We’ve talked A LOT about inner freedom over the past couple of years, and specifically how you can gain the freedom to choose how you feel and how you experience every moment of your life—regardless of your circumstances.

Choosing to maintain a state of authentic GRATITUDE can be one of the most beneficial states of consciousness we can choose—especially when we’re enduring difficult times—and yet that’s also when maintaining that state is most challenging. Enter today’s guest.

Few people know this better than Louie Schwartzberg. Louie grew up with parents who were Holocaust survivors, and he learned the power of gratitude from a young age.

Louie is an award-winning cinematographer, director, producer, and visual artist who tells stories that celebrate life. He's also produced three TED talks that have over 60 million combined views. His newest film, Gratitude Revealed, is a beautiful homage to gratitude and how it improves our lives – both as individuals and as a community.

In today’s conversation, we discuss why it's crucial to be grateful when times are tough and how to do it, why suffering leads to growth, and Louie’s strategies for practicing gratitude in every moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How Louie learned gratitude from his Holocaust survivor parents and how that inspired him to tell stories about adversity and gratitude through photography and filmmaking.
  • The importance of being grateful not just when things are great but also when things feel terrible.
  • Stop taking everything for granted. You can be grateful even for the small, mundane things that happen to you daily.
  • Gratitude is a muscle, and it will get stronger with practice.
  • Why being kind is always better than being right.
  • How to sprinkle gratefulness throughout your daily existence to break the pattern of negative thinking and rumination.

If you had a chance to learn how to set major goals from the man who sent clients to the wreck of the Titanic, arranged for people to get married by the Pope in the Vatican, and set up a private dinner at the feet of Michelangelo’s David (statue) while being serenaded by Andrea Bocelli, would you seize it?

You are about to get that opportunity! My guest today, Steve Sims, has done things that seem like they’ve been ripped out of a Hollywood movie script. Forbes and Entrepreneur magazine have even called him “The Real Wizard of Oz.” 

Steve is an example that you don’t need to be afraid to dream big and that nothing is impossible. Fear of failure is a self-fulfilling prophecy, and you need to eradicate those thoughts from your mind to achieve your most cherished goals.

In today’s conversation, we discussed the importance of thinking big, taking massive action and why you should embrace failure to get to success.

We also discuss Steve’s latest book Go For Stupid: The Art of Achieving Ridiculous Goals and his strategy for developing an unbeatable mindset that will make it possible to turn your dreams into a reality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The strategy that helped Steve go from being a nightclub doorman to doing business with Elon Musk, Sir Elton John, Sir Richard Branson, and many more.
  • Why most people are scared to chase their deepest passions and Steve’s method for overcoming that problem.
  • How to forget the word “impossible” and go after ridiculous, stupid goals!
  • If you act boldly, chances are you’ll fail. But you have to get comfortable with failure to reach success.
  • How Steve helps prison inmates turn illegal hustles into productive businesses.

In today’s fast-paced world, I think it’s safe to say that most of us feel like there's not enough time in the day to get everything done that we need to get done—let alone find time for the things we want to be doing.

What if I told you that, with just a few tweaks to your current schedule, you could be more productive and experience greater fulfillment than ever before?

Today’s guest has helped millions realize that taking control of your time is not only doable, it’s simple. Laura Vanderkam is one of the world’s leading experts on time management and the author of seven (7) time management and productivity books, including her newest book, Tranquility by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. Her incredible TED talk on time management has over 20 million views and her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and Fortune.

Today, we’ll dig into the most common reasons why people struggle with time management and the nine (9) strategies that will help you take control of your time and build the life you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why life hacks that “save you time” are a lost cause, and why filling up your schedule with things that light up your soul is a better alternative.
  • The number one reason most people struggle with time management.
  • Laura’s nine (9) habits for mastering time management.
  • Why Friday is the perfect day for planning your upcoming week.

Are you a fan of stand-up comedy? What I love about today’s guest is that he uses his comedy to bring people together, rather than divide them.

You’ll also hear the inspiring story of how he persisted to make his dream of being a stand-up comedian come true, which shows us all how we can do the same to achieve our dreams.

