Sometimes no matter what we do, life throws us curve balls. Recently, I found myself back in the hospital (I had spent 13 days there last year) in a pretty scary situation. I felt a whole range of emotions, from fear to frustration to disappointment to overwhelm, and even some helplessness. 😣 Because of the years and years of training I’ve had to help others and of me having my own life coach, I was able to manage in what I consider a mentally healthy way. Instead of spiraling into anxiety, fear and overwhelm, I leaned on three powerful life coaching tools to stay calm, process my emotions, and get through it with more ease. I come on this week (from the hospital, so please excuse the audio!) to highlight them for you so you can find ease when life goes upside down for you. In this episode, I walk you through: - The What If? CBT tool and how it shifts anxious thoughts - The Zoom In, Zoom Out method to gain perspective - Clean pain vs. dirty pain and why it matters All of us face uncertainty and things that are out of our control (especially now 😬). These life coaching tools really work. Humaning can be hard yet learning these (and using them) are what I use when things go bad. Listen in to this episode of the Love Your Life Show to help you navigate life’s challenges with more peace and confidence. Learn how to take control of your mindset—even in the hardest moments. Job loss, health diagnoses, teenage drama, marital problems, divorce,  you name it, I’ve used these tools for it. 💙 If you liked this show, you’ll like this one: What if on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/what-if/id1434429161?i=1000568069716 What if on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/4X9aSg2YOSbgaxchBPE7vJ?si=4e5e85b2c49c41d6 Feel Better Fast on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/feel-better-fast-flip-it/id1434429161?i=1000598692640 Feel Better Fast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/0UuyHJ0O1C5RNDTrHjFeJb?si=f0ffc9db2e2e4b1e Dirty Pain on Apple Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/dirty-pain/id1434429161?i=1000467951959 Dirty Pain on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/episode/7lCyv2rAoeoL3yA7yRp7Iz?si=d6261d8c3c0d4087 To read more and peruse the full show notes, go here 👉🏾 https://SMBwell.com/349 CONNECT WITH COACH SUSIE: ↻ Website - https://smbwell.com ↻ The Love Your Life School Membership - http://theLoveYourLifeSchool.com ↻ Support Susie’s Mission: https://patreon.com/susiepettit ↻ YouTube - LOVE YOUR LIFE VLOG - YouTube https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW9PibXJfNpKk5Yr6rpNVq4P_utWFkvYS ↻ Instagram - https://instagram.com/smb.wellness The post Hospital Stay: Life Coaching Tools for Anxiety that WORK appeared first on Susie Pettit.
