Developing Mental Resilience: Proven Strategies to Overcome Stress and Thrive | Resilient by Design 26:22

7 weeks前26:22

26:22

Send us a text In this episode of the Permission to Love Podcast , we continue the Resilient by Design series, focusing on three essential cognitive tools to help you build resilience, reframe stress, and create a healthier relationship with yourself. Stress can often feel overwhelming, but in this episode we look at the research-backed strategies that demonstrate how reframing stress and shifting our mindset can unlock personal growth and empowerment. You will learn how to: Use the ABC model (Activating Event, Belief, Consequence) to identify and transform stress triggers. Develop a growth mindset through small, achievable goals and consistent celebration of progress. Rewire outdated schemas and limiting beliefs with positive self-talk to build confidence and resilience. This episode is packed with actionable insights, stories, and research-based techniques to help you stop surviving and start thriving. Key Takeaways: Reframing Stress: Stress is not inherently bad; how we interpret it determines its impact. Research by Lazarus and Folkman shows that appraising stress as a challenge (rather than a threat) leads to motivation and empowerment. The ABC model: Identify the Activating Event, the Belief about the event, and the Consequence. Shift the belief to change the outcome. The Growth Mindset: A fixed mindset limits potential, while a growth mindset encourages adaptability and learning. Incremental goals and small wins build momentum. Celebrating progress rewires the brain for optimism and resilience. Positive Self-Talk: Inner dialogue shapes how we view ourselves and the world. Negative schemas, rooted in past experiences, can trap us in outdated narratives. Neuroscience shows positive self-talk strengthens neural pathways linked to optimism and resilience. Actionable Challenge: Pick one cognitive tool—reframing stress, developing a growth mindset, or practicing positive self-talk—and commit to using it this week. Chapters: 00:00 Introduction: Stress, anxiety, and avoidance 02:45 The power of reframing stress 04:19 The ABC model: Understanding activating events, beliefs, and consequences 07:11 Developing a growth mindset: Tips and tools 08:57 The importance of reframing stress and embracing challenges 10:44 Setting incremental goals and celebrating small wins 13:55 The impact of self-cele I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

How to Create Positive Emotions | Resilient by Design 38:12

8 weeks前38:12

38:12

Send us a text In this episode, we dive into practical tools to access positive emotions and build emotional resilience—your ability to adapt to adversity and stay aligned with the life you want to create. Learn how emotions serve as a compass, guiding you toward meaningful actions, and discover actionable strategies to manage negative emotions, elicit positive ones, and break the cycles of self-sabotage. Drawing from research on the brain's approach and avoidance systems, we unpack how your emotional responses shape your behaviors and beliefs. This episode is packed with insights to help you develop a positive emotional toolkit that empowers you to navigate challenges, regulate stress, and move toward thriving. Key Takeaways: Emotions Are a Compass: Emotions guide us toward what matters most in life. Instead of resisting them, use them to identify areas needing action or reflection. Dual Role of the Brain: The right hemisphere activates avoidance (fear and fight-or-flight), while the left hemisphere focuses on approach (reward and curiosity). Recognizing these systems helps us navigate emotions more effectively. Self-Sabotage Explained: Your brain aligns behaviors with your core beliefs. Limiting beliefs often lead to self-sabotage because they feel "safe" and familiar. Emotional Toolkit: Build resilience by incorporating daily practices like humor, savoring positive memories, music, and acts of service. Positive Emotions Expand Capacity: Research shows that positive emotions enhance problem-solving, connection, and resilience (Fredrickson, 2001). Practical Tools: Humor and Laughter: Engage with content or people that make you laugh to release feel-good chemicals. Savoring Memories: Recall joyful experiences and visualize them vividly to access positive emotions. Create a “Happy Button”: Associate a physical touchpoint with positive emotions to activate them in stressful moments. Use Music and Nature: Play uplifting songs or spend time in nature to calm your nervous system and elicit joy. Acts of Kindness: Helping others not only benefits them but also boosts your own well-being.

We examine research-backed strategies for developing emotional awareness, practicing self-compassion, engaging in mindfulness, and cultivating a supportive community—“emotional spotters”—to help us handle life’s ups and downs.

