Work-Life Brilliance with Denise R. Green

How to Say No With Grace Not Guilt - Part One

#017: Denise explains why it's so very important that we manage our brains, so we say no to things that don't serve us, and conversely, say yes to that which helps us become our best selves. She explains why our brains don't want us to say no, and how to redirect our brains to make it easier to decline requests and avoid distractors. She offers tools to help you get clear about how you're spending your time, and where you need to shift your attention. 

Resilience

#016: Resilience isn't about being tough; it's about bouncing back from adversity. We aren't born with it: we cultivate it (or not) depending on the story we tell about our circumstances when seemingly bad stuff happens. Resilience is necessary to live your most brilliant life. In this episode, you will learn the mindset you need to develop true, lasting resilience, so you become the hero of your story, no matter what happens. 

The One Word that Will Keep You From Your Best Self

#015: There is one word that will keep you from ever becoming a better version of you. We say it and think it all the time and it keeps us stagnant. The word is 'should'. When we say it about ourselves, we feel guilt and shame. When we say it about others, we feel resentment. When you catch the 'should' and upgrade to a must (or drop it entirely), you propel yourself forward. You go from guilt for letting yourself down, to clarity and action. 

Forgiveness

#014: Forgiveness is so misunderstood. And our misconceptions of it cause us to hold onto old resentments, sapping our energy and harming our health, mental state, relationships, and reputation. In this episode, Denise explains what forgiveness is and why it's a brilliant gift to give you yourself and why it's hard to decide to do, and steps to dropping grudges of any age or weight.
