Forgiving Past Self
“How can we work on forgiving our past self when we are still living through the negative consequences of prior actions?”
“Wow, that’s amazing. Is that amazing? Gosh, Allison, what a fantastic question. Yeah, thank you so much, Allison. What I’ll say to that is that I don’t think forgiveness comes as like one part. Maybe there’s if we’re trying to forgive our past, maybe you’re just forgiving your past self for making the mistakes but not necessarily forcing yourself to move on quite yet because it is a journey and I think that timeline is going to look different for everyone. I’m trying to think of like an analogy or a parallel but if you, if you ate peanut butter and you have a peanut allergy, like maybe those symptoms and side effects are going to be scattered and you’re not going to know that you had a peanut allergy until the symptoms showed and so you’re not gonna say ‘oh, idiot why did I eat peanut butter that time’, it’s like ‘oh, wow, now that I know I’m not gonna eat peanut butter moving forward but I may still have to deal with the repercussions and consequences and that’s okay, I can have grace in that process.'”

Kids Comparing Themselves on Social Media
“Sarah’s asking what advice do you have for parents with kids who spend too much time comparing themselves to others on social media.”
“Oh, and that’s what hurts my heart the most I think about this next generation is because I didn’t have, I mean I didn’t get a cell phone so I was”
Encouraging Self-Love in Children
“17, 18, like entering college so I really didn’t have that constant pressure to see how great everyone else was. Um, I think instead of making them feel greater than their peers, help them just develop their own self-love through a skill or through an activity. Again, I really preach on art because art is something that is so spiritually fulfilling. It has nothing to do with being accomplished, it’s just something that fills your soul. So if you can enroll them in some type of activity that allows them to see a product of their own hard work and discipline, that can carry them through life. And I think it’ll also give them a healthy distraction to get off of social media and stop the scroll and get offline and fill their soul. Oh, that rhymed.”

Dealing with Disappointment
“When you feel disappointed during the day, like it’s a big day, it’s busy, something happens, you’re disappointed, how do you pick yourself up and keep going?”
“That’s a great question. So, disappointment usually for me it stems from expecting more out of people that I shouldn’t. So I have to check in with the source of my disappointment. If I’m disappointed because someone didn’t do something that I expected them to do but I never actually relayed the expectation, um, I take ownership of that. And like I mentioned in the afternoon, I love my catnaps because it allows me time during the day to recalibrate and say, okay, I’ve been doing a lot today, or am I demanding more of myself than I’m actually capable of doing? Have I had a very stressful week so far and am I trying to maintain this level of momentum that isn’t actually doable? So I just give myself a lot of grace and I.”
Coping with Tough Days
“Always remind myself, like okay, is today going to be a throwaway day? I don’t like to waste days but there are days where it’s like nothing goes right. It’s like, okay, you know what, I’m going to go for a walk and just listen to a playlist that makes me feel good and try again tomorrow.”
“Oh, I love that, I love that. I think any negative emotion, that’s a really great formula, like go for a walk, listen to a playlist, just like walk it out, breathe it out, dance it out, and then come back in and say, okay, what’s my intention for the rest of this day? Sometimes that intervention is like, I’m out, and other times it’s like, oh, you know, I still gotta achieve these last four emails and I’m out. And I think that’s critical, that reset routine. I think it’s so key. So, I literally have a card above my desk, it’s like my reset routine, like it’s instructions, do these six things every time you get upset. And because, yes, because when I’m upset, I need some instructions, otherwise, I’ll follow my worst intuitions. This can be your day for personal growth. This can be that day you committed to you, remember, you go, ‘That was a day I got myself a community, I got better coaches, I committed to making my life the absolute best that I could. This is that day.’ Make today your growth day. Click the button on this page and sign up right now.”
