The word "Mantra" is derived from Sanskrit.  The common translations  are “a tool for the mind” and “that which clears the mind”.  An affirmation validates or confirm something.

My heart will guide the way to happiness and health. 

16. How to Set Boundaries Without Guilt

I wanted to call this episode "how to set boundaries without seeming like a meanie" but it seemed a bit long... But seriously, how many of us feel like setting boundaries is unkind or that we are being mean when we set them?

12. From Trying to Fit in to Finding Ourselves

Many of us will have feelings of not belonging at some point in our life.  Maybe it is at work, maybe it is in our neighbourhood, maybe it’s even within our friend group. Wanting to belong and be part of a community is natural and so often we put on a facade or hide our true selves in order to be accepted. However, while the facade can feel like a protective armour - it is a heavy burden.  The effort required to maintain the facade can result in heightened anxiety and fatigue.  In this episode Rachelle opens up and shares her feelings of not belonging because of being biracial. Eventually the fatigue of trying to keep up a facade and pretend to be something that wasn’t true to her caused an emotional breakdown.  But that breakdown eventually led to a deeper understanding of herself. By the end of this podcast you will have concrete steps that you can take in order to start the process of reconnecting with your true self and start the process of creating a life that you truly love and where you don’t have to pretend anymore.The workbook Rachelle mentioned was Danielle La Porte’s Fire Starter Sessions.  You can find it here: https://shop.daniellelaporte.com/pages/fire-starter-sessionsYou can find out more about Rachelle and the work she does:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachelleharelcoaching Website: www.rachelleharel.com Happyish listeners get 15% off when you let her know you found her through Happyish As always you can connect with me in a variety of ways!!!Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tatianarobertsonofficial Website: www.tatianarobertson.com Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TatianasWellnessPage Private Facebook Group for Happyish Pod Squad Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1902004553313858/
