Today, we are talking about making mistake. How often to we make a mistake and then associate it with our character or then have guilt or shame about it? There is a difference between a one off choice and a pattern of behavior that is unhelpful. Our choices impact us and possible others. We can choose to take a mistake and learn from it, rather than continue making unhelpful choices. #mistakes #makechoices #perfection #mentalhealth #shame   Ask me anything https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

Today, we are talking about this idea of being sorry. I hate that we teach little kids to just say sorry and that makes things better. It doesn't we have to actually do better. Doing better is taking ownership of our behavior, being curious about how our actions created an emotional response from others, and working on changing our behavior moving forward. #dobetter #sorrynotsorry #changeovertime #mentalhealth #bestintentionsthebook    Ask me anything https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

Today, we are talking about the things we carry in our emotional backpack or baggage into our daily experience. Some of those things are conscious and some are unconscious. We get to choose what weighs us down and keep us stuck in old patterns, beliefs, and behavior. #whatwecarry #oldbeliefs #confidence #identity #mentalhealth  Ask me anything or leave feedback: https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

Today, we are talking about what we prioritize in how we choose to live. Are we spending our time on how something looks, like our resume or how we influence how others feel, our obituary.

Today, we are talking about the things that rob us the limited finite time we are given on the planet. All of us have a only the time we are allotted in this one life we are currently living. We have 24 short hours in a day to get things done, feel all of the emotions we go through in a day, and think about what has happened both before and what will happen in the future. Being present in a luxury and can be an opportunity for gathering peace. #time #4000hours #mentalhealth #trauma #chasingpeace   https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

Today, we are talking about the feeling of exhaustion, resentment, and sometimes depression that comes for over giving in relationships. We can often feel like we need to keep showing up for people who aren't doing their own work from a sense of guilt, obligation, or shame. It's helpful to notice if we are taking care of ourselves and managing our resources effectively. #burnout #compassionfatigue #worryaboutyourself #relationships   https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

  Today, we are talking about going above and beyond which can lead to burnout or not being able to enjoy the life we are in. Often, we are working so hard to meet everyone else's needs, we don't take the time to take care of our needs or take pleasure in what we are working for. #burnout #aboveandbeyond #balance #worktolive     https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial  

Today, we are talking about corrosive doubt and traumatic invalidation. The idea that if our emotional experience is often rejected or denied we can build up doubt in our ability to do or feel things fully. We lack the trust in ourselves to get through difficult or challenging things. #corrosivedoubt #trustyourself #traumaticinvalidation #mentalhealth https://luna-x2-llc.com/podcast-x2thexennial
