Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Thank you for listening to episode 172 of The Everyday Life Balance Show.

I hope you enjoyed last week the first part of Inspiring Messages To End The Year Strong and Create A Brighter Future where I shared with you how to make sure that you don’t let your circumstances dictate your future. Please listen to episode 171 of the Everyday Life Balance Show if you have not done so.

The general tendency in challenging times is to refrain from moving forward by holding back your most important goals. However, my second message to end the year strong and create a brighter future is: Don’t give up on your dreams. Since my philosophy is “This too shall pass” I believe it is necessary to plant NOW the right seeds for a better future.

Keep following your joy by living your life purposefully. You might get distracted by all the events going on around you. However, now is the best opportunity to remain focused and believe in the accomplishments of your dreams. 

How do you ensure you hold on to your dreams? You take daily steps to move you closer to their accomplishments.

What makes you deserving of living your dream? It is your attitude to it and the daily actions that you take.

If you doubt whether you can make it happen: I have created for you a two-part video series: The seven key principles to achieve your dreams which will help you build a success mindset and accelerate your success. If you are excited about creating the life, you dream of you can get immediate access to the videos at  https://bit.ly/the7keysPrinciple.

When you start acting now, you are well on your way to building momentum in the new year. Don’t delay your most important dreams any longer. Now is the perfect time to complete your incompletes to excel that is anything you started a few months ago, for example, which you did not complete. Also, the most efficient way to start the new year strong is by drawing your plan now for the forthcoming year so that you have a clear direction on the 1st of January and a written goal achievement plan which serves as your guide.

Don’t give up on your dreams either. We all have the opportunity to come back. Willie Jolley, the author of the bestselling motivational book “It Only Takes A Minute” says: “A setback is a set up for a comeback.” It would be best if you decided now to come back stronger and thrive.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. As always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

Welcome to my brand new series, starting this week until the end of the year, called "Inspiring Messages To End The Year Strong and Create A Brighter Future."

Hi, my Pascale Gibon. It was Thanksgiving in North America last week, and I want to thank you, my listeners, from the bottom of my heart for committing to creating daily life balance. Thank you for listening to today’s episode 171. 

Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

I believe that now is the right time to end the year strong and prepare your year ahead. Therefore, I will be sharing with you each week golden nuggets to help you do so.

As a general rule, we know what to do; however, we don’t do it. We know, for example, that we need to introduce in our lives new healthy habits however we hesitate, procrastinate and never get started. In this case, two things are to align: the willingness to execute these healthy habits and the committed decision to make them come true no matter what.

My first message to finish the year strong and create a brighter future is: don’t let your circumstances dictate your future.

It is logical that with all of the events going on in the world, we would blame our situation. However, when we adopt the attitude of blaming our condition, we fall into victimhood, and we believe that everything is set and we cannot change it. Adopting an attitude of blame narrows our perspective and keeps us stuck.

I intend to help you open your mind to envision a different perspective which is more abundant and allows you to stretch. We cannot afford to remain stuck. It is not a favourable solution because it reveals that we do not use our full potential. 

If we were to accept that we can stretch and expand, we would find viable solutions which would improve our situation. It’s like looking at a thing, and it seems fixed, and our vision is limited to that thing. Whereas if we were to stretch, we would start to see beyond it and open ourselves up to a new field of possibilities. Seeing beyond what is inspires us to move from the old to something new, stretch and grow. There is a Law of Rhythm, and here is what it says: "The tide goes out – night follows day. Good times – bad times. When you are on a downswing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change, and things will get better. Good times are coming – think of them."

I invite you today to use your creative power and to imagine what else is possible beyond what you see right now and commit to making your new vision a reality. Your creative energy is God’s gift which you can use to unlock your potential.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. The idea behind my new series is to help you finish the year strong and carry this high spirit of achievement into the new year. You can do it!

As always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

I will end today’s episode with a quote:

“Life is a song sing it. Life is a game, play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream, realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love, enjoy it. -Sai Baba.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

I think the big WORD that comes to mind concerning our current circumstances is adaptability.

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Thank you for listening to episode 170 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. 

What comes to your mind when you think of this word, adaptability?

More than ever, we are to improve our adaptability skills.

Many of us, for example, have to adapt to change by, rethinking our career, retraining, closing down our business, modifying or elevating our lifestyle or enhancing our relationships.

Therefore our adaptability skills leave room for our desire to improve the quality of our life. 

