If only...

 On this episode, I share with you a very common damaging phrase with a big stressful impact.

This phrase starts each sentence off with “If only…”  It is really common (me included) to start off a sentence saying “if only….” (and then you fill in the blank) over and over again, believing that if things were different, it would change everything and then things would be so much better. Most of the time (if not all of the time), that actually isn't the case. 

And there is blame and shame involved in speaking this way, which only makes matters worse, which makes you feel even more awful and then even more stressed, angry, upset, & frustrated with yourself. 

What can we start our sentences off with instead? 

You can swap "If only" with "Even if". We explore different sentences using these 2 phrases and the shift in how it makes you feel (spoiler alert: so much better!)
