Have you ever been on the receiving end of the "Do Better" lecture? This lecture usually sounds like: Exercise more, sleep better, eat healthier. If you have, have you left that doctor appointment feeling inspired and hopeful...or Frustrated and angry?

Likely the latter, right?

Have you thought:
If I could, I would!
Or something along the lines of:
What a crock of Sh*t; I've tried that before and it didn't help.
Or even:
They didn't even listen to me. If they did, they would know that I can't or don't know how to do any of those things?

If that's you, I see you, friend.

And this Podcast is for you. With love, of course.

Your Pain is a combination of contributions from your Body, MInd, and Stories. In this episode, I talk about how pain is processed in your body, which is an important part of your understand and path to your pain free life.

Do you have big goals and dreams to help you live the life you want to live? 
Do you also have a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you try to think about STARTING the changes you want to see in your life?
OOOR do you see yourself thinking about starting these things and then your brain goes: Nu-huh. Not today...

If your'e in one of those camps, lets talk about your avoidance issue.

Then: here's the magic sauce: What FEELINGS are you experiencing when you notice your avoidance behaviors? We dive into these things in this episode, and I give you the three most common emotions and actions that may cue you into your avoidance patterns, all so that you can take that first step: Know when you're avoiding.

This message is for all of you out there doing ALL the things

You’re eating right

You’re Journaling

You’re exercising to your pace

You’re seeing a therapist/s

But you’re still in pain. 

If you’re one of those people: I have one question for you:

Do you believe?

Do you believe in yourself?

Do you believe in your goals?

Do you believe in the path?

Or are there stories that are playing in your head that are keeping you down?

Are you feeling like every time you take a step forward, you take two steps back?

Are you constantly feeling frustrated aren’t where you think you should be?

Are you feeling like even though you are doing all the things, you feel like you should be doing more?

If you’re one of those people, I invite you to just pause and take a breath. 

Think back to 1 year ago, and remember your day to day life then. 

What were you frustrated with? What couldn’t you do? What do you wish you could do?

Take a look at where you are now. How have those things improved? How do you feel since that has all changed?

Next step: 

Make a list of your frustrations, the things you can’t do, the things you are unhappy with about your life. 

After you’ve done this, put it aside. Keep doing you, and come back and three months and see how your life has changed.
