“Art thou lonely, O my brother?  Share thy little with another.  Stretcha hand to one unfriended, and thy loneliness is ended.”   ~ John Oxenham

“Jealousy only eats up your beauty.  Have more faith in yourself, you got something that other people don’t.”  ~ Unknown

Anxiety  is  a  feeling  of  unease  or  agitation  that  seems  to  penetrate  profoundly  almost  everyone  we  know,  including  ourselves. Rarely  are  any  of  us  immune  to  this  feeling. At  times,  it  is  overwhelmingly  disruptive. While  I  am  certainly  an  advocate  for  the  helpful,  research-based  mindfulness  exercises  we  practice  today,  I  also  know  that  a  more  profound  relationship  is  needed  for  healing  to  occur. Isolation  and  fantasy  can  be  our  enemy. Relationship  and  grounding  can  bring about  a  healing  worth  celebrating. Consider  today’s  podcast  as  a  possible  resource  and  encouragement  for  healing  and  cultivating  a  flourishing  relationship  that  brings  rest  and  peace.      

Growing  up,  were  you  taught  you  are  half  of  a  person  and  to  look  for  someone  in  life  to  complete  you?    Or,  were  you  taught  you  are  a  whole  person  meant  to  connect  with  other  whole  people?    One  of  these  is  healthy,  the  other  is  co-dependent. In  this  episode,  Dawn  talks  about  the  whole  person  and  3  blocks  to  authentically  connecting  to  others.  

It  is  important  to  take  the  time  to  identify  the  negative  patterns  of  “overs” in  your  life.    In  this  episode, Dawn  names  8  “overs” that  can  prevent  you  from  authentically  connecting  to  others.

“If  you  don’t  take  a  Sabbath,  something  is  wrong. You’re  doing  too  much,  you’re  being  too  much  in  charge. You’ve  got  to  quit,  one  day  a  week,  and  just  watch  what  God  is  doing  when  you’re  not  doing  anything.” ~  Eugene  Peterson  

What  patterns  have  you  developed  in  your  past  that  are  getting  you  stuck  presently  in  your  relationships? Listen  to  two  examples  of  how  Alita’s  and  Bea’s  pasts  negatively  impact  their  friendship  today  and  what changes  they  can  enlist  in  order  to  move  forward  differently  in  their  futures. Consider  for  yourself whether  or  not/where  you  see  yourself  in  either  of  these  examples.

“If  you  look  for  trouble,  you  will  find  it.” If  you  look  for  less  or  defeat,  you  will  likely  find  that  as  well. You  may  choose  to  settle  for  less  or  let  others  drown  out  those  things  that  bring  out  your  essence. Will  you  choose  to  remain  stuck  or  celebrate  in  God’s  work  and  reflection  in  your  life? Join  Dawn  today  as  she  provides  invaluable  truths  related  to  the  Fear  of  Finding.    

Have you ever found yourself faced with a decision and all you can do is ruminate over whether to say “yes” or “no” or if you should stay or go? After making a decision, do you continue wondering whether or not you made the right decision? In this episode, Dawn will help you discover the ‘what’ and ‘when’, so you can finally “let it go.”

“Let it go, let it go. I am one with the wind and sky. Let it go, let it go. You’ll never see me cry. Here I stand, and here I’ll stay. Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway.” ~Elsa (Frozen)

When we get disrupted, the first thing to go is our sense of peace. Following close behind, our brain shuts down, responding in fight, flight or freeze. Listen now as Dawn shares how to hold onto your peace, while gaining a greater sense of solid presence in your own life.
