With the current work from home climate, the flexible to choose your hours is more available now than ever. Do you know when you are most productive? Do you know when you will naturally get into the zone?

You cannot be expect to perform at a high intensity for the whole day or even for 8 "work" hours.  Working the typically 9-5 is honestly an old way of thinking. We should be prioritize people's most productive times over a set time.  If you could pick 4 hours without meetings and just focus time what would it be?

This is also why my morning routine doesn’t start until 10 or 11 because my productive hours are from 5-8am. Why spend is valuable productive time doing routine tasks? Morning routines are great but the time of it doesn’t matter as much as the consistency of completing the tasks.

In today's episode we are talking about self-doubt and how to reduce or minimize the negative self-talk.

"Everyone experiences self-doubt. Think about the most successful person you know, they have experienced self-doubt. Self-doubt is feelings of not being capable or good enough to achieve the outcome you want. Not all self-doubt is bad. Sometimes it can act as motivation for you. Maybe you are not as talented as you want to be at something and it pushes you to become better. The type of self-doubt that stops you from moving forward in life is the kind I am talking about to today. It can come when responding to a text or being asked to complete a new task. When you know you are truly capable of completing the task but you lie to yourself about your ability."

Today's episode we discuss how to find happiness in your life already. Achieving goals can only improve your life, but it won't make you happy if you are already not happy.

So we are diving into 4 techniques that will create or show you happiness in your own life.

Quotes:

Brene Bown: “Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments - often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we're too busy chasing down the extraordinary moments. Other times we're so afraid of the dark we don't dare let ourselves enjoy the light. A joyful life is not a floodlight of joy. That would eventually become unbearable. I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude and inspiration”
