Giving up is always an option, but not always a failure - Cameron Conaway.

In this episode we explore the idea of quitting as negative but went on to talk about some areas we thought were critical to be able to confidently quit in.

This episode is inspired by the book The Emotionally healthy woman by Geri Scazerro.

Areas identified as things would like to stop doing:

Quit being afraid of what others think

Key to be able to separate between caring what other people think on what's actually important and being afraid of facing the perceptions of ourselves through other people's lenses.

Don't be driven by fear and where fear is identified as a factor, pause and ask if this is healthy and/or does this serve you.

Quit over functioning

Going into superwoman mode has been historically applauded? How healthy or sustainable is living and doing life in this state? We discuss a number of scenarios that contribute to over functioning and some of the symptoms that may arise from operating from this place especially over a long period of time.

Points to think about - when operating from a place of over functioning:

Step back, and pause
Ask yourself, am I playing to my strengths?
Is what I'm focussing on going to help me achieve my desired outcomes?

Quit denying anger, sadness and fear

How do we handle our emotions?

Do we take a healthy approach to being aware of or managing our emotions?

What stories are we living for ourselves and for the children within our sphere of influence about giving awareness to, care of and processing our emotions?

We are emotional beings and suppressing our range of emotions is not only detrimental but counterproductive and impacts on all areas of our lives.

Learning how to quit those things that do not serve us is a useful discussion for us to have in order to navigate doing life well.

Welcome to the DaybyDay Insights where we hope to inspire, bring joy and insightful conversations on real issues that affect everyday people by promoting happiness-health, personal and professional development and tips to become the best version of ourselves through this journey of self discover to live life well.

Today’s topic is about finding your purpose / passion in life.

What gives us joy in life? How can we show up and be the best version of ourselves by sharing our talents? How can we take what we have learned and serve others through what we have; and hopefully make a great living to provide for our families and/or contribute to causes in which we believe?

We acknowledge everyone will approach this topic differently depending on experience, life circumstances and managing different priorities. Living a purposeful life although not easy, it is achievable with desire, curiosity, and a commitment to ourselves.

Join us as we discuss and unpick four ways to discover or further develop a purposeful life.

1. What do you love to do?

2. What does the world need?

3. Can you be paid (fulfillment from self-identified goal/outcome)?

4. What do you do well?

We believe strongly that when you’re living a purpose-driven life this will make you, those within your network who want the best for you and the world a happy and healthier place for all of us to enjoy and experience the beauty that life has to offer.

This approach helps us one purpose at a time, create the kind of world we want to live in and the kind of world that future generations will embrace and take care of.

Today’s topic is one very dear to us, Cultivating Confidence.

This battle of perceived and real identities isn’t only something you and I may encounter but people we may think have it all together battle with this as well. I recently listened to a discussion with one of my fav artists, Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine, she shares her experience of overcoming challenges, “personal anxieties” and how she grapples with imposter syndrome in that she has personal thoughts that people may come along and tell you that this new life or this peaceful life that you’ve created is a lie and we know who you really are and everything that you’ve built for yourself could get taken away!”

The British Social Attitudes Survey asked questions about Body Confidence. Some of the findings are worth noting that 37% of adult women and 26% of men are dissatisfied with their appearance; for women, this can remain an issue across all life stages.

So what that means is nearly half of adults think that how you look affects what you can achieve in life and around one-in-three believe that “your value as a person depends on how you look”.

In this Podcast we discuss this and share our thoughts on how we can cultivate confidence in our own little way.

Hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing what you think.
