Summary: I’ve been wanting to talk about a particular emotion that comes up a lot in my coaching: relief. Relief is the emotion we feel when we finally relax after feeling stressed, tense, tight, or under pressure. Many of my clients talk about wanting to feel relief from something, typically a negative emotion or a stressful circumstance.<br> I’m breaking down relief in this episode and talking about why it’s important to really examine what it is you want relief from. Often, we’re creating stress for ourselves with our thoughts about external circumstances and that’s why we want relief. We think that by changing the thing that’s making us worried, unhappy, or stressed, we’ll finally feel relieved. But relief is often much closer than we think.<br> Listen in as I share some stories about clients who have been seeking relief, what I recommended for them, and what I want you to think about when you’re feeling negative emotions that make you want to seek relief. We’ll also talk about dirty emotions versus clean emotions, locating your emotions in your body, and why joy is the ultimate form of relief.<br> Like what you heard on today’s show? <a href="https://jodymoore.com/free-resources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Join me this week for one of my free webinars!</a> I’ll be answering your questions, talking about how to stop emotionally eating, sharing the secrets of successful mompreneurs, and so much more.
