Your New Mantra: "It's Easy And I Like It!"

Hey, beautiful people! What if you were able to look at the things in your life that were super boring, really hard, or just miserable, and honestly say to yourself and truly believe it ~ "It's easy and I like it!"? I'm going to show you how today on Stress Therapy.

It's season 4, on Stress Therapy 101. So, settle in and listen up…because your stress therapy session is about to begin… right…now!

In this podcast, we will learn:
How to resist excuses and negative thoughts with your new mantra
The basics of cognitive therapy and why your new mantra actually works in helping you feel better
How to embrace, practice and live our new mantra, "It's easy and I like it!"

Quotes:
"If you can manipulate the way that you're thinking about things, it's going to change how you feel about things...it's going to change how you react and live in this world."- Cheri

"If we think something enough we believe it to be true, whether it's true or not! So, let’s take control over what we are thinking...Let’s take control now, and decide that it’s easy and I like it!" - Cheri

Joy

I take my joy straight up every day…

Bliss is simply what I want
I'm not doing, but I'm done
Change the way you look at things
and it all falls in place

Dig two graves or forgiveness
I choose peace instead of this
You go on about nothin’
While you’re missing what there is…
Es no sobre “getting”
Es sobre “letting”

I take my joy straight up every day

Chorus:
Milkshake
Chocolate covered hard-ache
Dig my own religion
Live like a magician
Take my mind from noisy
To what I find rosy
It’s none of my business what you think so…

I take my joy straight up every day

I walk down a different street
Do not go right back to sleep
I’m your violet incense
I’ve learned I can make grass grow
I know like I know like I know like I know

I take my joy straight up every day

Don’t die with music still in you
Inside my mind God is blue
When I’m 500 years old
I’ll still be thanking you
Open to everything
Attached to nothing

I take my joy straight up every day
