Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:14] We're continuing our discussion of overcomplicating things from last week, and today's episode came out on 11/11

[00:40] Last week we talked about how your thoughts create your results, and I reflect on that and how you may have felt since my challenge to consider your thoughts

[01:30] As you start considering your thoughts, you can truly start changing your outcome

[02:10] If your thoughts can influence your results, can you do it for everything?

[03:11] When you look at life from an optimistic approach, you get more positive results

[03:51] Open up your mind to a problem, and it will give you the solution

[04:40] I recommend a book by Dr. Wayne Dyer - "The Power of Intention"

[05:00] I share an example of never getting sick because I don't get sick

[06:29] You gotta keep your thoughts in that positive realm

[06:55] My challenge to you this week is to think about what you really want

[07:23] I'd love to hear from you if things start popping up for you

[07:51] Email me if the things you want come into your life. Tell me about it!

Thoughts become results. Can it really be this simple? Find out in this week's episode!

Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:14] Today, I'm talking about making things overly complicated

[00:45] It comes up so often when I'm coaching people about their thoughts

[01:13] I share a couple of examples of simple training that people make complicated

[02:16] What if "doing" something isn't what counts? What if it's really about your thoughts?

[02:50] I use an example of approaching a neighbor, and how my thoughts about the interaction can sway the outcome

[03:53] The same thing can happen with posting on social media. How we think and feel about what we're posting, can also directly affect the outcome.

[04:34] Feelings don't happen until thought generate them - and I drive this point home with an unexpected example

[05:57] I share another example of a windfall and subsequently getting it taken away

[06:48] When you think things, you feel things, and then you do something as a result

[07:15] My challenge is to simplify things this week and realize it all starts with your thoughts

Short episode summary

If the news has you triggered and afraid of feast, famine, and civil war, you're not alone. In this episode, I share why, now more than ever, it's critical you work on your own self-worth, and get your mindset right.

Timestamps of big takeaways

[00:14] We're going to talk about alleged discord in our country and globally right now

[00:50] Looking back, I can see where things happened in the past, and I was blissfully unaware

[01:16] A lot of the news is fear-mongering and clickbait - anger fuels clicks and media sales

[01:50] I'm becoming acutely aware of how marketing affects us - but we can choose to feel and think differently than the media and our surroundings are pushing us to feel and think

[02:09] How we look at our life, and how we perceive our world, can come back to something as simple as our own self worth

[02:25] What's going on can impact your work and home life - if you let it

[03:01] Often how we perceive the news is a direct result of things happening in our own lives

[04:10] Lately, I've been asking myself "what if" questions about the news to see how it makes me feel - to get to the root of my own outlook and beliefs

[05:09] Take pause and really consider some what-ifs, and see what comes up for you

[06:08] Doing this exercise lets you take back some control rather than allowing yourself to be overrun and triggered by clickbait - you can decide where you stand regardless

[06:39] I share a news thing with Ben and Jerry and what happened on television regarding international politics

[07:58] I challenge you to get out of your circle of friends and family, and sit with your own thoughts, and figure out how you think and feel. And, consider why.
