Jill Bailey MD Life Coaching: From Overwhelm to Abundance

My son and I paused today to admire these beautiful blossoms on our neighbour's tree. And it reminded me of this quote: The human brain is like velcro for negative experiences and teflon for positive experiences. Dr Rick Hanson, PhD.... Do you sometimes look at your life and wonder why it’s not more fulfilling? Are you checking all the boxes, living out your values, but still not feeling happy or joyful? I have discovered that this is how the human brain works, especially our high-achieving professional female brains! We have an inherent negativity bias and scan our world for dangers or threats, missing the beauty because it's not necessary for daily survival. As professional women, we are often unintentionally distracted by thoughts of not being good enough, running the to do list or worried that we are failing somehow. These thoughts bring us away from the moment and are obstacles to feeling a sense of fulfillment and joy. What’s one way to rewire this pattern? Intentionally take in the good. Savour enjoyable moments with your kids or spouse. Enjoy the sounds, sights and smells in nature. Notice and give yourself credit for when something goes well at work. By encouraging our minds to notice the positive, we can rewire our brains to notice these moments unintentionally as well. If you’d like to dive deeper into these concepts and work with me in my FIRST 8 week coaching program that starts Sunday April 25 (only 2 more weeks!!), check out the link in my bio and sign up today! There are only 2 spots left and I will close enrollment Sunday April 18. I’d love to see you there! #lifecoachforwomen #momtruths #christianselfcompassion #selfcompassion #selfcompassioncoaching #thisabundantlife #selfcompassionatechristianwomen #selfcompassionatechristianmoms #mindfulchristian #mindfulwalking #mindfulness

Focusing your attention on your breath brings awareness to the present moment. The kingdom of God inhabits each moment. So often we rush past it, hurrying to the next task or wishing it away. Be here.... In this moment. Allow your soul to bask in the presence of God. It's as close as your breath. #mindfulchristian #mindfulness #lifecoachforwomen #momtruths #christianselfcompassion #selfcompassion #selfcompassioncoaching #thisabundantlife #selfcompassionatechristianwomen #selfcompassionatechristianmoms

For many hardworking moms, we have unintentionally developed a difficult relationship with rest. rest = lazy (unless you earned it with work!) rest = unproductive ... rest = unnecessary rest = uncomfortable Sound familiar? My life coaching teacher has a saying: "Discomfort is the currency of our dreams." As an overachieving perfectionist, it's easy for me to use that perspective as an excuse to ignore my human need for rest and white space. I have too much to do to bother with rest! But What if the challenge here is to rest even if it's uncomfortable? Rest even if you think you don't deserve it? Jon Kabat-Zinn says that meditating on the breath, sitting with yourself for no reason other than to be present in the moment, is a radical act. Who's willing to lean into the discomfort of rest this week?
