Summary: EPISODE 8<br> <br> <br> <br> In this episode, we talk about INDULGENCE... being close to the Holidays and all ;-)<br> <br> Don’t get me wrong… I’m not about to tell you to resist and hold back on everything, and I completely support ENJOYING the holiday pleasures.<br> <br> HOWEVER, if you DO indulge but then some time afterward you find yourself feeling GUILT or some SHAME bubbles up for you … then listen for how to find your freedom by ACKNOWLEDGING what you were ACTUALLY seeking.<br> <br> And by the way, this doesn’t ONLY apply to food, it applies to ANY kind of pleasure… I mean, the OBVIOUS ones are alcohol, caffeine, sugar, sex, shopping, drugs… but it ALSO applies to things like seeking external validation in certain ways.<br> <br> Hear about the connection to INSTANT GRATIFICATION and why it'll NEVER satisfy you.<br> <br> I also share my over-indulging story.<br> <br> See if you relate to how, in front of certain people we tend to behave in ways that NEVER feel good later, but we find ourself in a cycle of always doing it.<br> <br> Great news! We don’t have to completely sacrifice pleasure in our lives, in fact, if we practice what I like to call CONSCIOUS INDULGENCE, then we can enjoy ALL the things without the guilt.<br> <br> I describe it and give examples of how you can do this in YOUR life.<br> <br> Personal Excellence Mastery is not about denying yourself pleasure, it’s about making the feel-good-now choices ALSO give you feel-good-later results.<br> <br> You'll hear how to self-soothe in a way that feels GOOD, feels ON PURPOSE, and serves you later - not just in the moment.<br> <br> ‘Tis the season for yummy things and people and purchases… Now go forth and CONSCIOUSLY INDULGE!<br> <br> I believe in you,<br> Jenifer Merifield<br> Personal Excellence Mentor & Coach<br> <br> Website: JeniferMerifield.com | IG: @JeniferMerifield