Our adaptability is dependent upon the perspective we have on change. My perspective on change is that when it expresses improvement, progress and healthy habits, we can move towards the quality of life we desire.  

The quicker you adapt to change and let go of resisting the new, the better. We are at the crossroad in history where change is inevitable. However, the nature of that change will depend on all of us; what we desire to create next. 

I want to illustrate today’s topic on adaptability skills by telling you a true story.

It is Rosie Patterson’s story. Her story inspired me to write my bestselling book, Yes To Love™, and you will find a feature of it in the book. 

If you have heard the story before I hope you don’t mind listening to it again.

Here we go:

Rosie was an analyst in the City until she got utterly burnt out. She was put under tremendous pressure to perform. She was young, and she had to prove herself. The 26-year-old was working 12 to 14 hours a day, and her evenings were spent at internal networking events or wooing potential clients over dinner. She managed this work pattern with only six hours of sleep a night until it caught up with her. She no longer had a personal life, her relationship with her boyfriend collapsed, she was struggling to sleep, and she was always anxious. She fell into depression and could no longer cope with life. She also became very tearful, unhappy, overwhelmed and out of control over her life. She was relieved when she was made redundant from her job because she was no longer functioning as a human being and able to get out of bed in the morning. She has now rebuilt her life after some counselling and a 6-month break. Rosie retrained in nutrition and has now set up her own company.

Rosie took advantage of her new work situation to change her life around. You are responsible for your own life, and you have the freedom to choose the life you desire ultimately: an unhappy life or a fulfilling one. Even though the job was paying well and was high profile Rosie was unhappy with the demands of the job. She could no longer differentiate between her profession and personal life. It happens that the decision to change career was made for her.

Given Rosie’s circumstances, what are the adaptability skills she had to develop? 

The first adaptability skill is fitting into a new environment. Rosie’s high profile job in the City was a new environment. She had to double on her performance: she was new to the job, working in a very competitive environment, and she had to prove herself.

The second adaptability skill is accepting that expectations may change. 

• Rosie’s dream got shattered. Probably, a broken dream was what Rosie expected the least; working in the City of London was perhaps her lifelong dream; however, it did not turn out the way she expected eventually. Her job seemed suitable to her at first; but, it was not the case. She faced a new work pattern which did not suit her in the end. She was unhappy with the demands of the job.

The third adaptability skill is work/life balance. Rosie needed to develop the skill to balance her professional and personal life. Her work life took the majority of her time, and as a consequence, her personal life suffered. A lack of work/life balance affected her love relationship.

The fourth adaptability skill is to reintroduce real balance. After the redundancy, Rosie had to rebuild her life. Stress, anxiety, depression led to a crisis as well as physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. Enough was enough. 

and lastly,

The fifth adaptability skill is to open up to new opportunities and options. Rosie decided to retrain into a new career. This might resonate with you. According to Personnel Today, 56% of British people are willing to reskill and retrain. Rosie pivoted from working as an analyst in the City of London to starting her health and wellness business.

I hope that today’s episode has encouraged you to develop your adaptability skills as much as possible. Adaptability implies change. And our adaptability skills are our ability to adapt to that change as quickly as possible in the most productive fashion. Adaptability allows us therefore to face challenges must quicker, become resilient and forward thinkers.

I also hope that Rosie’s story has inspired you to adapt to change in ways that lead to positive outcomes in your life. 

I would love to share with you my interview with Rosie Patterson one day on this podcast. 

Let me recap now the five adaptability skills Rosie had to develop:

• Adaptability skill no.1: fit into a new environment
• Adaptability skill no.2: accept that expectations may change
• Adaptability skill no.3: work/life balance
• Adaptability skill no.4: reintroduce real balance
• Adaptability skill no.5: open up to new opportunities and options

As always remember that now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Hi, welcome to episode 169 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon. Thank you for listening to today's episode.

I hope that you enjoyed the 7-part series I shared with you: How To Build Inner Strength.

In today's episode, I will share with you my insight on how to best embrace change in times of crisis.

All of us are going through a transitional phase. I have read a few UK articles on what has changed since lockdown. However, they focus mainly on consumerism; what we have stopped buying or what we buy more of.

The term 'the new normal' was first used in relation to the crisis of 2007-2008. Then as the aftermath of the 2008-2012 global recession and it is used today in connection to the pandemic. 

