Positive Thoughts

This episode’s guest is Lisa Marie Platske and they talk about stress, understanding boundaries as well as the value of your “yes” and the value of your “no.”

Sharon begins by asking about what Lisa Marie sees with all the leaders she work with around the world and how we put more stress on ourselves than we need to.

Lisa Marie discusses the self-imposed deadlines and expectations that we create for ourselves and that she believes in giving herself the gift of self-care and spaciousness so that she could give the best of herself.

0:06:25.8 With so many self-imposed expectations like “I should be doing that and I should be doing that,” Sharon asks Lisa Marie for suggestions on how to change the tape of living up to someone’s expectations that we keep playing in our head to which she said that the voice that should matter most is your own voice.

0:11:04.1 She talks about her Designing Your Destiny book and the three questions that she asks: Who are you? What do you want? Why does it matter?

Sharon says that regardless of our diagnosis and life situation, it’s really important that we get clear on who we are and why we’re here.

0:16:49.2 It is also important to shift from “Do I matter?” to “Why does it matter?” because there’s absolutely an “it” that propels us in making a difference in the world and that the size or the placement of that “it” doesn’t matter as long as it’s important to you.

As Sharon says, “Don’t let anyone judge you out of your ‘it.’ Define your ‘it’ and go for it.”

0:23:49.4 At this point, they talk about the importance of the “yeses” and “no’s,” the consequences of the “yeses” and the “no’s,” setting boundaries even with people who are very close to us and that every time you say “yes” to something, you simultaneously say “no” to something else. And so, knowing, understanding, and recognizing your non-negotiables is very important.

0:46:37.0 With just a few minutes left, Lisa Marie lets us know how we can find more about her, her books, and the work that she does.
