Do you feel under-appreciated for your efforts on behalf of your family, your patients, and/or your institutions?

Have your expectations of others in expressing their love, thanks, and appreciation been mismatched with what you perceive is "right" or deserved?

Listen for tools, strategies, and a framework of understanding to help you move forward with mindfulness and compassion.

Feeling not appreciated enough is usually a case of mismatched expectations and beliefs.

We have an idea of what others should do to appreciate us.

We also believe that they should know what will make us feel appreciated.

We expect others to read our minds and be fair.

Your expectations may or may not be reasonable- even if they feel 100 percent reasonable to you. Even if they are reasonable they may or not be feasible or possible.

Could you drop your expectations and decide to enjoy the day (and your life) moment by moment exactly as they are?

If you are not happy then, choose to stay, choose to keep doing what you are doing - or not.

If you decide to stay for now, notice how others show you appreciation, even if it doesn’t look like you think it should.

Need help with this?

Have you said “I’m sorry” even though the circumstance wasn’t your fault?

Have you started off a conversation or a presentation with “I’m sorry?”

Do you say "Sorry I’m running behind", "Sorry for taking up space or time in a group session", "Sorry for crying", "Sorry for not understanding", or "Sorry I am not available"?

Listen to understand why you over-apologize and the impact it can have on your life, health, and happiness.

Learn about common situations where you don’t need to apologize and mindful and strategic tips to help you stop overapologizing.

What if, instead of apologizing you said:

• "Thank you for waiting"

• "I appreciate your patience"

• "Hope you enjoyed a pause while helped someone else."

• "I’m curious about.."

• "I would love to know more about ..."

• "I wish you felt better."

• "I wish it was different ."

Listen to learn more tips.

When have you apologized where you didn’t need to?

Why did you apologize?

What were the thoughts, emotions, and body sensations that led to the apology?

Mindful coaching is super helpful to let go of habits such as over-apologizing. Intentional language is a game changer in improving your health, happiness, and the way you feel and move through the world.

We encourage you to enjoy this episode’s mindful moment: Gratitude as an Antidote.

An amusing discussion about mindful decision-making with 18-year-old Liam Mahoney, a high school senior.

In this episode, Liam shares his college decision-making process.

He showcases his extremely abundant mindset, his positivity bias, and why he chose to become a UC Berkeley 2028 rather than a UCLA 2028.

Liam shares how he made an authentic decision for himself despite conflicting advice from his two brothers and his grandparents. He shares why he didn’t let the opinions of his peers influence his decision. He also shares what parents can do to be helpful to their children and young adults in the decision-making process.

Our discussion also touches on the luck factor, the strategy of having your own back, consulting your future self, connecting with who you want to become, and the value of patience and sitting with a made decision for a while.

We hope you will leave inspired, amused, and better equipped for your next big decision.

“Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.” - Paul Coehlo, The Alchemist
