Why Support is so Important - and how to get it | Life and Path Episode 6
Send a text Welcome to the Life and Power podcast. I'm Danlye Jones. And today we are talking about why support is so important. And if you don't have enough of it, how you can get it to deal with the things that are going on in your life. So if you are going through a stressful time, especially a maximum stress time, a family member is dealing with something that is hard for you to deal with, like alcoholism or some other issue.Shame and SecretsAnd it makes you feel shame because you don't want to be associated with that. You're in a toxic job. You just went through a breakup, the death of a loved one. Sometimes we have this tendency, especially if you're like me, to go inward, to try and handle it, to try and fix it on your own. And it is so lonely to be in that place.So Why Haven't You Told Anyone?And so I have a question for you. If something is going on in your life, who have you told not? Who can fix this for you? Because that's not what we're looking for. But who have you told? Is there someone in your life that you can think of right now that you trust, that you haven't told? And why not?Studies Prove That Social Support Strengthens Stress Resilience And having a quality support system isn't just was nice to have thing the studies prove it. The studies prove that it helps enhance our resilience to stress. And don't we all need that? Don't we all need help with that? I know I do. I know I will take anything I can to reduce the stress in my life, or at least make it feel like it is less crushing.Study Cited: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2921311/Real Life ExamplesAnd that's what quality support does. So I want to give you a couple examples from my life to help illustrate it. So last year I had a family member that was going through some stuff and I felt really alone in it, and I felt really like I had to handle it and like I had to sort of be like the bed for what was going on with them. And I was having my own feelings about it and trying to deal with it and trying to work through it. But for a while I just didn't tell anybody outside of my family. Like I didn't tell friends. And I was like, I need to I need to sort this. Something I did differently then was I was like, No, this isn't a thing for me to feel ashamed about.What Happened When I Reached OutI started to detach my shame from it and reached out to a friend and said, Hey, I just need to tell you this. I don't need you to do anything, but I just need someone to hear that this is going on in my life. And I sent them a text and I told them what was going on. And I got a really kind and thoughtful text back from them. And I felt heard and I felt better. And the feeling that was over me lost its power. And I told another friend same thing. The feeling that was over me lost its power and my friends knew what I was dealing with when I was with them. And I think that helped formulate a context for our interactions, right? Like, this is a thing I'm dealing with doing the best I can.We didn't spend time sitting deeply in it, but it was just known and I felt supported and I felt like I had given that vulnerability to them and the relationships got closer. Another example. I was dealing with something professionally that sucked and it was hard. And it was it was meant to be something and formulated in a way that was something that I was dealing with.You Don't Need to Feel AloneAnd I took that on like, Hey, this is my responsibility. I am dealing with this. I need to figure a way out. I confided in a friend of what was going on and I still kept it close and I still held on to it and felt shame around it, felt anger. And then I started to tell more trusted friends lik

Do something scary (and live your life!) Episode 5
Send a text Welcome to the Life and Path podcast. When was the last time that you did something that was scary, that kind of scary? That is something that you want to do, that it's worth it. That kind of scary one is the last time that you set up a challenge for yourself and you said, I'm going to do this. Today is the day. Did you meet that challenge? Did you come up to the challenge, get really close and then back away? Did you find some reason, some perfectly good reason that you shouldn't do it? Or did you cross over that threshold and do it? We're going to be talking today about crossing over that threshold and doing it and what is on the other side of it. And something scary that I did today coming up to that threshold of scary, that place where you're like, I could do it, I could do it. I'm not going to do it. Like, how many times have you come up to that threshold if you've passed it? What do you do when you pass it? Is there something else where you're coming up to the threshold and you're not passing it? What do we do when we get to that point where we're like, I could do it? What are the feelings that come up? Sometimes it's this unreasonable, like terror. Like, if I, if I post that, if I record that video of myself playing music, if I record that video of myself or social media I have been wanting to do, if I say that thing I've been wanting to say it's going to cost me right. Your body and your mind are like, No, no, no. Tomorrow, tomorrow. And it's so hard. It's so hard. Today I went past that threshold. I have been waiting to go live on TikTok. You can follow me at Life and Path. And when I did it, it was not