However, I refuse to conform to a new normal' based on fear. I would instead serve a new normal based on the creation of a better future. What do you think? Do you agree?

History seems to repeat itself and now is the opportune time and pivotal moment for all of us to consciously create a SHIFT. I believe that all of the decisions that we make now will influence what will happen in the future. Therefore, it matters that we consciously make decisions which will shape a BETTER future. 

If you agree with me, this heartfelt intention necessitates individual efforts. The effort that every one of us makes now to make healthy changes in our lives will have a ripple effect. What matters is that these healthy decisions will shape a better future.

Lockdown is an opportunity to self-reflect and rethink our authentic values. Our true values are things like: how we can improve the quality of our life, grow in compassion and understanding, create loving relationships, give more love, build tolerance, enjoy more balance in our life, make a more significant contribution and progress. 

My opinion is that in the past, other people did not take the time to self-reflect and rethink their authentic values. Now is the time to let go of the old and make space for the new. I intend to schedule in my diary a complete inner and outer decluttering. What about you? I will report my progress in a future episode.

It is impossible, in my view,  to move towards the new whilst keeping the old values that do not work; like overburdening ourselves with too much baggage or intolerance. You have heard me share with you before Albert Einstein's quote that: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." 

For things to change, we need to make the concerted effort to change positively. An important question which widens our perspective is: what else is possible?

It is with these values of love, tolerance, compassion, understanding, individual efforts and progress that we can shape a better future. Our consciousness influences the global consciousness. Therefore, what we think and do as well as how we feel will impact the whole planet.

Many caring, conscious and awakening men and women feel the need right now to share their expertise, impact the lives of others and serve them most authentically. If you are one of them here is my recommendation: it's time to stretch, stand out and follow your calling with courage and confidence.

I hope you enjoyed this heartfelt message I have for you today.

Remember that now is your time to transform your life once step at a time.

I have released this year two additional episodes on the subject of building a better future; so please check them out.

The first one is called: "Could Love Shape Our Future."

The second one is: "Can We shape A better Future."

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

Building inner strength results in a more meaningful sense of peace. When you find internal peace, nothing is impossible.

Todays’ episode is the last part of the “How To Build inner strength series.” and I am delighted to share with you my 7th tool to build inner strength.

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Thank you for listening to episode 168 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. You have probably been listening to this series since I first started with episode 162. If you have not done so, please listen to the previous episodes and get some practical and golden nuggets on how you can build inner strength now. Just to let you know, you will need to write down your thoughts in a journal to make the most of today’s episode.

My 7th recommended tool to build inner strength is to return to love.

As you know, I am a big proponent of love because love is your answer.

I believe that you return to love when you intensify, in all aspects of your life, the energy of love.

To help you build inner strength, I would like to share with you today three steps you can take now to return to love.

The first step to build inner strength by returning to love is to strengthen your self-belief. Since you are a spiritual being having a human experience you have within you all of the answers that you require and you are loving.

However, your attitude towards yourself might show otherwise. By empowering the beliefs, you have about yourself; you have more power to live a more prosperous and fuller life.

I would like you to take out your journal now and examine the beliefs you have about yourself. Answer the following question: What opinions do you have about yourself?

Once you have written them down consider the following: are the beliefs you have about yourself empowering or disempowering? In other words, do they make you feel stronger, or do they make you feel weaker? Empowering thoughts are for example: “I am enough”; “I can do this”; “I am a great person”; I am lovable or “I am very loved “On the other hand disempowering beliefs are for example: “I am good for nothing”; “I can’t do this”; “it’s all the other person’s fault”; I am not good enough.”; “I will never succeed” etc.

The Science of Success shows that disempowering beliefs affect your wellbeing. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to empower yourself instead by creating a strong image of yourself, which is the second step I want you to take.

The second step to build inner strength by returning to love is to rebuild a strong image of yourself. Your self-image is the way you see yourself.

When you want to build inner strength, it is essential to rebuild your self-image, especially if you have denied your self-worth. The image you rebuild is the image of the person you wish to be. In truth, your divine nature shines brilliantly. Therefore, I invite you today to claim your self-worth by finding your sparkle and genius.

Write down now in your journal the qualities which make you a great and better person?

As you rebuild your self-image based on the qualities you have found about yourself, you become stronger.

The third step to build inner strength by returning to love is to forgive yourself and others. Forgiveness is one of the greatest gifts of love. You gift yourself and others when you forgive.

