November 04, 2014 #82: BE A FIRST RATE YOU

BE A FIRST RATE YOU
EPISODE #82
Always be a first-rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else. –Judy Garland

EPISODE #82
What I want you to take away from today’s show:

There is only one you.
You are unique, and there is a great purpose to that uniqueness.
How to celebrate your individuality for the greater good.

What I want you to take away from today’s show:

There is only one you.
You are unique, and there is a great purpose to that uniqueness.
How to celebrate your individuality for the greater good.

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die – whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.
–Gilda Radner
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
–Ralph Waldo Emmerson
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.
–Dr. Seuss

Story:
Handwriting is personal. I love handwriting because I love words, I love type font and well, I love the way words can transform how the paper looks. I also love written words, and in particular, handwriting, because it reveals to me something about that person that I could not have otherwise known. Handwriting is intimate. Seeing the handwriting of someone you know and love after a long time of not having seen it makes you smile on the inside a little bit. I have been known to save letters, simply to save someone’s handwriting.

The science of graphology indicates that how you write can reflect up to 5,000 distinct personality and character traits about you. Cursive is even more conclusive to your style. Handwriting experts claim that all handwriting is unique to the individual. It reminds me of how incredibly unique we each are. We are all taught how to write in the same way, yet we all write differently.

I want you to embrace your own uniqueness.

A rose is beautiful.

A sunflower is beautiful.

A daisy is beautiful.

All are beautiful and similar, yet different and unique.

Trusting your individual uniqueness challenges you to lay yourself open. –James Broughton
What a privilege to be here on the planet to contribute your unique donation to humankind. Each face in the rainbow of colors that populate our world is precious and special. –Morris Dees

(1). You are one of a kind and unique.
My mentor Kim tells me all the time that “There’s only one Trish Blackwell.” Likewise, “there’s only one you!”

Oh, my gosh did I spend years of my life wanting to be someone other than myself.

I wanted my name to be Kelly, like my best friend when I was six.
I wanted to be more naturally skinny, like my high school friend Hunter.
I wanted to be from a wealthier family, like the girls in my boarding school.
I wanted to be taller like my college friend Melissa.
I wanted to be cooler, like some of my college sorority (ok, “eating house”) sisters
I wanted to be smarter in science, math, and history, like my brother (memory retention!)
I wanted to be funnier, like my friend Angi
I wanted to be more naturally stylish, like my friend Caroline

The problem is that when we focus away from our strengths, we lose ourselves for the strength that we really have. When we waste emotional energy wishing we were more like someone else, we become blind to see ourselves for the person that we are.

October 28, 2014 #81: BALANCE IS ATTAINABLE

BALANCE IS ATTAINABLE
EPISODE #81
Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.
–Thomas Merton

In this episode we will cover:

What one thing you can do today to have more balance
How balance can change your experience of life
7 Ways to Increase Balance in Your Life

There’s no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences. –Jack Welch

Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance. -Epicurus

Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them. –Thomas Kinkade

Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. –Steven R. Covey

Extremes are easy. Strive to balance. –Colin Wright

Why we struggle with balance:

-We want to do it all

-We think we need to do it all to be worthy

-We think it’s our job to make people like us, making it hard for us to say ‘no”

-We have bought into the concept that we earn our worth / value

-We keep ourselves so busy because sometimes we don’t want to think about life

Seven Ways to Increase Balance in Your Life:

Stop staying that you can’t find balance in your life.
Claim the word & repeat (make it your password)
Create boundaries with your time
Be okay saying “no”
Invest in building confidence in your self-efficacy
Keep moving, but stand still sometimes
Give yourself permission to expand the areas that need it (Circle of Life Wheel)

October 21, 2014 #80: HOW TO EMERGE FROM A FUNK

HOW TO EMERGE FROM A FUNK
EPISODE #80
Remember, confidence is rock fuel…it will get you places you never imagined possible.
Go out there, rev the engine of your life, and go live life to the fullest today!

In this week’s episode we’re going to cover:

The "sideways years" of my story ... what you haven't heard yet and how I broke free from depression during those times
How to emerge from a funk
Five action steps to take to help you imagine yourself unstuck and choosing happiness again

How to really emerge from a funk:
You must see yourself for how you want to be.
You must be willing to imagine yourself out of the place where you feel stuck.
You must refuse to engage in any sort of pity-party.
You must take action.

My action steps: (the more estimable things you do, the more self-esteem you will have)

Make a financial plan (did so with the help of my mom)
Read more (because I didn’t have any free money to go out with friends, literally)
Pursue your dream, even in the baby steps (I wrote every night I got home from work)
Put good things into your mind (I went to conferences, studied leaders, picked up my Bible again and sought mentorship from people I respected)
Surprise yourself with your strength (I did this through my athletic pursuits…and it led to athletic sponsorships, international travel, “Team USA”, etc. and ultimately my own business)
