Speaker (00:01):
Welcome listeners.
I'm so thankful that you're heretoday as always, and I'm excited.
I do have exciting news and I know thatI told you last week that I'd fill you
in and I mentioned that I was writinga book, but at the end of April, I
am going to The Oaks in Californiaand I am working with Bob Goff.
(00:24):
I could jump up and down and scream.
I'm working with him to get mybook done, so, um, super excited.
I can't wait to fill you in more.
I have not heard the voiceof God a lot, but I swore I
heard him say, write the book.
So We'll see if it's meant for my healing,for your healing, but really excited about
it and I'll talk more about it as I go,
(00:46):
And you know, too, I'm traveling, so I'min, Iowa helping my daughter who's working
nights and selling a house and has a,a little, so I'm helping out with that.
So we're doing, a couple of these.
Independent, podcast without a guess,but I promise I have a lots of 'em lined
up and they're gonna be jumping on soonif you're tired of hearing my stories.
(01:10):
But this episode I'm excited aboutand I've been wanting to share it.
For about a week I've held on, I'mlike, okay, I cannot forget that
I wanna share this information.
I actually just wrote down some notesbefore I jumped on to record this.
And last week, Mel Robbins did afabulous, I mean, she's amazing, right?
(01:31):
She did a fabulous podcast about,getting res, being respected by others.
I thought, oh, that's a good one.
So I'm gonna talk about that and I'mgonna tell you something interesting
that I learned about myself andat the end, I can't help it.
I'm gonna throw anxiety in therebecause I used a tool that really
helped me, and you know that I'malways looking for those tools to help
(01:54):
us through hard things like anxiety.
So I'm gonna talk about that at the end.
I'm gonna start out with kind of doing aquick little review of that podcast on.
Getting respect from other people.
And she explained so conciselyhow you can be disrespected.
(02:14):
And I think sometimes we're not aware ofit, so just kind of become aware of it.
And one great example is beinginterrupted, which sadly I
interrupt and that's disrespectful.
So, on the flip side, I'm gonnareally practice not interrupting.
However, I get interrupted too,especially in a big house full of a
big, loud family, and I'm not so loud.
(02:37):
And what she said was, when you getinterrupted, keep talking, slow down.
And you know sometimes how you, ifyou use a quiet, slower voice, people
will really tune in and listen to you.
So she suggested that, and she said,if you're still being interrupted.
(02:58):
Just bring it up, whichis, why don't we do that?
Like we carry things with us and we don'tjust say, Hey Harvey, I wanna hear what
you have to say, but I was talking aboutthis, so can we come back to you later?
And then how respectful it would be if youdid come back after you said your piece.
Then you could say, HeyHarvey, come back in.
So like, okay, That's great adviceand I'm gonna watch for that because
(03:21):
we all know that if we wanna berespected, it starts with us.
Right.
Another thing she mentionedis your feelings matter.
So don't let anyone say, ah,why would you feel like that?
Or, that's stupid, or, or whatever it is.
Your feelings matter and makesure that you're aware of that
(03:42):
and you can again, just voice it.
Here's a good one, and I havea little story about this one
when people are not on time.
For you, like if you have a coffee dateor, whatever it is, that's disrespectful.
And I do, I do have one friend thatlikes to run late, not horribly
(04:05):
late, and it's disrespectful.
And so to be respectful, make sureyou get on time to places and you,
we all know that things happen.
Traffic pops up, whatever it is, just getthere and say thank you for being patient,
because that's the best you can do.
And you don't need to like go intothese big ordeals because we're
(04:26):
all busy and, and things happen.
But just say, thank you for your patience.
But I have a story.
And there were these friends that Ihad in high school and I mean, I was
kind of in their friend group, but.
I don't know.
I kinda flitted around toa lot of friend groups.
'cause you know, I was that people-pleaserthat wanted everyone to like me, but I
would, I didn't really connect with them,but they were kind of my friend groups.
(04:50):
So as I grew and I, I think Iwas even graduated from college
and I was going to meet them, wewere gonna meet at a restaurant.
Cute little restaurant in Stillwater.
We had cell phones.
It was a, it was quite a while ago.
