This is episode number two, and today we're talking all about staying positive through the chaos and bad times.

Hello and welcome to the Taking Back Your Power podcast. I'm Isabel Palacios and I specifically created and designed this podcast to empower, inspire, and help you cultivate a powerful mindset to build

your best life and live out your dreams. May you always remember your true beauty, your true

worth, and your true power always come from within. So get your coffee, smoothie, or wine

ready, and let's get started.

Thank you guys so much for joining me on the second episode.

I'm so pleased with all the positive feedback I received on my first episode.

And thank you guys for being so supportive.

This is a whole new thing for me. And I'm still learning.

So I appreciate you guys as patience and just your support it's really meant the world to me and with all that positive energy

I am so inspired for today's podcast episode which you guys requested on many occasions and I did a poll

on Instagram stories and on my Twitter and asked you

guys what do you guys want to hear on my next podcast episode and a large consensus was staying

positive through the chaos through the bad times and this is something that did not come

easily to me in the beginning of my journey and now

it's just second nature for me so i want to talk about this whole idea of staying positive

everyone always tells you when things are going wrong oh you need to stay positive oh you need to

have positive affirmations

or do this and do that. And a lot of times when we're going through crap, that's the last thing we

want to hear is, oh, stay positive, be happy, look towards the future. You know, when we're going

through hard times, we just want to sit home and cry and have a self-pity party and just say, why me?

And cry about our circumstances instead of looking on the bright side and being positive and being optimistic, which is often really hard.