Holding grudges against others is one way of weakening your real power. When you blame, judge or criticize others, you give away your power because you do not take 100% responsibility for your life and results.

Similarly, you probably beat yourself up all day long and feel guilty for the mistakes you have made. However, please forgive yourself.

• Firstly, if you are listening to today’s episode, I know for sure that you strive to become a better person. Therefore, the most important thing is that you progress every single day.
• Secondly, please understand that you do the best you can with the resources that you have. I started this series with my first tool to build inner strength which is to grow in awareness. I invite you to go back and listen to episode 162 again.

Over the last seven weeks, I have shared with you my best tools to build inner strength. I have enjoyed doing this series and sharing my best tools with you very much.

As a reminder, here they are:

• The first tool to build inner strength is to grow in awareness. The application of knowledge and the power of wisdom combined can help you make better decisions.
• The second tool to build inner strength is to trust your inner knowing: Your inner knowing is your subconscious mind at work; the subconscious mind is also the emotional or feeling mind. It is the gut feeling you have that you know that you know or your intuition.
• The third tool to build inner strength is to follow the wisdom of the ages: Throughout the ages, wise men, teachers, prophets, theologians and philosophers have all agreed on one thing: “We become what we think about.” This statement is one of the most significant laws of the universe. You create your reality through your thoughts.
• The fourth tool to build inner strength is to master your emotions. When you master your emotions, you gain the ability to change your state from a negative or unhappy one to a positive or happy one.
• The fifth tool to build inner strength is to learn from experience. There are some life experiences which make you who you are today. Some are good experiences; some are probably bad ones. However, bad experiences can serve you as feedback to build inner strength.
• The sixth tool to build inner strength is to travel baggage-free: Travelling baggage-free is your ability to detach yourself from painful events by letting them go. As a result, you will lighten up your load, find peace and freedom, let go of any attachments, solve your life’s problems and heal your heart.
• And lastly, the seventh tool to build inner strength is to return to love.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode and the whole series on how to build inner strength. I want to end this series with a famous quote from Marianne Williamson, you might be familiar with, which was used by Nelson Mandela. It is nice to be reminded of our brilliance.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Just for today, let your light shine.

As always remember, now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a great week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Last week we covered the need to learn from experience to build inner strength. This week you will discover the sixth tool to build inner strength which is to travel baggage-free.

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 167 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for listening to today’s episode.

Before I share with you how you can travel baggage-free, let me first explain why travelling baggage free is essential to build inner strength.

In your workbook of life, there are events, which have shaken your confidence and self-esteem. These events created particular emotions on a subconscious level. These painful events and emotions stop you from moving forward and finding peace within. They weaken your ability to get on with your life because you struggle with giving them up. Travelling baggage free is, therefore your ability to detach yourself from these painful events by letting them go. As a result, you will lighten up your load, find peace and freedom, let go of any attachments, solve your life’s problems and heal your heart.

One thing for sure is that you can only move forward and to this effect, you need to travel baggage-free so that you can leap forward harmoniously. The inner strength you build by choosing to let go allows you to deal with any future challenges with more ease because you have reinforced your mental strength.

However, it would be best if you had a paradigm shift to travel baggage free. In other words, cultivating a new mindset or creating a new habit. This would entail making the conscious decision to be solution-focused or problem-solving focused as opposed to problem-focused.

When you are solution-focused, on the one hand, you choose to focus on a positive outcome to your problem. As a consequence, you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and this fills you with hope. On the other hand, when you are problem-focused, you sink deeper and deeper into the difficulty and remain stuck in a dark tunnel.

An attitude which is either solution-focused or problem-focused also creates two different states. Should you choose to become solution-focused, you are clear, whereas when you choose to be problem-focused, you feel lost in the maze.

Therefore, you have two choices. You can choose to remain stuck or to move forward depending on what you decide and how you want to feel.

If you have been chewing over these adverse events for a long time; they have become part of you and a habit. It comes up often during conversations. You might even have conversations like: “I can’t forget what this person did to me….”

• How would you feel without that story?

Unfortunately, each time you bring this adverse event up it puts you in a state of anger, anguish, stress and sometimes regret.

• How much does inner peace matter to you?

If it matters tremendously, I invite you today to travel baggage-free by letting go of all painful events and circumstances that have created a dark cloud around your heart.

One powerful way to travel baggage-free is to clear up your messes. Please take some time now to follow along with me as I go through ‘The Clear Up Your Messes Exercise. ‘

There are three steps I want you to take:

Step #1: Take some time to identify one mess from the past, which continues to create inner and outer disharmony in your life.

It could be that you have been struggling with your weight for a long time and you beat yourself up because you have not reached your ideal weight yet. Or it could be a messy divorce which makes you feel like a failure and limits your self-confidence. Or it could be something that someone told you years ago, and it still resonates in your ears from time to time and brings back painful memories.

Step #2: Choose to make the committed decision to make peace with whatever happened in the past by letting go of the mess you desire to sort out. You make peace by looking at the event from a place of wisdom and understanding.

Step #3: Heal your wounds by realizing that you cannot go back and change these painful events. What you can change, however, is how you want to feel in the present moment. It is when you are in the present moment that you find peace. Therefore, each time you catch yourself, bringing back a painful memory be present with the present moment to return to a state of equilibrium.

Please return to this exercise at any time to continue to clear up your messes related to any other past event that resurfaces in your life and creates inner and outer disharmony.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. As always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

As a rule of thumb should you want to experience more peace and build inner strength what you need is to refuse to bring back past and painful into your present experience?

Here is a summary of the three steps to clear up your messes again:

Step #1: Choose one mess from the past, which continues to create inner and out disharmony in your life.

Step #2: Choose to decide to make peace with your selected mess.

Step #3: heal your wounds.

Next week I will be sharing with you my last tool as part of the How To Build Inner Strength series.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to the Everyday Life Balance Show and to episode 166 which is part 5 of the How To Build Inner Strength Series. Thank you for listening.

I started this series on how to build inner strength with my first tool being to grow in awareness or to develop the habit to get to know yourself more and more.

In today’s episode, I am going to share with my 5th tool to build inner strength which is part of the seven levels of awareness. It is the 6th level of awareness however before I share this fifth tool in more details let me first tell you what the seven levels of awareness are so that you can place today’s episode in context.

The first level of awareness is our animal instinct: we react vs respond. It is our instinct to either fight or flight when we are in a dangerous situation.

The second level of awareness is the mass: we follow the crowd to conform since this is what society expects of us.

The third level of awareness is an aspiration: we desire to stand out from the crowd, and we aspire for something else or something different. At this level, we might want something, but we take no action towards it.

The fourth level of awareness is individuality: we take action to stand out by expressing our uniqueness; our unique skills and talents.

The fifth level of awareness is discipline: we gain the ability to follow through on our decisions and intentions. We give ourselves a command and honour it.

The sixth level of awareness is experience: real learning is to learn from your experience, and this is what I am going to expand on today.

And lastly, the seventh level of awareness is our level of mastery: it includes our ability to respond vs react in every aspect of our life.

My sixth tool to build inner strength is to learn from experience.

What do I mean by that?

There are some life experiences which make you who you are today. Some are good experiences; some are probably bad ones. However, bad experiences can serve you as feedback to build inner strength. In other words, if certain situations make you react in a particular way you feel disempowered, threatened, anxious or fearful it is time to learn from your experience to build inner strength to have a better experience. It is, therefore, a matter of decision. 

Let me give you an example. If you have to go for a new job interview and you are scared because the last one was a complete disaster you can pump up the courage to learn from your previous experience and find ways to do better next time. In practical terms, perhaps you got nervous, you were shaking, and you could hardly speak. What you have learnt from this experience is that you get uncomfortable during job interviews and you lose control.

However, how could you build inner strength to increase your chances of a more successful interview next time?

There are various tools at your disposal:

• One way is to picture yourself being in control of the situation and visualising the interview as if you were having a conversation with a friend. 
• Another way could be to improve your confidence by getting insider details like your chosen company’s philosophy, code of practice etc. You could also prepare well in advance for the interview; by practising and considering possible common questions.

When you make the conscious decision to learn from every life experience, this leads to a positive outcome; a stronger you!

Another example is you have a goal you want to achieve. You have been moving towards it for a while, and it has been a struggle. However, you might only see failure and miss a significant point. There is another aspect of your goal achievement journey, which you might not see. This experience; pursuing your goal has helped you build inner strength and grow as a person. You still believe in your dream, and you are still at it, which equates to your ability to be resilient, patient and persistent. 