It was probably like 15 years ago,maybe even a little bit more than that.
And so I got to the restaurant ontime and I sat there probably for
(05:15):
half an hour, and I don't even know,I think they bothered to call me about
45 minutes in and they were like.
Kind of laughing about it and Iwas sitting there all by myself.
It wasn't like one person wasthere, it was like four people
were coming and they were all late.
And I made a decision andit did kind of end that.
(05:40):
I made the decision to endthat relationship with those
people and I got up and I left.
It was too far and Irespected myself too much.
And so those ladies kinda laughed at me.
Nobody apologized.
you know, and so I was kind of done.
I mean, I've seen 'em,it's not like we hate 'em.
Of course we forgive peoplebecause we're Christians, right?
(06:01):
But it wasn't, it wasn't a good,a good friend group for me anyway.
And I had to respect myself.
So I left the restaurant and I didn't.
Say, sorry, I didn't, whichwould be a normal Lisa move.
I just let it go.
I let them, and the relationshipdid fizzle, but it was probably,
(06:23):
it was necessary that it fizzled.
So be on time and when you can't be,just say thank you for your patience.
Another thing that Mel talked about washow the silent treatment is really, kind
of not abusive, but kind of because.
Somebody's not telling you that you're,they're mad at you and they're mad because
(06:49):
they think you should read their mind.
And I've been on bothsides of this, right?
So let's re remember that and rememberthat people don't remind, and I know we
think that they should, and how could theynot know that people don't, You have no
right to be mad if you can't tell them.
So just tell them.
And I'm telling you, I haveused this in my life lately and
(07:11):
it really, really does work.
So quit the siloed treatment.
Let's just bring it out onto the table.
I do need to add, and this is kind ofgonna get into how I'm gonna talk about
how this information about respect fromother people really made me look at.
(07:31):
Sometimes I disrespect myselfand there are times when I think
I shouldn't be mad about that.
And so then I don't saythat I'm mad about it.
And then, I, you know, thenI do the silent treatment.
'cause I'm not saying what I feel.
People, your feelings matter.
Talk it out if you're mad.
(07:53):
You have every right.
Look at it, talk about it.
You can be polite and say, okay,this is making me feel this way.
is that, was that your intent?
So clarify it.
And that's the same thing.
She, she also talked about,and this is so interesting.
I had an attorney that I workedwith and she was a little bit older
than me, and she would do likebackhanded, sarcastic, like, oh, you
(08:17):
don't seem like you'd be an attorney.
And what Mel said to do, I would justtake that, I remember, I could just feel
like going, ugh, feeling icky about it.
And Mel said, ask them to repeat it.
Say, oh wait, can you say that again?
And she said they don't want to repeatit because they kind of wanna slide
it in and not be nice and, and thenlet them know how it made you feel.
(08:42):
as you're earning respect fromother people, you're gonna
gain respect for yourself.
Because like I said, as Ilook through all of these,
it starts with me and, oh, friends,I don't respect myself enough.
now I did, like I said, therewere some examples like with those
friends, I had had enough and Irespected myself, but so many times.
(09:08):
I don't respect my own feelings and Ijudge them, and I think we all do this.
And I go, well, I shouldn'tbe feeling that way.
So that's stupid.
And so I'm not, I'm not gonna sayhow I feel, just like I was saying,
I'm not gonna tell someone I'mmad because I shouldn't be mad.
You need to respect yourfeelings and we know.
(09:33):
We've talked about this a lot, thatour feelings aren't gonna hurt us.
We need to go into 'em.
I mean, and that's, there isjust so much work in this.
I feel like there are so many thingsgetting thrown together for me right now
on this healing journey and to reallyknow where your feelings are coming from.
(09:54):
I'd like to talk about that core woundscourse because you kinda go way back, to.
I mean, when you were liketwo or, or whatever it was.
And that takes work.
Like there's a JJ Zain course that is inthese show notes that I highly recommend.
the work that I did with Sonia,the tapping gal that was on the
podcast, she also talked about,you've gotta go back to where those.
(10:19):
Feelings come from because you canmake positive affirmations all you
want, but if you don't really knowwhat you're looking at and where
that stems from, it's gonna be hard.
