Thursday Dec 05, 2024
Hello Shiny Minds,
Have you ever found yourself in a communication mishap, wondering how it happened? Sometimes, the most damaging communication errors are the ones we're completely unaware of.
The Four Common Communication Mistakes:
1️⃣ Lack of Validation 💔: When we feel understood, acknowledged, and respected, we build stronger connections.
2️⃣ Lack of Listening 👂: In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become so focused on our own thoughts and agendas that we fail to truly listen to others.
3️⃣ Giving Unsolicited Advice 🤐: Offering advice when it's not asked for can come across as condescending or dismissive.
4️⃣ Lack of Acknowledgment 😢: Overlooking the importance of acknowledgment can lead to feelings of resentment and disconnection.
By becoming aware of these common communication mistakes and making a conscious effort to improve your skills, you can build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
Remember, effective communication is a skill that can be learned and practiced over time.

The Amygdala 🧠 Your Brain's Survival Center ⚡️
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Thursday Oct 31, 2024
Hello Shiny Minds!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed by emotions? The amygdala, a part of your brain, plays a crucial role in these responses. It's constantly scanning our environment, assessing for potential threats, and preparing us for action.
Let's explore its four primary functions:
- Fight 😤: When the amygdala perceives a threat, it triggers the "fight" response.
- Flight 😱: If the amygdala deems the threat too overwhelming, it may activate the "flight" response.
- Freeze 🥶: In some cases, the amygdala can induce a "freeze" response, leaving you feeling paralyzed or unable to act.
- Faint 🤕: As a last resort, the amygdala may trigger a "faint" response, causing you to lose consciousness.
By understanding its four primary functions, you can gain valuable insights into your own emotional patterns and develop strategies to manage them more effectively.
Remember, your amygdala is not your enemy; it's a tool that can be harnessed for your benefit. With awareness and practice, you can cultivate greater emotional resilience and improve your overall well-being.

Want to Be More Confident? 🙋♀️💪 Start Here! 🚀
Thursday Oct 24, 2024
Thursday Oct 24, 2024
Hello Shiny Minds,
I kept hearing the same joke for years: "If you could just get over your shyness, Shiny!" :)
Obviously I was never perceived as a "shy" person by others around me, who knew me. On the contrary, my confidence and assertiveness was even "too much" for some people that I interacted with.
But...
I had something similarly challenging inside.
I did not feel strong enough to speak my truth. So I either held back or said something I didn't really feel like.
I was too afraid of being judged, being shamed and being wrong.
Until I realized that I was the one judging myself... limiting myself... not allowing myself to express freely, truthfully, vulnerably...
Because of my childhood conditioning...
Let's call it "recovering people pleaser".
Can you relate?
If you can, you're also gonna enjoy today's topic.
Key Strategies to Overcome Shyness
- Shift Your Focus 🤓: Instead of worrying about what others think, concentrate on your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
- Challenge Negative Thoughts 🤯: Replace self-doubt with positive affirmations.
- Listen to Your Empowering Voice 🦻: Your mind is a battleground of different voices.
Overcoming shyness is a journey, not a destination.
By implementing these strategies and cultivating a positive mindset, you can break free from the limitations of shyness and embrace a more confident and fulfilling life.
Remember, you are capable of great things.
You just gotta believe in yourself, even though when all the odds are against you; even though nobody else believes in you; even though you are the only one rooting for you!
Shyness is a symptom, a signal, inviting you to look at what's beneath that so that you can accept all parts of yourself and go from all kinds of shy'ness to shiny'ness!

Hello Shiny Minds,
Today, on the day of our super Hunter's full moon, let's take a look at our relationships and see our patterns 16% brighter as we shall see the full moon tonight!
As you can tell, I love the cosmic events; because we all are cosmic events coming to planet earth, with different purposes.
And that's also the reason why we want to bring this cosmic level of consciousness to our relationships.
We want to explore each other's truth before assuming we know them.
We need to provide more space and silence to really truly listen and make each other feel "heard".
We want to be like the stars and the moon...
Going through the phases of darkness but always landing on brightness and shininess...
