and reflect on how we can be alittle bit kinder to ourselves
and unpack the carry on that isself compassion, the essential
(00:53):
accessory on this crazy tripcalled life.
We're going to dig into what'sstopping us, what compassion is
and what it's not, and how wecan fill her up to build more
resiliency and connect to ouremotional compass to keep us
going in the right direction.
I know you've got a gazillionpodcasts to choose from, so my
(01:15):
heart bursts with gratitude thatyou're here.
So you stick around and I'llmake sure you're glad you did.
Let's get started with today'smantra and get tuned in, tapped
in and turned on.
Hello and welcome to episodefour of pocket full of mojo.
(01:38):
I'm Steph, I'm going to be yourhostess and mojo maven today,
and I'm so glad you're here.
Have you done somethingdifferent with your hair?
You look great.
Seriously, you're glowing, myfriend.
Now, without further ado, let'spull today's random mantra from
my random mantra generator andlook at what will guide us
(02:00):
through our day and our week.
Drum roll, please.
I choose compassion overcriticism.
Hmm, good one.
Ooh, I like this one.
I choose compassion.
Hmm, compassion, it is a choicethat we make.
Compassion builds bridgesbetween people and it fosters a
(02:21):
sense of shared community and itconnects us on a deeper level.
It really transcends ourdifferences and it creates the
sense of unity and it's reallyan essential part of a life with
harmony.
I choose compassion overcriticism.
Compassion really encouragesself-awareness and empathy and a
(02:44):
broader perspective on life.
When we extend compassion toothers, we often find that it
boomerangs back and it enrichesour own lives and helps us
contribute on our own journeyand helps us really discover
more about ourselves.
I choose compassion overcriticism.
This applies to compassion formyself as much as it does
(03:09):
offering compassion to otherpeople.
I mean I deserve to show myselfcompassion and understanding
because this life she's full oferrors and blunders and mistakes
and missteps and, girl, she's awild ride, but without
compassion it can be reallybumpy and leave bruises.
(03:30):
So compassion just helpscushion that blow and it makes
us more resilient and moreconfident and gives us an
ability to get back up and keepgoing even when it's hard.
I choose compassion overcriticism.
Compassion is where we reallylearn and criticism is where we
(03:52):
affirm right and like we leavevery little room to grow or
learn anything new, either aboutourselves or something that
someone else is doing or saying.
But criticism is reallylimiting, it's stifling and it's
short-sighted and it's reallyeasy to do.
But sometimes the right thingto do is also the hard thing to
(04:14):
do and we know we are capable.
I choose compassion overcriticism.
I invite you to carry this onearound with you today and every
day this week and really observethe conversation that you're
having with yourself regularly.
Are you showering yourself withcompassion?
(04:37):
It's really a good indicator ofthe compassion that you show
the world and the compassionthat the world shows you.
So if your heart on yourself,do not be surprised when the
world is hard on you.
Sorry friend, showing up withsome softness isn't the worst
thing in the world.
Taking time to understand adifferent viewpoint is where
(04:58):
growth happens and where we cantruly observe our greatness.
I always used to say you don'thave to agree with me, just take
the time to understand.
What a powerful message,because I know I want to live in
a world that's driven by loveand compassion, but, just like
(05:18):
pretty much everything, it hasto start with me.
Compassion is a choice and Ichoose compassion over criticism
.
Now that we are rooted incompassion, we will go out into
the world purse first with loveand understanding, and let's
shift our view from the windowto the mirror and really look at
(05:42):
compassion as it relates to howwe treat ourselves.
That's right.
Let's try showing ourselvessome of the compassion that we
show others, and the rippleeffect is going to be amazing.
So today we're going to look atthe how two when it comes to
radiating that love.
You show the world, but shineinward and see what happens when
(06:05):
we can change our outlook inthe very best way.
Welcome to the ever upliftingworld of self care, where the
path to unlocking your ultimatepotential begins.
Today I'm diving head firstinto the world of self
(06:25):
compassion, the secret sauce fora life filled with joy, growth
and all around radiance.
That's right.
We're going to look at how youtreat you and listen hard to
that voice in our head and makesure it's singing the right song
.
Let's look at the why behindthe wow, unpacking self
(06:46):
compassion.
Before we kick off thisadventure, let's take a second
to explore why self compassionis the ultimate game changer.
Imagine treating yourself withthe same kindness and
understanding you offer yourbest friend, that warm, fuzzy
feeling that whatever you need,I got you kind of feeling.
(07:08):
That is the essence of selfcompassion.
Imagine treating yourself thatway.
How glorious would that feel.
So let's dig into it.
So, first things first, beingkind to yourself.
Are you a pro or no?
And why is it so darnchallenging to extend the sweet
benevolence to our own finecells?
(07:30):
Let's dig into it Like.
Let's take an example.
