Gathered Truths Podcast

<p>Hope.</p><p>One of my mentors reminds me that when I am hoping, I am not in the present moment. This isn't the kind of hope that I am talking about. I am talking about the kind of hope that occurs when a weight has been lifted. Sometimes, we know that we have been weighed down and sometimes we have no idea how MUCH we have been weighed down.</p><p>Join me for this episode about hope, listening and truth.</p><p>Thank you, husband, for the edit and thank you, Joe Seiders for the music.</p><p>*Apologies for the audio as I was trying something different with the microphone. Needless to say, I won't do it again. To borrow from Liz Gilbert, sometimes done is better than good. And today, that is the case.</p>

<p>This episode Jen talks about some advice her Dad gave her when she was a kid on the golf course and how it is SO appropriate for our current situation.</p><p>During this uncertain time, it is important to get some exercise and create peace and ease around our thoughts an emotions.</p><p>FREE Online Yoga on ZOOM with Jen | Monday - Friday at 10a PST | <a href="https://zoom.us/j/2775016158" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://zoom.us/j/2775016158</a></p><p>FREE 5 Minute Meditations on Jen's IGTV <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jen.yockey/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/jen.yockey/</a> or on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1490021717795122/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1490021717795122/</a></p><p>Women's Group: <a href="https://www.jenyockey.com/the-path-1" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.jenyockey.com/the-path-1</a></p><p>The reading at the end of the podcast was by David Whyte from his book called Consolations.

<p><strong>Resolutions, Goals, Intentions... OH MY!</strong></p><p>Did you set a New Year's Resolution? Have you already abandoned it? Are you feeling guilty about this? Irritated? WHY did you set the resolution?</p><p>Maybe we need to shift our focus to HOW we want to feel and then set goals/intentions/resolutions based on THAT.</p><p>Resources:</p><p><a href="https://gate.sc?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.daniellelaporte.com&token=100caa-1-1579535617902" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.daniellelaporte.com</a></p><p><a href="https://gate.sc?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thriveforeverfit.com&token=bcb77-1-1579535617902" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.thriveforeverfit.com</a></p><p><a href="https://gate.sc?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jenyockey%2Fbooks.com&token=b6c44e-1-1579535617902" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.jenyockey/books.com</a></p><p><a href="https://gate.sc?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.habitnest.com&token=30d49e-1-1579535617903" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">www.habitnest.com</a></p><p>Thank you to my husband for editing this podcast and to Joe for the music!</p>

<p>Join Jen this week to discuss forgiveness, resentments and why holding on to all of it is bad for YOU.</p><p>One of my favorite quotes is: "not forgiving is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to get sick." Another favorite quote is by Seane Corn about forgiveness: "You can't bypass the 'f#$! you' to get to the 'I forgive you."</p><p>I think that many of us confuse forgiveness with condoning. Forgiveness has ZERO to do with condoning and everything to do with our own freedom.</p><p>Thank you, as always, to my husband for his awesome editing (I had a huge coughing fit and he edited it all out!). Thank you, Joe Seiders for music... it is my FAVE.</p><p>Link to the the Forgiveness IQ by Belmont Wellness: https://belmontwellness.com/forgiveness-self-test-2/</p>
