How Our Attribution Style Can Impact Our Happiness

Helllooooo Lovelies, Today I discuss attribution styles; what they are, what the factors of each style are, how they can impact our mood and what to look for within our own lives and ways to reflect on what our own attribution style is. I loved today's episode because it was such a nice way to realize the impact of how we react to the events that happen in our own lives. We know the benefit of thinking more positively but reacting positively seems to take on a few other different factors. When things happen are you more optimistic or pessimistic... depending on your answer, how is it impacting you and your happiness? Unsure of where you land, maybe you feel like you are a bit of both? You'll discover some great examples of attribution styles so you can better understand how they might arise in your own life.

Think The Best Of People & Give Them The Benefit Of The Doubt

Hello Lovelies, I'm excited about this episode because I think it's one we can all listen to as a gentle reminder to give people the benefit of the doubt. I’ve been practicing this for a while and I’m a lot more open minded than I used to be but it can still be easy to fall into those old thought patterns. Consciously giving people the benefit of the doubt is easier said than done in the moment. However, each time I do give someone the benefit of the doubt, not only do they benefit but I do too. Because, I’m not over thinking about the situation, what just happened and why it happened, and questioning why someone was acting a certain way. I want to stress that giving people the benefit of the doubt is not about making excuses for people or allowing them to get away with things they shouldn’t, rather it’s about not automatically jumping to a negative conclusion as to why someone has done something or been a certain way to you. This episode has a great takeaway message because it’s believed that people who view the behaviors of others in a positive light are happier. And who doesn't want that?

How You Speak To Yourself Matters. Your Words Matter.

Hello Lovelies, After a hard week, with a lot of heavy thoughts, it can feel really hard to shake and we can carry that around with us. Into our work places, with our friends and family, our kids. It can be hard to let go because it’s a helpless feeling, decisions out of our control. A reminder to continue to look after yourself. Healed people heal people. How you speak to yourself matters more than ever (it always matters) in times like these. Your words matter. More than you know but I really want to remind you of the conversation you're having with yourself. Oft it’s an important one. Don’t ignore how you speak to yourself. I take you through a beautiful affirmation practice to finish. You are strong. Inhale peace and exhale negativity. PSA: the edit was a little off with the music starting apologies.

Come Home To Yourself

This episode is a riff and I really went on a bit of a journey but I think the idea is there. To trust yourself. Trust that you know what will feel good and right and that it will show up when you are being your most authentic self. Come home to yourself and remember that you are so loved. If you are listening to this episode then it was meant for you and I hope you feel less alone from listening.

PSA: Move Your Body With A Different Intensity

Hi Lovelies, Today I discuss the importance of moving your body in a different intensity. I ramble because I recorded this straight of the back of a run and the energy was high however the message was that it’s just one small shift. Especially important if you are someone who works at a desk or you’ve been driving a lot or even if you’ve been in one area for the day, for example if you work in a classroom or clothing store. Moving your body in a way that contrasts to that will make you feel incredible. Adding intensity into your life is a guaranteed way to feel more alive. It doesn’t have to be cross fit or heavy weight lifting, there's so many ways to add intensity into our movement, it can start as a small shift. Give it a listen and I feel a few more episodes on this topic coming ;) Also, apologies for the aggressive F bomb during, I got passionate haha. Please let me know your thoughts of this episode by visiting me at @lindaquijano on Instagram. At the end I put a call out to let me know what are ways you move your body and whats you're favourite way to move your body. So you can let me know by sending me a message OR even better tag my while your moving your body! Thank you for being here. I am so so grateful to be in your ears!
