Managing Your Expectations

Many of us have a harsh inner critic. We tend to judge our thoughts, feelings, and actions in a negative way that beats us down and does not motivate us to grow or learn. This can lead to chronic anxiety, imposter syndrome, and depression. In this episode, I discuss how to shift from judgment to evaluation. It is important to shift the focus from a negative attack on ourselves to a supportive assessment that allows us to learn and grow.   If you are interested in working with Lisa The Life Coach 1:1 as your Coach  book a free Connection Call to learn more.

Everyone struggles.  This is a fact of life.  And yet so often when we struggle, we self-isolate, judge and criticize ourselves, dismiss our experience, and refuse to ask for help.  This only serves to increase our suffering. In this episode, I discuss how connecting to our common humanity, that second element of self-compassion, can provide support and comfort in those times of struggle.  You are not alone.  If you are interested in working with Lisa The Life Coach 1:1 as your Coach book a free Connection Call to learn more.

Your identity is the set of beliefs you have about who you are as a person. These beliefs can be used to support and guide you, to move you closer to your goals, and even to enhance your enjoyment of life. But many times, we use our thoughts about who we are as just another method of self-judgment and constant inner criticism.  In this episode, I discuss how we often use our identity as a tool for self-judgment as well as a different way to think about and use our identity.  Check out this episode to learn more about how to use your identity as a tool that serves you and not another tool for self-judgment.   If you are interested in working with Lisa The Life Coach 1:1 as your Coach  book a free Connection Call to learn more.

The mindset or belief that we can do hard things is very beneficial for us when facing challenges and setting and achieving goals.  In this episode, we notice how dismissing the times we have done hard things and our achievements is a disservice to ourselves and undermines our belief in our abilities.
