's really try to eat foods that are genuinely delicious. And if it's not delicious, don't eat it. Well, of course, if you need to eat and you need to function and you don't have great options, that's fine. Just eat for the sake of nourishment. But if you're at a restaurant, eat the thing that's delicious. Are you engaging in not allowing yourself to have those pleasurable things? The last question in the area of kindness and safety is, what specifically do you say to yourself when things get hard? What specifically do you say to yourself?  Often, people say, “No, I'm really kind to myself. I'm really good. I work out.” But then, when things get hard, everything goes down the drain. They start beating themselves up. When they don't win at work or they don't get a good grade or when they're having a bad anxiety or depression day, that's when they start beating themselves up. What do you say to yourself specifically when things get hard or when things get painful? Write it down.  MINDSET All right. We're moving into the last section, which is mindset, because remember, we're looking at 2024. We're looking at the next six months, three months, or one month, and we're really looking at how can we supercharge your recovery.  Here's the question: How willing are you to experience these emotional struggles in your body? Out of 10, how willing are you?  Most of my patients report like a four, five, and a six, which is still great. I'm happy with that. It's better than one, two, and three. And if you're at a one, two, and three, it's okay. We can start somewhere. Okay? What I'm looking for when I'm with my patients or when I'm with myself is a solid eight, nine, and 10 of willingness.  Of all the things that I push the most, how willing are you to actually have your emotional discomfort? Often, people are like, “I don't want it. I'm in too much pain. I've had too much pain, Kimberley. Don't even ask me to. You don't even understand. I've been in pain for years,” and I get it. What we do resist persists. So we want to first ask ourselves, how willing are we to allow this discomfort to be in our body, this emotion to be in our body, or this thought to be present in our awareness?  The last question here is, when you wake up, what is your mindset about tackling the day? Do you wake up and go, “Oh no, God, I don't want this,” or do you wake up and go, “No, no, no, no. Please, no anxiety today. Please, no thoughts today. Please, no depression today. Please, let this be a good day,” or do you wake up and say, “This will be a bad day”? Just take note of it. You're not wrong for any of them, but we want to get a little bit of a temperature check on how you start the day.  Now, one thing to know, often these thoughts are automatic. You don't have control of them. Again, I'm not here to say they're wrong, but what we will talk about next week is ways in which you can change how you respond to some of those automatic negative thoughts, or even your intrusive thoughts, and really look at how we can create a mindset for you.  Let me give you just a quick rundown before we move forward.  Number one, we will be doing tools next week, and I'll be going deep into that. And that will be the focus of mine for 2024. My biggest focus for 2024 is really doubling down on making sure you guys know what the tools are in your toolkit and which ones work for you, and you get to work from that.  Then I'm actually recording another podcast with Chris Trondsen, where we talk about common mindset roadblocks when it comes to recovery, and we will be giving you strategies there as well. Stick around for that. If you are listening to playbacks here, make sure you listen to all three episodes of this, because I think it will be so important now that you've done an inventory and you know what's going on.  All right. That's that. That is your mental health audit. Write it all down. Give yourself plenty of love. Congratulate and celebrate the fact that you did this hard thing, and I will see you next week to talk about the tools you need—the specific tools in your anxiety toolbelt—to help you go and live a life where anxiety is not in charge, not in the driver's seat, and where you live according to your values, what is important to you. Anxiety and emotions do not get to make your decisions, and that's my goal for you.  Have a great day. As always, I always say it's a beautiful day to do hard things. You did a hard thing today. Thank you for sticking with me. This is not fun work. I get it. But it is important work, and you do deserve to get this really out on paper so that we can get you going in the direction that you want to go.  As always too, take what you need, leave the rest. If some of these questions don't really fly for you or they're very triggering, just do the best you can. I don't ever want people to feel like what I'm saying is the rule and you have to do it.  Take what you need. Leave the rest, and I'll see you next week. Have a good one, everyone.
