Have you been hearing the words stress and anxiety tossed around alot in the media, online in the workplace or at home? It seems that while we are working to decrease the social stigmas around mental health the true definitions of some of the terms seem to get lost. 

Today we talked with Natifa Walters, a licensed mental health professional and owner of her own practice called “ Gifts of Therapy”. Natifa like us wears many hats as a wife, mom, entrepreneur and full time therapist. She shares with us the major differences between stress and anxiety along with action steps we can take to decrease stress.

In this episode we are exposing the power behind starting late! 

YES there is  power in starting after everyone else.

By the end of this episode you will feel inspired and confident about starting now even if you feel that it's too late or that you are too far behind! 

Now you might feel confident enough to start but when you are met with resistance or an inkling of failure you pull back from giving it a full effort or you stop. How do I know this? 

It's because I'm your life coach bestie, you know the one that gets you. 

Over the years we have been conditioned to believe that our gut feelings tell us that Fun = Good and Fear = Bad This works in most fight or flight scenarios but not always in life. 

When you consider doing something that you truly want or have invested in, you are going to feel a heightened fear  because  it involves you being vulnerable and the possibility of failure. 

Bad and scary feelings are not always a sign that you can't or shouldn't move forward. They are also an indication that you are doing something frightening but worth it. 

Listen to the episode for 3 ways to embrace starting late along with a personal story from me.

Hello beautiful! Todays episode were talking about how to determine the moment you need help! 

Ive been working so much lately , im teaching a course on career development at the university and building my new coaching membership and then theres the other priorities like momming and wifeing and all that jazz. 

I noticed at some point and I notice this with my clients all the time that at some point we become little zombie versions of ourselves just going and going withou stop and we start off looking like the energizer bunny and then end up looking like dawn of the dead…. Worse is we often feel like it too. 

The way to alleviate the Overwhelm, stress and the limiting beliefs ( those thoughts of I cant) we need some help! 

Now, heres the big question. When do you know when you really need help!

It's time to start taking action - not just any action- but strategic action that will actually get you to the point where you have achieved your goals. In part 3 of the 3 part series you will learn exactly how to create a solid plan of action. 

https://www.cheerfullycheryl.com/blog/003

We are all human and with that desire a variety of things like comfort, joy, success, money, time, connection and so much more. There are some goals and wishes that have more of an impact than others in our life. To achieve those goals we must actively pursue them. 

What if I told you, you could have it all but focusing on one thing at a time would help you obtain your wants, needs, and desires more quickly? 

That's what our episode is about today. The power of selecting just one goal to work toward and how to select the right one.
