Love Yourself Up With Jodi Aman

Embrace Yourself Through Kindness Let me go on the record saying I make mistakes. I make mistakes, people! Tons of them. And I feel things: Sadness, anger, frustration from small and big injustices. Yes, I sweat the small stuff sometimes. I don't take care of myself sometimes and other times I am too lazy and selfish when I ought to be helping others more. I'm far from perfect in every possible way. But I don't let my imperfection stop me from embracing ALL OF THAT. It's all me. I believe in having compassion for this human body, these at-times unruly emotions, and my mistake-ridden behavior in its entirety. I embrace all of it, because it is all included in my wholeness. "Embrace yourself" is not some tangeable thing to do. You don't have to like everything. You don't have to "condone" it. To embrace yourself, you have to STOP doing something, that we humans do way too much: negative self-judgment.  This can be confusing, when you notice something you wish that you didn't do. Use the guilt how it is

What do you do when you are really, really worried about someone that you love who is in a lot of pain from depression, loss, illness or any hard time? Worrying brings you down and doesn't help the other person. It validates their pain and it validates that there is something wrong with them. Your worry means that you love them but it doesn't help anyone to stay there. Don't go down and worry and get depressed yourself. Instead love them up to you. You want to help someone with depression, so help them! Instead of worrying about them. Love them up to a happier state by noticing and reflecting back to them the skills and amazingness that you see in them.

Failure is epidemic. Do you know why? It’s not because people are inadequate. It’s because they think they are. We have some impossible standards that we measure ourselves against. And this has us beating ourselves up, blaming ourselves, and notices our deficits, any chance we get. From my experience, we try so hard to get ourselves better, but we forget the way to healing is compassion and forgiveness. So we stay blocked from peace. In this podcast, I am going to explain how to forgive and let go of your past and why you deserve it, plus give you practical steps on how to let go.========================================­===Fan me on FB: http://facebook.com/jodiamanloveFollow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/jodiaman========================================­===Find out about my online anxiety recovery programs:http://givefeartheboot.comhttp://givefearthebootkids.com========================================­===Read summary of How To Forgive and Let Go of Your Past at http://jodiaman.com/forgive-let-go-pa... add

To calm from anxiety in twenty seconds, we have to know why anxiety is sustained in the first place. The biggest reason anxiety stays with us is because of the thoughts in our head.

It's not something that you have to live through forever.  You may not think you can stop the anxiety, but you can. I've walked many people through getting over their anxiety and I know that you can change this.

Who I am? What do I want? What am I supposed to do in the world? How do I find myself? Do you ever ask yourself these questions? These are heavy questions because we think there’s one answer to them. We think there’s one answer to them. And we think we don’t know the answer. Our identity is constantly changing, moment to moment depending on how we feel, what we’re thinking about, and what we’re giving our attention to. This can leave you confused on how to find yourself. We want to know what is important to us in our life, what’s important to us in our world and how to bring that out and have that be part of our interactions. When we notice those things that are really important to us, then we begin to take action with a conscious purpose towards those values. So when you’re asking yourself who you are, just take a little breath. You don’t have to figure it all out. It’s not rocket science. It’s not a big mystery. I'll tell you why and how to find yourself in today's video. Thank you so much for listening! Fa

Nothing is permanent. Everything changes. This is actually the one guarantee in the world. Our guarantee in the world is that things change. Today, I want you to think about change differently so it doesn't take you over, get you down, and have you feeling heavy and worked up. Sometimes, what happens is we’re afraid of change because we're afraid of losing things. We're afraid that if we don't like the new change, we can't go back to how things were before. But, most of the time, you can. You can go back to the old thing. We’re so scared that we don't realize that.Remember, when one opportunity passes, if its meant for you it's going to come back for you again. We don't have to worry so much about it. We just have to trust ourself and live.If you trusted yourself and you felt a little more powerful, change wouldn’t intimidate you like it does now. There are two ways to think about change so you can approach it in a way that's powerful and loving and adventurous and I share them in my video today.Look at those

We’re going to talk about something in this episode that's really dear and near to my heart because I see so many people suffering. Relieving emotional pain is so important for people to feel better so they can stop self harm. When they're suffering so intensely sometimes they decide to hurt themselves. They do something that brings them to the present moment – some tangible pain because the other pain, that emotional pain that they're feeling is so overwhelming, they need to do something about it to relieve the emotional pain. They need to take some kind of action to ground them into the present moment into reality because they're so up in their head, overwhelmed by the anxiety, stress and the sadness – the deep desperate sadness that they’re feeling, so they hurt themselves in some physical way.There's many other things that can take you out of your head, stop self harm, and bring you into the physical. I'm going to share something very simple in this episode that you can do. It’s going to put you in the pr

There’s so much war going on, and then there’s earthquakes and tsunamis and all these other things happening in our world. It can make us feel so overwhelmed and stressed out. Do you know why it’s overwhelming? It's because we feel like it’s happening to us. We have this skill in empathy that we can feel what other people are feeling. When we see people suffering we feel like it's us. Sometimes we get so frozen in this fear and overwhelm that it holds us back from doing things that could help the situations out in the world.

You know that stress, anxiety, and overwhelming feeling we sometimes feel when we weren't even doing anything that caused it? This often leads us to really judge ourselves and think something's wrong with us. We may even think we're crazy or mentally ill. You are not crazy and you are not mentally ill. This is what is happening – You know that our fear is biological. It’s a biological response to something dangerous in our environment or a perceived danger in our environment. What many people don't actually know is the amygdala, that little part of our brain that triggers the p

I was invited to be in a self help movie and feel kind of modest about it. Being modest can hold us back from things that we may want to try because we don't want to share about what we're doing and expose ourselves to people. All day long our brain psyches us out about trying new things. It tells us lies and holds us back.Find out how I handle this when it comes up and what you can do about it when it comes up for you, so that you can take action and do something that you're scared of. Thank you so much for listening!

They're not going to like you. You can't handle it.” Does this sound familiar? This kind of berating is going through our minds all the time. It’s not helping us in this world. This is so awful. Can you imagine if somebody else was saying that to you? You can silence your inner critic. It just takes a little bit of discipline and practice. When that critic comes into your mind, expect it. When you start to doubt and judge yourself negatively, expect it and have some compassion for yourself. We all want some understanding and validation. If

We think that means that we don't love ourselves. I think the problem is we don't really know what loving ourselves means. For me, it means just being in the present moment with myself and not having judgments at all. When we don't judge ourselves, we're having compassion for ourselves. Sometimes we don't like ourselves very much when we’re suffering immensely. But then we really desire people to understand us. Or we might defend our problem sometimes.There is somewhere

Those skills and those talents that you have – fear stops you from sharing those with the world. This doesn’t feel good and it’s really upsetting to you. Many times we hate to think that we’re missing out on stuff, so we just say we don’t really care about it and use excuses like, “there’s just no point.” But, there is a point. There’s a huge purpose to doing all kinds of stuff. Connecting to other people, experiencing new things, and developing ourselves is what life is all about and we don’t want to miss out on that. Here are four things that you could