Picture this You're out in theworld being fabulous, you don't
know how to do it any other way,and all of a sudden, for no
reason, you drop your phone.
But it happens.
But instead of a comfortinglike, oh, it's okay, accidents
happen.
You berate yourself how could Ibe so clumsy?
(07:52):
Oh, I'm so stupid.
Sound familiar.
We've become masters at beingour own worst critics and are
often really quick to do so,even when the situation doesn't
call for it.
Sometimes we become so used toit we hardly notice we're even
doing it.
But remember, words have power.
(08:13):
Words matter, even the ones wedon't say out loud.
But, steph, how am I supposedto just change like that?
For sure, this is a behaviorthat we learn and it's going to
take some unlearning andawareness.
But listen, it's all verydoable, I promise.
So here's a how to guide oncultivating self compassion like
(08:36):
a pro.
Let's unwrap the gift of selfcompassion with a bow of
understanding and a sprinkle ofmojo mastery magic.
Here are five key ingredientswhen it comes to building self
compassion into your way ofbeing and, as usual, it starts
with mindful reflection.
Number one begin your path byturning inwards.
(08:59):
Take a few minutes each day toreflect on your thoughts and
your feelings without judgment.
This is the key.
It's like a daily chat withyour inner cheerleader.
That's the person we want totalk to.
Really dial into your innervoice, and this will eventually
become a practice, but takingmindful time to check in can be
(09:20):
really powerful.
Number two speak your truth.
What do you want your truth tobe?
It doesn't have to be reflectedin your reality today.
Here's what I mean by that.
For example, if you're used totalking to yourself with a bit
of spice and haven't quite builtup your positive self talk yet.
(09:42):
That is okay.
You can use positiveaffirmations to counteract the
negative self talk, like whenthe inner critic whispers doubt.
Shout back with the affirmationlike I am capable or I deserve
love and kindness.
I can do this.
I'm not stupid for dropping myphone and this is why I have
(10:03):
daily mantras on my mostdefinitely Instagram page.
These daily affirmations arethere to offset, quiet and
outright eliminate any headspacefor negative self-talk.
You'll know what affirmationsand mantras resonate with you
because there'll be a line withwhere you're going, even if it's
not reflected in the way thingsare right now.
(10:26):
We're gonna celebrateimperfections because when you
look in the mirror, the onlything to say is dang, you're
fine Because perfection isoverrated.
Some say it doesn't even exist.
Others say that perfection isloving every single thing about
you, every single thing.
So, no matter your definition,embrace the quirks and the
(10:49):
imperfections because they makeyou uniquely.
You Remember, even the moon hascraters and she's still
stunning.
We are often reminded how ourimperfections are found on the
outside, but that's simplyputting value on the wrapping
paper.
We are filled with inner andouter perfection and a little
inventory of your own awesomecan go a really long way.
(11:12):
Your imperfections are whatmake you perfect, darling.
They're what make you you andset you apart from the rest, and
that is a good thing, becauseno one can be you.
That is your gift Practicingthose self-love rituals.
So, whether it's a cozy cup oftea, a brisk walk in nature, a
(11:32):
soothing bubble bath, bindingrituals that nourish your soul
can change the game.
These acts of self-love arenon-negotiables.
On your journey to Mojo Mastery, I promise, making sure you
don't wait until you need themis really the key to good
self-care.
Making these treats a commonpractice will help keep your cup
(11:53):
full.
And a bonus hot tip let thatshow go, because forgiveness is
what Freedom.
We are all human.
We are prone to mistakes.
Forgive yourself for pastmissteps and let go of that
heavy baggage.
A lighter load allows you tosoar higher.
You don't need anyone'spermission.
(12:14):
You don't need anyone's.
Okay, if that bag's not yours,put it down.
Let's pivot for a minute and diginto the compassion conundrum.
Why do we struggle?
Now let's tackle this milliondollar question.
Why do we find it easier tooffer compassion to others than
(12:35):
to ourselves?
Well, here's three reasons thatI've come up with.
Number one society.
Society often applaudsachievement, and creating an
environment whereself-compassion is often
mistaken for weakness.
So it's time to break free fromthese chains and celebrate the
self-compassion as a strength.
(12:56):
Who's with me?
The inner critic or the innersaboteur?
This relentless symphony of ourinner critic plays harder and
louder than any externalapplause.
If your inner critic playslouder than any other song in
your head, you're not alone.
The challenge here is to getyour own groove by turning up
(13:19):
the volume on your self-loveplaylist.
Remember, girl, you're the DJ.
Give her.
Something else that might beholding us back is the fear of
narcissism.
Many fear that self-compassionmight morph into self-absorption
, and that's a lie.
It's also a perception ofsomeone else's projection, which
(13:41):
is another way of saying thatit's nonsense.
So here's the truth Genuineself-compassion fosters empathy
for others, creating a rippleeffect of kindness.
When a candle uses its flame tolight another candle, the first
