When someone asks you what you do for fun, do you have an immediate answer? Do you have a hobby? On this episode, Producer Syd and I kick back and take a look into what we love to do simply for fun and how to have more fun in 2021 (which seems to be the most popular New Year’s Resolution.) Listen and let's take a peek at the lighter side of life.

On this episode of the podcast, I am sitting down to chat with a true muse of mine, Hillary Banks. I am proud to introduce you to this thoughtful, genuine and authentic women who constantly challenges me to grow and evolve. Today we discuss how your mind responds to the words you use. Are you speaking power into your life, or are you disempowering yourself? In your inner narrative, is facing a blank page terrifying or thrilling? Is your solitude joyful or depressing? Is quarantine a nightmare or an opportunity? Do you “have to” do something or do you “get to” do something? You are the director of your thoughts and attitude. It's time to take responsibility for the programs running in our mind.

Choose your words. Direct your thoughts. This is the art of self-control. Taking OWNERSHIP of your emotions and RESPONSIBILITY for your actions. This is personal growth in action.

I've seen so many people on social media talking about their new resolutions and goals and so many times it seems like people try to change everything about their health habits all at one time. We spend a few weeks at the holidays eating and drinking and then flipping a light switch we try to turn it all around on January 1st. We're simply setting ourselves up to fail. It doesn't have to be this way. It's taken me almost a decade to develop all the daily health habits I have today. In this episode I am giving you permission to take a deep breathe and only change one or two things at a time.

I have read a lot about building habits or "habit stacking" and I understand the power in great habits. What I find just as powerful is the idea of "success stacking." It's the idea of creating small goals, pushing through with that goal to succeed, gaining the confidence from that success and then building on top of that. This can be applied to all aspects of life from moving our bodies in the "Rock Your Life" challenge to work related goals to relationship goals and beyond. I've heard from many of you doing the "Rock Your Life" challenge and it seems there are lots of people who just need a pep talk, need some confidence, and need to believe that anything is possible.

As mentioned in this episode, if you need some instant inspiration check out this "Ted Talk" from Nick Vujicic

Hey Rockers! I have decided to do a "Rock Your Life Challenge" to help get us through the end of this very stressful year. We've all heard the research connecting moving your body to relieving stress. Well, headed into the Holidays with the huge amount of stress everyone is already carrying seems like a very daunting task. That makes this the ideal time to prioritize some self-care. Listen to the podcast and join the #RockYourLifeChallenge for self-care fun!

This week we're talking about how to keep the creative spark alive. Director and Producer Dennis Willis started Soundwaves TV when he was only 14 years old and has kept that creative passion alive for many many years. How does he do it? What keeps his spark alive? In this episode we discuss our creative journeys, the pressures we put on ourselves, the way our paths and dreams have changed over time and the lessons we've learned along the way.

"Every creative process, whether it's a song or a movie or an episode of our show, only has to do one thing....and that is be faithful to itself."

-Dennis Willis