And I think it's probably a process thatyou're gonna go through your whole life.
you're gonna keep growing and learning,of course, but I can tell you, I mean,
(10:39):
you've seen me go through this journey.
Life is getting better.
So that Mel Robbins podcast, I.
Go back and listen to it.
Talked about getting respect fromother people, and I'm telling
you, use it and respect yourself.
Be on time for yourself whenyou have a lunch date to watch
(11:02):
Heartland and eat a salad like I do.
Be on time.
That's your time.
Be on time for yourself.
Be kind about your feelings.
Be understanding and have empathy whenyou feel angry, be kind to yourself.
And then on the other side, as we cangrow and get that respect for ourselves,
(11:25):
I do think that's where it starts.
But it is in conjunctionwith other people.
It will give you practiceon how to gain that respect.
So I feel so strongly about that, and Ihave been wanting to talk about that since
last week when I was on a walk and I heardthat podcast, I promised you that I would
talk also, not only about the respectpiece, but about anxiety because it's
(11:50):
just something that I am always dealingwith and I'm really wanting to wean off
the medication that I was on that I'mthankful for because it was a situational
journey for me and I needed it.
But I also think maybe, Iwonder if it's maybe muddling
with my clarity a little bit.
you know, when I get overwhelmed it cankind of stop me and so I, I wanna look
(12:13):
at what it, what it's gonna be like.
So I'm slowly weaning off of it.
So I really need to make sure thatI'm dealing with anxiety well,
I am a person who is veryeasily overwhelmed and.
I don't like that about me.
See, I'm not being nice to myself.
Who cares?
God created me.
It's who I am.
But I get really overwhelmed and Iam in a season right now where I am
(12:36):
writing a book, trying to do thispodcast, still doing some divorces,
and I wanna be a number one grandma.
I love being grandma.
And so that's why when mydaughter needed me, I said, yes,
for sure I wanna come and help.
However, I get overwhelmed with it.
So last weekend I can tell that thestress has been going up because
(13:01):
I'm traveling back and forth betweenmy home and five hour trip away.
so one night I was in bed andI thought, okay, sometimes I
forget to do my coaching stuff.
So I went deep into thefeeling of overwhelm.
And I thought, where is this coming from?
(13:22):
And I grabbed onto my father and I broughthim with me and my father in heaven.
and I looked at this overwhelm andI felt it because we've learned that
like right, it's not gonna hurt you.
So I really looked at it and then Iused the pieces from my core wounds
and I went, when was the firsttime that I felt overwhelmed and.
(13:44):
You guys, I have this story about, Iprobably was two years old and I was lost
in the woods and I still remember it andI don't remember being terrified then,
but I think the overwhelm was, where am I?
Who's coming to help me.
and I think that may have been, or onetime my mom dropped me in water babies.
(14:05):
Now she didn't mean todo it, but I remember it.
And that's overwhelm and that's scary.
And so I went back to that and I looked atit and I go, okay, well that makes sense.
That's the first timeyou felt overwhelmed.
And then I remembered something.
Someone saying that when you feelgratitude, you can't feel anxiety.
(14:26):
So I thought, well, letme think about that.
So I was feeling overwhelmed abouthaving to travel a lot and lots of
things coming up with the book writingand all the things that are coming in
my life, you know, lots of good things.
And I went and I did the surrenderthing and I stayed close to my father.
And I used gratitude and I thought aboutall the prayers he had answered, and I
(14:51):
thought about how there had been so manytimes where I had been so worried and he
was there and then I thought about thetimes where everything worked out, even
though maybe I was worried about financesor how I was gonna get something done.
He was there and it always worked.
And I started remembering andfocusing, and the Bible tells you to
(15:14):
focus on those what is pure and true.
And when I started drawing myfocus towards that, I had peace.
I had peace, and I'm holding onto it.
This was two days ago.
I'm sleeping better.
I'm feeling peacebecause I have gratitude.
(15:35):
I keep remembering that the things thatI am thankful for, the things that have
worked out, the things that God hasdone for me, I'm focusing on those and
it gives me an immense amount of peace.
That does not mean that I amtrying to shove aside the feelings,
the hard feelings that I had.
