Today's Heartlift with Janell
Sometimes the story we tell ourselves is not really true. Sometimes the story others tell about us is not really true. On "Today's Heartlift with Janell," Author, Trauma-informed, board-certified marriage and family specialist, and Professional Heartlifter, Janell Rardon, opens conversations about how emotional health and mental fitness effects absolutely every area of our lives. When we possess and practice healthy, strong, resilient emotional health practices, life is so much better. Read Janell's newest book, "Stronger Every Day: 9 Tools for an Emotionally Healthy You."
Today's Heartlift with Janell
252. Do You Have a Glimmer Block?
"In the tapestry of our busy lives, the art of mindful living emerges as a guiding thread, leading us toward a richer, more meaningful existence. Mindfulness, a practice rooted in ancient traditions and now validated by modern science, serves as a gateway to heightened awareness of the present moment - a key element in the journey of discovering and appreciating glimmers."
-Heather Alfonso, Glimmers: Cultivating Joy in Everyday Moments
How is your glimmer hunting going? Season 14 invited us to look for glimmers of grace this holiday season. It is important to remember that glimmers are micro-moments of joy: unexpected delight and surprising visitations of beauty. But, as we are learning, there can be blocks to our awareness of glimmers: cognitive distortions. In today's episode, we talk about:
- Magnification and Minimization
- Catastrophizing and Comparing
- Overgeneralization
- Magical Thinking
This week's podcast prompt: As you recall past glimmers in your life, do you recognize a theme? This discovery unfolds your signature personal glimmer.
