Episodes

Day 119 || Read the room 30.05.2021

You are a powerful energetic being and you should wield that power wisely. Practice listening more genuinely and not confusing other’s words with your own interpretations. Practice responding more honestly to what the room needs in the present moment, and remember the key is to observe and not absorb. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* ever...

Day 118 || Boundaries > Ultimatums 29.05.2021

Boundaries come from a place of self love while ultimatums come from a place of fear. You can’t use the excuse of a boundary to attempt to control another person. Boundaries are meant to center around what you can do yourself to sustain your mental wellbeing instead of what others can do to sustain your mental wellbeing. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you...

Day 117 || Red Flags 28.05.2021

So many of us are so willing to make excuses for the people in our lives because we are comfortable or we may be afraid of addressing it for a variety of reasons. It may feel like it’s easier to ignore things but we forget how exhausting it can be having to jump through hoops in the mental olympics to justify other people’s bad behavior or red flags. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motiva...

Day 116 || Thinking vs. Emotional Brain 27.05.2021

While our thinking brain is often more analytical and more logical by nature, it doesn’t mean the logic it uses is infallible. Anything that happens to you is processed through your subjective lens so the fact that you have a unique perspective may not always allow you to see things fully -regardless of how thoughtful and analytical you are about it. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motiva...

Day 115 || Toxic Positivity 26.05.2021

Toxic positivity means we are in a state of denial and when we repress emotions we may miss important cues that can keep us out of the negative cycles that we were so afraid of falling into in the first place. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing int...

Day 114 || Compliments or Critiques 25.05.2021

A good rule of thumb for critiques and compliments is: if a person can’t change it in thirty seconds, it is not appropriate to comment on it. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing into your daily life. Build momentum - better your life. Find content a...

Day 113 || Distrusting Yourself 24.05.2021

Self trust is the key to self confidence so one of the worst things you can do to harm another person is by causing them them distrust themselves. When we lie or cheat or gaslight our loved ones or when we belittle their feelings or discount their opinions, we are causing them to distrust their inner voice and that is a heinous act. This is why honesty, openness, and accountability are such import...

Day 112 || Trusting Yourself 23.05.2021

Day 112 || Self trust is the key to self confidence. As you begin to trust yourself to do and follow through with things for yourself, you will begin to feel worthy enough to continue doing and following through on more and more things. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy...

Day 111 || You're Your Purpose 22.05.2021

We’ve talked about How purpose is overrated but now I wanna try redirecting your continuous search for purpose to instead, start supply it. Instead of chasing it, you will bring it everywhere you go. You become the writer in addition to the main character. With that, you can continue to develop your story however you want and not be held back by the old beliefs that things must bring you joy becau...

Day 110 || Positive Bias 21.05.2021

Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning.

Day 109 || Negative Bias 20.05.2021

Don’t stifle yourself through negative thought patterns, instead open yourself up to the very real possibility that our negative thoughts are not only incorrect but they are holding us back. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing into your daily life....

Day 108 || Confirmation Bias 19.05.2021

We must first take responsibility for our own false beliefs and remember we are not alone on our journeys of unlearning. This is important work and can help us meet our highest good instead of living in a place of fear and hatred and division. Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new h...

Day 107 || Conflict Avoidance 18.05.2021

So many people think that avoiding confrontation means not bringing anything up that may inconvenience the people around us but in reality, ignoring it is likely the reason things escalate from potential to actual conflicts. We can’t stonewall (or deny) an issue into nonexistence. If something is calling for your attention. Give it attention. Ignoring it will only cause more drama in the long run....

Day 106 || Laid Back 17.05.2021

How easy going are you ? While it’s incredibly important to stand up for yourself when you’re being slighted, call out true injustices, and follow your intuition, it’s equally as important to be flexible and accommodating of the constant real life possibility that shit may go wrong at any given moment? Make Your Damn Bed is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* eve...

Day 105 || Shadow Werk 16.05.2021

Picking at an old wound will only cause it more trouble. But ignoring it when it’s acting up isn’t healthy either. Focus on the wound when you need to. If you want to do shadow work to heal, you don’t have to go out search for triggers. Things will naturally come up that send you back into this shadow self, and this is where the practice of responding instead of reacting can be so powerful. Transm...

Day 104 || Whatcha Gonna Miss? 15.05.2021

The strategy I use is finding what I will be nostalgic for later, while I am in the moment . I look around for the things I will remember and miss years down the road. You can do this through smells, sounds, feelings, or visually. Look around your environment now and think about the things you will be nostalgic for in the future. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your be...

Day 103 || Growth Can Happen Anywhere 14.05.2021

Sometimes, shifting environments is essential to our growth. Leaving behind a job or a partner that isn’t right for you is not only strong and beautiful, but highly recommended, but if you’re the type to keep hopping from relationship to relationship, job to job, or city to city in search of something better, you may be disappointed in your results. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play wh...

Day 102 || Daily Care Tasks 13.05.2021

While it’s incredibly important to sustain a clean house for your mental and physical health - it’s also important to remember that if you don’t keep it clean well enough for your liking, it’s not a morally damning event. Sure, you may have to deal with more stress within the mess, but you shouldn’t also have to feel guilty about having the mess in the first place. @DomesticBlisters on TikTok (cre...

Day 101 || Chaotic Comfort 12.05.2021

Allowing yourself to find peace in chaos is not a bad thing, in fact its a very handy tool to have in a chaotic world, but it’s just as important to be able to find safety in the quiet moments as well. You deserve to have the best and that means allowing yourself time and space to really experience peace and quiet every once in a while, and ideally, you may begin to actually enjoy the process. Mak...

Day 100 || Love 11.05.2021

Love - There is far more love in this world than we see on the surface and I think it’d be a hell of a better place for everyone if we weren’t all so afraid of opening our hearts and sharing our love as loudly as we can. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing into your dail...

Day 99 || Body Neutrality 10.05.2021

Body Neutrality is not about falling in love with your physical body, it is about finding peace within it. We are stuck in these meat suits until we die so we may as well find ways to enjoy and take advantage of what we’re stuck with while we can. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate a healthy habit of your...

Day 98 || Respect Them Back, Dammit 09.05.2021

We must all work to create a comfortable environment for people to say no to us. We can accomplish this by being respectful and open to people’s differences and personal preferences. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed* every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate new healthy habits of your choosing into your daily life. Build momentum - better your l...

Day 97 || Emotional Nuance 08.05.2021

Emotional complexity is a fact of life and accepting that fact means we’re becoming more emotionally intelligent. When we begin new things we may be nervous and hopeful and excited and overwhelmed all at once. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning. Each season is 66 days long to incorporate a healthy habit of your choosing into your daily life. Build m...

Day 96 || Splitting 07.05.2021

Dichotomous thinking is manageable and even though it may seem like the end of the world, it isn’t. As long as you remember - We are not defined by what we think. We are not defined by what we produce. We are not defined by what we do or don’t do. The world is nuanced and deep and so are we. A real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morning. Each season is 66 days...

Day 95 || Emotionally Unavailable 06.05.2021

Healthy relationships with open communication means: We shouldn’t have to over-explain ourselves but we also shouldn’t silently suffer. We shouldn’t feel desperate for attention and we really shouldn’t feel lonely because of our partners. Everyone just wants to feel seen and heard. That includes you and your partner. If we can bridge that gap and provide that for everyone involved - ideally all of...
