How do you set goals and develop the persistence needed to see those goals through? How do you resist getting discouraged when you hit road bumps along the way?

Working towards our goals can be a struggle especially when our past failures weigh us down and when we get tangled up in the “How?” of it all.

What we set our minds and focus on does not only affect how we view our reality, but it also impacts our experience of reality. Being able to shift our attention to the things and thoughts that keep us passionate, loving, and motivated is one of the key ways that will keep us in a powerful state of being.

The way we interpret the things happening around us can either empower us or disempower us.

The stories about ourselves that we believe in and repeat in our minds will always determine what actions we will take. Having seen this in his own life, best selling author and online coach AJ Mihrzad attests to the importance of thinking like a fit and successful person before taking fit actions.

In this episode, we learn more about our personal power and the number one way we lose it. When we look at our power, a lot of the time, the feeling or experience of it dissipates when we become wrapped up in our thoughts, especially when they are about worries and doubts.

Drawing from his own experience, Adam cites the steps we can take to master our thoughts when they seek to drag us down.

Each person is different. What might work for one person might not work for the next, and in the pursuit of our higher purpose, it’s important that we capitalize on our strengths. Stepping deeper into his design as a feeling-type person, Adam opens up about what it’s like to tap into his heart and intuition. In his experience, it’s all about getting quiet, listening to the body, and watching out for the reaction of the inner guiding purpose system (GPS).

What do you do when you get "stuck" and feel resistance? For Adam, the starting point to getting past the obstacles that loom up in your day and in your business can be found in your mindset.

In this episode, Adam shares how he builds momentum in his life and breaks through resistance by setting his mindset. When we encounter problems, our minds will often keep our focus on that "problem" which results in feelings of stuckness.

We live in a world full of distractions, but how can we protect our time and keep distractions from getting in the way of our purpose? For this episode, Adam weighs in on why we allow distractions to take our time and mental energy. He also passes on the tricks he uses to stay committed to his work and his projects.

Problems are present in our day to day living and there's not much we can change about having them. What we can change is our attitude towards problems. Consider these questions: How do you view your problem? How do you treat it? Do you wrestle with it? Do you allow it to affect you, your plans, and your future? How we process our problems help set the momentum for our day, our success, our life.

In this episode, Adam takes us through the journey of dissolving problems.

Our values influence our decisions and actions. In the past, freedom was Adam’s number one value and that determined the kind of work he pursued and the clients he chose to work with. Soon, however, he discovered that in order to pursue the work that was most fulfilling to him, he needed to switch up things up.

In this episode, Adam tackles the question of why we need to identify our values and how they impact our lives and businesses.

We all need the energy to get us through our days and to keep us empowered and inspired. For Adam, keeping that energy up starts with paying attention to the needs of your body. With that, he goes through his top tips on sleep, diet, hydration, and exercise.

When we give our bodies the fuel it needs to stay energized, we also need to protect that energy from habits like overthinking and over-empathizing, which not only take our energy away but also take our power along with it.
