Bits Of Compassion
Welcome! I am so happy that you are here! I am your host Dawn Faye, my mission on the Bits of Compassion podcast is to empower others to find their passions, be curious to learn and reflect, to create meaning and fulfilment in their lives, and take initiative in prioritizing their wellbeing. I believe that making the world a better place starts with how you take care of you, from the inside out. When we are happier, we become better friends, better partners, better families, better peers, and better people. I discuss topics pertaining to personal discovery, navigating life, self-help, mindful living, wellbeing, and compassion. We all need a little more compassion in our lives, whether it be for ourselves, for others, or for the world around us. Wherever you are, I invite you to open your heart to live, love, and learn in your journey through this life. Let’s get into the Bits!

EPISODE NOTES
Categories of personal fulfillment: emotional, experiential, physical/health, social, financial, romantic, purpose/passions, and whatever brings light to your life.
intrinsic motivation: Comes purely from within from personal drive, enjoyment and creativity. Intrinsic motivation focuses on the activity and the process itself rather than focusing solely on the outcome and external factors. This internal drive can lead to increased engagement, persistence, and creativity.
Extrinsic motivation: comes from external rewards, praise, status, and acceptance from others, or to avoid punishment. With extrinsic motivation, It can feel like you are working towards a goal or accomplishment so that you have something to show for, it is simply a means to an end. People who are extrinsically motivated will do something even if it isn’t within itself enjoyable.

EPISODE NOTES
It is easy to become separated from the beautiful and vibrant world around you when you live inside your mind. Sometimes the cause of over thinking stems from the lack of anything else to occupy your mind. You must make room in your life for personal discovery, self-care, passions, hobbies, challenges, and learning to take time away from negative thought patterns.
The practice of awareness: When you begin to overthink, it can feel like an endless tunnel. Reclaim your power by becoming aware of the fact that you are overthinking. Through awareness, you create a separation between you and the thought, you and the negativity. Now you can decide how much power you allow the thought to have. You can decide to positively shift the thought and redefine it.
The tools: -Be intentional with your worlds that you use to communicate with yourself and others.
-Use intentional deep breathing to help your awareness back to the present moment.
-Challenge your assumptions by returning to facts
-Use mindful movement and moving meditation to release negative stagnant energy and promote presence
-Make time for hobbies, learning, and challenging your brain and comfort zone to increase confidence, resilience, and experiences to help you get closer to yourself and uncover what you truly enjoy in life!
