Better Than Happy

We have so much knowledge about how to take care of ourselves physically. We teach our kids about nutrition and we understand the value of exercise. We brush our teeth even when we don't have a toothache. All of this in the name of physical hygiene. But when it comes to our mental and emotional health most people have no idea where to begin with hygiene. Today I'm going to help you get started. Th...

Then I'm talking you through the main problems created with this type of inequality i...

When you're in an emergency situation your brain knows to laser focus in on what's happening right here right now. It's one of the amazing functions of the amygdala. But when we're in the midst of a trial or challenge, zooming in to have a more short-term focus can be useful.  The post Ep 115. Zoom In or Zoom Out appeared first on Jody Moore .

Circumstances are neutral. Always. Our brains don't always want to embrace this and often don't remember it, but it's still true. Today I'm teaching you three things that prevent us from really understanding this. Number one, we have memorized thought loops that have to be retrained in our brains or the feeling we have about circumstances happens instantly. Secondly, if everyone around us has the...

When we operate from gratitude and abundance, we attract more goodness into our lives. We get to experience the world differently.

There are three types of people operating in this world. The first type of person doesn't realize that they are the cause of all of their emotions and outcomes in life. They believe that outside forces are the reason and they delegate the responsibility to them leaving themselves powerless in their lives. The second type of person doesn't sit back and remain a victim. Instead they step up and chan...

Anxiety is defined as a form of worry, fear or stress but if you've ever experienced anxiety, you know it's much more than that.

There are three types of business. Your business, other people's business and God's business.

This is a waste of your mind juice. Today I am going to teach you how to stay in yo...

You know that feeling. Your lip starts quivering and despite your best effort you're unable to stop the waterworks. Crying is an automated response to intense emotion and it's a part of our humanness. It's nothing we need to apologize for. Our natural response is to begin worrying about what other people think or to tell ourselves to stop but neither of these is going to be helpful. Instead, just...

What makes us feel The Spirit? Is it doing things like reading our scriptures, saying prayers or going to the temple? If we don't feel it does it mean we aren't allowing it or that it's just not there? What if I'm doing all the right things but I'm not feeling close to God? Today I'm going to teach you what creates that feeling and I hope to correct the way we talk and think about this important p...

After working with hundreds of women on improving themselves and their lives I find that there is a lot of confusion about self compassion and self pity. Self pity keeps you stuck and is extremely disempowering and generally leaves us overwhelmed and hopeless. Self compassion on the other hand gets us moving in the right direction, brings us out of hiding and helps us redirect in a useful way. The...

Let's face it. Most of us are approval addicts. When other people adore us we give ourselves permission to believe we are worthy of adoration. This is only a problem when someone doesn't adore us or is mad at us. Today I want to give you some tools and knowledge about why this is a challenge and what to do to find some relief from that tricky part of your brain that wants to tell you that this is...

Your marriage is the most prevalent relationship in your life. When you are happy in it, your life feels happy. When it's difficult, your life feels difficult. Human nature is to believe that what's preventing happiness in our marriages has to do with how our spouse behaves or feels or treats us. This is never true. It is always up to us what we want to experience and the feelings driving us will...
