XO Living: Intentional Decision Making

"Being stuck in the same spot terrifies me." "I'm scared of ending up with health issues like my dad." "What if I share my idea and everyone thinks it's dumb?" We all have a fear of something. Failure, judgement, rejection, insignificance. We may not acknowledge it, or even realize it. These thoughts often operate in the background, silently dictating our choices. But - it's possible to rewrite that script. The first step is recognizing your thought patterns. Then, we work to change them.

Have any of these happened to you? For me it's D: All of the above. So I spend a lot of time re-setting. Re-setting my reactions, my goals, my expectations, my emotions. Always re-setting. Because it's the only way to make sure I'm directing my own life, instead of just following along. Intentional Living/ Personal Transformation / Need a change / Personal Wellness

I started to understand the importance of REST. ⁠Over the years, it made me pay attention to my own rhythms. The way I sometimes push until I'm on the brink of exhaustion. ⁠So now, I try to gift myself moments of pause too. A slow morning, a nap, a massage, a novel - just because.
I’m learning, slowly, to honor the pause. ⁠

Importance Of Honesty

How To Deal With Massive Life Changes

When was the last time you made a big, life-changing decision? Taking a leap is one thing, recovering from it is another. Maybe it was moving across the world for love, changing careers, or even starting a family. These choices can be exciting, they can be for people we love, they can be for something wonderful. But they're also choices that bring change, and loss of an old life, a previous identity, something familiar. This episode of the 🎤XO Conversations podcast 🎤 is about embracing the full spectrum of those decisions, acknowledging the bittersweet farewells as much as the exciting hellos. This isn’t just about making decisions; it’s about making peace with them.

Is Your Gut Feeling Right?

People often talk about having a gut feeling, or intuition. And I think that knowing how to listen to that underlying feeling or instinct is really important. But many people don't know how to read it. The feeling is actually fear, or uncertainty, or a negative past experience or some feeling of discomfort. If we want to be intentional with our choices and our lives, we need to understand the difference between our instincts and our automated patterns.
