This summer we are doing a series called Mindset Camp. It will be made up of mostly simple, thought-provoking episodes to give you something short + sweet to take action on right away!

Today is Episode 9 of that series.

What do you do when you’re feeling overwhelmed? 

The conventional thinking is that there are three main reactions to feeling overwhelmed: fight, flight, or freeze.

This makes sense, but when you’re in the thick of overwhelm, this kind of information doesn’t do you much good.

In today’s episode, I’ll share with you a simple phrase to repeat to yourself whenever you feel overwhelmed and stressed.

This episode is the ninth and final episode in our summer Mindcamp series. In this 5 minute episode, you’ll learn what to say to yourself when you’re being extra hard on yourself, overwhelmed, and frustrated. 

As you learn to calm your mind… 

• stress will reduce and 
• you’ll know how to soothe your heart as well as your jangled nerves, and
• you’ll shift your approach to the situations that have you feeling overwhelmed. 

Get ready for a simple, easy, effective way to take yourself from feeling overwhelmed to feeling better in minutes.

Enjoy!

This summer we are doing a series called Mindset Camp. It will be made up of mostly simple, thought-provoking episodes to give you something short + sweet to take action on right away!

Today is Episode 8 of that series.

Running scenarios, weighing your options, pro-and-conning yourself silly, or getting really good at avoiding making decisions are some of the go-to ways to stop second guessing yourself that most people use.

“Society” would have us believe doing those things is prudent. Doing your due diligence. Assessment and analysis lead to confident decisions!

Sometimes these things are helpful, but there’s a more reliable check you can do to lessen the mental gymnastics and the second-guessing.

Things can look good on paper and everyone around can be pointing in one direction, but if you have an internal conflict - it's a signal to try another way.

There’s an easier way, and in this quick 5 minute episode I’m going to share something that has made a significant difference in how I make decisions and how I feel making them.

I’m no longer hung up on getting things “right.”

Instead, my decisions feel in alignment and I don’t have the internal struggle that I used to have when I was dealing with analysis paralysis.

And if a different decision might have been better? 

That’s ok.  Look for the lesson, make adjustments and try again.

You can too with this one piece of simple advice.

Do yourself a favor. Take five and listen to this episode. 

Try it on for size.  You just might transform that literal gut wrenching feeling of second-guessing yourself into a peaceful, confident decision making process.

Won’t that feel SO much better?

Enjoy!

This summer we are doing a series called Mindset Camp. It will be made up of mostly simple, thought-provoking episodes to give you something short + sweet to take action on right away!

Today is Episode 7 of that series.

If you’re like most people, you’ve probably considered going on a diet at some point in your life. Maybe you’ve got a wedding or family reunion coming up and you want to look your best, or maybe you’ve seen a few extra pounds creep up and it’s time to get control.

Those are great reasons to clean up your diet and get in shape.

But have you ever considered a diet for your mind? 

We know that the food we eat affects our health and our appearance, our energy levels and our moods, even our enjoyment of the food we eat!

Well, our mind needs a healthy regimen too. How we tend to our thoughts affects all of those same things: our health, appearance, energy levels, moods, and our enjoyment of life.

In this episode, we explore how coaching acts as a diet for the mind, helping you shed old habits and feed your mind the thoughts it needs to be productive, peaceful, and clear.

Join us as we delve into six ways coaching can be one of the most transformative diets you could ever go on to revitalize your mental well-being and up-level your experience of life.

You’ll discover how coaching can help you:

• Understand your thought patterns
• Shed the old stories and identities that no longer serve you
• Think mindfully
• Harness your thinking energy
• Eliminate debilitating thought patterns
• Get into action and start making positive change

Feeling inspired to begin your own diet of the mind? Don’t put it off like we often do with food diets, postponing until bikini season is around the corner or until you get the invitation for a wedding or reunion in the mail.

The time to start your diet for the mind is NOW, so that you can handle all the bumps in the road of life.

Today is Episode 6 of that series.

Who is in control of your day? Is it you? 

Or is it the to-do lists, obligations, chores, schedules, and demands placed on you?

This is an important thing to think about. Hours turn into days, days into weeks, and weeks into months. 

When you look back on your life, I want you to see that you’ve prioritized your time not by greasing the squeaky wheel or putting out the hottest fire, but by what moves you and elevates your life.

Impossible?

In this short episode, part six of our summer series called Mindset Camp, you’ll discover the five minute morning practice that helps you prioritize your time naturally, in alignment with what’s most important to you and the life you’re building.

You’ll still do all the things that need doing, but you’ll gain a whole new mindset through which to prioritize your time and get back control of your life.

Enjoy!

Today is Episode 4 of that series.

Do you have days where you find yourself focused on all the things that aren't right, that you don't want, and then spiral to finding even more things that aren't right?

Negative thinking is human. How long you stay there is a choice. 

Today, I’m introducing a mindset tool that will help you overcome negative thinking to find direction in life. There’s a way to turn that negative thinking around, allowing it to illuminate the direction in life you really want to go.

Today's short episode is about a mindset tool I call Leverage the Contrast. It's all about leveraging what's happening in your mind and using it to turn yourself around.

Once you find the direction in life you want to go, you can leverage the contrast between negative thinking and your intentions and allow those negative thoughts to point you in the direction of what you want. Use this mindset tool to help you take one small step or one giant leap forward!
