Know your ‘why’ -Psychological Tip for when you hit a Mental Roadblock!

Very often we begin something & when obstacles come our way it’s easy to give up. For eg: you start working out, eating healthy but after some heavy indulgence in junk food and/or skipping the gym or missing workouts in a row you want to leave it at that. At this point it’s important to take a step back and write down/consider ‘why’ you started out in the first place.

Same goes for ibaadah/acts of worship. When you struggle to pray, to read Qur’an etc, ask yourself ‘why’ and list down your answers like “prayer helps me recalibrate my day, reading the qur’an calms my soul more than anything’

Make it personal, dig deep & identify your whys. This will strengthen your motivational capabilites during your low days.

May Allah make it easy for all of us. Ameen!

🖤 It’s not just flattery. It’s a velvet-wrapped strategy.

Compliment their ego's weak spot 🎯—and watch them open every door.

Make them feel powerful, admired, seen—and they’ll hand you the crown. This isn't kindness. It’s strategy in silk gloves.

The Greeks used a horse. 🐎 You? Use your words like a dagger in a silk sheath. ⚔️

CatholicMom @catholicmomcommunity has restarted #SmallSucess Thursday!! Cheering for the little moments of life!! My summer has been filled with really learning about myself - my declutter style (thanks @clutterbug_me #Butterfly), how my brain works as I work on becoming a healthier me (thanks @noom #PsychTips and building better prayer habits To that end, my #CMsmallsuccess top 3 are: Dropped my Resting Heart Rate to 68 bpm from 78 bpm in May (mostly from getting up every hour and moving - not marathoning, just laps around the living room!); Bought a jewelry tree, and moved a literal PILE of baubles off my bureau; and Spent 2 blissful hours, outside, in the shade, a cool breeze in my face, at Eucharistic Adoration - all.by.myself (& Jesus, of course)! Your Turn… we can’t WAIT to celebrate your small successes this week!

Felt good about myself, took a photo 🤩 Today in my @noom program we talked about high stress = high cortisol and how to control that cortisol. I'm a super stressed person and get stressed way to easily 🤷‍♀️ so I learned some #psychtips that resonated and I wanted to share 😁 . 1. "Oh well" stress statement - you're not giving up or waving the white flag🏳. You acknowledge how you feel and save it for later. #motivationmantra you accept it and move on!! (Gotta learn to do this ✅) 2. Single task - doing one task at a time. (Easier said than done for me 🙄 Have you seen my office?!) but you will do it well and be more productive! (Alrighty then I'll try it out ✅) 3. "Get out of jail" phrase - 🤔 helps you get out of sticky situations! i.e, Someone offers me a cookie 🍪, I say "I'll help myself to some later thank you" (alright easy enough, but later don't eat the cookie! ✅) 4. Be mindful - live in the present!! 47% of our time is "stuck" in the past or predicting our future 😲 (SAY WHAAAAT??!!) Living in the present prevents you from experiencing stress thinking about your past or future! ✴ This one was my favorite ✴ I dwell on the past and stress about the future...probs more than 47% 🤦‍♀️ There is nothing I can change but I can create a better future by living in the present 😊 . Hope I helped at least 1 person today 😍 That was my goal!! 😃😃 As I get some tips I'll pass them on!! 🤗 . #livingmybestlife #loveyourself #noom #noomnation #healthylifestyle #influencer #healthinfluencer #raleighinfluencer #wordsofwisdom #saturdaysstresstalk #youonlygetonelife #makethemostofit (at Raleigh N.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBYVboDDyB6/?igshid=nhb7e6rgsswg

My tip for Adapting to (Unwanted) Change #3: Radical Acceptance

If you are familiar with any psychological terms, you have probably heard of this. Radial Acceptance means to completely and totally accept you, your situation, your life and reality. With all your soul. With all your being. Not only does this provide a healthy perspective on reality but emboldens you to take action vs becoming overcome with paralyzing emotions. It is an incredible coping mechanism and can actually strengthen your resilience for future hard times as well and have a clearer vision of what lessons are to be learned from your particular hardship. (The divine purpose of all opposition!)

Without realizing it, this was something I accomplished with my child's condition (after much denial and struggle) that ended up blessing our family. I learned to embrace our trials, the miraculous transplant life and the amazing medical world. EMBRACE- that was my radical acceptance to cope with our situation.

(Disclaimer: I am not at all saying we have to be positive and optimistic and cheerful at all times. We should honor and experience our feelings as they come. These are simply things I have discovered have worked for myself, and tools for those days where we have had enough of our rut and want to climb out. I just want to share in case my experiences can help anyone else!)

So what does radial acceptance look like to you in your life right now? What things have you embraced despite your hardship?
