 How do we stay centered and grounded when we have to deal with the stress of the day-to-day? We may have moments of clarity and spirituality, but how can we take this connection with us wherever we go? We can easily read an upsetting news story or get stuck in traffic or long lines at the store, and we can lose sight of our spirit. According to our guest today, writer Polly Campbell, it's a matter of being aware of what triggers us. This is life. Upsets can come into our reality all the time, yet we can learn to move more gracefully and maintain spiritual balance. Polly found herself with major challenges at one point with a diagnosis of cancer. She became angry. She realized she had stepped away from her spiritual practice, but once she noticed that, she could correct it. Having a child, as well as a full-time job, as so many people do, she decided she would find other ways to pray and be more spiritual. She suggests praying in the shower and being mindful while folding laundry. She talks about being silent in the car and experiencing the quiet, rather than listening to music or talking on the phone. She also suggests we go into a state of gratitude as often as we can. When paying bills, rather than getting stressed, be thankful that you can pay. If you see a stain on the carpet, rather than being upset, be grateful for the house and the rug. It's a matter of not putting thoughts in negative places or going into a heavy mindset. This disconnects us. Rather than going into pain, we can be mindful. When we feel better, we can make a difference that will help to shift us and eventually the world. There are simple practices we can do that connect us to peacefulness and stillness. Mindfulness practices can be done in just a few minutes. We can stop, take a breath, and give ourselves a hug. This small movement helps us release stress. It changes us physically and emotionally. It reconnects us to ourselves and can take us out of negativity. Polly talks about her book, “Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People.” Her articles on personal development topics and spiritual practices appear regularly in national publications and blogs. She is also a professional speaker who inspires and energizes audiences with a blend of wit and wisdom. The spiritual practices and personal development strategies she offers have also helped her cope with chronic illness. Her small tips and easy practices can help us move into a more positive place.

Sure! Here's a concise 150-word show notes draft for Polly Campbell, Simply Said podcast, featuring the topic based on the revised feedback piece, with a Substack link included: Ep. XX – How to Take Feedback Without Falling Apart We all get feedback—at work, in relationships, sometimes from complete strangers. And while it's meant to help us grow, it can also sting, especially when we're already feeling stretched. In this episode, Polly talks about how to take in constructive criticism without letting it derail your confidence. Learn how to filter what's useful, stay grounded when it gets overwhelming, and use feedback as a tool for growth—not a reason to shut down. Because building a meaningful life isn't about getting it perfect—it's about learning as we go.

In this episode, we dive into the sneaky ways social comparison affects our well-being and holds us back from our most meaningful goals. It's easy to scroll, compare, and feel like we're falling behind—but that mindset keeps us stuck. We'll break down why comparison is so tempting, how it drains our confidence, and what to do when we catch ourselves spiraling. Expect practical strategies to shift your mindset, regain focus, and cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself.

Popcorn brain is a term researchers use to explain the state of mind that is caused when we are constantly bombarded with information and digital interruptions. The onslaught of information causes us to pop around like popcorn kernels, from one place to the next, and that raises our stress, leads to feelings of overwhelm, and diminishes our productivity. It also makes it harder for us to focus and maintain our concentration at other times. But a few low-tech practices can help us minimize this "popcorn brain" effect and better manage our work and our stress. In this episode, Polly explains what's behind popcorn brain and how we can avoid it.

And just like miners seek out gold or other valuable resources, prospecting the future means taking a look at our skills, abilities, goals, and dreams and imagining the best future for ourselves. Casting an eye toward how things will look and feel when we accomplish our goals can help us achieve them. In the process, it can boost our well-being and help us manage the darker moods and symptoms of depression. It's not magic, of course. With the image of our future selves in mind, we must take consistent action to achieve our goals, but it's fun to fantasize and as we work to create the lives we want, we can discover the riches within ourselves.

It's easy to get locked into the daily routine and lose track of what makes us feel good, the things we enjoy doing. Whether is baking or learning a new language, going on a solo hiking trip, or taking a deep dive into music, whatever it is, the way back into life is to start exploring to discover what we love to do now, no matter our age or stage of life. It's O.K. to have fun, though we might have to experiment with new things to find what feels good now. That's the good part though, because that growth is expansive, exhilarating, and revitalizing. In this episode, Polly Campbell talks about how a recent transition in her life has her wondering what she likes NOW, and what we can all do to step out of our comfort zones and grow as a way of rediscovering what we enjoy. Some things we discuss? Daydreaming, mind mapping, and experimenting with activities we've always thought about but have been afraid to try--hello, kayaking. In the end, whether we enjoy the activity or not, the adventure and discovery help us grow and that always feels good.