light doesn't get dimmer.
You just now have twice as muchlight.
Protect your light, share yourlight.
(14:02):
Well, why is self-compassionthe key to unlocking your Mojo
Mastery?
Because, dear Mojo Master, youare the only captain steering
your ship.
When you treat yourself withkindness, you set the stage for
a life filled with joy andpurpose and boundless potential,
and no one is holding you back.
(14:22):
So here's your Mojo MasteryChallenge Set a daily reminder
to practice self-compassion, doit, go on your phone or your
agenda and make a note.
It could be a simple affirmationor a moment of mindful
breathing.
Consistency is key and theresults are life-changing.
I personally got an app,actually when I was at my lowest
(14:48):
and I knew that the scrambledbrain wasn't giving me the right
information, and so this appjust had a positive affirmation.
Pop up about every hour with anaffirmation or mantra, and
remember that the mind is like acomputer, and the more good
data we put in there, the morewe are operating on a positive
(15:11):
affirming, uplifting information, and so the world follows.
And before I knew it, I had mynegative self-talk and derailing
thoughts fully evicted from mymind and I was back in the
driver's seat of self-compassion.
I want you to befriend yourinner cheerleader.
Your inner cheerleader is readyto rally for you.
(15:34):
Always Nurture thatrelationship when challenges
arise and they will let yourinner cheerleader lead the way.
You don't have to make thecheerleader your whole
personality, but it should be aconstant vibe when it comes to
how you talk to yourself.
We have both a cheerleader anda jerk that lives in our brain.
(15:56):
It's up to us who we promoteand who we encourage.
Who are you going to listen to?
Pro tip the jerk is a liar.
Do some mojo journaling.
Create a mojo journal todocument your self-compassion
journey.
Reflect on the changes youobserve, the challenges you
conquer and the moments of pure,unadulterated self-love To
(16:20):
really amp up your progress.
Observe the times where yourinner critic or negative
self-talk crept in and you areable to identify and change
course.
Recognize these wins and smallchanges that we make can amount
to huge progress as we learn torewire our brains.
As you embark on this mission,watch how self-compassion
(16:41):
unlocks the gates to your mostauthentic self.
Say goodbye to people pleasingtendencies and hello to radiant
self-image.
Sounds good, right?
You are deserving of love, ofkindness and boundless joy, and
this is the work that will getyou there.
Remember you hold the brush topaint the masterpiece that is
(17:06):
your life, with compassion asyour guiding star.
This year is bound to be theyear that your mojo reaches its
peak and with that, mocharrinos,I will leave you to go.
Take on the world as your best,most gorgeous self and, if
you're hearing me for the firsttime.
(17:27):
Welcome you, gorgeous human.
I'm Steph, and it has beenreally great spending this time
with you, and if this is yourjam, you can get even more.
Check the show notes for allthe cool links that will take
you to more mojo mastery.
So before I let you go, rememberwe choose compassion over
criticism.
It's good for your health.
(17:47):
There is a lot in this lifethat we cannot control, but we
do control how we speak toourselves and how we show up in
the world, and these two thingsare very related.
Compassion is the heartbeat ofhumanity.
The importance of empathy,kindness and interconnectedness
(18:09):
is not only good for you, butfor your relationships both with
yourself and with the world,and I know that I want to live
in a society where understandingand love are the heart of
everything, and it all startswith you.
Be sure to tune into the nextepisode, where we dig into the
(18:30):
art of receiving, whether it's agift, constructive feedback or
a compliment.
We'll tap into the value ofseeing our own worthiness and
how to go from cringe to coolwhen life's gifts come our way.
So until next time, stayawesome, and with that, I
definitely wish you a magicalday Peace, love and mojo.

Something else that might beholding us back is the fear of
narcissism.
Many fear that self-compassionmight morph into self-absorption

is another way of saying thatit's nonsense.
So here's the truth Genuineself-compassion fosters empathy
for others, creating a rippleeffect of kindness.

light doesn't get dimmer.

I personally got an app,actually when I was at my lowest
(14:48):
and I knew that the scrambledbrain wasn't giving me the right
information, and so this appjust had a positive affirmation.
Pop up about every hour with anaffirmation or mantra, and
remember that the mind is like acomputer, and the more good
data we put in there, the morewe are operating on a positive
(15:11):
affirming, uplifting information, and so the world follows.
And before I knew it, I had mynegative self-talk and derailing
thoughts fully evicted from mymind and I was back in the
driver's seat of self-compassion.
I want you to befriend yourinner cheerleader.
Your inner cheerleader is readyto rally for you.

Always Nurture thatrelationship when challenges
arise and they will let yourinner cheerleader lead the way.
You don't have to make thecheerleader your whole
personality, but it should be aconstant vibe when it comes to
how you talk to yourself.
We have both a cheerleader anda jerk that lives in our brain.
