207. Stop Judging Yourself

Hello hello beautiful souls HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to my show. This podcast  empowers and inspires you to be your best self.  I’m your host, Lucy Liu. Today I have a powerful message to share with you, as we enter the new year, we need to resolve to stop criticizing ourselves and  celebrate our integrity instead. My hope for you in the new year is to stop judging yourself! 

The start of a new year brings opportunities to refresh and set new intentions. Setting goals is great, but this year my wish for you is to focus on something just as important: self-compassion and acceptance. Ladies, it’s time to break out of the cycle of self-judgment and embrace the unique individuals that you are.

From societal expectations to internalized ideals, peer pressure can be overwhelming. 

1.The first step is to recognize the impact self-judgment and self-blame has on our lives. Also start with being aware of what triggers your self-judgment. Take some time to journal or reflect on how it affects your self-esteem? How does it affect your confidence? And how does it affect your overall happiness? Where are these judgements coming from? 

Let’s be honest, society bombards us with unrealistic standards of beauty, success, and perfection. It’s time to question these ideals and redefine success on our own terms. 

2. So the second step is to embrace your uniqueness because it is what sets you apart from others. Always remember: You are enough just the way you are.

3. Instead of being your own harshest critic, try to be your own biggest supporter. Challenge your inner critic, once you notice the inner negative self talk, step up to that inner voice and question it. 

4. Cultivating self-compassion is a transformative journey. Give yourself  the kind of kindness and understanding you would give to a friend. Recognize your strengths and celebrate your wins, no matter how small they are, celebrate them. When you embrace who you really are, you exude confidence and inspire others to do the same. I’m also constantly practicing these things myself, especially letting go of the need for external validation and focus on your own values ​​and passions because your uniqueness is your strength.

5. Avoid comparisons. Comparing yourself to others often fuels feelings of inadequacy and judgment. Unless you want to use comparison as a tool to motivate yourself. Refer to episode 200 about comparing yourself to others. Otherwise, stop judging yourself and avoid comparing yourself to others.

6. Forgive yourself for any mistakes. As long as we are breathing living beings, we all inevitably make mistakes. Acknowledge your mistakes, learn from your mistakes, but never judge yourself or blame yourself for past mistakes.

As we begin this new year, let’s decide together to stop criticizing ourselves and start celebrating the amazing women in our lives. As your journey towards self-acceptance continues, remember that the benefits are immeasurable. Join me on this powerful journey of embracing our authenticity and freeing ourselves from the chains of self-judgment.

Focus on your growth.

Focus on the present and the beautiful blessings ahead.

Focus on being consistent towards your self promises.

Focus on embracing YOU because you are 1000% worth it. 

Thank you for tuning in to The Lucy Liu Show. If you found today’s short episode inspiring, please share it with another amazing woman in your life. Together, let’s make 2024 the year of self-love and judgment-free growth. Until next time, embrace who you really are and remember that you are more than enough and you are remarkable!

205. How To Deal With FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out)

FOMO FOMO FOMO

In today’s episode I’m going to teach you how to best deal with FOMO

FOMO, is the Fear Of Missing Out, is a feeling of anxiety or unease caused by the belief that others might be having more fun and rewarding experiences that you’re not a part of.

It’s a very common feeling in today’s social media-driven world, where we are constantly bombarded with images and updates of other people’s lives and it reminds us that if we are not a part of that group or event or we are not living that kind of life we are missing out. 

Here are some tips for dealing with FOMO:

1. Be mindful: 

Be aware of the triggers that set off your FOMO. When you feel the urge to check social media or compare yourself to others, take a moment to pause and reflect on your feelings. Limit your social media use: Social media can be a major source of FOMO. Try to limit your time on social media or take a break altogether. Instead, focus on building meaningful relationships with the people in your life. If a certain person or account always triggers you to feel bad, unfollow them. If that person is a family member or someone close you don’t want to unfollow, just mute them so you don’t see their posts. 

2. Shift your Focus and focus on the present: 

Instead of dwelling on what you might be missing out on, focus on the present moment and the things you are grateful for. Practice mindfulness or meditation to help you stay present and centered. You can practice this by for example if you see a butterfly say out loud “Hey Miss Butterfly, you are looking beautiful today!” That way you are bringing awareness to what’s in front of you instead of away from you. 

3. Prioritize your goals: 

Set clear goals for yourself and focus on achieving them. When you have a clear sense of purpose, it’s easier to avoid distractions and stay focused on what’s important to you and only you.

4. Cultivate and embrace JOMO

JOMO is a newer concept that means the joy of missing out. It is a form of joy because it involves positive feelings from actually being absent from going to an event or experience rather than the being there. So this is the type of joy we want to cultivate. Enjoy what you’re doing in each moment without worrying about what everyone else is doing. It is your life, you get to choose what you do, where you want to be and who you want to spend your time with. And there is no right or wrong answer. Always remember it is your life!

5. Practice self-care: 

Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and make time for hobbies and activities that bring you joy. If possible, I encourage you to hit the pause button now and go make a list of joyful activities that you wish to do or have only been wishing that you would get around to sometime or someday, schedule them into your calendar immediately.

So remember, it’s totally normal to feel FOMO from time to time. But by being mindful, staying present, focusing on your goals and well-being, and cultivating more joy of missing out, you can overcome it and live a more fulfilling life.

Cheers to you living your epic life by your design and I’ll see you next week.
