Here's a sobering idea: It is impossible to know and understand 100% of a situation. Now, I know that may sound a bit jarring for some of us. Personally, I like to believe I always have a handle on exactly what's going on. I'm a master mind-reader, and an excellent future-predictor—or at least I'd like to think so! Of course, I'm speaking tongue-in-cheek here. In truth, I don't know the future and no one has complete knowledge of any situation. Once I settle into that reality, something beautiful begins to happen: curiosity emerges. And curiosity leads me to ask better questions, which broadens my perspective and deepens my understanding. The small phrase "I Wonder..." is the core of what we're talking about today. _________________________________________________________________Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living website and her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads

Jodi Grubbs fell headlong into the endless rush and exhaustion of hustle culture. After leaving her childhood home on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean, she had assumed the rapid pace and stress of city living in the States. Soon she realized God was bidding her to a return to the "island time" of her past. In time Jodi found sanctuary and ways to care for her soul by making space for God, others, and herself. Evoking the contentment she once had in the gentle rhythms of Bonaire, she learned of another path: a path away from burnout and toward restoration. And she invites you, too, to grasp a sustainable approach to life anchored by the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an openhandedness before God. Begin to rest and let go of the need to keep up, as you learn to live slowly. Jodi Grubbs is the podcast host of Our Island in the City and a slow-living advocate. She is the author of Live Slowly: A Gentle Invitation to Exhale, a children's book, The Island Adventures of Lili and Oliver, and coauthor of a Bible study called The Friendship Café.

Never allowing a break, the stressed achiever keeps you driving forward. She'll have nothing to do with laziness. But what hums underneath is a fear that she doesn't exist apart from her accomplishments. These are her mantras: Staying busy proves my worth. The more I produce, the more I am.

Most of the women I connect with have an interesting connection with their bodies. And that's putting it mildly. It seems we either love her, hate her or ignore her. (Notice I didn't call my body an it, but rather her). I know I'm playing around with semantics, but personalizing my body helps me not keep her at arms distance…like an object. Our bodies are God-created and given. Many of us have suffered various forms of trauma over the course of our lives. And our bodies store the memory of these traumas inside. This is why we don't want to ignore her messages. Today I'm talking with Sarah Jackson and we'll be discussing the idea of attuning to our bodies with awareness, understanding and care. The connection between our minds and our bodies is undeniable. And even though the scientific world confirms this, practically speaking, we don't always know how to make the most of this God-designed connection. Sarah is quite skilled at helping us make that connection.  Connect with Sarah on Instagram. Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living websiteLearn about her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads

ICDT 51: Seven Unhelpful Voices

Unhurried Living

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 19, 2022 13:18


On today's podcast episode I'm sharing a little bit about each of the seven unhelpful voices that sometimes take the steering while of our lives.At its core, each voice does not believe it already has what it needs. So, it finds a way to whisper (or yell) in your ear to get your attention. When they feel backed into a corner these voices may lash out. Here's an example from each voice. See if you recognize any of these:Stressed Achiever - You haven't achieved enough yet. You haven't proved yourself. Get on it!Positive Thinker - You can't possibly have everything yet. But I know how to get it. Let's go!Inner Critic - It's not perfect yet. We are going to get this right if it's the last thing we do.Anxious Controller - You don't have enough control. What if things go awry? What will happen then, huh?!Complaining Victim - That other person is keeping you from being happy. If they would just change, then you'd have what you need. Until then you are stuck.Passive Spectator - And you don't know how to get it. You only have so much energy and we've got more important things to do like hide, be scared, and remain unfulfilled. That way you never have to be disappointed.Unsatisfied Heart - How could you possibly fill that giant void in your heart? There is no way to fill up this space, and even if you try there's no way it will happen any time soon.Seeing the voices this starkly can make us either laugh or cry. But when these unhelpful thoughts circle around in our brain, they seem very real—and they feel like the truth.But remember what we said before, you are not your thoughts. These voices come from any number of places inside of us. Past traumas, unhealthy relationships and more cause us to self-protect. And these voices are really trying their best to keep us safe.  Connect with Gem on Instagram and learn more on the Unhurried Living websiteLearn about and pre-order her new book, Hold That Thought: Sorting Through the Voices in Our Heads