What Voice Are You Listening To? Are listening to the fear or the voice of love? One keeps us stuck in trauma, anxiety, upset and has us reaching for things that temporarily make us feel better like food, alcohol, drugs, technology. The other helps us acknowledge our pain, so we can resolve it and past traumas and live in a place of compassion, growth, and peace. So what voice are you listening to? In this conversation addictions expert, psychotherapist, and author of The Healing Moment : 7 Paths to Turn Messes Into Miracles of Love, Dr. Donna Marks talks about the voices we all hear of fear and love and how we can choose which ones we listen to, transform our negative experiences, and live with greater self-love. When we do that, compassion, forgiveness, calm, and joy emerge and we take back control of our lives, instead of giving it up to negative thinking, actions, and addictions. Then, we begin creating the lives we want. In this conversation on Polly Campbell Simply Said with Dr.Donna Marks you will hear: How the voices of fear limit our growth and happiness. How we can identify the things that dim our ability to love ourselves and others so we can learn to soothe ourselves? How our relationships with others are a result of how we love ourselves and how we can replace our need for control--the voice of fear--for love.

What Happens When We Pause for Wonder? Consultant, teacher, and author of Tracking Wonder, Jeffrey Davis says curiosity, innovation, and wonder will not only lead to more joy and satisfaction but also help us through adversity, raise the level of our productivity and creativity, and help us flourish and it all starts with a mindful pause. Wonder, Davis says, is the ability and willingness to "heightened state of awareness. Instant mindfulness is brought about by something unexpected that either delights us, disorients us, or both. " Jeffrey Davis explains how we can track wonder by defining and detecting the downer pattern, opening up to the world, and feeling the patterns that hold us back, keeping us from curiosity and wonder, then seeking out wonder and expanding into it. When we do, we can recognize the elevating moments, the higher experience we also experience in life and that, changes how we think, behave, and create.

Do You Value Emotional Labor? Emotional labor is the unpaid and often undervalued work we do to manage feelings, expressions, and behaviors to support the emotional comfort of others. Sound familiar? It might look like a job that has a "customer is always right" policy, or regularly coming up with meal ideas and a shopping list or scheduling vet appointments and carpools, or calming the child after a bad dream. Perhaps you coordinate the office parties or always buy the presents and birthday cards for others to sign, maybe it's on you to curb racist inappropriate behavior in others. Emotional labor disproportionately falls on women, BIPOC communities, and disadvantaged groups not because these groups are so much better at anticipating the emotional and care needs of others, but because others have been socialized that it's someone else's job and they undervalue the importance of emotional labor. And the burden of emotional labor increases stress, burnout, resentment, and feelings of overwhelm and fatigue. But, we can learn to balance the emotional labor in our relationships so everyone can thrive and that's the topic on today's Polly Campbell, Simply Said.

Welcome to the 5th Season of Polly Campbell, Simply Said. Thanks for listening. I love doing the show, sharing these ideas, and connecting with you. Thanks for being a part of our community. -pc Have you misplaced your car keys lately, forgotten to return an email, missed an appointment, or have a hard time making decisions? Yep, sounds like Brain Fog, the absentmindedness when we often experience when we are under stress, feeling isolated, tired, or uncertain. It's no surprise that as we reemerge into the post-pandemic normal, many of us still feel spacey at times, forgetful, and inattentive. That can chip away at our productivity at work and leave us feeling a little off-balance and frustrated. In today's episode, Polly Campbell talks about the science-based approaches we can use to end the brain fog and feel better, more grounded, and more productive. Want some quick tips? Get moving. If you can get outside for a walk or stretch, but don't get caught behind your desk all day. Movement improves blood flow which carries oxygen to our brains and that helps us think straight. Or at least straighter. Be kind to yourself. Putting yourself down after a blunder or moment of forgetfulness isn't going to help your attention any, instead, it will add to your stress. Take a break between work and home. Even if you are working from a home office, you might want to add in some commute time before transitioning back. On this episode of Polly Campbell Simply Said, Polly explains what's behind those feelings that cause us to feel foggy and unfocused and the simple things we can do in our days to end it.
