070 - Betty Byte: What Your Heavy Emotions Can Teach You About YOU

Howdy ho, Bettys and Jacks! Are we a little bit country? Not really, but this Luke Combs cover of the Tracy Chapman classic is SO GOOD. Mary grew up in Southern Utah, where her family tried (unsuccessfully) to fit in by getting into Country music, but this checkout girl will always love her Casey Kasem Top 40.

 

Lexy talks about how to objectively see your problems instead of getting lost in them. We’re adding a little bit to our conversation from Episode 69, and a big part of our problems is that we don’t love how the “Monkey Chatter” (the constant narration in your brain), or whatever problem that we have makes us feel. Heavy emotions come with our problems, but it’s what we DO with those emotions and problems that help us define and deal with them. It’s easy to walk in circles in our problems, but when we can objectively see where we want to go, we don’t have to get lost in them.

 

Emotions have frequencies, and when we’re stuck in low-frequency emotions like shame and sadness, we can’t really think straight. It’s okay to ask why you may be feeling these emotions, but don’t get stuck in them. Lexy talks a little about ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Read more about these modalities here. 

 

Our Better Betty Quick Tip (BBQT) is to sit and think about what your biggest problem is this week. Ask yourself how you can objectively look at this problem, and how this problem is triggering to you. What are the problems telling you about you?
