Society dictates that we live up to its standards. Thus, often it leads us to self-doubt and despair.

What often leads to our own destruction are those negative thoughts and feelings we created on our own.

How about this time we ask ourselves the needed question, what value do I bring to the table?

And look inside and go back to just being and doing?

Nikki Kett is passionate about supporting high-performing individuals achieve their goals -- while still enjoying life. She believes that when we learn to create confidence through our thinking and feeling, we can accomplish so much more than getting stuck in the overwhelm of *doing* all the things we *should* be doing.

She loves human psychology -- she believes that when we understand our brains and how we are motivated, we can learn to CREATE a life that we love without getting in our own way.

 

Through her study of Psychology and Motivation and degrees in Kinesiology and Organizational Dynamics, she has been able to combine her experience along with a life coaching certification to understand how she can help individuals create a life of fulfillment AND understand the environments that support high-level growth.

In this episode, Nikki Kett shares how we already have what it takes to get successful; we are just clouded with negative thoughts. It's about time to fix that mindset. Focus your efforts on what you become going through the process rather than the outcome. 

 

We are our blockage. We should get out of our way so we can do a lot more.

 

She also advocates living an authentic life, one that manifests what you believe in and who you are instead of living a life caring for what other people think and what should appeal to the eyes of society but runs counter to what your core value is.

Lastly, learn to let go; do more with less.

"You have to decide, do you want the discomfort of being safe and secure and lying about how you feel and who you are? And being disconnected from that? Or do you want the discomfort of knowing that you create your safety and security? And then, because of that, you allow yourself to be uncomfortable, and to not be liked all the time because you're standing up for who you are and what you believe in?" - Nikki Kett