Remember, resilience is a learned skill—just like a muscle—and even small increments of growth are worth celebrating. Key Topics Covered Defining emotional resilience and why it matters The “Resilient by Design” approach: incremental growth and mindset shifts Emotional awareness: recognizing, labeling, and understanding your feelings Self-compassion as a cornerstone of resilience Mindfulness practices for staying present and reducing emotional reactivity The power of supportive networks or “emotional spotters” in times of stress Overcoming the extra challenges trauma survivors face when building resilience Strategies like safe space visualization, somatic therapy, and breath work for trauma-informed resilience Timestamped Chapters 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction 00:34 – Overview of the “Resilient by Design” Series 03:45 – Emotional Resilience: Definition & Importance 05:16 – Aligning Emotional Resilience with Personal Goals & Values 07:09 – Why Emotional Resilience ≠ Burying Emotions 08:08 – Embracing Difficult Emotions as Data (Dr. Susan David) 12:41 – Building Emotional Resilience: Evidence-Based Techniques 13:15 – Emotional Awareness & “Permission to Feel” (Dr. Mark Brackett) 16:05 – Cultivating Self-Compassion 19:16 – Treating Yourself as a Friend: The Power of Self-Kindness 21:42 – Mindfulness, Presence, & Living in the Moment 25:39 – Supportive Networks as “Emotional Spotters” 28:04 – Trauma’s Impact on Emotional Regulation & Relationship-Building 30:22 – Overcoming Trauma Challenges with Safe Space & Somatic Work I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

Send us a text In this episode we explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can help high achievers heal their inner wounds, live more authentically, and find balance. I discuss the IFS concept of parts, such as exiles, managers, and firefighters, and how understanding these roles can lead to profound self-compassion and healing. This episode also includes a guided exercise for using IFS to connect with and heal your inner self. Key Takeaways : Understanding IFS : Internal Family Systems identifies "parts" within us, our exiles (wounded parts), and our protective parts such as managers and firefighters and how they interact.

10:10

Send us a text In this episode of the Permission to Love podcast, I walkyou through a powerful exercise to challenge the limiting belief that you need to meet certain criteria to be worthy of love. As a part of the episode I guides you through four reflective questions that will help you uncover where these beliefs come from, how they affect you, and how to finally let them go. If you’re struggling with self-love, this episode offers a pathway to begin releasing those burdensome beliefs and reclaim your self-worth. Key Takeaways: 1.Make a list of what you believe needs to be true for you to be worthy of love. 2.Reflect on whether you apply this list to others and ask if you’d hold them to the same standards. 3.Examine the origin of your belief system around love and worthiness. 4.Visualize who you would be without this list of conditions. 5.Let go of the list through a personal release practice (burn, tear, or mentally release). Practical Exercise: •Ask yourself these four key questions to challenge your limiting beliefs about worthiness and love. •Engage in a physical or mental act of letting go, such as tearing up the list or declaring your release from it. Quotes from the Episode: •“There is no list of what you need to do or who you need to be in order to be worthy of love. You are inherently worthy of love because you exist.” •“Who would you be without that list? Probably free to love yourself without excuses.” Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction and Welcome 01:00 – The Limiting Belief Around Worthiness 01:31 – Exercise: Writing Your List of What Needs to Be True for Worthiness 02:03 – Why This Exercise is Important 02:36 – Question 2: Would You Apply These Criteria to Others? 03:08 – Question 3: Where Did These Beliefs Come From? 04:04 – Understanding the Source of the Worthiness Belief 05:38 – Question 4: Who Would You Be Without This List? 07:10 – Letting Go of the List: Steps to Release 08:30 – Recap of the Exercise and Key Takeaways 09:19 – Final Thoughts and Call to Action I am grateful you are here, Jerry Setup Your FREE Strategy Call: Schedule Call 🔗 Access the course "Learning How to Love Yourself" here: Access Course How is your relationship with yourself going?

Send us a text In this episode I share insights into one of the toughest challenges for high achievers: letting go of control. Many of us feel the need to control every outcome, situation, and person in our lives, which leads to exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout. Join me as I share how letting go of control can bring peace and allow space for creativity and growth. Learn simple, actionable tips to help you trust the process, relax your nervous system, and focus on what you can control: yourself.

Start small—delegate tasks and let go of micromanaging to build trust in the process.
