Whenever I visit relatives in Taiwan, sometimes I Whenever I visit relatives in Taiwan, sometimes I can't really relate to my cousins' jargon or choice of words. And at the same time, I don't entirely fit in to the western culture in Canada.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I'm always somewhere in between.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I used to think that because of this, I was just different.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And this is just the way it is.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ As a result, this is what I created for myself.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I always had this sense of not quite fitting in in my classes, in groups, in communities, amongst my peers.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ...Can you relate to this?⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Over the years, this is what I learned... belonging is a DECISION.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹You become a part of a group by deciding that you belong.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And in fact, you don't need to change others (or change your group) in order to do that.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Of course, you can always seek new groups and new people to be around if you want to.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But just know that as long as you believe this about yourself, no matter where you go it's likely you will think you don't belong. This has proven to be true for me every time.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Now whenever I enter a new environment, I still have a tendency to think i don't fit in.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But I'm simply noticing this with fascination and curiosity. My brain is just conditioned to do this on default. And there's nothing wrong with that.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And of course this will happen.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Because belonging doesn't just happen to you.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You decide to belong by intentionally training your mind to think differently, to take up space, and decide on purpose that you are a part of this room.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Doesn't matter if it's at work, with the communities you are in, or in your personal relationships.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹You create your own ability to belong.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ I've done this for myself and for many people I work with.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You're always capable of belonging, no matter how different you may be.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ - Shir⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you judge/ criticize/ shame yourself for "fee When you judge/ criticize/ shame yourself for "feeling bad", that only makes the emotional experience so much worse.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ In this episode I talk about:⁠ > why we don't want to feel bad⁠ > how to allow a negative emotion⁠ > clean pain vs. dirty pain⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Link in bio to tune in.⁠ Or search Daring Living Podcast on wherever you listen to your podcasts 🎧🎙️
You really want to pursue that goal outside of you You really want to pursue that goal outside of your regular job.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And technically, you do know what you need to do. YET you're not doing it.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ ... why not?⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Because this is what happens ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ We always create reasons that hold us back.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ We try to talk ourselves out of doing the exact things that will move us forward.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"I don't think I can do this."⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"I don't have enough time."⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"My job is too demanding"⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"I already tried before and it didn't work"⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"I quit too easily. It's just who I am."⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 🔹"I'm scared of what people will think about me."⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ How often do you have these voices in your head that's keeping you stuck?⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ The reason why you're not moving forward is because of YOUR OWN BRAIN.🧠⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ In coaching, I help people reprogram their thoughts so they can constantly make decisions that move them forward.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Do NOT let YOURSELF hold you back from pursuing the goals you've always wanted to achieve.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You're so much more capable than your brain believes you are.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ 👉Use your brain FOR you, not against you.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Let me show you how.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ - Shir
You're waiting to be reimbursed by work or covered You're waiting to be reimbursed by work or covered by insurance so you can get coaching.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ If this is you...first of all, I'm definitely not saying you should sign up if you really just don't have the money right now.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But what I am saying, is to notice that you're using not being reimbursed as a reason to wait on saying yes to yourself and on improving your mental wellbeing long term.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Personally, I don't believe mental health is an area you want to put on hold just because you're not covered. (But this is my opinion, of course)⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ The media tells us it's okay to pay for iPhones, handbags, cosmetics, electronics, or even cars and vacations.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ But it never tells us that our mental health is worth paying for too. Not many of us were taught to think this way.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ So of course we would have the tendency to put our current wellbeing (and how it's affecting our future) on the condition of insurance/ reimbursement.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ AND yes, I totally understand the resistance to spending money on coaching... if this is something you're not used to do.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And, I also know that you totally deserve to invest into yourself directly like this⁠ ⁠ (... Hmm and think about where else in your life do you think you don't "deserve" to do/ have something? 🧠🤔 )⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ And, simply because this is your money.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ So do whatever the heck you want with it.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You 100% deserve to start feeling better and start changing your life right now,⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ regardless of whatever the heck companies/ insurance allow you to do.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ You are worth investing in. Always.⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ All the love,⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠ Shir⁠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁠
