That Makes Sense

During a recent class, one of my students shared a huge win: Purposely living by our values IS mind renewal! Our values influence what we believe, how we think, the decisions we make, and ultimately how we experience our lives. When we take the time to know what matters to us, we can begin questioning old beliefs, challenging expectations, and choosing thoughts that support the life we actually want to live. Knowing your values isn't just about knowing yourself better, it's about learning to think for yourself and creating a life that reflects what matters to YOU!

Coffee Thought Time! You don't have to explain every decision you make or convince other people to understand, agree with, or approve of your choices. Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to make others understand us that we end up defending decisions we were already comfortable with. Diana shares some of her favorite phrases for ending those conversations without being rude, dismissive, or getting pulled into more explaining. You can be kind and respectful while letting other people have their opinions and still feel good about your own decisions. Work with me!

The Mind Shift Tool has been one of the most impactful things she's learned, helping her make changes in the way she thinks, feels, and lives.

We often want our lives to get better, but we resist looking at what we can do differently because we're focused on what someone else needs to change. We can influence people, make requests, and offer alternatives, but we can't make other people do what we want them to do. When we keep trying to change someone else instead of looking at our own choices, we can miss the very changes that would make our lives better. It's time to stop waiting for someone else to change and start asking yourself, "What do I want to do?" Mind Renewal is an Inside Job! More Mind Renewal Opportunities Here:  www.rympodcast.com

We spend a lot of time thinking about what could go wrong when we're considering a change, but what if we gave just as much attention to what could go right? In this episode, I talk about how focusing only on potential losses can keep us stuck, limit our creativity, and prevent us from seeing solutions that could make things better. I'll share why thinking about the possible gains can help us find hope, see new possibilities, and make more solid decisions. Plus, I'll give you a simple exercise to help you consider both sides and discover what might be possible when you're willing to do something differently. Mind Renewal Tools: www.rympodcast.com

"That makes sense" can be a powerful way to understand yourself and others without adding judgment, shame, or excuses to the situation. Our beliefs, reactions, and patterns make sense when we consider the experiences, influences, and adaptations that shaped us. From that place of understanding, we can ask the more useful question: Now what do I want to do? This is mind renewal, emotional intelligence, and exercising your free will in your own mind.

Knowing your values is about more than having a list of words that sound good—it's about knowing what matters to you well enough to actually live by it. When your choices, boundaries, relationships, and everyday actions move away from your values, it's easy to slowly betray yourself and lose trust in your own decisions. Learn how to recognize when you're moving away from yourself and start having your own back with one choice, one conversation, one yes, one no at a time. Diana's six-week live class, Know Your Values: The Inner Compass You've Been Missing, goes deeper into turning your values into a practical way of living. Sign up at www.rympodcast.com

Your goals can tell you what you want, but your values tell you why you want it. When you connect with your values on a deeper level, you can uncover the why that gives you something to come back to when things get hard, motivation fades, or the path gets messy. Your values can fuel the choices, habits, relationships, and challenges that move you toward the life you want to live. Learn more about making your values practical in my six-week live class, Know Your Values: The Inner Compass You've Been Missing, at rympodcast.com.

Self-care isn't always about doing something fun or avoiding discomfort—it can be about making choices that support the life you actually want. When you know your values, taking care of yourself can become less about guilt and more about living in alignment with what matters to you. From rest and exercise to asking for help or doing something uncomfortable, self-care can look different depending on what you value. Diana's six-week class, Know Your Values: The Inner Compass You've Been Missing, begins October 4th and will help you identify your values and use them in everyday life.  Register for Classes at www.rympodcast.com