I felt those, and I'm sure I'm gonnahave to go back and feel that because
(15:57):
they're there and they will pop outif you don't, because I think a lot of
times in the past I would try to push'em away and just focus on the gratitude.
Stay focused on the gratitude,along with feeling those feelings.
I don't know.
I'm an attorney and a grandma and a mom.
I'm not a therapist, but I want to sharethis with you because it has worked.
(16:20):
For me and I have learnedit from therapists.
So let me know if it works for youand let me know if you have tips that
have worked and jump on this podcast.

Like there's a JJ Zain course that is inthese show notes that I highly recommend.
the work that I did with Sonia,the tapping gal that was on the
podcast, she also talked about,you've gotta go back to where those.
(10:19):

So that Mel Robbins podcast, I.
Go back and listen to it.
Talked about getting respect fromother people, and I'm telling
you, use it and respect yourself.
Be on time for yourself whenyou have a lunch date to watch
(11:02):
Heartland and eat a salad like I do.
Be on time.
That's your time.
Be on time for yourself.
Be kind about your feelings.

But I get really overwhelmed and Iam in a season right now where I am
(12:36):
writing a book, trying to do thispodcast, still doing some divorces,
and I wanna be a number one grandma.
I love being grandma.
And so that's why when mydaughter needed me, I said, yes,
for sure I wanna come and help.
However, I get overwhelmed with it.
So last weekend I can tell that thestress has been going up because
(13:01):
I'm traveling back and forth betweenmy home and five hour trip away.
so one night I was in bed andI thought, okay, sometimes I
forget to do my coaching stuff.
So I went deep into thefeeling of overwhelm.
And I thought, where is this coming from?
(13:22):
And I grabbed onto my father and I broughthim with me and my father in heaven.
and I looked at this overwhelm andI felt it because we've learned that
like right, it's not gonna hurt you.
So I really looked at it and then Iused the pieces from my core wounds
and I went, when was the firsttime that I felt overwhelmed and.
(13:44):
You guys, I have this story about, Iprobably was two years old and I was lost
in the woods and I still remember it andI don't remember being terrified then,
but I think the overwhelm was, where am I?
Who's coming to help me.
and I think that may have been, or onetime my mom dropped me in water babies.
(14:05):
Now she didn't mean todo it, but I remember it.
And that's overwhelm and that's scary.
And so I went back to that and I looked atit and I go, okay, well that makes sense.
That's the first timeyou felt overwhelmed.
And then I remembered something.
Someone saying that when you feelgratitude, you can't feel anxiety.
(14:26):
So I thought, well, letme think about that.
So I was feeling overwhelmed abouthaving to travel a lot and lots of
things coming up with the book writingand all the things that are coming in
my life, you know, lots of good things.
And I went and I did the surrenderthing and I stayed close to my father.
And I used gratitude and I thought aboutall the prayers he had answered, and I
(14:51):
thought about how there had been so manytimes where I had been so worried and he
was there and then I thought about thetimes where everything worked out, even
though maybe I was worried about financesor how I was gonna get something done.
He was there and it always worked.
And I started remembering andfocusing, and the Bible tells you to
(15:14):
focus on those what is pure and true.
And when I started drawing myfocus towards that, I had peace.
I had peace, and I'm holding onto it.
This was two days ago.
I'm sleeping better.
I'm feeling peacebecause I have gratitude.
(15:35):
I keep remembering that the things thatI am thankful for, the things that have
worked out, the things that God hasdone for me, I'm focusing on those and
it gives me an immense amount of peace.
That does not mean that I amtrying to shove aside the feelings,
the hard feelings that I had.
I felt those, and I'm sure I'm gonnahave to go back and feel that because
(15:57):
they're there and they will pop outif you don't, because I think a lot of
times in the past I would try to push'em away and just focus on the gratitude.
Stay focused on the gratitude,along with feeling those feelings.
I don't know.
I'm an attorney and a grandma and a mom.
I'm not a therapist, but I want to sharethis with you because it has worked.
(16:20):
For me and I have learnedit from therapists.
So let me know if it works for youand let me know if you have tips that
have worked and jump on this podcast.
