Live Mindfully with Lori Moore

Brene Brown, renowned Shame Researcher, has a wonderful boundary mantra: "say yes to discomfort and no to resentment".

In today's episode I am sharing my experience with the silent boundary method. This method was something I started about 5 years ago and it has worked miracles in my relationships, especially the one I have with myself.

To achieve the Silent Boundary Method, we need to normalise three things:
1) Saying no without justification and extra details
2) Creating space before giving an answer IE "I'll need to check some things and if it's a yes, I'll come back to you"
3) Letting the other person have their response - disappointment, anger, upset; without taking it on board ~ this is by far the hardest, but if we learn to accept and expect this, we won't see other people's response as proof that we can't set boundaries.

Two weeks ago I started researching the Power of Crying. It was during this research that I stumbled across information I had not heard of before - how our environments are made up of both positive and negative ions and how much of an impact these ions are having on our health.

Sit back, relax and prepare to have your mind blown!

In today’s episode I am sharing Part 2 of The Power of Crying. When we Release, we Heal; with a particular focus on why some of us cry more than others and what drives this behaviour.

As it turns out this was not an easy question to answer, with a range of conflicting research and ideas delivered by Psychotherapists, Clinical Psychologists and Biochemists. I have compiled it all here though and hopefully have made some sense out of it for you.

As always, the best expert of you is YOU! So always take any new research with a healthy dose of 'is this true for me'!

In today’s podcast I am sharing the power of crying and as an non-crier myself, this episode was so much deeper for me than any I have recorded so far. This episode taught me the power of releasing on not just a physical, but on an energetic level as well and how much emotion and energy is held in our tears.

When you release, you heal. It’s that simple.

How we come home from a long day sets the tone and energy of our house and how the people who live there react to us when we arrive.

Mary Oliver: The Summer Day
Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean —
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down —
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, 
how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

When it comes to feeling our feelings, the intense visceral effect of negative emotions, such as anger, are pretty hard to conjure up when we are not in those actual states. 

That’s because feelings like anger are not based in reason or thought, they are deep feeling and emotional reactions that elicit a number of physiological responses, all urging the body to take action to right some perceived wrongdoing. 

Today, I explore why anger leads to confrontation, which inevitably leads to regret and a better way to manage these harder emotions moving forward.
