Ep. #17: 50-50: How to Embrace the Positive and Accept the Negative
I’m coming off the back of a pretty crazy week. Between taking my daughter-in-law to the hospital, my husband being in a minor car accident, and noticing some fraud on my bank account, I was also grappling with the launch of my new program. It was a week full of emotion, for sure. However, it really reaffirmed my belief in today’s topic.
Life throws a lot of challenges our way and it’s impossible to feel totally positive 100% of the time. However, if we embrace the idea that every aspect of life has to be 50% good and 50% bad, then we will always be well-equipped to cope when things start going in a direction we didn’t expect.
Tune in this week as I share why, even though we want it, nothing in life is ever 100% positive for long, and how accepting the inevitability that we will experience negative emotion will help you avoid reaching for that cupcake when things do get stressful.
And here are this week’s transformational questions:
- What if you knew it was always going to be 50-50 and the cupcake would never change it?
- What if you could expect negative emotion? What would it change for you?
What You’ll Discover:
- Why life is supposed to be 50% good and 50% bad.
- How our lizard brain tries to keep us happy 100% of the time.
- The ways I see people struggle to accept the negative 50% of life.
- How you can embrace the 50-50 balance and avoid buffering, even when things around you seem stressful.
