Welcome to another episode of the Weekly 3.

The Weekly 3 is a series where I bring you three thoughts, tools, or concepts to help you in your journey, but in a condensed format so you can get what you need and move on with your day with renewed hope, determination, and commitment to your own growth.

This week's topics are:                                                                                                                                                 

1.  Cognitive Dissonance - Any time we do work to stretch and grow beyond our current selves, we feel like we're straddling identities: the person we were, the person we are, and the person we're striving to be.  It can feel incredibly uncomfortable.  Many of us make the discomfort mean we must be on the wrong path, and retreat back to our comfort zones. But this dissonance is actually an important and necessary part of the growth journey. 

2.  Knowing vs. Doing - Most of us know intellectually what we need to do to create the change we want. The struggle is going from knowing to actually doing. Listen to this segment to see how working on your mindset can help you bridge the gap.

3.  Top Regrets - Are you waiting to live your life? Learn what people most regret when their time is coming to an end, as shared by Bronnie Ware in her bestselling book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Which of the five most resonates with you? What would you most regret? How can you use that awareness to inform how you choose to live your life now?

If we want to set ourselves up for success, we need to develop the skill of identifying and planning for obstacles.

The most common obstacles are our thoughts.

Some thoughts are minor annoyances, ones we can quickly see through and move past.

But some are Kryptonite thoughts, thoughts that when we think them instantly weaken us, sap us of hope and belief, and leave us feeling powerless.

Kryptonite thoughts can cause us to spiral in self-doubt, fear, shame, embarrassment, anxiety, depression. If we're not aware of them, they can incapacitate us.

Kryptonite thoughts feel more powerful because they cut through our protective armor and hit us where we feel most vulnerable.

But, like any thought patterns, they're habits. In some cases, they're deeply ingrained habits because we've believed them for so long.

We all have them.   

But here's the thing.

Kryptonite thoughts are still just thoughts, which means we get to choose whether we keep them or discard them. They're still just sentences in our heads that have no power over us unless we make their presence mean something that creates an emotional charge or causes us pain.

In this episode, I share a few ways we can challenge Kryptonite thoughts so they stop holding us back in life.

If you're doing the work to loosen your most debilitating thoughts, you'll want to also listen to Episode 32 of the podcast: Choosing Motivational Quotes With Intention.

We've been taught that anything is possible if we truly believe. It makes sense then why so many of us use our level of belief at any given moment as a sign of whether something is or is not working, or whether something is or is not possible for us.

In this bite-sized episode, I talk about why waning belief or not believing altogether is not a problem. It's just a signal that we've forgotten to think on purpose. It's an invitation to recalibrate.

The most successful people aren't those who've never struggled to believe in themselves or their dreams. The most successful are those who've developed the skill of belief resilience: the ability and capacity to weather the discomfort of moving back and forth through stages of belief until they achieve what they want.

We hear a lot in the personal growth and development space about giving ourselves permission. Giving ourselves permission to dream big, to try something new, to go for what we want, to start over, to be human, to fail, to step into our greatness, to make lots of money, to be wildly successful, to take up space, to be our authentic selves, to slow down, to reprioritize our lives, etc.

But what does giving ourselves permission really mean, and why do we think we need it?

In this episode, I break down the power of permission, what we're really asking for when we seek it, and how giving ourselves permission to do or not do something can be an invaluable tool for stretching and growing outside of our comfort zone.
