Pills do not give you life skills
I'm going to be brutally honest, so buckle up.
What's wrong?
Did your dog die?
Are you overwhelmed at work?
Are you struggling with a relationship?
Do you not have enough money?
Do you have too much weight on your body?
Is your body inflamed?
Are you struggling to manage your family as a mother?
Are you beating your self up all day, every day?
Do you feel insecure?
Do you feel lost with no purpose?
Do you feel anxiety all the time?
Do you feel depressed with no energy?
If I didn't touch on whatever you're struggling with above, that's fine.
I want you to be sincere and answer the question!
If you don't feel comfortable answering and digging into what you're struggling with, no worries.
But here's what I want to talk about.
Whatever you're struggling with, if you don't look at the problem, understand what is causing it, and get the tools you need to manage it, you're not solving the problem.
The reason why this blog post is called pills don't give you life skills is because I spent way too much of my life asking myself a few stupid questions.
I wonder if I need a different medication?
I wonder if I need to find another diet?
I wonder what is wrong with me?
The entire time I asked myself these questions what I didn't ask myself was what tools do I need to be a better mother?
What tools do I need to be healthy?
What tools do I need to have healthy relationships?
What tools do I need to have more money?
What tools do I need to manage my mind and feel my emotions?
When you have emotions that feel awful, they are coming from the way you are thinking.
Always!
The way you think is creating all of the problems in your life.
So if you are thinking a pill is going to fix your negative thought patterns and low self-worth, you are wrong.
You must sort out your thoughts around your relationships, parenting, health choices, money, and everything else you spend time being miserable about.
If you only take a pill and don't do this, you only put a band-aid on the problem.
A band-aid has its place, don't get me wrong, but band-aiding thoughts without changing them, won't get you very far.
I promise you this.
When you change the way you think about the reason you are reaching for pills, it will transform your life forever!
I have tools for every single problem inside either group coaching or one on one coaching.
If you've decided you're done asking yourself stupid questions and you need some tools you're in the right place.
