The Road to Resilience

Lesa Koski: 00:00:00

Welcome listeners to this week's Giddy Up segment.

2

: 00:00:04

And this is where we blaze new trails

and we take a little look back at

3

: 00:00:10

what we've learned along the way.

4

: 00:00:12

And the last two episodes were a two part

series where I shared with you my five

5

: 00:00:19

Pillars of wellbeing, the five things

that helped me through a really hard time.

6

: 00:00:25

And I went into great detail about

how I really jumped in, feet first

7

: 00:00:31

and just went for it, but that it

doesn't have to be that way that

8

: 00:00:34

you can pick one or pick one little

thing that you want to do right away.

9

: 00:00:40

So these were the five.

10

: 00:00:43

God, community, nutrition.

11

: 00:00:47

weightlifting and rejuvenation.

12

: 00:00:49

And, if you want to hear more, go

back and listen to those podcasts.

13

: 00:00:54

But basically, as far as God, I

grew my relationship with him and

14

: 00:01:00

learned how to totally count on him.

15

: 00:01:03

Because that's what you

need to do when you're going

16

: 00:01:05

through something really hard.

17

: 00:01:07

Community, I let go of the fact that

I thought I was an introvert and I

18

: 00:01:11

went to community and I asked for

help and I went to do fun things.

19

: 00:01:16

As far as nutrition, this is

what I did really in a blast.

20

: 00:01:21

I just did a 16 hour fast.

21

: 00:01:24

So an eight hour eating window, eight

mainly high proteins, stayed away from

22

: 00:01:31

gluten, had not as much dairy as normal,

added vegetables and berries in a

23

: 00:01:37

little bit more than I had in the past.

24

: 00:01:39

Really worked on no sugar and

worked on trying to eat things

25

: 00:01:45

that grow from the ground.

26

: 00:01:47

The physical thing that I started

doing different was really dedicating

27

: 00:01:51

myself to having fun lifting.

28

: 00:01:53

I go to a fun workout class with

these inspiring gals, and enjoy it at

29

: 00:01:58

home, just quietly taking my time and

feeling, every movement that I make.

30

: 00:02:04

The last one that I talked about

is rejuvenation or stress relief.

31

: 00:02:09

And that's something that I'm

going to continue to talk about as

32

: 00:02:12

we move forward, because that is

the one that I have trouble with.

33

: 00:02:16

Talked a little bit about breath work.

34

: 00:02:17

I'm going to give you one new breath

work on this giddy up segment.

35

: 00:02:21

Cause we're blazing new trails

and that is just box breathing.

36

: 00:02:24

And there's something about, you can't

stay, in a zone of being high anxiety.

37

: 00:02:31

If you focus on box breathing, tell me

if I'm wrong, but that's what I've heard.

38

: 00:02:35

So all that is, is very simply breathe

in for four, hold it for four, breathe

39

: 00:02:41

out for four, hold for four again.

40

: 00:02:44

Pretty simple stuff.

41

: 00:02:46

And if you can just remember to maybe do

it once or twice a day, it has helped me.

42

: 00:02:50

So I'm assuming it's going to help you.

43

: 00:02:53

Here's another one.

44

: 00:02:54

This is what I want to talk about

a little bit today, and I don't

45

: 00:02:57

really have a lot of answers.

46

: 00:02:59

I am searching for the answers.

47

: 00:03:01

And so I'm probably going to be

talking about this a lot more,

48

: 00:03:03

but if you listen to me, you know,

That I am a people pleaser and

49

: 00:03:09

I just want everyone to love me.

50

: 00:03:12

And it is so difficult for me.

51

: 00:03:14

if someone doesn't agree with me and

it's made me really good at mediation

52

: 00:03:19

because I can really read people and

try to fit into both people's, mind

53

: 00:03:24

space and help them work together.

54

: 00:03:27

But it can be really hard as a person

to walk into a room and feel like

55

: 00:03:31

you have to figure out what every

person likes and be that, and that's

56

: 00:03:35

not even being true to who you are.

57

: 00:03:37

So it's been such an interesting week.

58

: 00:03:40

Everything that I have been seeing and

hearing about has been popping up about

59

: 00:03:47

Don't worry about what other people think.

60

: 00:03:49

I found it in my Bible study, you

know, keep your eyes focused on God.

61

: 00:03:54

Don't be so worried about

all the things going on.

62

: 00:03:57

Keep them focused on him.

63

: 00:03:59

You know, have your passion be his

passion and then let it go and let it go.

64

: 00:04:05

I think Mel Robbins talked about this

and she's got a new book coming out

65

: 00:04:09

that I am plugging here because it's

called let them I just pre ordered it.

66

: 00:04:13

I think we're going to learn a lot from

that and I think we're going to talk

67

: 00:04:15

about that on this podcast Let them

have negative thoughts about you because

68

: 00:04:21

you know what it's going to happen and

some people just aren't going to like

69

: 00:04:24

me and if I Carry that with me all the

time That hurts my stress so I am so

70

: 00:04:32

proud and just in awe of people who

are able to be strong in who they are

71

: 00:04:39

and move forward and not be concerned.

72

: 00:04:41

It doesn't mean that they're not

kind and caring about other people,

73

: 00:04:46

but they're not over consumed

with, what they think of them.

74

: 00:04:49

And that is what this grandma is

striving for at this point in my life.

75

: 00:04:55

So I think.

76

: 00:04:57

For starters, this is what I'm going

to do because I've learned this before.

77

: 00:05:00

I'm just going to become aware of it.

78

: 00:05:02

So.

79

: 00:05:03

In the upcoming days, I'm going

to be aware of when I'm feeling

80

: 00:05:08

like, Ooh, that person, what

I'm doing is making them happy.

81

: 00:05:12

And I'm going to just look at it

and watch it and become aware.

82

: 00:05:16

And I will let you know as we

Head down this path and, you

83

: 00:05:21

know, saddle up and ride along.

84

: 00:05:24

I will let you know what

I learn along the way.

85

: 00:05:28

And I have some amazing

people coming on the podcast.

86

: 00:05:32

So stay tuned next Tuesday.

87
