In this episode, I dive into why positive affirmations sometimes fall flat and explore the key to making your thoughts and intentions actually stick and create real change in your life. Episode Highlights: Why jumping straight to big affirmations can backfire and create more stress The affirmation ladder technique: building believable steps toward your goals The importance of clearing the way and being open to releasing old beliefs Your "negative" thoughts and habits are often trying to help or protect you in some way What it means to "feed" your dreams instead of unconsciously nourishing your problems Why resistance and uncomfortable emotions are actually part of the manifesting process Practical steps for identifying what's blocking your affirmations from taking hold Compassion and curiosity toward yourself accelerate the process more than force ever will Find the original blog post for this episode at: closertowhole.com/positive-thoughts-and-affirmations Remember: Making affirmations stick isn't about believing harder or repeating them more often. It's about meeting yourself where you are, building believable bridges to where you want to be, and being willing to clear away what's no longer serving you. Your thoughts are powerful, but they work best when paired with emotional alignment and genuine self-compassion. Trust the process, feed your dreams, and watch as your new reality begins to unfold naturally. Did you find this episode helpful?

In this episode, I explore our complex relationship with time and how shifting your mindset can transform your experience from overwhelm to empowerment. Episode Highlights: Why "I don't have enough time" is often a story we tell ourselves that creates more stress How fear of making the wrong choices keeps us stuck in cycles of busyness and distraction The difference between being busy and being productive toward what actually matters Why both constant busyness and avoidance are forms of distraction from deeper feelings How to identify the real emotions behind your time anxiety and what they're trying to tell you The power of deliberately deciding how you want to spend your time instead of living on autopilot Key Takeaways: Most people have never consciously decided how they actually want to spend their time Getting clear on what truly matters to you is the first step to feeling in control of your schedule Creating space and presence allows you to experience time differently Your relationship with time is a choice—and you have the power to change it Find the original blog post for this episode at: closertowhole.com/too-much-to-do Remember: You actually do have time—what you might be missing is clarity on what deserves your precious hours and energy. When you align your daily actions with what truly matters to you, overwhelm transforms into purposeful living. Time will start to feel abundant when you're spending it meaningfully.

In this episode, I dive into the fifth and final Reiki principle—be kind to others—and explore how true kindness goes beyond simple gestures to become a transformative way of being. Episode Highlights: What it really means to be kind: moving beyond transactional kindness to unconditional compassion Why kindness isn't about what you get back—it's about how you choose to show up The difference between surface-level nice gestures and deep, authentic kindness How practicing true kindness creates inner freedom and connects you to your authentic self Why extending kindness regardless of how others treat you is actually empowering, not weak Kindness is a pathway to healing and living more aligned with your true essence For a full overview of all five Reiki principles, check out the earlier episodes, or find the original blog post here: closertowhole.com/reiki-principles Find the original blog post for this episode at: closertowhole.com/how-to-be-kind Remember: Kindness isn't about being perfect or always getting it right. It's about choosing compassion, even when it's challenging. True kindness starts with being gentle with yourself and extends naturally to others. When you practice authentic kindness without expecting anything in return, you free yourself from the weight of resentment and create space for genuine connection and healing.

In this episode, I dive into the second Reiki principle focused on worry and how we can transform it from a burden into a helpful signal for positive change. Episode Highlights: Understanding worry as a natural emotion that serves as a signal rather than something to be suppressed or ignored How unaddressed worry escalates and becomes more powerful over time Why the feelings associated with worry are often more challenging than the actual events we worry about Practical strategies for responding to worry instead of letting it control you Key Takeaways: The Nature of Worry: Worry is a normal human emotion that can be useful when properly understood and addressed Breaking the Worry Cycle: Learn how to interrupt patterns of worry before they overwhelm you Action vs. Inaction: Why taking action on your worries helps resolve them, while ignoring them makes them louder Body Awareness: How worry manifests physically and creates energy blockages Mindset Shifts: Techniques for questioning and reframing worrisome thoughts Trigger Recognition: Identifying what consistently activates your worry response Embracing Action: Moving from worry paralysis to purposeful action For an overview of the five Reiki principles, check out the earlier episode, or find the original blog post here: closertowhole.com/reiki-principles Find the original blog post for this episode at: closertowhole.com/getting-worried Remember: Worry doesn't have to control your life—it's simply a messenger bringing attention to areas that need your care.
