If you were to ask me "what is the quickest way for me to increase my happiness and joy in life'?

My answer would be: Protect your sphere.

In this episode I'll explain why the quote "You are the average of the 5 people that you are closest to (or spend the most time with)" is not accurate.

Yes it's incredibly important to surround yourself with amazing people and I'm all for it. 

But the reality is you are the average of EVERYONE and every thing that you allow into your proximity.

In this episode of the Mindset Hackers Podcast I'll dive into what that means to protect your sphere and how to instantly level up your happiness and joy in life by being more intentional about who you surround yourself with but also other areas where you can lighten up. 

Today, I'm going to share some of my biggest failures, insecurities and weaknesses.

Here is why: 

I want you to be more confident and give less of a f*ck what people think about you. 

That is freedom. 

On this episode we are going to use a Mindset Hack called the 8 Mile Formula to unlock your badass, truest and most authentic self so you can be free of caring what others think about you.

Gary Vee, entrepreneur and who many see the Godfather of social media loves talking about getting more raw and owning not only your strengths but your weaknesses and not hiding them will make you unstoppable. 

The more you own and share your weaknesses, the more comfortable

you get with yourself and the lesst you care about what other think.

8 Mile Formula: Know exactly who you are + Own It = Untouchable

What is up Mindset Hackers! On todays episode we're going to go a little deeper on the topic of 'worthiness' for the things we want in life.

This includes financial, but also relationships, the lifestyle that we want or the career/job we want.

If you have ever felt like "I don't feel worthy" of the goals that you are pursuing, I want you to know this"

You are worthy, and you were never NOT worthy. 

You may have disconnected yourself from this but today we're going to get this back in line.

Yes, you do need to take action and 'do' certain things to get a result.

But the 'doings' are not what makes you worthy. 

You already are. 

Today on the Mindset Hackers Podcast I have a very special guest who means a lot to me. He's a colleague and friend of mine who has battled depression, anxiety, stress and thoughts of suicide through consistent mindset work and today he shares his journey with us. 

These are some topics that I don't often talk about on the podcast because I haven't had much personal experience battling mental health, however the topic is something that is close to me and here is why: 

My own father, someone who is very much like me and lived a happy and successful life, had his life turned upside down with the weight of stress which pushed him into a deep and dark depression and at one point tried to take his own life. 

On this episode Luke breaks down the mindset work that is involved in turning down the mental noise that causes anxiety, depression and stress and helps you live a more normal life even when battling Mental Health

On today's episode of Mindset Hackers, Simon will talk about how to level up your income by getting your subconscious on board.

Imposter Syndrome seems to be the biggest buzz phrase lately in the coaching world and we are creating more of it by being so focused on it and labeling ourselves with it. 

Its a form of self doubt described as 'the fear of people thinking I'm a fraud' and it comes from our feeling of lack when we compare ourselves with people who are at the top of whatever niche we are in.

Unlike most forms of self doubt or self worth, Imposter Syndrome comes from us stepping into new areas and its just a different form of the 'voice' that we get from our subconscious trying to hold us back. 

Here's the kicker, its the comparison that causes the feeling of lack and we are in control of what we focus on.

Furthermore, when we label ourselves as having imposter syndrome, we are also labeling ourselves as a fraud which is not true. 

I'll also talk about the placebo effect and how powerful that can be. Let's rethink how we label ourselves and reframe this feeling as coming from being a badass and stepping into a bigger version of ourselves!

Mindset Hackers! Don't let these 3 blind spots of the past keep you from experiencing abundance in the future. 

Blind Spot #1 - The Suit Of Armor, going into protection mode will not keep you from being hurt, it only keeps you from experiencing abundance.

Blind Spot #2 - Sunken Cost Fallacy, protecting your ego by 

Blind Spot #3 - Why I'm Broken, this is too much focus on what happened instead of what you could learn and implement in the future. 

In this episode I break down how these 3 blind spots practically guarantee that you'll repeat your mistakes or prevent you from having what you want in the future. 

Which of these can you relate to or have kept you stuck in the past? 

Instead, focus on the understanding that everything that has happened is here to serve you and guide you in the future. Tap into gratitude on that and use that to help guide you in the future instead of making you afraid of it. 

Mindset Hackers! This week I've got my Mindset Twinner Hallie Avolio dropping some fire with me! 

On this episode we talk about how we end up doing things in life that we don't even want because we get influenced by others.

We are born perfect but over time we absorb the expectations of others. 

Our parents. Our peers. The people we date. Advertising & Social Media.

Eventually we can be so out of alignment and not even realize it. 

We purchase things that we don't even really want in order to feel like we are enough. 

Time to take back who we really are at our core.

Every day you have the opportunity to claim who you really are.

Mindset Hackers, you are all superheroes.

You have a superpower, if not many.

You have an origin story, a time in your life that forged you into the person that you are!

You have a tribe that you protect, just like Bruce Wayne protects Gotham City.

You also have an arch nemesis, a cause, situation or person that goes against your ideals and threatens the well being of your tribe.

But the most elusive is the Alter Ego, the voice inside of you that you cannot see that gives you 'reasons' (excuses) that hold you back and keep you from taking the action that you need to succeed. 

The alter ego will show up and tell you that:

You are not good enough.

There are too many people already doing it.

Fear of judgment, failure, success, imposter syndrome. 

These are all illusions. Learn to hear the alter ego speaking, because the alter ego is not you. 

Three weeks ago on the Mindset Hackers Podcast I had a wonderful guest Amy Porterfield on my show. If you don't know Amy Porterfield she is one of the top digital marketers and entrepreneurs and the host of the Online Marketing Made Easy Podcast.

During my interview with Amy I asked her to share with me one Mindset Hack that helps her keep going in her business and she said her favorite mantra is "I've Already Won" and then talked about a book called Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy.

Over the last couple of week I was able to listen to the Gap and the Gain and thought this would be an excellent topic to talk about here.

The Gap and the Gain is an incredible way to help keep you focused on the gains that you have made in life and not the gaps that you think you have in life.

Wherever your focus is expands so being more aware of the times when you are hung up on the gaps, or the gains you are making, even the incremental ones can add up to massive success in your life!

Make sure to grab the Gap and the Gain on Amazon or Audible if this episode is a topic that you find interesting and helpful.
