27. Perfectionism is a Fancy Buffer for Fear

Perfectionism is an unhelpful fear response that I manage and help clients manage as well. Unmanaged perfectionism keeps us from hitting our goals. Listen in to hear a fresh perspective on how to respond to perfectionism (aka a fancy buffer for fear).

26. The Magic of Gratitude

Gratitude can be a great place to start bringing magic back into your life. If it feels trite to consider a gratitude practice because it's talked about so much or for how it was talked about in church, I understand. Listen to hear a skeptics perspective on gratitude practices. I referenced my good friend Corey Pickett (coachwithcorey.com [coachwithcorey.com]), this Knock Knock gratitude journal [https://knockknockstuff.com/products/okay-fine-im-grateful-inner-truth-journal], the book The Magic [https://www.amazon.com/Audible-The-Magic/dp/B0BMB7ZQRZ/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AOPrMmVwRw6bgpNZxc6o5Fk0_085xQqjApeiGlL_Q4VUs0ZOK_NatSprgL0jECQT3swJCGEPta1S9AOQ6ewDLaFUepGDhL23XCyA7v4yrszxXYkOBhHeplxZrfSyrqpj8wBOjMCig4fbKMKXiOUCopYFGO17gt7qBdLvjQpjkOAp8QExCeeq8wJ-PiXU3oFkHNTDuDnFOUtGCatgoScIFrYzRe56d1pmsKMGltaTosI.Hf8zXnhNsFPnA2zwlTmiuhLSw5_8U31vLemVEzfuOEM&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+magic+book&qid=1715148442&sr=8-1], the Emotional Scale [https://www.discoveringpeace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/scalex1000.webp], Motion [https://www.usemotion.com/] calendar app, and this piece of Alice in Wonderland art [https://www.instagram.com/p/C12afpmxG0I/].  To get coached by me, sign up for my weekly email at coachjosiejohnson.com [coachjosiejohnson.com].

25. For When You're Misunderstood and Angry About It

Being angry during a faith crisis or transition makes sense. And you can use this anger for good. Listen for a new perspective on the connection between anger and being misunderstood.

24. The Feelings Game

I created this game to help my clients see optional ways to look at situations and circumstances in their lives. Listen in to learn exactly how to use this tool and what to do if you feel stuck in a negative situation or emotion. I referenced Man's Search for Meaning and feelingswheel.com [feelingswheel.com] in this episode. I also encouraged listeners to join my weekly newsletter/client waitlist at coachjosiejohnson.com [coachjosiejohnson.com]. I am opening up lots of client spots later this summer and those on the waitlist will be first in line.

21. How to Feel Grounded During General Conference Weekend

No matter what's going on around you during General Conference (or any other possibly triggering religious event or holiday), you can create the feeling of groundedness within you. The emotion "grounded" comes from our thoughts. You can get yourself there even if it feels like everything around you is the opposite of grounded. Listen in for a simple exercise to help you get started. For personal support during General Conference, DM me on Instagram @coachjosiejohnson [http://www.instagram.com/coachjosiejohnson]. At any other time of the year, you can still DM me with coaching questions or to book a consultation for private life coaching.
