In The Moment with Alex Manzi

Transform Your Intentions Into Reality (In 3 Easy Steps).

Hello and welcome to the "In The Moment" podcast with me, Alex Manzi. I'm a coach who has transformed his life from depression to fulfillment and today I explore a powerful framework to transform your intentions into reality using three simple steps.

This approach has been a game-changer for me and many others I've coached, including the attendees to my recent retreat in the south of France.

Through identifying your intentions, turning them into commitments, and picking systems to get the result desired, you can actually turn an intention you've had forever into an actual reality in your life. But first, we need to understand what an intention is, what a commitment is, and the difference between a hard system and a soft system. Here's a few timestamps:

The Self Improvement Paradox: When Growth Makes You Feel Worse. Hello and welcome to the "In The Moment" podcast with me, Alex Manzi. I'm a coach who has transformed his life from depression to fulfillment and today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite topics...  the paradox of self-improvement.

How can you feel worse if you started your growth journey, and if you're actually making the changes that you need in order to change your life?

This is more common than it seems and... yes, it happened to myself as well. That's why we talked about this in depth at my recent retreat "Free Your Mind" in France, with my clients there. And from that discussion here's my reflection for the podcast and all of you here.

I'm talking about the "when-then" mindset (e.g., "When I have more money, then I'll be happier"), and the frustration that goes along with it. I talk about settling into a phase where they you may feel complete. While this brings contentment, it can also lead to complacency and a lack of further progress.

In general, I've found there are 3 main stages of this process to overcome the self-improvement paradox. Here's some timestamps for you.

00:00 Intro

01.40 Stage 1 - Are you falling into this trap?

04:35 Stage 2 - Where most people settle

07:32 Stage 3 - Overcoming the Paradox

Hello and welcome to the "In The Moment" podcast, with me Alex Manzi, your coach podcaster, and your friendly neighborhood mind sherpa! In this episode I want to explore the difference between self-care and self-love. This is something that comes directly from my journey from depression to finding inner peace and fulfillment, working with athletes, artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs along the way. 

What i realized is... self-care is about doing things that make you feel good, like going to the gym, going to the Spa, or to the cinema. While self-love is a deeper mindset of accepting and loving yourself, even through challenging times. It's something I am, more than something I do. 

If this sounds interesting, see how you can move from self-care to self-love and how embracing a state of self-love can transform your life and relationships. I'm going to do what I do for my coaching clients: dig into some practical advice on incorporating self-love into your daily routine, and start living a more fulfilling life.

The TRUTH Behind Extraordinary Results. Hello dear listeners, welcome to another episode of In The Moment with Alex Manzi! I'm your friendly neighborhood mind sherpa. I was thinking recently that... most people see some extraordinary results, achievements, and think that they're something supernatural. Out of this world. In fact, extraordinary. I had the same feeling with a friend of mine that recently ran a marathon. To me it seemed impossible. But... is it true? Because I've found out... these extraordinary results are often a result of... very ordinary actions, repeated consistently. Let me explain.

00:55 Extraordinary results

01:47 Example no. 1 (marathon)

WAITING VS CREATING: How Embracing Action Has Changed My Life. There's a substantial difference between living while waiting and living with creating. I spent many years of my life waiting. Waiting for something to happen, for my business to grow, for myself to change in someone better. And I was frustrated.
