To celebrate episode 100 I am sharing my WHY. I get a little emotional, ok a LOT emotional, but this is my Truth. It's my honor to share these tools with as many people as possible. These tools have completely changed my life and the lives of my clients.

To set goals or not to set goals, that is the question.

In this episode I make a case that you are ALREADY goal oriented. However, if you don't do it on purpose, your primitive mind will operate with one goal in mind: Move AWAY from discomfort. The problem? That reactive behavior won't help you evolve or make the positive changes you want.

You'll learn how to handle emotions that come up on the way to your goals so they don't prevent the growth you seek.

Emotional mastery is a big part of what we do in The Pleasure Project Program. There's one week left to join us in 2023. Click here for details.

In this episode I'm teaching on 2 Yoga Sutras that will help you manifest your goals like a yogi. 

The first one, Yoga Sutra 1.12 introduces two essential elements of yogic philosophy: abhyasa (persistent effort) and vairagya (non-attachment to the result). This is about focusing on what you CAN control (showing up consistently and doing your best) and letting go of that you can't (the results of your actions).

The second one, Yoga Sutra 2.33 says, “When negative thoughts present themselves, cultivate and think the opposite thoughts with feeling". This one is about being the watcher of your mind and noticing when unhelpful thoughts pop into your mind and choosing more useful, empowering thoughts that will lead you towards your goals.

Today is the day 3 of Goal Week. Every day this week I'm dropping my top tips and mindset shifts to move into 2023 with more intention, clarity and confidence. In this episode I share 6 mindset shifts to achieve your goals with ease. My pleasure project was all about changing how I approached my goals. BEFORE the project I was taking rushed action from a place of scarcity, doubt, stress, anxiety and pressure. Even though I was taking tons of action, it wasn't leading to the results I desired. I decided to focus on what what fueling my actions - my identity, thoughts, beliefs, feelings and energy. These 6 mindset shifts not only allowed me to enjoy the journey more, but it was also more effective than fpcusing on actions alone.

Last week I found myself in a bit of a funk. I was feeling down and took myself through a 3 steps process that allowed me to move through it and come out feeling 100X better. This is a process I've been refining over the last year that has changed the way I deal with the "shitty 50" - the 50% of life that's painful, unpleasant, challenging and uncomfortable. I want to normalize being in a "funk" because we falsely believe that we should be happy all the time. When we're not, we make it a problem and often don't cope in the healthiest ways. Save this episode and come back to it anytime you're in a mood that you're struggling with. 

Here are the 3 steps:

1. Move TOWARDS the uncomfortable feeling. Allow, accept and open up to it. Notice how it feels in your body. Pay attention to the sensations, vibrations and energetic expression of the emotion you're experiencing.

2. Understand the cause. Your feelings are caused by your thoughts. What are you thinking about? Focusing on? Twitch from "thinker" to "observer". This is the practice of metacognition. By doing this, you gain insight into how you're creating your "funk".

3. Redirect your mind. Use the following journal questions to generate more pleasurable feelings:

Have you ever noticed that when you're angry, your brain finds more and more things to be angry about?

One of the primary Ayurvedic principles is, like increases like and opposites attract. I was thinking about how this relates to emotions. 

The emotional state you're in will create more thoughts to reinforce that emotion. If you don't interrupt it by processing your emotion, you stay "stuck" in that emotion. There are many ways to process your emotions (I share a handful in this episode), but the key is to STOP a negative thought spiral before it takes fire. The thoughts you practice become habituated thought and emotional habits, so choose them wisely.

If you want to create pleasureable thought and feeling habits, this is one of the things you'll learn to master in The Pleasure Project Program, my new coaching program that starts January 23rd, 2023. Click here to apply now.