To learn from your experience to build inner strength, I recommend you do this exercise. This exercise is incredibly helpful if you feel deflated about an undesired outcome in the past which is still bothering you. Take some time to reflect and answer the following three questions:

When you consider your undesired outcome:

1. What are you learning from this experience about yourself?
2. What has it allowed you to do?
3. Whom are you becoming thank to your awareness?

In most cases, I am sure that your undesired outcome has made you a stronger person, and I invite you to acknowledge it. When you have the awareness that any life challenge is part of your experience or workbook of problems to be solved, you become stronger. You can move mountains and accept the challenge willingly.

I believe that the conscious ability to learn from experience builds inner strength. Also, it has a powerful effect of developing your problem-solving ability in the wisest, quickest and most effective way possible.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. As always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time. 

Remember that if a past or present undesired outcome shakes your confidence reflect on these three vital questions:

1. What are you learning from this experience about yourself?
2. What has it allowed you to do?
3. Whom are you becoming thank to your awareness?

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Take care, have a fantastic week and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Last week I shared with you to follow the wisdom of the ages to build inner strength. That is: “We become what we think about.” In today’s episode, I will share with you my fourth tip to build inner strength: master your emotions.

Hi, I’m Pascale GIBON and welcome to episode 165 of the Everyday Life Balance Show and my "How To Build Inner Strength 7-part series."

According to the Oxford Dictionary: The definition of emotional intelligence is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.

Emotional intelligence falls therefore into the domains and competencies of self-awareness; self-management; social-awareness and relationship management.

Mastering your emotions does not relate to stopping yourself from crying, for example, but more to do with gaining the ability to change your state from a negative or unhappy one to a positive or happy one.

For example, someone made you very angry, you are boiling inside, and you feel shaken. You are, therefore, with the emotion of anger. The feeling of anger you feel equates to a particular thought or belief you have about the event or the other party involved.

We often say: “This person makes me so angry.” However, if you were to take 100% responsibility for the way you feel it would be fair to say that you chose to respond to the situation or the individual in question with anger.

You can choose to remain angry. However, should you decide to build inner strength and cultivate peace, how do you change the emotion of anger to return to a state of inner and outer harmony?

Emotion is an energy in motion; therefore, it comes and goes. You might get angry quickly; however, anger is not your natural state of being; it usually dissipates after a few hours or a short time. The best way to change the emotion of anger to return to a state of inner and outer harmony faster is to go back to the thought or belief that made you react with anger. It could be something the other individual said, which triggered and brought back an unpleasant memory, for example.

Remember that any result you get in life comes from your attitude, which is a combination of your thoughts, feelings and actions. Therefore, when you get results that you don’t want it is wise to go back to the starting point; the thought or belief which created the emotion and led you to react particularly in an unpleasant and sometimes hurtful way.

When you develop your ability to master your thoughts and feelings, you not only build inner strength but your also cultivate the 7th level of awareness which is the ability to respond instead of reacting to your life’s events and circumstances.

You react when your first reaction is one of anger, frustration, panic, anxiety or jealousy, for example.

You respond when you develop the ability to view your situation differently. You take a step back and change your state by bringing in inner peace instead.

Your challenge is to develop the new habit to respond increasingly as opposed to react to your life’s circumstances and experiences to build inner strength, to improve the quality of your life and lastly to find freedom and peace. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode as always remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.

Remember also that you are always able to build the skill to master your emotions.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon and welcome to episode 164 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for listening to today’s show.

Let’s dive into another tool to build inner strength. As part of How to Build Your Inner Strength Series. The third way to build your inner strength is to follow the wisdom of the ages.

• What has the wisdom of the ages revealed and taught us? 

Throughout the ages wise men, teachers, prophets, theologians and philosophers have all agreed on one thing: “We become what we think about.” This statement is one of the most significant laws of the universe. You create your reality through your thoughts. 

Lao Tzu said: “Knowing others is intelligence. Knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.”

In practical terms, whenever a problem or challenge arises, you can observe your thoughts or attitude of mind. 

Self-reflect on your state of mind and ask yourself these two questions: are your thoughts of a constructive nature, thus increasing your wellbeing and attracting positive things in your life? Or are they of a destructive nature, thus making you feel uncomfortable and attracting a lot of misery, negativity and difficulties? 

I shared with you last week that the mind includes two parts: the conscious mind, also known as the thinking mind and the subconscious mind, also known as the feeling or emotional mind. 

As you know, the conscious mind can accept or reject any thought that is impressed upon it, and you can master your mind. The majority of other people operate from the five bodily senses: the sense of touch, taste, smell, sound and sight.

