When Life Swings - Swing Back! Resilience Podcast with Phylecia Kellar (formerly ballin and bipolar)

In this podcast today I’m going to sound a bit aggressive but it’s to HELP you - I promise!

Talking to people struggling with Bipolar and people who have loved ones who struggle! 

I had someone reach out about her mom being in a manic episode and I want to give you my full method to how I’ve been able to contain Bipolar after being hospitalized in 2010.

Meds, psychiatry and therapy are ALL part of the game - but it’s simply not the full solution, if it was - everyone on meds, in therapy and psychiatry would be perfectly happy and it’s just not the case. 

Listen to hear my direct insight on what we MUST be doing - NO DAYS OFF when you’re bipolar and you want to find mental health freedom.

In this podcast today, you're going to hear a bit of my story regarding how I "Collect" Data for my health and financial journey but this podcast is actually about showing up for YOU and what that really looks like.

You do not have to be on a weight loss / health journey, I want you to listen to this podcast, and show up for yourself for 90 days and see what happens.

Track your moves, make a promise to yourself and go do it.

The problem is, we make promises to ourselves, then break those promises, which diminishes our self -confidence.

What if you did focus on your vision, find the weak spots and lean in?

What could you do if your SELF knew you'd keep your promise?

"Look at how far we've come so far" was a quote my best friend and I came up with while walking to our houses growing up.

We lived in the country, so walking home was a bit of some distance to 8 year olds, but I love the mindset of that.

That's what we're going to chat about on today's pod.

We're a bit over halfway through the year so I want you to ask yourself - How far have I come?

What have you been through that you can be proud to be here today?

We're going to dive into 3 things you can do to measure "how far YOU'VE come"

In this podcast today we're focused on a quote I heard Tony Robbins say - I don't think 'HE' came up with this, but I heard him say it.

People who focus too much on the past are most likely more depressed than others.

Those of us who focus too much on the future, are most likely suffering with more anxiety than others.

Those who focus on the present, are most likely more at peace than others.

Then we're going to have a little chatty on breaking through depression and anxiety with the right kind of distractions, vs doing things with negative influence.

Distraction CAN be a good thing, but you can also choose the wrong distraction!

In this podcast today we're going to dive into this simple quote:

What you focus on - you create more of.....

That's so powerful and so simple. 

If you focus on the negativity, we're going to find more of it, and vice versa.

I have someone in my life who has a beautiful life, from my vantage point he's living THE Life. But he chooses to focus on negativity, he chooses to find things to be upset about.

How do we pull ourselves out of that?

While we can understand what goes on in the world, we can focus only inward.

Who can YOU show up as everyday? 

How can YOU find the beauty in your day?

In this podcast today we're going to focus on something SUPER simple - how can we be more productive with the 5 to 10 minutes we have through out our days?

ya'll - I LOVE and LIVE for being lazy, but I want to make damn sure I deserve it!

I want you to ask this question all the time - "How can I do myself a favor, later?"

This came up as my friend Darian said to me - "Phylecia, if it takes less than 5 minutes, just get in done then instead of waiting for things to pile on..." How profound and simple!! 

If we are able to live in a more organized fashion, if we can be more productive in the time we do have, we can buy ourselves laziness and time freedom later!

What's the ripple effect of being clean and organized? We feel more at peace with the spaces we're in, which by all means won't just super charge your life, but at the very least it can't hurt... right?

In this podcast today we're going to be SUPER honest with ourselves.

First, we're going to ask the question - how much effort am I REALLY and honestly putting in? 50%? What if you put in 100%?

Then if you feel as though you really are putting in 100% effort, but not seeing the results, our questions change. 

Is it time to ADD in or TAKE AWAY something?

Is it time to change strategy?

Am I truly doing what is required and that will work for you and your body/mind/etc?

The effort question is tough, because at the end of the day it is SO simple. 

Famous quote of the day - Be what most people aren't and that's consistent!

In this podcast today we're going to dive into Tony Robbins' quote - (paraphrasing) "People will overestimate what they can do in a year, but they will underestimate what they can do in a decade.

Lasting change doesn't happen overnight ya'll.

Transforming anything in your life, is a marathon, not a sprint or a quick fix.

Quick don't stick and fast don't last - remember that!

In this podcast today we're going to discuss not feeling good enough.

This can be a deep seeded issue from childhood, it can be how we feel as an adult from feeling excluded, left out (ETC)

I want to focus on 3 things you can stop and do any time you're not feeling good enough. 

1. WHO - ask yourself who is making you feel like this. Is it you? Is it someone else? IF it's someone else, WHO is that? Is it someone significant that you need to have a real conversation with to resolve this? 

OR is it someone who if you were honest with yourself... doesn't really matter.

If you don't owe them anything, and they don't owe you anything... why are they making YOU feel bad? That could solve it right there.

Are we setting expectations on people and being disappointed?

The subcategory here is knowing IF it is someone significant - we need to have a next step in place to resolve it.

If it's someone who "doesn't matter" in the big scheme of things, we can sort of move on right there with that.

2. LET THEM - the let them theory, control only what you can (Mel Robbins reference)

3. LET YOU - focus inward, what are your goals, who are YOUR people or go find them, hobbies, Have a GROWTH mindset

In this podcast today we're going to dive into the differences in human behavior for people who have a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset.

The bottom line:

People who have a fixed mindset get jealous of other's success, they don't take feedback well and don't believe in EFFORT to get better.

People in a growth mindset LOVE other's success, they LIVE to learn, they love challenges, they believe in EFFORT and love good feedback!

BE the latter guy!
