Convention = a way in which something is usually done.

Conventional is doing things the way in which others are doing them, the way in which the masses are, society implies you should… the ‘norm’

And I am here to say throw that shit out the fucking window. 

And here’s why: 

• Doing anything simply because you think you should is never a good reason - It just feels like sh*t
• Just because it works for others doesn’t mean it's what you want or what is going to make you happy. They key here is what YOU WANT. Not what others want for you… 

In this episode I am sharing stories from my own life displaying how this has shown up & continues to show up, questions I ask myself and how I make decisions & do things the 'not so conventional way' (& why I am so much happier as a result!)

One habit that has changed my life is journaling (aka writing sh*t down)
In this episode I am telling you why it has been so life changing for me, how I do it, when I do it... all the things!
AND I am sharing with you a HUGE range of ways you can incorporate this into your own life too with plenty of prompts you can use. 

Journalling creates self awareness.
And awareness is the first step in creating change.
When I first came to the world of personal development I wasn’t aware I was in a pit of self-loathing.
Once I was blatantly aware of it, only then was I able to make a decision to change it.

Here is a link to the 50 journal prompts I mention at the ned of this episode (free and no email required!): https://www.xenajones.com/journal-prompts

I asked one of my past clients and now friend, Val Chaney, to come on the podcast today & share her experience of what it's like to be coached and how she was able to go from stuck to thriving...
During our chat you'll hear just how hard she was on herself, how she was beating herself up & continuously feeling stuck.
You will hear how she has really changed her own life & become incredibly happy & confident in the process. Val was able to take charge of the ideas she had & start bringing her dreams to life by using the tools such as having your own back, redefining failure & getting clear on who her futures self is & where she is going.
Val is a beautiful example of the power of self discovery. She shares exactly what it means & how it looks to have her own back & talks about the future she is now in the process of creating & how she has made that happen.
Val is a true example of what is possible. From stuck to thriving! And she is sharing all the ins and outs with you here and plenty of great takeaways!

I was single for 10 years before I finally decided to date again.
I was busy working on me, or so I said...
There was truth in that AND I was also trying to rid myself of my own insecurities, doubts & fears so that I would then feel ready.

In this episode I am sharing with you the 4 things that stand out to me as the reason that I found someone to share my life with and how I created my own confidence to finally get outside my comfort zone & make it happen.

I share the story of my very first date after 10 years and the hilarious ending and my lessons learned.

I talk about the difference in energy between thinking we 'need' someone in our lives, versus simply wanting to share our life with someone.

Are you should-on on yourself?
Are you hearing yourself say things like...
I should have said this
I should be further along
I should have figured this out
I should really get that sorted

Should is a word that never results in feeling good.
In fact it leads to feelings of guilt & shame.
We are effectively telling ourselves we are bad or wrong because we aren't...
And it is a huge confidence killer :(

In this episode I am sharing some of my recent experiences of should-ing on myself
And how I recommend dealing with your pile of shoulds.

Over the past year my self-confidence has grown significantly, and one of the things I really attribute to this is embracing who I am. 

The more me I am the more I enjoy myself & my life. 

When I try to be someone I think I should be, I edit and alter myself & the less I enjoy being myself & living the life I have…

The more I embrace who I am without trying to change myself the more my confidence grows. The more I embrace who I am the more success I create in my personal life & in my business.

In this episode I am sharing examples of how this has shown up in my life and how you can begin to embrace for of who you.

Here is a link to the 50 journal prompts I mention during this episode.

Do you worry about what other people think? Do you find yourself doing & saying certain things to get people to like you? Or perhaps editing & altering yourself in the hopes that they will like you?
You are not alone my friend and this episode is for you!
We spend so much time thinking about & worrying other peoples opinions. We do so much to try and control other peoples opinions of us.
We even pretend and lie to get them to like us. But we can’t control other peoples minds.
'You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.'
Listen to this episode and hear about how other peoples opinions are formed & how to stop worrying about it & finally stop giving a f**k what other people think of you.
