Words have power. We can either use negative words or positive words. Negative words hold us back. Positive words propel us forward. The language we use with ourselves internally and with the world at large has a major impact on who we become. They can keep us struggling or they can empower us to strive for high achievement and a better life for ourselves and the world. There is power in getting into a routine or habit of positive self-talk.  You can learn more about my healing and coaching services at https://heididellaire.com/work-with-me I look forward to hearing from you.

Are you an overly empathetic person? If so, you may have run into this problem before. I sure used to before I learned some healthier boundaries. When you take on another person‘s emotions or baggage as your own, it is very easy to lose yourself in the process. Where many empathetic people have a difficult time turning on and off their empathy, it is necessary to a certain extent or else you run the risk of ruining your own life and happiness. So, is your empathy preventing you from living your life?  I would love to hear from you about this episode or anything else that is on your mind.   Reach out via email at hello@heididellaire.com Book a Heal Your Story Breakthrough Intensive https://heididellaire.com/work-with-me --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healyourstory/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healyourstory/support

I've added a new 4-minute section to the beginning of an older and significant episode. "Easier Said Than Done: A Sign of Self-Betrayal and Resistance to Change. This recast is timely to current events. If you want your life to be different, you have to make it happen. Nothing is going to improve your life if you aren’t willing to make changes. YOU have to go out and DO!  Let’s walk through the phrase “easier said than done” to understand why we instantly respond this way when we feel like something is too hard to do. It’s actually a phrase of self-betrayal.  This episode may make some feel a little edgy and that is because you have continually put your life on hold instead of taking any action…getting caught up in the feeling that something is too hard to do.  Please stick with me on this one. I am here to help. Start small. Baby steps to change or change your life.  Join me on November 16th for a one-time-only event for More Joy. Less Stress. Holiday Anxiety Buster.
