Ep 8. Feelings, Emotions, and Being Human... Oh My!

CC dives deep into the difference between feelings and emotions and teaches you about 5 different ways to safely process them (which are also available in the show notes below): 5 Safe Ways To Process Your Feelings/Emotions (CC elaborates on these in the episode): 1. Language 2. Sound 3. Movement/Physical Exertion 4. Stillness 5. Music and/or Movies Pro-Tip #8: In your ‘Me, Myself, and I’ locked note, identify 3 ways to work through your feelings and emotions. It can be anything from the 5 pillars above or something else if that’s what works for you. It can be a go to song, a go to exercise activity or class, or a go-to person you can call or an activity you can do with yourself.  Next time you’re overwhelmed with a surge of mixed feelings and emotions, you know you can look to these things to get your needs met, help yourself feel seen, and use them to successfully work through the feelings and emotions without it having to eat away at you in some other area of your life! And remember, the more you practice this, the stronger feelings and emotions muscle you'll build.

Ep 7. How To Take Ownership Over Your Personal Preferences

Being a human means that we inevitably have personal preferences, but sometimes we forget to lean into them in order to understand who we truly are. Not only do personal preferences make us human, but they’re what make us uniquely US! CC dives into all things personal preferences and teaches you how to better understand your own as well as how to manage differing preferences with others, especially in romantic relationships. —  Show extras Locked ‘Me, Myself & I’ Note Overview - To start making real change, we gotta put in some work. This starts with creating your SAFE SPACE. Doing something from you and for you that's quick, simple, efficient, and accessible. Go ahead and create a locked note on your phone and name it whatever you want - CC’s note is named "Lil CC & More”. She originally used it to chat with her inner child/past self and now it's turned into her full time journal. Use your own locked note to safely connect with yourself and for CMWCC Pro-Tips! Pro-Tip #7 - In your "Me, Myself, and I," locked note, use the following 5 buckets for preferences (you can also add your own), jot down 3 preferences in no particular order for each bucket:  * Movie genres * How you keep your living space * Things that make you laugh * What pisses you off * How you like to spend your Sundays A couple examples from CC are below: Things that make CC laugh * When something is out of place or things don’t belong (I.e. Larry David humor in Curb Your Enthusiasm) * When someone says “pudding” * A really clever pun (these are rare, but when they land for me, they land GOOD) How CC likes to spend her Sundays * Triple Movie Bagel Sunday (Listen to Ep 1 for deets — It’s essentially me horizontal on the couch all day, crushing bagels and movies with my dog Mollie)  * Long walks around the perimeter of Manhattan * Self care (facemask, mani/pedi, meditation, etc.) The goal with this exercise is to help you get into the preferences mindset and really get clear on what you uniquely have a preference for that makes you, YOU! There are so many buckets for our preferences in our life and the key is for you to feel empowered and curious to better understand what you prefer (or don’t prefer) across the board. When you know your preferences, you can take pride in them as a way of taking ownership over YOUR life and most importantly around WHO YOU ARE! P.S.

Pro-Tip #6 - In your "Me, Myself, and I," locked note, you’re going to do a little ‘people in your life’ evaluation. Take a few minutes to jot down a couple lists… One should be focused on writing out the names of people in your life who you feel positively energized by after hanging out or being with vs. people who you leave feeling worse/icky/or lesser about yourself after you hang out or interact with them — and be honest with yourself! The lists shouldn’t be only focused on people you engage with socially, but is all encompassing, which means friends, family, colleagues, etc. If you feel uncomfy writing people’s full names, feel free to use their initials or any other naming convention that works for you and your system.  Remember, this locked note is your safe space to be with you and only you. Don’t be afraid of the results either… Even if you have more people on your ick list than you thought, that’s telling! Identifying this is what’s going to help you start attracting the energy that is a value add to your life. Life is too short to waste your precious time on people who you don’t feel it back from fam! This Pro-Tip will especially help you start generating the awareness to set a personal boundary with YOURSELF to not take things so personally from the people on your ick list since you now know it’s a them thing and NOT YOU! Also, it will help you better understand which people in your life you can go to when you’re in need of some extra support. P.S.

Pro-Tip #5 - This week’s pro-tip is all about creating your very own JoyFULL Toolkit! In your ‘Me, Myself, and I’ locked note, make 3 sections for "Small Joys", "Medium Joys", and "Big Joys." In each section, you're going to jot down 5 joys of those types. The goal here is for you to create a toolkit to access joy easily and efficiently whenever you need it most. And the small, medium, and big framework allows you to utilize your joys to help meet your needs wherever you're at, whenever you're at it. Overtime, continue to revisit your JoyFULL Toolkit and make any changes to ensure the list meets you where you’re at today. See below for examples of Small, Medium, and Big Joys for inspo:  * Small Joys are little things that are super accessible and don't take much effort to facilitate like a drawing a warm salt bath or treating yourself to a whole piece of chocolate cake, going on a hottie walk while listening to your favorite pod, getting a hug from someone you love, eating your favorite meal, doing a face-mask, not skipping your nighttime self-care routine, FaceTiming someone who makes you happy, cuddling with your fur baby, noticing a certain time of day you love, putting on your favorite outfit or popping on some makeup. * Medium Joys are more time consuming and take a bit more effort (or $$$) to make happen. They’re things like taking yourself out on a date night, making plans to do a fun activity with one of your best people, splurging on a pair of shoes you've been dying to buy, ordering in from your favorite restaurant, going to TJ Maxx/Homegoods and buying some candles, getting tickets to a concert you want to see, going to your favorite workout class, getting a facial or mani/pedi. * Big Joys are things that require the most time/effort/$$ but also yield the greatest level of joy. Examples include renovating/updating a room in your apartment/house, booking a dream trip to a destination you've been dying to visit, putting effort into pursuing something you're passionate about like starting a volleyball league or going out West to ski for a month, getting yourself a pet, organizing a group trip for you and your squad, working towards getting a new degree.
