beingwell mindset

This week, Eloise is talking about yeses and nos. Normally we talk about how we shouldn't say yes to everything. But in this minisode, she questions why we are saying no when we should be saying yes. Listen to today's 5-minute lesson to hear the 3 sensitive questions she asks to help you decide if your nos should be yeses.

This week's lesson is all about boundaries during the holidays. Last week being Thanksgiving, many of us were with family and we had to balance our time between work and family. Or maybe we had to balance time between family members.  Did your time feel imbalanced?  Did you recognize boundary issues? Listen to today's 5-minute lesson on boundaries with family and work during the holiday...

Where did the concept of time begin for you? College? Your boss? Your parents?  Listen to today's minisode on the beingwell podcast to listen to a short 5-minute lesson on time, college, habits, and more. 

This week is all about trust and control. Eloise talks about the differences between letting go and trusting and letting go of control, and how they go hand in hand. She asks the questions, “Do you only trust when you can control the situation, plan, or person?” and “Is it harder to trust or let go of control?”

Talk about a question that will stop you in your tracks, especially if you crave control... As we think about asking for help or delegating work to others, it helps to be honest with ourselves about what is more important. That the task is done or that you did it?

This week, Eloise talks about the feeling of being paralyzed by your to-do list every week or feeling behind or like you are failing others. She also discusses how there is more than one right way to be well, and it starts with being aware of yourself in order to find your peace and reduce stress.

This week on the podcast, Eloise is discussing how unrecognized and competing priorities can be the root of our stress. We have aspirational priorities that we claim but are they really our priorities if you did an honest time audit?

When you are stressed and venting to someone you trust, do you tend to get more to dos by the end of the conversation? Based on the root of your stress you might be taking the wrong next right steps.   

This week Eloise talks about stopping the culture of poor boundaries, unrealistic expectations, working at all hours, and stress. She gives examples in the workplace from a leader's perspective and a team member's perspective.

If you are like us, sometimes you just need to hear a couple of minutes of encouragement or motivation. You might not have the mental bandwidth or time for a full podcast episode. Each week we will be sharing a short beingwell lesson that is 5 minutes or less. You can listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify each week. This week, Eloise is focusing on the unrecognized and unplanned distractions that st...

As we wrap up the series on Decision Fatigue we discussed how to help others with their big decisions, emotional decisions, and decision fatigue.

When you see decision fatigue in someone else but they don’t see it yet. Listen as they...

In episode 14, we ask the question - "What does success look like as we discuss decision fatigue?" Is success never experiencing decision fatigue again? No. Is success always making decisions easily? No. Is success making good or right decisions every time? No. Success is not that you won't ever experience seasons or days of decision fatigue. Success is a shift in mindset, a peace a...

In episode 13, Will guides us through a short meditation that will enable you to recalibrate your mind so that you are able to approach the big decisions of life and the many small decisions of our days with more clarity and peace.

In episode 12 we discuss that most people don't have the space and time in their lives to think through decisions, process change, and allow the mind space.

We share several variations of our long term practices and how they can reduce decision fatigue by allowing u...

On episode 11, we talk about how spirituality has impacted our lives and decision making.

On episode 10, we discuss how the people in our lives can reduce and contribute to our decision fatigue. We talk about what it looks like in real life with children, family, and team members. The common factor to all of these relationships is you/us.

On episode 9 of the Decision Fatigue series, Will and Eloise talk about the most important thing you need in your life when you feel stuck during or after you have made a big decision.

How Do You Identify Your Priorities? In order to make decisions wisely and confidently we need to be clear on our priorities in the current season of life.

How Letting Go Gives You Control of Your Decisions In episode 5, we discuss carrying the weight of the world and how we tend to keep adding instead of subtracting. When we really need to let go of the part we don't have control of, we grip tighter. We are desperate and are grasping for any and all parts of control. Will makes the statement that "what is killing us overtime is this mindse...

How Identity and Expectations Impact Decision Fatigue Will and Eloise go deeper to discuss how the identities we have been given or choose impact our decisions. And with those identities come expectations. Both good in and of themselves. But can often create an unrealized tension inside. To illustrate this we use entrepreneurs, southern women, and pastors to help unpack this further.  No matter th...

Who are you impacting with your decision fatigue? And who is impacting you?
