Real Answers With Dr. Kate Siner

One key to being more empowered in our life is self-acceptance—truly embracing all of ourselves, both the good and the not-so-good. When we embrace all of who we are, when we're willing to move into a place of true acceptance, it eliminates a lot of confusion. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Our self-care is more about how we are able to take care of ourselves in each and every moment- this includes all of our behaviors, thoughts, and emotional experiences. Each and every act in our life either cares for us and supports us, or it does not. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Both self-care and pleasure begin with self-love. As we love ourselves more and more, it creates the conditions for pleasure, for our continued well-being, and for us to really care for ourselves. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

To work with the shadow, it is helpful to notice when it is most active. And sometimes this is a process that takes patient observation. However, there are certain signs that can help you identify when your shadow is in control. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

One of the trickier pieces of working with ourselves and the realm of personal and spiritual development is working with our shadow, which comprises all of the elements of us that we are unable to see. As we become better and better at shining light onto our shadow, we are able to shift and transform situations, not because the situations themselves change, but because our perceptions of those situations change—radically.

One of the simplest ways to make really radical and fast changes in our life is to be intentional. Specifically, we should set an intention each and every day for how we want that day to go, what we’re going to focus on, what ultimate result we’re looking for, or how we want to feel. Setting such intentions is the difference between an undirected, unconscious day and having focus for our energy and a frame through which we can become more conscious.

Intention is the tool that takes us from the way things have been—the way we have been operating—to where it is that we want to go. Within our intention is the understanding that something else is possible, whether this is a change in direction entirely or a more continuous experience than we have experienced in the past.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A lot of times when people think about being happier in their life, they think about “having something”—having a sense of purpose, having the right relationship, having some quality of life that’s going to result in them feeling happier. In reality, having these things doesn’t always equal feeling happy. What does make us happier is incorporating the experience of pleasure into our day-to-day, moment-to-moment life.

Life is continually showing you how to raise your awareness, but do you see it’s instructions? From my perspective, each and every moment of life is offering us an opportunity to become more aware. We are in a constant state of choice, in all of these moments, to either expand or contract. Expansion brings a richer experience of love, truth, gratitude, forgiveness, and service. Contraction brings limitation. The payoff of learning how to raise your awareness, even if it’s just in a few of these life moments, is exceptional. Join Dr. Kate on Real Answers this week for a discussion of how raising awareness can bring you great freedom in your life. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Most of us are aware that being intentional has many benefits for our life, but did you know that the key to really getting results is intention without attachment? Intention without attachment means creating and holding an intention without becoming attached to a specific manifestation of the outcome of that intention. When we become attached to an outcome looking, or being, a certain way, we activate our fears related to having or not having it. This fear then shows up as a block in our path or draws negativity to it. This week on Real Answers, Dr. Kate explains how practicing intention without attachment can help you create a happier life.
