What's Holding You Back

0:04Dr. Davina: You are now listening to Dr. Davina's Dots, your dynamic, optimistic, transformative show designed to relax you, inspire you, encourage you, and motivate you. I am your host, Dr. Davina Smith, bringing you only the best in positive messages and positive music. Enjoy.

0:44Dr. Davina: Hello, how's everyone doing? I'm so glad you're here with me for another episode of Dr. Davina's Dots. Today's show is titled, What's Holding You Back? Have you stopped showing up for yourself? Physically, emotionally, spiritually, or creatively? Have you traded in your dreams and passions for priorities that weren't even yours? It can happen quietly. One decision here, one compromise there. And before you know it, you've become someone who supports everyone else. Showing up for their needs, cheering on their goals, and being so wrapped up in being the strong one, the dependable one, the fixer, that you forget what it feels like to be you.

1:29Dr. Davina: You smile, you're happy, but your spark is dimmer. You're present, but you feel like a part of you is missing. So here's your moment to pause and reflect. What's holding you back? What have you given up and why? Go ahead and sit with that for a minute as we get started with some relaxing jazz. You are listening to Dr. Davina Stadts. I'll be right back. Enjoy.

7:05Dr. Davina: Sometimes in relationships, you might stop doing what you love. You shape yourself into what you think someone else needs. And sometimes you can forget what you need. So ask yourself, what have I stopped doing that used to light me up? And what would it look like to bring just one piece of that back into my life? You are listening to Dr. Davina's Dots. I'll be right back. Enjoy.

Does it ever feel like you've lost yourself trying to keep up with everything and everyone else?

25:05Dr. Davina: Between work, family, parenting, and all of life's responsibilities, it's easy to give so much of yourself that there's nothing left at the end of the day. You stop doing what you love. You feel guilty for wanting time to rest, create, or simply be. The truth is, your job, your family, and your friends may need you. But you need you too. You deserve to feel joy, to live with purpose, and to make space for what lights you up inside. What part of you have you put on pause? And what's holding you back from making time for you and the things you once loved? What's holding you back? Is it guilt? Is it fear?

25:51Dr. Davina: Is it the belief that everything else matters more than your own joy? What's holding you back? You are listening to Dr. Davina Stotts. I'll be right back.
