We have completed Season 1 of Carry On with Criselda and I gotta say, it feels pretty amazing. I can’t believe how far we’ve come in this process. It was only last summer that this idea of starting a podcast was suggested to me by my sister/sound engineer. It has given me an opportunity to dig deep into the vault of my past experiences and wisdom to share with those who are stuck and are looking for answers to everyday thoughts and emotions that we all deal with. But it’s also given me pause to challenges that I had to go through just to bring you the content that I wanted to present.
You see, for most of the content that I presented in each episode were the thoughts, emotions and attitudes that I had already dealt with and conquered to some extent. Episodes like the one on gratitude, perfectionism, forgiveness, perseverance, and intrusive thoughts. However, now that the episodes are out there for everyone to hear, I feel as though it’s just not enough. Here we go again, perfectionism. See? I still deal with these topics myself. I am and will always be a work in progress and that’s okay. As long as I keep moving forward. Anyway, I realize that this is the tip of the tip of the iceberg. You read that right. The tip of the tip. There is just so much that I want to cover, so much that I want to share, and so much that I want to do to help and inspire people to realize that they are in control of their thoughts, emotions, and attitudes. And when they know that and do the work toward changing those things, they can and will improve their lives and find peace and balance on a daily basis. Isn’t that what we all want? Whether we know it or not. Whether we acknowledge it or not. I believe that deep down, we all want to live a balanced and peaceful life.
And that’s why I’m here. That’s why I do what I do. I have an ongoing yearning for peace and balance. I know what my life is like when I don’t have it. And I know what my life is like when I do. Because I’ve known it, why wouldn’t I strive for it every single day? It’s so wonderful to have! It’s so freeing when I’m not bothered anymore by things that used to bother me like jealousy, depression, aggravation, unforgiveness, so on and so forth. It’s so liberating when I am peaceful and happy. And I know there are many others who must want the same thing. Someone out there who is going through what I went through and who needs hope and encouragement and answers to how they can feel that free too. My heart goes out to those who yearn for that in their lives. Which is why I’m going to work my heart out for you. I want for you what I have been able to find and continue to search for in new and invigorating ways.
So, stay tuned and check back often when we will come out with Season 2 of Carry On with Criselda. We’ll bring you more topics and interviews that we can all learn from and continue together to make progress to attain peace and balance in our thoughts and emotions as we carry on in our day to day.