a big deal. Like no one cared. I was full of adrenaline. I was shaking. I was completely red. And it's so funny because I've posted like, hundreds of videos. But the thought of going live was like, What's going to happen? What's going to be on the other side of that? Are people going to be mean? Is there something there? Am I going to be seen like there's a lot of things that your brain walks through in an effort to try to keep you safe? And so I decided, okay, I really know how to do this painting thing. Like I used to sell paintings full time, shipped them all over the world. I am getting back into it and doing it, and it's feeling really good. And I'm like, I'm going to I'm going to share that. I'm going to do some painting and I'm going to share my paintings and let's just do it. Let's let's talk about mental health. Let's let's share paintings. And so after a whole bunch of planning, I decided like, Yep, we're going live. We're going to do this. And I get everything set up and I'm looking at that go live button. And it's terrifying to press that button. I'm like, I don't know, I couldn't explain to you what I was feeling. So you know what I did? I, I was going to walk upstairs and just kind of walk away from it. And then I saw the cat and she was inquisitive. She just kind of wondering what I was doing. And I'm like, I'm going to I'm going to pick that cat up and I'm going to hold the cat while I press go live. So I picked up the cat. I picked up the cat and I pressed go live. And I just I was there with the cat. Well, it was doing its thing. So if you ever wanting to go live it, it starts like building an audience for you. And it takes like a minute, like 30 seconds to a minute. And so you're not sure what you should be doing. But in that moment I'm like, Well, hold my cat. Here we go. And so after about a minute, you kind of see like people start to join and like, your worst fear is like, people are going to be awful to you, right? Like, and how do you handle that? Because it's just it goes with that. It's part of the part of the game. That's what happens. But it just was like, okay, people are joining. These people are joining. People are leaving. I put on the cat. I pick up my paintbrush.

I want to share what helped me navigate through it. We're not out of the woods, but these strategies made a difference.Coping Strategies for Overwhelm 00:31 - 00:55 If you're feeling overwhelmed, unable to catch a break, and the usual coping methods aren't working, I've been there. In this episode, I'll share what's been helping me. If this resonates, grab a free anxiety tip sheet at lifeandpath.com/anxiety.Navigating Loneliness and Pain 00:55 - 01:20 Life can be overwhelming. I get it. I've felt the loneliness and pain. If you're going through a tough time, know that you're not alone. I've compiled a list of things that have personally helped me.Emotional Awareness and Journaling 01:20 - 01:46 First, acknowledge your feelings. Sit with the emotion, understand its impact. Avoid the quick fix of social media. Instead, consider expressing your emotions through journaling. It worked wonders for me, providing relief and a fresh perspective.Creativity as Catharsis 01:46 - 02:11 Sometimes, traditional outlets like therapy or talking to loved ones may not be enough. I hit a wall despite trying everything. Out of frustration, I wrote down my grievances, allowing the emotions to flow out. Try it – it might be the release you need.Summary: Unique Self-Expression 02:11 - 02:36 In summary, maybe what you need isn't more information but something beautiful and uniquely yours. Let it out. Express the pain through creativity. It's cathartic and essential for your well-being.Taking Breaks for Resilience 02:36 - 03:08 Another approach is taking a break. Even in the midst of life's challenges, find moments of respite. I attended a concert during a difficult time, and it brought unexpected magic. Schedule moments like these, create life-affirming memories.Life Beyond Grief: Embracing Distraction 03:08 - 03:37 Life is more than just grief. Don't let depression dictate your actions. Go out, meet friends, experience different energies. Embrace distraction and build new memories. It can be pivotal in shifting your perspective.Positive Self-Talk: Smiling in the Mirror 03:37 - 04:04 A small but impactful practice is smiling at yourself in the mirror. Try the high-five habit. Celebrate your efforts, even if it feels forced initially. Positive self-talk, especially during tough times, can be transformative.Nourishing Your Body: Greens and Nutrition 04:04 - 04:29 Don't neglect nutrition. Ensure you're getting greens for essential nutrients. Even if you're stressed and busy, incorporate them into your diet. It's not about weight loss but nourishing your body during challenging times.Self-Focus and Improvement 04:29 - 04:53 Focus on yourself. It's easy to get caught up in what others should do, but prioritize your needs. Make that appointment, take that walk. Redirect your energy towards self-improvement and avoid unnecessary distractions.Summary: Strategies for Relief 04:53 - 05:12 To sum it up, these are the strategies that helped me find some relief and resilience during the heaviest weeks of my life. If you're going through a tough time, know that you can come up for air. Keep hope alive, be kind to yourself, and remember, you're not alone.Disclaimer and Well-Wishes 05:12 - 14:33 Disclaimer: I'm not a therapist or a
