In this episode I'm teaching you a new tool I learned this summer from my coach called the 4 N's Tool.  The 4 N's stand for:

-Notice
-Normalize
-Neutralize
-Next Thought

This tool goes so well with the model and helps you with your daily self coaching. It's simple and powerful.  Enjoy!

Episode 117 - The 4 N's Tool

In this episode I am discussing many aspects of the concepts of relief. It's interesting to understand that relief is typically the contrast of the absence of the negative feeling you were just experienced.  It is also typically short lived and we often experience relief in response to our body or brain demanding us to do something to get the relief NOW.  Nothing wrong with any of that, but it's helpful to understand it and to learn that there are lots of ways to experience relief a little more intentionally and in a lasting way.  The most powerful part about this episode is for anyone in a phase of life that they are dealing with a long term negative experience (like a deployment) that will not resolve on it's own quickly and how we can find ways to get that more intentional relief during this time without it coming at a cost or just needing to escape and without needing the circumstances to change. Enjoy!

Episode 119 - Relief

This episode is just in time for the holiday season!  My favorite trick to get less annoyed with the people in my life whom I love but we're all human and we do things that bug each other is to think of their undesirable behaviors like babies spitting up.  Listen in to see what I mean and how it works. I know it will help you. Enjoy!

P.S. For more on this topic please listen to episode 24 "What to Do When Your Loved Ones Are Driving You Crazy"
