0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, episode 104. This is the part where.
0:10.3	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief to grow, evolve, and create a future you can truly look forward to.
0:24.2	Here's your host, Master Certified Life Coach, Grief Expert, Widow, and Mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:32.7	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. So I'm going to teach you today something that's pretty
0:39.2	powerful. And it was inspired by what's been going on in my own personal life, which I'm also
0:45.3	going to tell you about so you can see how I take the tools and I use them in my life and then I teach
0:52.1	them to you. So it's not just me teaching from this high
0:57.0	preachy place. It's me being a messy human who is imperfect and flawed and has a human brain
1:03.7	with a barking dog that lives inside of it and needs these tools just as much as anybody else does, just as much as every person
1:13.2	who listens to this podcast, including you. So I'm going to teach you this tool and then I'll tell you

1:24.8	So here's the thing. Most of us are accidentally creating
1:29.9	suffering on top of our grief, and we don't even know it's optional. We're doing it in those moments
1:36.4	when life falls short of our expectations, when other people aren't behaving like we want them to,
1:42.6	when we don't like how we behaved,
1:44.6	or when something just isn't going according to plan. Maybe we're experiencing a negative
1:49.7	emotion or maybe an old belief pops up that we no longer want to think. These things happen
1:55.7	and then we decide that they aren't supposed to happen. Sound familiar? But the truth is that things
2:04.7	like this are supposed to happen, they do happen. And telling ourselves they shouldn't be happening
2:11.1	just makes it harder for us to deal with the reality of what's happened. So it's our resistance to what is that makes us less
2:20.6	effective in dealing with what is. Our resistance makes it harder for us to show up in life the way
2:28.2	we want to show up. Our resistance to what happens in life creates our suffering in life.
