Uniquely Brilliant Podcast

Becky and Diana give strategies to adapt to a new normal in the face of change. 

• The uncomfortable feeling associated with change often makes it seem bad.
• Shifting your perspective to accept change makes it easier.
• Change can either be by choice or thrust upon you.
• Resistance creates a smaller, tighter, less flexible existence.
• There are two sides to “What if?”
  • What if it goes wrong? - and - What if it goes right?
• When we choose the easy way, we can find ourselves surrendering our power to someone else.
• Change and growth don’t happen when you’re comfortable.
• Having to delay gratification because you want to know how it’s going to turn out makes change frustrating.
• Our New Normal develops at the speed of our acceptance of the change.

Becky and Diana explore the effects of carrying around extra luggage in our lives.

• When you travel light you have room to acquire new experiences and things.
• Luggage comes in many forms: physical, emotional, mental, and relational.
• Tolerating things and situation takes up time and energy and slow you down.
• Often we don’t take care of things until they are extremely painful or problematic.
• Urgency can be an artificial construct.
• Get rid of your excess baggage by setting boundaries, delegating, or simply purging.
• Letting go of things (and people) creates space and makes you feel lighter.
• Expectations can set you up to carry extra baggage.
• If you can’t get rid of your baggage by yourself ask for help.
• Don’t let the weight of your baggage hold you back. Let it go.
