Episode Synopsis

You know that voice in your head that says, “I’m too tired?”Have you ever considered if it is friend or foe?I bring it up because a few weeks ago, I almost passed up on what turned out to be a magical memory and experience on a snowy mountain adventure with my husband and daughter because I thought I was too tired.Has this ever been you?You really wanted to go do something, like maybe a fun day out with friends. Yet, when it came down to it, you didn’t go because you thought you were too tired.And then you got into the woulda-shoulda-coulda what if’s of whether you should have still gone.Soon you wondered if you not only missed out on a fantastic experience, but you’re now having a crappy time because you’re ruminating about not going. Maybe you’re even a little mad at yourself, and you certainly don’t feel peaceful or like you got any rest by not going.Familiar? Yeah, I’ve been there and got the t-shirt, too.Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t rest when you need to. Rest and nurturing yourself is an absolutely non-negotiable.But what many women do, and they’re not aware of it at all, is that they opt out of doing something they’ve been really looking forward to because they think they’re too tired.When in reality, saying you’re tired (even if you’re actually fatigued) is very often a brain based protective mechanism you’re unknowingly using as an excuse to keep you in your comfort zone and to keep you from being inconvenienced.Whoa, right?Dive into this deeper with me in this podcast episode, Your Fatigue is a Convenient Excuse to Play Small.When you listen, you’ll learn:- Distinctions between truly wanting and needing rest versus just when you think you are too tired;- How your brain uses the “fatigue card” to keep you within your comfort zone and trapped in your current circumstances;- How being “too tired” has trained you to settle in life;- The important message your subconscious mind is often trying to tell you with “I’m too tired”;- What to ask yourself to determine if rest or doing what you’d planned to do is more valuable to you;- How you can quiet that “I’m too tired” voice in your head.Enjoy listening, tune into what that “fatigue voice” in your head is really telling you, and start loving yourself so fully that you choose to experience life in the way it calls to you.*** Ready to release your fears and align with the highest frequency in the Universe to unlock your life?Get started stepping into your Soul aligned life today with my FREE Radiate Love Guide: www.tealshoopcoaching.com/radiateloveguide
