![4 Steps to Reframe Failure and Tips to Develop New Habits - Seize the Day with Natalie Miller-Snell]()
April 2, 2020
Welcome to Seize the Day Podcast with Natalie Miller-Snell.
In todays podcast I discuss steps to help us reframe failure and offer tips to help develop new habits.
When we perceive things have failed, it’s important to address the cause and not the ‘symptom’. Conversely, it is also important to review and celebrate when things go right.
Theory and evidence suggests ‘little and often’ is a sustainable way to achieve long term habit changes, and these can be formed in as little as a few months.
“Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.” Will Durant, 1900s
I hope you enjoy the show!

Find a Hobby You Love - Curves Welcome
Curves Welcome with Suzie Carr
It’s often through embracing a hobby that we find our passion. The point of a hobby is to have fun doing an activity that lowers our stress and allows us a break from watching the clock and checking off to-do items on our list. It’s a chance to be a kid again and approach life with that same spirited-adventure. When we embrace this side of life, we live it, and we live it with a smile on our face. We feel lighter and more excited about the moments ahead of us.
Join me for this episode as we explore ways to find a hobby you will love.

How to Create Positive Change through Flexibility - Curves Welcome
Curves Welcome with Suzie Carr
The world is never going to fit our ideals. We will always live in a state of frustration if we expect life to go a certain way. The beauty of life is that it does challenge us and make us acutely aware that we are not one person living on an island with a magic button to turn things on and off as we wish. We are living in a complex system amongst others with differing, often competing goals, and if we wish to live in harmony with these differences, then we have to learn how to be more flexible.
Join me for this episode as we explore ways to become more flexible in life.

Curves Welcome with Suzie Carr
Let’s face it, receiving criticism can be stressful and deflating to your confidence depending on how it’s delivered, but more importantly, how you interpret it. See that’s the key right there. With anything that can potentially affect us, it’s our interpretation of information that can either make or break us. If we can learn to open up to critique, we can improve.

From time to time we crave a reboot in life. We may be tired and in need of something new or perhaps we were tossed out into the wild by something outside of our control.

How to Deal with Empathy Fatigue - Curves Welcome
Curves Welcome with Suzie Carr
I’d describe myself as an empath. When someone is hurt, I’m hurt. When someone is sad, I’m sad. When someone is in a bad mood, I’m in a bad mood. I seem to absorb the energy of whatever is happening around me. This can be all consuming and detrimental to my well-being. I realized after a while that taking on the weight of the world’s problems would destroy me if I didn’t set some safety measures and boundaries into place.
Today I wanted to share some of those.
