EP45 - How to Find Joy Again in 5 Easy Steps

Are you struggling to feel Joy? Would you like some tips for how to find joy again?

Life has a way of throwing life altering events at us and it can feel as if we are never going to feel joy again. Maybe you are experiencing some tough times and want to figure out how to do just that.

I have been there. More than once. Feeling lost, struggling to feel joy, and feeling like I would never be the same person again. It's a difficult place to be. It hurts, it's hard, and it can be devastating to relationships and your family to experience you not being your normal happy self.

I don't advocate just being happy to be happy. Toxic positivity is NOT the goal here. However, you can find Joy in your life even if things are a struggle. Even if you have experienced pain or disappointment that sits heavy on your heart.

Listen to episode 45 for 5 steps and a few small, easy exercises that will help you reframe your thoughts about Joy and find glimpses of the Joy I know you can find again!

Imagine having deeper connections, feeling less anxiety and overwhelm, gaining clarity, and fully trusting yourself.

Picture yourself not just surviving, but truly thriving.

It’s time to take the first step towards a fulfilling and joyful life. It doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful!

EP44 – 13 Natural Ways to Reduce Anxiety

Anxiety is a natural part of life. Most of us find ourselves feeling anxiety every now and then but recover quickly. What do you do when your normal way of coping isn’t working the same?

This episode we explore natural ways to reduce anxiety that are low cost, low barrier, ways to reduce stress and anxiety. There are several you may have already considered, but I hope to introduce you to a few new ways to reduce your anxiety and find calm again.

If you are stuck inside all day, you may find grounding or earthing to be most helpful. If you are constantly dealing with people, you may find using healing frequency or music is most rewarding for you. Listen to the entire episode and think through which tools you think would work best for your unique situation.

Many of the tools I talk about are tools I use as a coach. A few I use often for my own anxiety busting rituals. All of them are worth trying yourself!

When you are feeling anxiety, it often comes with overwhelm and nobody enjoys being in that state for very long. Sometimes it can take using several tools at the same time to reduce your anxiety.

I would love to hear what anxiety busting tools you use! Feel free to drop comments on my Instagram or email me. I love hearing what tools are working for you and it’s always interesting learning about new tools I haven’t used yet.
