• What to do if you feel you don't have enough TIME to practice the Thrive First Method


• How practicing discipline can prevent overworking and encourage thriving

Today I want to talk to you about the REAL reason you might be getting in your own way in relation to a goal that is meaningful to you.

Join me in Team Thrive First - www.tlb.org.uk/ttcheckout

Some helpful timestamps:

• 3:11 - Consider how YOU best work, what are YOUR preferences? What support (including SELF support) do YOU need?


• 8:05 - Consider how you’re APPROACHING goal setting and if this is conducive to your success


• 9:40 - It isn’t about “trying harder”


• 12:12 - A different way of goal setting - ZOOM OUT to zoom back in


• 15:37 - But why DO we get in our own way?


• 17:10 - Why it’s a positive thing to acknowledge your fears


• 19:20 - Your fears won’t go away by pushing them down


• 22:30 - How does the Thrive First Method help you to work through your fears in a way that is sustainable for YOU


• 24:35 - How to work with High Value Activities (instead of an endless to-do list)


• 27:00 - What’s the first most obvious step?


• 27:57 - But what about if I have negative self talk?


• 29:25 - Why it’s important to ACTUALLY support yourself when your fears bang the fear drum


• 31:18 - How to NOT overlook your progress & keep going (even when you’re not seeing results)

Quotes to take away:

"Your fears won’t go away by pretending they don’t exist"

"Acknowledging the growth in your inner world will sustain you when you’re not seeing the results you wanted to in your outer world"

So as I create the "DO" element of the Thrive First Method. I was asked this question from a client (and dear friend): "What do I do when something comes up unexpectedly that throws out my plans for the day/ week. It’s hard not to have an attitude of “it’s all gone to sh*t now anyway” and then the plan goes out the window completely  xxx"

In today's episode I'm giving you my 5 tips in response.  Links:

Do you hate the thought of failure? Are you doing anything and everything you can to avoid failing? This includes 'playing small', not sharing your ideas, not ever trying / starting ... all of it.  Or perhaps you've tried and put yourself out there and fell flat on your face, a confidence knock you don't know if you'll ever come back from??? If so - THIS episode is for you.   Links:
