We talk a lot in therapy & on this podcast about our relationship with others - how to understand it, define it, improve it and exit it when need be. This relationship though, is the most important one you can ever have - your relationship with yourself. And the truth is, most of us don't even know WHAT we think about our relationship with ourselves. Are you someone you like to hang out with? What do you bring out in yourself when you are alone? Do you feel incomplete without people by your side during certain activities? What do you think others think about you when you're alone? All these questions help us understand & define our relationship with ourselves. We are the one's that will never leave us, so we better enjoy our own company. Listen on to help learn how to improve your relationship with yourself and see all the other relationships in your life magically improve.

If you have ever found yourself struggling in a romantic, personal or work relationship and don't know how you keep finding yourself here, this episode is for YOU! In Time For Your Mind's #22, we talk about how easy it is to fall for what we think people CAN be down the road, or little glimmers of who they have been - also known as seeing someone's potential. Don't get me wrong - its so wonderful to believe in the people in our lives and think they are capable of wonderful things. The problem is that people who struggle with Self Assurance often find themselves thinking that they aren't worthy of having people in their life that are already all they can be - which often means that they are able to treat us the way we really deserve. Listen to this episode to learn how to shift into seeing people for the reality of who they are today and learn how to believe that you are worth a complete package :) If you are ready to dive deeper into your Self Assurance journey you are in LUCK! We have a quick and easy 60minute self-taught course that you can download and complete at your own pace.

Think about it - everything we do, we do because we think it will make us HAPPIER. We all want to just simply be happy, feel good, be loved, feel at peace, be inspired and fulfilled. We buy things, go on trips, pamper ourselves, change jobs, watch our shows, hang with friends - it all has a purpose, if we really look at it. But maybe there is an easier way. This episode talks about the mental habits that keep us from feeling as good as we can be AND how you can apply some simple thoughtful habits to boost your happiness to feel it deeper. These are the skills that I teach people in therapy to help identify all the things in their life that they can feel great about TODAY. (and, of course, Self-Assurance is a big factor here!) Listen if you want an instant boost!

Ever heard of the term "distress tolerance"? Unless you are a therapist, probably not. This refers to how good we are at feeling bad - distress tolerance. The truth is, learning how to manage distress, or having the skills and self-assurance to be uncomfortable and feel bad is an ESSENTAIL component of breaking through your own barriers and getting to the next level of your life. It is also helpful to start to recognize how much other people struggle with a lack of distress tolerance because it helps you decode the crazy things they do to avoid feeling sad, mad, disappointed, and beyond. Listen to this episode to learn about distress tolerance, evaluate your own levels of it AND, most importantly, get concrete skills you can practice TODAY to get better at feeling bad to see the radical changes you are yearning for. **spoiler alert** - it all comes down to self-assurance!

Don't get me wrong - Being empathic is a wonderful quality. Empathy makes us good people and it also helps us understand others so we can be more patient, caring & connected. But this episode isn't about being any of those things. Many of my clients that struggle with self-assurance find themselves being a very empathetic person, some even calling themselves an "empath". They let things slide because they understand, they can get talked into things when they know what the other person is going through and put others needs far beyond their own. This is for you guys. In this episode I share stories and examples of people who I have had to encourage to have LESS empathy. I share step by step advice on how to increase your self assurance to turn off the empathy switch to empower yourself to do what you need AND to feel good about it.
