#181: Balance Your Thoughts

In this episode, Lara discusses some personal experiences, how we process feelings, and ways we can balance our thoughts. She address what it means to assess your emotions with “And, Or, But… and It’s Possible.”

Sadness, anger, loss, and pain are basic emotions of life. Dealing with them effectively can be a struggle and it can be tempting to act on those feelings right away. Often that impulse doesn’t fix the situation that caused the emotions. In fact, it may lead to more problems to deal with later on.

So why not do something about it? 

Giving yourself the space to question the state of your mind can drastically change your state of being and, when reciprocated, does the same for your significant others. Find out a few ways to balance your thoughts in this episode!
