The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast

With the election in the U.S. coming up, I figured it would be a great time to talk about kindness, about hearing and listening to others, and celebrating our experiences together instead of fighting each other on our ideas of right or wrong.

How well do we listen to others? I know many times I didn't listen to another word someone else was speaking just waiting my turn to say something, waiting my turn to say my zinger, waiting my turn to prove how smart I was.

I always liked this quote-"when you speak you are only repeating what you already know, but when you listen you are learning something new."

So be challenged with me and listen to this week's podcast on how to listen with more intent, with more understanding, with more compassion.

When you become a Patreon supporter you will get extra bonuses on how to integrate the life goals I am discussing each week into your life. In this week's extra bonus for supporters, I talk about avoiding the "war" by having a gameplan. (link below on how to join)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can either be controlled by your anger, or you can rise to a level of understanding.

In this podcast, I talk about ways of seeing things from another level to be more in control of yourself, so you can be more in control of the places you wish to be mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually.

We can spend most of our lives being directed by our emotions instead of being led to the places we want to frequent by being aware and more emotionally intelligent.

It's not that the wise person can't get angry...it's that they won't because they see beyond what is--to direct themselves to where they ultimately want to be.

I bring up a great analogy in helping you to do this. Come and join me.

As entrepreneurs (hell, anyone really), it's easy to get lost in the mix of trying to find that one thing that will save us.

What are the werewolves 🐺 in your life?

It's not even Halloween yet, but I am prepping you for all those scary things that can go bump in your mind. 😨😨😨

In this podcast, I teach you one principle to end your silver bullet mentality so you can begin making progress instead of constantly feeling stuck in your business, in your life, and in the things that have held you back before.

Have you ever thought about your Monday routine, and realized that how you live that one day was setting up how you live your life?

Imagine waking up on Monday morning so refreshed and excited that you don't need to have a cup of coffee to help you make it to 10 a.m. What would you accomplish with that level of energy?

Communication is one of the largest determinates of how we function in the world. And in our minds, we create a map, which determines the type of world we live in. So if we create a faulty map based on negative filters or improper truths, then we create a pathway for our lives to continuously be steered down ways that keep us away from the goals or places we wish to be.

This part 3 of 3 for the Neuro Linguistic Communication Model and in this episode we will be talking about Deletions in our language.

So if you haven't listened to 668 and 669, go back and listen to them to get the full picture of Generalizations, Distortions, and then Deletions in this episode.

Your subconscious doesn't know the difference between fact or fiction and in this episode, I talk about something in our brains called the reticular activating system that guides us towards where our attention is focused.

So join me, and let me help you create ways to craft a better internal map that guides your life.

If you are getting something out of the podcast, share a favorite episode with someone who you think might benefit from it.

This week's podcast is a continuation of 668 and the NLP model of communication.

I talk about how we distort the information we receive and how to solve the issues when we create faulty distortions.

Not all distortions are bad either, and I talk about one healthy one I utilize that helps me in my life.

The map is not the territory, meaning what happens outside of our mind is not the way we process it. And so the programs we have created within ourselves need to be maintained and checked from time to time by asking is this conclusion helping or hindering me?

What's the biggest reason you feel stuck? Whether it be romantic, business, personal, or such...there is one thing that is helping or hindering your growth...and that one thing is your internal programs.

Miscommunication, biases, fear, and internal programming is controlling your thinking.

Everything that we process has to go through some sort of internal program we have created over time. Some programs are good, and some are limiting beliefs and fears.

In this podcast, I talk about the Neuro Linguistic Model of Communication and the filters that develop our mindset. I specifically go over the process of how we generalize the information that comes in which can help or harm us.

I talk about a specific picture in the podcast and this is it: This is a black and white photo. Give your mind a minute to unscramble that reality bomb and then go back and relook at the photo more closely.

Do you see the colored gridlines? Your mind is filling in the blanks.

And this is what I talk about in how we generalize things from our internal programming that will dictate how we think.

So join me today as I talk about communication and how we create programs that either help us or harm us. Let's become aware of our programming and begin changing it together.

In today's episode, I talk about approval and how it can harm us, or how it harmed me. My goalpost in life was through praise.

If I did enough, if I made sure everyone else was taken care of, or if I upset someone I would then do whatever it took to make them happy. Even if it was at my expense and I didn't do anything wrong.

Are you trying too hard to make everyone else happy, to make everyone else ok with who you are or what you do, are you giving all of yourself away and stepping away from who you are at your core so you won't upset anyone and tip the apple cart?

Then this podcast is for you.

It is a reminder of what really matters and how to go towards doing the work that's important to you, no matter what anyone else says or thinks about it...because if it's important to you...then it has to be done.

Then you have to do it...no matter what the price is.

Creating the life we want, reaching the goals we desire, and becoming the people we want to be happens when we decide to confidently be ourselves.

Confidence seems to be the magic answer, that once we have confidence we can be more of what we feel we are not. But in this podcast, I explore that idea and bring to light that you may already have more confidence than you previously thought.

I talk about the 3 C's that help us tap into our inherent confidence. Join me in today's podcast to learn how to tap into your own power, how to be able to change in an instant and remember who you always have been.

What if you could reprogram yourself for certain success?

What would it feel like to have certainty and peace in your life? What do you most wish for, and what if you knew that it was already in your possession before you achieved it?

While affirmations are great to utilize, they alone aren't enough, and I would love to help you use all your tools and power to create the change you are capable of.

I have a few spots open for my success and mindset mastery 1 on 1 coaching.

Let me show you how to use all of you, instead of only using the small sliver of your potential.

And as I answer that question and get ideas from a client, I also talk about the reason why we have trouble changing from who we were to who we want to be.

I had a light bulb a-ha moment during this podcast, and I would love to help you have your own light bulb a-ha moment in creating more effective changes in your life. So join us, and let's talk about how to better define our moments rather than be defined by them.

My good friend invented a really cool product during this pandemic to help out.

It's an attachment that goes on most standard faucets and blinks to help remind you how long to clean your hands (20 seconds). Visual cues help change habits. And I have a special code to get 20%.

Go to www.sinkblink20.com and when you put in your order put in the promo code: strong20

Oh and if you know any decision-makers in schools, medical facilities, businesses, or anyone who would get great use out of this...then get in touch with me and I'll get you in touch with the inventor himself to get you what you need, or send them to the site to use the code.

Today's podcast is a replay that I did either in late 2017 or earlier 2018. It was with a conversation I had with a friend of mine who gave his son a job to do in earning his weekly allowance. His son asked what does it entail, and my friend said to his son...it requires being useful.

And so I bring up the question of how are you being useful in your life, to others, and to the world.

So join me, and let's find ways to be more awake and useful in the manner that we truly wish to be.
