You CAN Change Your Life

In today’s episode I’m talking about making mistakes and being wrong...and I'm sharing a cringeworthy but hilarious story about a mistake I made.

In a previous episode, I talked about failure. In other words, those times when you’ve tried to do something and failed, you’ve taken on a challenge or started a project and not gotten where you wanted to go. In that episode, the focus was on being able to learn from your failures, make the adjustments you need to make, and keep going – even using failure as a springboard.

What I’m talking about today seems like a smaller issue but can actually be a bigger issue. Let me explain. Today, I’m focusing on just being wrong about something or making a mistake in everyday life. So on the surface, it seems like a smaller thing than trying something new and failing. 

But having a problem with being wrong is a bigger issue when it keeps you from putting yourself in a position to fail at something that’s important to you. In other words, if we want to get ok with trying things that are important to us and possibly failing, we first have to be ok with being wrong in everyday life.

So today I want to talk about accepting our mistakes, getting ok with being wrong, and being able to laugh at ourselves when we screw up and not letting mistakes negatively impact our self-confidence.

Because making mistakes is part of life.  Listen to this episode to hear about just a few of the times I’ve screwed up and to learn why we should all take ourselves less seriously.

Today, I’m talking about something that we’ve all experienced at one time or another…the feeling that you just want to give up.
 
You know the feeling I’m talking about. The one that makes you want to throw up your hands and say, “Fine. I give up. I’m done. I’ve had enough.” The one that makes you feel like you want to stop going for whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish.

Whether it's a project that seems to present a new obstacle every day or the total of all of the things you're trying to do with your life, sometimes everything seems to be moving in the wrong direction, and when that happens, most of us reach a point where we just want to give up.

But giving up isn't the answer. Instead of giving up, what we need to do is rest.  In addition to physical rest, we also need mental and emotional rest. How do we get those things? I'll tell you a few things that work for me in this episode. Give the episode a listen, and see how you might use these techniques to get the rest you need too.

Today, I'm giving you three tactics you can use to jumpstart yourself into taking action toward your goals even when you don’t feel like it. 

I’ve talked about motivation before, but today I’m going to share a few of the tactics that you can use when your motivation is nowhere to be found. In my training program which I’ll be launching soon, I cover many more of these tactics and tools, so keep your eyes and ears open for my announcement on enrollment dates. 

Even if your why is rock solid, and even if your motivation is intrinsic, you’ll still find that there are times when even though you know what you should do, you just don’t feel like doing it.

And you know what you can't count on to get you moving when you just don't feel like it? Willpower. Willpower alone will never be enough. But there are scientifically proven tactics and tools that you can use to get yourself moving even when you don't feel like it. Listen to today's episode to learn 3 of those tactics now.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about overthinking and how you can stop doing it and start taking action instead.

Recently, I made a big change in my life – moving, and while moving is already a big project, throw in a pandemic and things get even harrier. 

There was so much to do, and while I was sure that the time I’d allowed was sufficient, every time I thought about everything I had to do, I felt paralyzed. I’d think and think and think some more about everything I needed to do, and every day, I was getting more and more stressed. 

But you know what I wasn’t getting? I wasn’t getting anything done. For all of the thinking and stressing I was doing, I wasn’t accomplishing anything. I was like a hamster in a wheel, running, running, running, but going nowhere fast.

To find out how I got out of the hamster wheel (and how you can too), listen to this episode now.

In today’s episode, I’m going to talk about another myth that’s keeping you stuck.

You’ve probably heard me talk about the number 1 myth that’s keeping you from making the change you want to make – the belief that all you need to change is enough willpower. That is, by far, the biggest mistake people make when they try to change – trying to will their way past temptation and obstacles instead of learning and using the scientifically proven tactics and tools of change. 

But that’s not the only myth that keeps people stuck. Another big one is the belief that we know what we’re doing and not doing. Let me explain.

See we think we know ourselves so well. But when it comes to making change, what we’re really experts at is pulling the wool over our own eyes. If we want to change, we’ve gotta find out how we’re getting in our own way…and figure out how to get out of our way.

What do I mean when I say that?  Listen to this episode to find out!

In today’s episode, I’m talking about motivation.  

First, I'll explain the difference between motivation and willpower. They’re not the same, though they’re often confused.

Next, I'll talk about the different kinds of motivators - intrinsic, or motivation that comes from inside you and extrinsic, or motivation that comes from outside you. And I'll give you an easy way to tell the difference.

Finally, I'll talk about the most important part of your "why" or reason for making a change. Making sure that you've got the most important part of your "why" right is really the first step in making any change.

Give this episode a listen to learn all about motivation.

One of my favorite quotes about change comes from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, and it goes like this:  “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.”

To me, there’s so much power in that statement! So much power in the idea that with every action I take, I’m deciding who I want to be. 

I really see two lessons in this statement. One is that my every action determines who I am, and the other is that how I see myself matters. 

So today I want to look at these two identity-related ideas more closely. We’ll start by focusing on the concept of our identity and why it matters.  Listen now!

In today’s episode, we’re going to take a look deep inside ourselves at our subconscious mind and talk about the role it plays in our decision-making. 

We all have wants, desires, and impulses that come from us and that are constantly influencing our behavior – if we let them. We want something sweet to eat, and if we let that desire influence us, we go get some ice cream or a candy bar or some gummy bears. 

But when we want to make changes in our lives, we have to be able to control our reactions to those wants, desires, and impulses instead of letting ourselves be controlled by them. We have to be able to positively influence ourselves and overcome temptations. 

To complicate things further, we have to add to those wants, desires, and impulses our extremely active subconscious mind.

Today we'll talk about how your subconscious can get in the way of your making change and what you can do about it.

In today’s episode, I'm talking about something that often comes up when we dare. When we dare to step outside our comfort zone. When we dare to make a change in our lives. When we dare to start creating the life we dream of living.

I’m talking about the four little words that can strike such fear in our hearts that we chicken out of our daring plans. What 4 words?

These 4 words: What will they think? 

What will they think of me if I do this? What will they say about me? Will they laugh at me? Will they think I’m delusional? Will they wonder who I think I am?

We've all been there, and today I’m going to give you five reasons that what other people think or say shouldn’t matter and five ways you can stop worrying about it.

Do you know how we make decisions? You may be surprised. 

I decided on today’s topic after working on the series we just wrapped up on creating a change mindset. (Episodes 11 - 13)

In the last episode of that series, I talk a little about choice and how we often say that we “can’t” do something when what we really mean is that we “don’t want to.” 

That got me thinking about how we make decisions, so I decided to follow the series with an episode on decision-making.

The first thing to know about decision-making is what we don’t do. We don’t make decisions based on logic. Don't believe me? Give this episode a listen to learn what we do instead.
