If we want to change any aspect of our life, it starts by changing our thoughts—which sounds simple, but can sometimes be easier said than done.

During a recent renovation of our home, I was reminded of some important things to keep in mind when you are dismantling, changing, and reconstructing your thoughts.

In this week's episode I'm sharing this experience and five takeaways that will help you do the challenging, internal, life-changing work of changing your thoughts, so that you can use your brain in a way that builds your life exactly the way you want it.

Loving other people is the most challenging work we do as humans because love does not come naturally or easily to our brain. Our brain is programmed to be defensive and judgmental and self-righteous—and so is everybody else's.

This creates a world that is full of conflict and judgment and criticism, and so learning to choose love, despite your brain's tendencies, has never been more important. Your brain isn't going to naturally choose love, but you can direct it to do just that.

In today's episode, I am sharing the reasons it's so hard for us to love as humans and then giving you powerful tools to increase your own ability to love. Love is a choice and a skill and as you increase your own capacity to choose love, you increase the amount of love there is in the world. And that is something all of us would love more of.

Grief is a normal, natural part of every human life. Whenever we experience any change or transition or loss, we can experience grief. However, even though grief is a regular part of the human experience, most of us are ill-informed about it and we often resist grief and the painful feelings we have when we are grieving.

In today's episode, I'm talking with grief recovery specialist, Kelly Norton, about the purpose of grief and how to allow and process your grief so that it can add to your life, rather than keep you stuck.

It's no surprise that our thoughts about grief shape our experience of grief and through this discussion I want to offer you a new way to think and feel and use your grief to enhance your human experience.

Our children have as much agency as we do, which means that they have the unlimited power to decide their own life experiences. We are powerless in terms of their choices and that is by divine design. They get to choose and that's the way it's supposed to be.

This only becomes a problem for us when we think that our children might choose wrong or that their choices might create suffering for them. But none of this is actually a problem and in today's podcast episode I'll show you why.

We don't get any say in what choices our children make, but we get all the say in how we choose to think about those choices. The objective is not to change their choices, but to manage our minds about those choices. That is always in our power—and it is the key to having the loving relationships we want with our children.

A lot of us have dreams for our lives—and as humans we each have unlimited, god-given capacity to make those things happen. There is no limit to what we can create or to what we can achieve or become. But to get any of that, we have to start.

In many ways, starting is the hardest part. Starting means doing things differently, changing from one state to another, taking risks, and spending energy, and our brain never wants to start doing any of that.

In today's episode, I'm sharing three things to help you get started so that you can create all the experiences you want to have while you are here on earth.

Whatever it is you want in your life, start here.

When I teach people that their thoughts are creating all the pain and all the results in their life, the question I get most often is, "But how do I change my thoughts?"

In order to change our thoughts, we have to be very purposeful. New thoughts don't just happen to us. New beliefs aren't ever going to descend upon us uninvited. In fact, because your brain is programmed for survival, most of the thoughts you want to think will be hard-won and only acquired through intention.

In today's episode I am sharing the 3 simple yet essential steps that allow you to change and acquire any new thought in your life, so you can create any result you want.

When we realize that our beliefs are creating the results in our lives, the next thing we want to know is how we change and build those beliefs. It's a question that I get a lot as a coach because the better we get at believing, the more powerful creators we become.

Building our beliefs is like building anything else—it requires effort and work. I think there are a lot of parallels between the work in other areas of our lives and the belief work we do in our minds.

In today's podcast, I'm sharing some of the powerful lessons that I have used to improve my work in the gym and applying them to help you in your work in your head to build your beliefs and increase your thought capacity.

Our brains spend a lot of time arguing with reality—telling us that things should be different than they are. But thinking things are supposed to be different leaves us stuck and disempowered.

When we can't change the circumstances of life, we can still change the way we experience our life. And one of the best ways to do this is stop believing that things should be different when they simply aren't.

In this episode, I'm sharing how accepting what is and choosing to say "Yes, and…" to everything in our lives allows us to move forward and create amazing things in our life.

A lot of us are committed to self improvement, but there is actually no such thing. You are already whole and so no matter what you do you can't improve yourself.

You can't get better, but you can change your life experience. You can create and design your life to be exactly the way you want it and the most powerful way to do that is through coaching.

In this special bonus episode, I'm sharing why I think coaching is the best decision you can make to get the life experience you want. And the most amazing thing is that when you change the way you live your life, the impact of that work goes far beyond you and blesses the whole world.

If you could wave a magic wand and change any aspect of your life, what would you change? While you might not have a magic wand, you have something just as powerful—your brain!

Whether you know it or not, you have created every result in your life—even the ones you wish were different—with your thoughts. This is the best news I can give you because it means you are more powerful that you realize and it means that if you don't like what you've created, you always have the power change it.

It might not be magic, but it's the closest thing to it!

On today's podcast, I am asking five powerful questions. The answers to these questions will allow you to change any result in your life by changing your thoughts. Believe it or not, your brain is as good as any magic wand and these five questions will allow you to put it to good use.
