October 08, 2022 83. A New Way to Practice Gratitude
Send Jay comments via text
Traditionally, the fall tends to be a time for us to express the things we are grateful for in our lives especially as Thanksgiving arrives. My question to you is…is once a year enough to express the things we are grateful for in our lives?
Practicing gratitude regularly is the key to a more fulfilling life and a daily gratitude practice is one way to open the door to living a life filled with thankfulness for all you have in your life.

Imagine if being grateful for what you do have actually opens a door to having more in your life. Crazy right?

In this episode, I share a new way to practice gratitude that will evoke emotion and get you feeling incredibly thankful for all that you have in your life.

Get after it my friends and we’ll see you next week!

September 24, 2022 82. Doubt is Not an Obstacle
Send Jay comments via text
Who’s doubting themselves these days? Are you saying me, me, me, me?

Doubt pops when you begin to wonder if you are in the right relationship, picked the right career, doing a good job as a parent, or asking yourself if you should leave that organization you’ve been with forever.

Doubt has a funny way of creeping into your life at the exact moment you don’t want it to because that it’s job. Doubt wants you to check yourself. Doubt wants to keep you safe. And doubt is really good at reminding you of all the other times you wanted to question things in your life and make a change because doubt is the way your brain keeps you safe and doing the comfortable things in your life.

In this episode, I teach you that doubt isn't a obstacle, how you can recognize it quickly, and then leverage it to empower yourself to get what what you want.

Perfectionism is just procrastination all dressed up. You know, a nice suit, tie, and polished shoes or an evening gown with pearls – clothes that you don’t necessarily wear but when you have to get into them it just doesn’t feel right?

Send Jay comments via text
What’s the difference between a good day and a bad day?

When you saw the episode title what went through your mind? Were you thinking about all of the things that make a day great? Time with friends. A good meal. Maybe a trip or vacation? Was it no stress? Maybe the kids were good.

You may have had some thoughts about what makes a day a day bad. There was that jerk at work. You got cut off in traffic when you were already running late. Maybe it was because your lunch order got screwed up or you had a fight with your best friend. Or perhaps the kids just weren’t listening to you that day.

Wherever your mind went did it evoke thoughts of a past event? What about the feelings you had about it?

In this episode, I dive into the difference between a good day and a bad day and offer you some insights into how you might turn any day around.
