We all know the toxic manipulators gaslight... But did you know it's possible to gaslight YOURSELF
Today I want to help you Take Control of Your Life. Sometimes we might feel like LIFE is out of control or forces outside ourselves are running the show. But, use these 9 strategies to take the wheel and start controlling your life in every area. And, PLEASE share this show with at least one person you feel would benefit from its message. Here are the 9 strategeis for taking control of your life...enjoy 1-Take Good Care of Yourself- It's much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest. 2-Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For- Stresses and challenges don't seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference. 3-Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions- A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family member's bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Don't waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about. 4-Refrain from Using Absolutes- Have you ever told a partner "You're ALWAYS late!" or complained to a friend "You NEVER call me!"? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like 'always' and 'never' makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering. 5-Detach From Negative Thoughts- Your thoughts can't hold any power over you if you don't judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and don't follow it. 6-Squash the "ANTs"- In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel Amen talks about "ANTs" - Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like "Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me," or "The boss wants to see me? It must be bad!" When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them! 7-Increase Your Social Activity- By increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way! 8-Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person- Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return. 9-Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Rumination- If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop it is to interrupt the pattern and force yourself to do something completely different. Rumination is like hyper-focus on something negative. It's never productive, because it's not rational or solution-oriented, it's just excessive worry. Try changing your physical environment - go for a walk or sit outside. You could also call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on some music. Thanks for listening. G
"Secrets & Lies Ruin Lives" 8/9/20 Sermon Series: “REAL LOVE” A Relationship Rehab Series Speaker: Pastor Sparks Text: Joshua 7:24-26 -Withholding information is just another form of lying (a half-truth is a whole lie) -Intimacy means to be “fully-known” & it is a by-product of truth-telling Waterlines in our lives: * Image waterline is what we want the public to see & it’s what we work hard to make impressive * Spouse waterline is a step beyond the image waterline because our spouse knows a deeper level than the public; while the public sees the nice outfit, our spouse knows we got holes in our socks! * “Hiddenness” waterline is the line that holds the stuff we don’t want/allow anyone else to really see or know Learn to tell the truth to three people: 1. Yourself - It’s foolish to try to deceive ourselves! 1 John 1:8 says that if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth isn’t in us. When I believe the lies I tell myself, I’m in a dangerous place 2. Your Spouse (Friends) - You need someone to keep you accountable! 3. God - He already knows, so why not have a conversation with someone who knows you FULLY...yet loves you DEEPLY?! 1 John 1:9 says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful & will forgive us and cleanse us! We gotta go thru a heart change to get better: 1. Value truth-telling more than image-building (it’s ok to not have it all together!) 2. Value transparency more than accountability (there can’t be true accountability without transparency first) 3. Value intimacy more than the absence of conflict ” Sermon Notes courtesy of Deacon Anthony Sparks

We are living in strange times these days. Sheltering in Place, forced to quarantine while watching a constant news cycle of a rising death toll due to a virus we are receiving so much conflicting information on. Our “fight or flight” instinct we all have is on high alert. With so much to worry about I ask you this: How much time are YOU devoting to caring for YOURSELF? It’s a natural instinct to want to help others, love others but sometimes to your own detriment. My guest on this episode is Mercedes Coffman, psychotherapist and Licensed Marriage and Family therapist. May is National Mental Health Awareness Month so I couldn’t think of a better time to unpack this loaded subject with an additional discussion about love and the development of healthy relationships.

With so much option out there for learning and development, and such a lot of online facilities why should we bother with the time and expense of an in-person conference, event or workshop? If you really want to enhance your development, then in my view, some in person conferences are essential. Here’s why. Stronger Connections Connections are more powerful than we realise. There’s nothing more powerful than a group of like-minded people in the same room. When I work with leaders they often tell me they feel alone. Good conferences have opportunities for attendees to mix and mingle, form new relationships, and strengthen existing ones. Personalise Your Learning When you’re there in person, you can ask questions that are specific to your business struggles or from your company At events people will often share their ideas or strategies and you can make a bee-line for them at the break too. New Perspective A new or different venue can open up a new way of thinking and looking at things. "There’s a model in coaching that’s called perceptual positions. The point is that it guides you through looking at situation from your own point of view, that of a colleague or manager and then someone else, perhaps a mentor or client. It gives you new perspective about your work and encourages you to ask questions differently. It’s similar at a conference" Confidence Going hand-in-hand with the previous reason, live events force you to break out of your comfort zone. When I went to a Global Leadership event last year, I wrote down this: “I’m in a room full of inspiration people, leader in their areas, but so many comments about being insecure, not confident and struggling in some way." Yet, they felt comfortable, confident enough to be sharing that at the conference. They got support of like minded people. That increases your confidence too. Invest in Yourself It’s admitting that you’re worth it. It’s admitting that you still have things to learn. That you can get better, that’s a good thing. We’re always learning. It’s an investment in yourself, your career, and even your company. The Talking Truths conference will enable you to improve your performance and lead effectively. You will grow in confidence and make a positive impact on the professional and personal growth of you and your team, without compromising wellbeing. www.emmalangton.com/events email me at emma@emmalangton.com

Favorite Success Quote “Reality is negotiable”~ Tim Ferriss Key Points 1. Live a Life True to Yourself It’s so easy in life today to live a life that is not true to who we are. We take a job that we don’t like to impress our friends and family, we get married to someone we do not truly love because everyone else loves her, we live in a way that is incongruent with who we are because we are too afraid to take the reigns of our own lives! If you want to live a life that is full, not just full of financial success and fun, but a life full of joy, love, and peace, it starts with being true to yourself. Because only when you are true to yourself can you truly live a life that will inspire and empower others. 2. You Have to be Willing to Make Tough Decisions You will often be faced with difficult decisions, you will usually have two options, to take the path of least resistance, the path you have been down before that is easy and comfortable, or to take the path of growth. The path that scares you and keeps you up at night, the path that will lead to the life of your dreams…after it leads you through pain and hardship. If you want to live a full life and a life on your terms, you have to take the road less traveled, it will make all the difference. 3. Sometimes You Just Have to Jump Sometimes, when you are making hard decisions, you just have to jump. You have to take an action in faith, believing that it will work out without any evidence to support your belief. You just have to jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down, once you do, you will find that all sorts of doors and opportunities open up… But you have to take the jump first.

What can You Learn from A Girl?
