We all make New Year's resolutions that we don't often keep. The reason is that we are sabotaging ourselves based on internal conscious motivators that work against our transformation to change. In this episode, Regina shares the problem with change and gives practical tips you can use to help you identify and achieve the change you want.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• We blame change on lack of motivation or discipline
• We all want to transform but we don't really want to change
• Two factors that prevent change
• It's easier to return back to what we're comfortable with
• We are unaware of the internal conscious motivators that are working against the transformation to change
• Regina shares her change transformation when it came to running a 5K
• PRACTICAL TIPS:
• You have to identify the change you are going after; ask why is this transformation important to you
• Ask yourself "What am I doing or NOT doing that works against my change goals?"
• Play a WHAT IF game: As "What would happen if you did or didn't do those behaviors?"
• GENIUS TIP: Be sure the change goal you set is within your control

When somebody asks, "Hey how are you?" or "How was your week?" what is your reaction? Is it true and authentic? Many times we mask our authenticity and create a fake persona in response to these types of questions. We are afraid to let people see and hear the real us. In this episode Regina shares how getting away and really reflecting can help you to "Know Thyself" so you can become authentic and live out of your Genius.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

• When you live based upon a cultivated persona, denial of your true self becomes the norm
• We are NOT static creatures. We are constantly growing and evolving
• It's important to take time with yourself, regularly, to get to know YOU (again).
• One practical way: take a few days "away" with just you every few months. During that time, try to unpack your past season...get honest about how you're feeling and thinking, and where you'd like your Genius life to go.
• GENIUS TIP: Make sure you do not go away for rest and reflection without a plan. Ask yourself: a. What do I want to explore? b. What do I want to think about? c. How will I have fun?
• During your time away, remain present with yourself
