100% Awesome Podcast

We spend most of our lives just thinking on default. We have lots of old, unexamined thought habits. A thought habit is just a thought we have thought over and over again creating a well-rehearsed neural pathway. But the brain has the power to create new neural pathways any time. This neuroplasticity allows you to purposefully create productive and positive thought habits, and decide how you want to think about your life…and that, my friends, is 100% awesome! https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/3

When we evaluate our progress in life, we tend to judge our accomplishments with a finite mindset. But this can be frustrating when we are working in areas of infinite growth, like fitness, personal development, relationships, or spirituality—where there is no finish line. It's powerful to view your life and your progress with an infinite mindset, and shifting your thoughts in this way can keep you invested, motivated, and committed to your personal goals. www.aprilpricecoaching.com/32

By and large, most of us are not very good at feeling our feelings. We don't have a lot of practice or skill at feeling, allowing and processing our emotions. Instead, we spend our time and energy avoiding, resisting or reacting to our emotions. In this episode, I'll show you how to process any emotion and show you the power that allowing your emotions will give you in your life. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/31

Because we have human brains, we aren't programmed to notice the magic, miracles, and awesomeness of our lives. But that does not mean they don't exist! To find more joy and awe, we have to purposefully redirect our brains to notice all the gifts that are there, that go mostly unnoticed. Here are three tools that you can use to help you recognize the truth about your awesome life and recalibrate your brain to "see things as they really are." https://www.aprilpricecoaching/30

In life, we interact with people that we think are "difficult." In reality, there are no difficult people. There are just people. Who do stuff. And then we have lots of thoughts about the things they do, and then we make that mean that they are "difficult." One of the most powerful things you can learn is that the only thing that makes other people difficult is our interpretation of them—and knowing this is the solution to every difficult relationship we have. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/29

Just like any other characteristic we have, our brain has an opinion about our bodies. And because our brain is programmed to find problems, its opinion about our body is always focused on what is wrong or undesirable about our physical appearance. In this episode, I'll show you that how you think about your body is a choice and I'll teach you how to retrain your brain to see and think about your awesome human body exactly the way you want to. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.com/28

Most of us think we are supposed to feel good about ourselves. And we think there's something wrong with us when we don't. The reality is that our human brains make it so we don't feel good about ourselves. That's what it means to be human. And we don't have to fix that. The awesome news is that you can consciously and purposefully redirect your mind to allow you to approve of yourself anyway...even when your lower brain insists that you have problems. https://www.aprilpricecoaching.c

Our brains are naturally programmed to avoid discomfort. This has kept us alive and allowed us to make huge advances throughout history. But when it comes to personal development, being willing to experience discomfort can allow us to grow, leave and our comfort zone, do things we've never done, and reach impossible goals. Learn about optional discomfort—and why you might want to do hard things to get different results and discover completely new possibilities. www.aprilpricecoaching.com/2

We often feel like we are just at the effect of our life. But the truth is that how we feel and the life experience we are having is entirely up to us. The key to taking control of your life experience and creating what you want is to recognize where your control really is. It is never outside of you. You have the power to create the life you want by focusing your attention inside of you—on the thoughts you choose to think. www.aprilpricecoaching.com/25

We all have a plan for our life. We all have an idea of the way it's supposed to go. And then nothing goes according to plan. When we think "This isn't the way it's supposed to be," we resist reality and this adds anger, frustration, and resentment to our challenges. We end up doubling our pain. In this episode I share three thoughts to help you escape the resentment and anger you feel when things go wrong, so you can learn and grow and move on in your life. www.aprilpricecoaching.com/24
