The Mind Skin Connection with Jas Boothe

Episode 180  Are you ready to get pumped up?  I recorded this episode for you after a treadmill session with myself where I was heavily inspired by Lizzo and her song Good as Hell. She says, "Boss UP and Change Your Life, and I took that lyric to heart in the song.  I have spent a couple of months feeling down about something out of my control and decided I needed a kick in my bootie, and maybe you do too.  In this episode, I talk about: What I've been "wallowing" in lately Life begins when you get out of your comfort zone Delay gratification for a higher goal The secret to a faster change is taking the road that is less traveled How fear deters you from success How to get results is by doing something consistently Do not compare yourself with others; we are all in different chapters Rejoice in your little progress; baby steps are still steps  I'm talking about "bossing up" when things are out of your control and you are spending too much time trying to control your circumstance. If you are suffering from depression, illness or grieving, please know that you need time to heal and recover. I understand how you feel. Please take care of yourself.  Connect with me here: Website:   https://www.lorimassicot.com/ Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/lorimassicot/?hl=en   *****Thank you so much for listening.

Episode 169  This episode comes from my heart as a socially anxious person who thought that drinking alcohol was required in order to socialize.  I know how challenging it is right now to face people you haven't seen because of COVID, especially if you are someone who is not drinking.  I created this episode based on a question I received from a woman who is 1 year and 8 months sober. I want to help you look at socializing sober in a whole new light.      Topics include: What socializing means in a society that thinks it's normal to drink Where my social anxiety started Where my drinking story started Feeling like I "had" to drink to socialize Feeling like you "need" to drink to be fun or have fun The different between feeling boring or being bored Using alcohol to tolerate someone How to redefine fun Setting a boundary for yourself rather than other people Not feeling guilty for choices you make Coping mechanisms for you socializing toolbox Visualizing what will go right Telling other people your intentions not to drink If you are feeling like you're going to go back to drinking because the world is opening up again or you can't find your sweet spot in being social without drinking - you are not the only one.  I stand with you in sobriety, and I appreciate you.  Thank you for listening to this episode, if you like the podcast, please take a couple of minutes to leave a rating and review.
