Giving up is always an option, but not always a failure - Cameron Conaway. In this episode we explore the idea of quitting as negative but went on to talk about some areas we thought were critical to be able to confidently quit in. This episode is inspired by the book The Emotionally healthy woman by Geri Scazerro. Areas identified as things would like to stop doing:Quit being afraid of what others thinkKey to be able to separate between caring what other people think on what's actually important and being afraid of facing the perceptions of ourselves through other people's lenses.Don't be driven by fear and where fear is identified as a factor, pause and ask if this is healthy and/or does this serve you. Quit over functioningGoing into superwoman mode has been historically applauded? How healthy or sustainable is living and doing life in this state? We discuss a number of scenarios that contribute to over functioning and some of the symptoms that may arise from operating from this place especially over a long period of time.Points to think about - when operating from a place of over functioning:Step back, and pauseAsk yourself, am I playing to my strengths?Is what I'm focussing on going to help me achieve my desired outcomes?Quit denying anger, sadness and fearHow do we handle our emotions?Do we take a healthy approach to being aware of or managing our emotions?What stories are we living for ourselves and for the children within our sphere of influence about giving awareness to, care of and processing our emotions?We are emotional beings and suppressing our range of emotions is not only detrimental but counterproductive and impacts on all areas of our lives.Learning how to quit those things that do not serve us is a useful discussion for us to have in order to navigate doing life well.
