Have you ever found yourself trapped in the struggle of procrastination, despite all your good intentions to stay committed to your goals? You, my friend, are not alone. My own journey back to the gym, after months on the back-burner, was a stark reminder of how easy it is to fall into the procrastination trap. But, with determination and a sprinkle of love, we can reframe our mindset and create a balance in our lives.

Now, let's dive into a concept that's often overlooked - buffering. It's our mind's sneaky way of keeping us in our comfort zone, leading us down the procrastination path. Are you reaching for that extra snack, indulging in online shopping, or spending hours on Netflix? That's your mind buffering. But guess what? You can train your brain to focus, to choose what's best for you over fleeting pleasures. This week, let's consciously identify our false pleasures and create a plan to tackle them head-on. Join us in the faith-led Military Woman Community on Facebook for additional support, and if this episode resonated with you, do share it with another military sister. Help us spread the word and inspire more women to overcome burnout. Let's stay determined and motivated, together.

Today's episode, it's all about allowing your loved ones to allow their emotions. Yes, even the negative ones! It's so important to understand that even our family or close loved ones will have to experience emotional pain. As women that are wired to not talk or share emotions and or are naturally nurturers we sometimes unintentionally offer our loved ones to avoid negative emotions or simply distract them from it. I discuss the ways we typically try to help them feel better (at least that's what we think) and offer what you should do instead. I pray this episode blesses you and if you'd like to take this a step further and take care of your mental health schedule a free consultation session with me.  We will uncover what you need help with and make a plan on what you want to invest your time and focus on.
