One of the best skills we can acquire is learning how to like ourselves and our life because it affects every other area of our life.

With our brains running the show, we often don't realize that liking ourselves is an option. We don't understand that liking ourselves isn't something that happens to us, but instead it's a choice we make by the way we think about ourselves. Liking ourselves and our life is never a result of what we do or what our life looks like—it's always a result of what we think.

In this episode I'll show you how to put yourself in charge of liking you and your life, and everything you need to know to do it. Not liking yourself is the brain's default setting, but liking yourself and your life (no matter what) is a feeling that is always available to you.

Our relationships are one of the most important aspects of our earth life experience. But for most of us, if we don't currently have the relationships we want, it feels somewhat out of our control. But that is only because we don't understand that our relationships are created entirely by the way we think.

I spent years struggling in my relationships. This all changed when I found coaching and learned three important things: our pain is always caused by our thinking and not other people's behavior, it's no one else's job to make us happy, and love is not supposed to be easy. These ideas changed all my relationships and allowed me to love in ways I was never able to before.

In this episode, I interview my husband to get his perspective on how our relationship and our family life changed when I changed the way I thought about the people I love and the way I thought about myself. Coaching changed the way I experience my relationships and the amount of love I feel in my life—and it can do the same for you!

Your brain is the only problem you have.

When you came to earth and got put in a physical body, your brain became an automatic filter between you and your earth life experience. This means that everything outside of you has to go through this filter to be experienced by you. And everything inside of you has to overcome this filter to be manifest in the world.

This filter (your brain!) is what is creating all of your problems. The way your brain interprets everything that happens and the resistance it produces when we try to do things we really want to do, creates every problem you have.

But this also means that the solution to every problem in your life is simple. You don't have a million problems that all require a different solution. You just have one problem and you just need one solution. And it's already inside of you!

I used to think there were two kinds of people in the world—those that could have what they wanted and the rest of us who couldn't.

But now I know that we're all the same. And no matter who you are, we all have the same God-given power to create our life and choose our experiences. There isn't anything that you want that you can't have, there isn't any possibility that exists out there that you can't create, and anything you want is just as possible for you as anybody else.

In this episode, I'm sharing three things you need to do to become a person for whom anything is possible. Most of us seriously underestimate ourselves and limit what we think is possible for us. But these limitations are just made up by our brains and you are allowed to make up anything you want.

For most of us, what really gets in the way of creating the life we want is pain. We have a natural, biologic aversion to pain that has been useful in keeping us alive. But the need to avoid pain and solve for pain and live a life free from pain can actually keep us from doing the things we want.

One of the most powerful things you can understand is that while your brain has a built-in instinct to avoid pain, your brain is actually the only thing in your life creating your pain.

In today's episode, I'm looking at two of the questions I get as a coach—why we don't take action and why it's hard to love people—and answering them with this principle in mind. Being aware of your brain's tendency to want to avoid pain while actually being the source of your pain, can help you understand yourself better so that you can create the life you want.

Every result in our life is created by our thoughts. This means that if we don't love the results we are getting, the solution is to change our thoughts. But this is easier said than done because our thoughts "feel true" and our brains fight to be right about them.

It can help to recognize that while no thought is inherently good or bad, or right or wrong, every thought has a different capacity to create results in our life. We can't create amazing results with low-capacity thoughts.

In this episode, I'm sharing the most common low-capacity thoughts that are keeping us from getting the life we want. No matter how true your thoughts feel, identifying a thought's capacity to produce results can help you decide if you really want to keep thinking it.

One of the things that all humans have in common is the feeling that we aren't enough. This is because our brain is measuring who we are and what we do against a constantly shifting standard of acceptability and the conclusion is always the same: we aren't enough.

A lot of us have tried to get around this feeling of not enoughness and inadequacy through achievement, self-improvement, and even righteousness. We are constantly trying to earn our enoughness by the things we do, but this doesn't work and it leaves us exhausted, desperate, and even more aware of our shortcomings.

In this podcast episode, I share two important truths about your enoughness—there is no such thing as being enough and there is no way to be anything other than enough. Understanding this paradox will allow you to love you exactly as you are and let go of your brain's insatiable quest to be "enough."

When we make a decision, we are choosing one thing and eliminating the other options. This feels scary because we're afraid that if we make the wrong decision, we might impact our happiness and then we'll have regret.

But regret is not created by whether you made the right decision or the wrong decision. Regret is created by our thoughts. It is created by what we think after we make the decision. Whatever we feel about a decision— regret or peace, anxiety or confidence—it is never created by the decision itself.

On this episode I'll teach you how to make powerful decisions without regret and show you how to replace fear with confidence no matter how big or small the decision is.

Pain is a part of earth life. But when we forget this and we think our pain (either physical or emotional) is a problem, our brain pays more attention to it and this increases both the perception of our pain and the actual amount of our pain.

It turns out that the way we think about our pain is way more important than what we do about our pain. In this episode, I talk about the experience of both physical and emotional pain, how our thinking affects our relationship with pain, and how the way we interpret our pain can impact how much pain we have. Pain is part of being human, but you have way more control over the way you experience that pain than you may have thought.

A lot of us who become aware of our thoughts and their power to create our results naturally want to get busy changing those thoughts. But it turns out to be harder than we expected, and we sometimes struggle to change our thoughts the way we want to.

In this episode I'm sharing the common stumbling blocks that get in the way of changing our thoughts, how to recognize what's really in your way, and strategies for moving past them—so that you can change any thought you want.
