Finding Joy in the Hard
Finding Joy in the Hard is a testament to how incredibly powerful we are.
In this daily podcast, I offer two-ten minute episodes: words of inspiration, thought provoking questions to shift from rigid thought patterns and actionable healing tips.
Once or twice a month, I'll offer interviews with people who have found joy in the hard of life. Those who found their way to light, no matter their circumstances.
I'm your host, Suzanne Andora Barron. I've been teaching yoga, meditation, and mindfulness and mindset for fourteen years. As a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner, I teach students how to use the placement of their hands and breath to ease pain and discomfort in their body, support themselves emotionally and balance mind, body and spirit.
Welcome! I'm so excited you're here!

#102 Do You Take Time to Notice Your Thoughts? You Should....
Have you ever taken the time to notice what you're thinking? Unless it's a practice, you likely don't.
We think our thoughts are who we are. We hear them, think they're true and live accordingly.
But when we take time to notice what we're thinking, we can start to see a pattern. Maybe you'll hear a lot of shoulds. You should do that. You should do this. Or maybe you'll hear how critical you are of yourself. Why did you say that? Why did you think that? You'll never figure that out, so why even try. Or maybe you'll find out you're having thoughts on repeat about a potential illness.
Unless you start to pay attention to your thoughts, you'll never even know you're doing this. And, our thoughts impact how we feel. But once you start to notice, you can realize that your thoughts aren't you.
They are simply your ego seeking to keep you safe. That's the ego's job - to keep us safe. But it's like a scared little child with no power and a lot of negative accusations.
So take a listen. In this short episode, I'll teach you how to create a practice of paying attention to your thoughts.