Here is the thing to master our mind; we can not only rely on our five bodily senses. Human beings possess six powerful high mind’s faculties which help them strengthen their attitude of mind and build inner strength. Once you create the habit of activating these six powerful higher mind’s faculties, you can transform your life. I hear you, but what are they? The six powerful higher mind’s faculties you need to activate are:

Reason: we can think with the aim of obtaining a clear outcome.

Imagination: Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is better than knowledge.” Imagination activates our power of creativity and visualization. 

Memory: this mental muscle gives us the ability to memorize things and to increase our ability to use past experiences positively.  

Intuition: I covered intuition briefly last week. It is our gut feeling, our intuitive sense. We know that we know. 

Perception: it is our point of view, the way we see or perceive things. This higher mind’s faculty gives us the ability to view things differently to transform our lives.

And lastly the Will: it is our ability to concentrate or focus. What you focus on grows; therefore, this higher mind’s faculty is also essential. 

Here they are again in no particular order because they are equally essential to master the mind.

Reason, imagination, memory, intuition, perception and the will.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that we already possess these powerful higher mind’s faculties; however, we seldom use them to transform our life due to a lack of knowledge. Now that I have brought them to your attention, I invite you to activate them as often as possible to transform your life.  

“We become what we think about.” What do you think about most of the time? Take some time to reflect on this question today.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. As always Remember now is your time to transform your life once step at a time.

Take some time to observe your thoughts as well as activate your six higher mind’s faculties to master your mind and build inner strength. As a result, you will transform the quality of your life.

If you want to learn more about the six higher mind’s faculties, you can listen to episode 105 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. 

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

......................................

Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon and welcome to episode 163 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for listening to today’s podcast.

As you know, I started last week a series on how to build inner strength. The first tool I shared with you last week was to grow in awareness, and I emphasised that by applying knowledge and the power of wisdom, you can transform your life positively.

When you want to grow as a person awareness is everything. The second tool I intend to share with you this week to build inner strength is to trust your inner knowing.

Your inner knowing is your subconscious mind at work; the subconscious mind is also the emotional or feeling mind. It is the gut feeling you have that you know that you know or your intuition.

Let me give you an example:

You are about to cross the road you look right to check whether it is safe; however, you get the gut feeling to look also left just in case. In this instance, your intuition is at work.

The difference between the conscious mind (which is also known as the thinking mind) and the subconscious mind is that at a conscious level thoughts come and go in other words you can choose to have, accept, reject or neglect any idea. In comparison, the subconscious mind can only accept the thought that is impressed upon it.

However, let’s talk more about the subconscious for a moment. The subconscious is a part of your personality which stores all of your memories, life experiences and paradigms. Research in neuroscience reveals that 95% of our mental activity is beyond our conscious awareness, and only 5% is conscious awareness. Therefore,  personal transformation can only occur from the inside out. The magic happens from the moment you are in tune with what is happening at the subconscious level.

A great way to be in tune with what is happening at the subconscious level is through meditation. Meditation is a great way to create transformation from the inside out. You become in tune with the higher part of you and find peace and freedom.

Since your conscious thoughts influence your subconscious mind, you must master your mind and be more aware of what you think about frequently and repeatedly at a conscious level. Moreover, it would be best if you worked with your subconscious mind to increase your wellbeing and build your inner strength.

An easy way to do this is to be aware of your emotions and how you feel? It is a mistake to hide our feelings because they indicate our state of mind and they can serve us to change our state into a positive one successfully. Therefore, don’t hide your feelings, be in tune with them, accept them, shake them up if they are negative, celebrate them if they are positive.

I often hear my students say: “I have this particular feeling; however, I don’t trust it. “ I believe it is essential that you trust yourself more and recognise that you are first and foremost, a spiritual being having a human experience. The best way to trust yourself more is to invite the energy of trust into your life every single day and ask yourself this question: What needs to happen for me to trust myself and others more?

Your gut feeling is, therefore, the spiritual side of you, your intuition which guides you. All you need is to activate trust in your inner knowing, in yourself and the highest good. Your inner knowing is always for the highest good and progress. Therefore, I recommend that you discard anything that shows up that is not for the highest good and progress.

The more you will connect to your inner, knowing the more you will build trust in yourself and inner strength.

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. As always remember, now is your turn to transform your life one step at a time.

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love.
