557: Rationalize or Rational Lies?

557: Rationalize or Rational Lies?

Do you rationalize choices that hold you back?

Is it possible that you’re actually telling rational lies?

Just because it’s your answer doesn’t mean it’s the truth.

In today’s episode, we’re looking at rational lies, times when we rationalize and how to break the patterns that keep us from living the lives we want.

547: 10 Ideas Worth Spreading

547: 10 Ideas Worth Spreading

We are so quick to spread ideas that are negative. We’re quick to share about the problems in our lives or the things that upset us, and while I think being open is valuable, I also think it’s high time to start spreading some ideas that make us better – that make us happier and healthier while improving all the relationships in our lives (especially the relationships we have with ourselves). How’s that for a big ‘ol run-on sentence?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 10 powerful thoughts I strongly believe are ideas worth spreading and I hope we’ll do just that! I hope we’ll practice them, we’ll embrace them and we’ll share them with people we love by way of our own example.

Do you have an idea you believe is worth spreading? Share it with me by tagging me on Instagram with a picture of this episode playing on your device and tell me what idea you believe is worth spreading!

Here’s to creating change, one moment at a time, by embracing these 10 ideas worth spreading!

526: If I Could Change Your Mind About 3 Things…

526: If I Could Change Your Mind About 3 Things…

If I could wave my magic wand and change your mind in some way, here are the three things I would immediately change…

Before I tell you what they are, let me tell you how this came about. I have a personal coaching practice that helps me help my clients. I routinely ask myself, “What are my clients teaching me? If I could wave my magic wand and give them a skill or perspective that would make their lives easier, what would I give them?

This keeps me from getting frustrated and helps me focus on what they need and how I’ll give it to them.

The other day, in between workouts, my inbox was blowing up with emails from new clients. Since a new 12 Weeks to Transformation recently started, there are a lot of questions, a lot of eagerness and even a lot of desperation. Instead of getting frustrated, I asked myself one of those questions:

If I could wave my magic wand and give these clients something that would help them create change in their lives, what would I give them?

Today’s podcast is my answer to that question!

472: Change Your Mind

If you want to change your body, you have to change your mind. Your thoughts and perspectives drive your choices & too many people are trying to white-knuckle improved choices without making the adjustment that truly drives change: changing your mind. In today’s episode we’re talking about making a shift away from a serious detractor from success: searching for solutions outside yourself. It’s a distraction and your journey becomes about everything and everyone other than YOU.

464: The Most Important Thing

464: The Most Important Thing

The other day I listened to Dan Heath share a story about college professors. It really moved me & inspired this episode. Here’s a quick summary of the story he told.

A group of college professors were asked what one or two things they’d want their students to remember 10 years later. Of all the things they’d teach, what was most important that they carry with them, understand or know how to do years into the future?

The professors all shared their answers.

Then, they were asked what percentage of their syllabus was dedicated to teaching that thing.

Very little, it turned out. Not nearly enough.

I thought about that question. If there was ONE SINGLE THING I could impress upon you guys with my podcast, one single skill, habit or mindset that I could guarantee you mastered and carried with you, what would it be?

Today, I’m sharing that thing with you.

I’m also promising to talk about & teach this thing much more regularly.

Enjoy the episode! If you have questions or there are parts of it you want me to go more deeply into, make sure to leave a comment!
