Today we are looking at Response Ability - that is your ability to choose how you respond to what shows up in front of you.  

  
In this episode we'll explore:

Re- establishing the the power of context before we start exploring the context of response ability, or commonly known as responsibility.
Defining what responsibility actually is and what it's not.
The impact we feel when our fear and responsibility collide.
How crucial it is to stop and acknowledge how we're feeling and what our considered response is to that feeling, at that time.
The 'reacting' to something is actually 'acting' to something that is already over, and how this moment again gives us the ability to choose how we respond.
That our fears are just feelings, they're not facts, and we have the choice of how we want to respond to fear.
How fear, if not responded to well can send you into a hyperdrive of doing.
The fact that we get to choose our context - love or fear.

The Change Room podcast with Suzy Jacobs creates the space for change. It’s the essential conversation to single-handedly transform business and financial reality.

Building a business and creating wealth is challenging and it’s hard to know who to trust. From academic models and scores of bestselling books to well-meaning advisors and seasoned professionals, we suffer business and financial solutions overload.

Drawing on 30 years of human potential practice, we share the simple framework to build a solid foundation of self-responsibility, choice and a deep sense of trust.  Through robust and humorous discussions, and sharing personal experiences, we shine a light on key distinctions and extract their essence to reveal the true source of change.

Why are we always in process? Because we choose to be. Living and being is a process, not an outcome and it involves doing the work and overcoming obstacles but we get better at it over time.
In this episode we cover:

What occurs when you choose to be in process and choose this as the foundation for life.
Why "Im not good enough" is the source code that needs to be changed.
What drives our need to be "done"?
The goal of the new paradigm.
How to enjoy the process of creating who we're being

#Thrival Tips for your Thrival Kits:  


 •When the "not good enough" shows up, just remember - it's a feeling. Breathe and respond from love.

 •Accept that you're always in process and that's okay.

 •Be here now because there's only one moment. That's a gift. You can choose to be or not to be in process, and love and enjoy it.

It's Never Done, It's Simply In Process | #30

We all experience drama in our lives. In fact, we are very good at creating drama and being highly dramatic over the smallest things. It can be very frustrating especially when we don't know we're there. So, how do you know you're stuck in the drama?
In this episode we cover:

Suzy's personal experience with this distinction and the steps she took to get out of it.
How drama affects your life and takes you away from the things you need to focus on.
Recognising the drama by being aware of the 3 key elements of the old paradigm.
How this distinction relates to previous ones we've discussed, especially the distinction of "I'm not good enough".  
Identifying the source of the drama and getting through it.

#Thrival Tips for your Thrival Kits:  

Practice asking yourself often, "Where am I coming from - fear or love?" Then choose.
Fear is insidious. It runs the world. So chances are, you are in fear whenever you ask if you are in fear.  So, let go and choose.
You are the one that's causing everything that's occurring. You are causing it all with loving intention.

How Do You Know You're Stuck In The Drama | #29

It can be very frustrating when things don't go your way despite all the changes you make. But nothing will change no matter how many times you seem to change it if you don't tell the whole truth.
In this episode we cover:

Why this distinction is the ultimate responsibility that requires massive honesty.
How this relates to the distinction of "I get to choose and create the whole of my reality".
Lorna's experience of this distinction, how she overcame it and how she is dealing with it now.
Being in charge of the distinction rather than getting rid of it.
How the distinction applies to running your business.

#Thrival Tips for your Thrival Kits:  

If you want something to change, tell the truth and keep telling the truth until it does.
You will recognize you've told the whole truth when the energy shifts, and it will when you tell the whole truth.
Be patient and gentle with yourself. It's not a race. Be here now and just tell the truth.

If Something Doesn't Change, The Truth Hasn't Been Told | #28

Being misunderstood or not understanding something can cause us frustration, but asking one this simple question can change everything: "What do you mean by that?"
In this episode we cover:

The challenges that changing communication channels bring.
How and why it is important to be responsible in our communication.
The reason why communication doesn't work when something isn't being said.
The risks of reading between the lines.
The use of miscommunication as a reason for not being clear enough.
Why being misunderstood is a myth.

#Thrival Tips for your Thrival Kits:  

When you don't get the response you want or expect, ask yourself what you didn't say. Take responsibility and then communicate it.
Whenever you find yourself reacting to a communication, 1) ask "what did you mean by that?" or 2) feedback what you thought it meant by saying "did you mean this?" and then respond.
Being explicit in all your communication is a choice. It saves time, energy and makes life simple.

What Do You Mean By That | #27

Indecision may be uncomfortable or painful, especially when faced with making big or even small decisions, but it's part of the process that serves an important purpose. In this episode, we distill the purpose of indecision.
In this episode we cover:

The outcomes we can expect from the space of 'not knowing yet'.
The critical role that indecision plays in creating our reality.
2 scenarios of indecision in your life.
How 'not knowing something' can make a difference to the decision making process.
How making mistakes help us learn, grow and find our unshakeable truth.

#Thrival Tips for your Thrival Kits:  

Accept that indecision is part of your process and let go of self-judgment when you don't know. Just be willing to sit in the discomfort of indecision and it will shift.
When you don't know what to choose or if you feel stuck, ask yourself: is it simply fear of choosing what you know you want, or is it that you actually need more information?
Confusion and indecision are simply showing you there's something you do not know and that when you do know it, it will change everything.
