Life After: From Surviving to Thriving

In this episode we are going to talk about Confidence. What is it, why improving your confidence is important, and, most importantly, how to cultivate confidence!

The reality is that, ultimately, confidence isn't what you look like, or how much you weigh, or your IQ, although we so often believe that to be the case. We incorrectly focus on that something about ourselves that is external, or out of our control, and allow it to determine our confidence. Instead, let's focus on those things we can actually do to cultivate more confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Raise your standards
• Look at your limiting beliefs – and then change them
• Power poses

BEST MOMENTS

Every time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. –Theodore Roosevelt

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will. –Suzy Kassem

In this episode, we are going to talk about "what you tell your brain tells you is what your brain believes"! This is one of my favorite topics because it can really help us quickly change our mindset. And with practice, also affects, long term, how we can see ourselves. The key is to always be mindful of the messages you are telling yourself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What you believe is what you achieve
• Thoughts influence actions
• Use affirmations
• Ask yourself the right questions

BEST MOMENTS

We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? — Marianne Williamson

Routines are boring, right? Actually, they are incredibly important! They save us time and mental energy and minimize decision fatigue. All things that help us when we want to keep a more positive mindset and stay focused on accomplishing our dreams and reaching our dreams. While routines create structure and set the habits needed to reach your goals, they also are good for your mental health, improve your sleep, and help you feel more in control.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Practice the perfect week exercise. What does your perfect week look like? Remember to include the following categories.

• Fitness
• Mental Health
• Learning
• Work
• Spirituality
• Parental Life
• Intimate Partner / spouse
• Friendships
• Hobbies
• Personal Finances

Also, your perfect week doesn't have to be perfect all the time! People that are experts on routines often keep their schedules on track only about 80% of the time. You always have to account for life happening! There is always room to grow and improve.

BEST MOMENTS

Mindset, habits, and routines are the building blocks for success toward your goals. – Robyn Conely Downs

In order to get what you want you have to maintain focus and attention on that goal or dream. Often getting what you want is having clarity about it!

• Remember, "Never react to being stuck by stopping. A lot of problems are resolved by doing!" –Malcolm Gladwell
• Anticipating the things that might go wrong on your path will increase your likeliehood of success!

BEST MOMENTS

Instead of focusing on that circumstance that you cannot change – focus strongly and powerfully on the circumstances that you can. –Joy Page

I don't care how much power, brilliance or energy you have, if you don't harness it and focus it on a specific target, and hold it there, you're never going to accomplish as much as your ability warrants. –Zig Ziglar

Focus is a matter of deciding what things you're not going to do. –John Carmack

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit. –Will Durant