Brent Pella is a successful stand-up comedian and a cast member on Nick Cannon’s VH1 show Wild N’ Out. Brent’s comedy sketches, parody videos, and celebrity impressions have more than 200 million views online.

In this episode, we discuss how he made a name for himself by never giving up on his dreams, the mindset that will make you better at any craft, and the relationship between comedy and spirituality.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The advice that Andy Samberg gave Brent that made him a better comedian.
  • How being persistent in his goals got Brent from working in Cheesecake Factory to being a part of Hollywood music video sets and VH1 shows.
  • The creative process that allows Brent to consistently produce content loved by millions worldwide.
  • How an Eminem parody video led to a call from Nick Cannon and a role on his Wild N’ Out show.
  • Why anyone (not just comedians) should be OK with sucking at their craft in the beginning.

A couple of weeks ago, I shared one of the most impactful interviews I’ve ever done, as a guest on Cathy Heller’s podcast, Don't Keep Your Day Job. The response from our community was so overwhelmingly positive, that I invited Cathy to be a guest on my podcast. If you've yet to hear that episode, titled “A Fresh Perspective on The Miracle Morning,” you can listen to it here.

In today’s episode, Cathy and I have a fun, enlightening discussion about a variety of topics that affects all of us at some point.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The biggest thing that holds people back from taking steps toward the life they desire.
  • Actionable steps to rewire your brain and progress towards something that scares you.
  • The most important ingredients to transcending imposter syndrome so you can live a life you love.
  • Why being caring, authentic, and vulnerable is much more important than trying to impress people.

Do you love what you do for a living? Or do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled and wishing you were doing something else? A global poll conducted by Gallup sheds a disturbing light on this topic:

“With only 21% of employees engaged at work and 33% of employees thriving in their overall wellbeing, most would say that they don't find their work meaningful, don't think their lives are going well or don't feel hopeful about their future.

According to that same report, stress among workers is also at an all-time high. Surprisingly, people are feeling even more stressed than they did in 2020! So, why do so many people stick with jobs that they hate? And what can someone do if they want to get paid to do something that they love?

To help answer these questions, I’m talking with my good friends Tim Rhode and Pat Hiban. Their new book is called The Quitters Manifesto: Quit a Job You Hate for the Work You Love. In it, they explore why so many people feel trapped in their jobs but don’t know how to escape. The book will help you craft a game plan to survive uncertainty, create new opportunities, and make meaningful change. (If you’d like to get a copy, click here and use the code “ELROD” at checkout for 10% off.)

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why Tim and Pat quit jobs that didn’t serve them—and what happened next.
  • How to determine when it’s time to quit your job, and how to manage any fear and uncertainty you feel.
  • Why your worst-case scenario is never a downgrade from where you are right now.
  • How to build a “quit team'' to help you navigate career transitions gracefully.
  • Ways you can internalize your plan to quit into your daily practice—including your Miracle Morning.

Today's episode format is very different, in that this is an interview that I just did on the top-rated Don’t Keep Your Day Job podcast, where Cathy Heller interviewed me. Cathy has interviewed major names such as Tony Robbins, Alicia Silverstone, Andy Grammer, Mel Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, and Matthew McConaughey, to name a few.

This was one of the best interviews I've ever done and quite different from how I normally talk about The Miracle Morning, so I want to share it with you!

Here's a comment from someone who already had a chance to listen to this interview:

Diana Kates - Wow!!! Thank you for sharing. This was one of the most impactful interviews that I have ever witnessed. 🙏🏼

In our conversation, I’ll dive deep into how to make meditation, visualization, and affirmations a meaningful part of your daily practice, and how we can all work together to transform the world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How I transformed my life by getting over my fears and giving Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, a copy of The Miracle Morning
  • What the art of visualization is–and isn’t–and why it’s so different from something like The Secret.
  • Why affirmations are the most misunderstood, underutilized, and effective form of personal development.
  • How the 5-Minute Rule helped me to accept, experience inner peace, and ultimately recover after major traumas in my life, and how you can do the same.
  • And much more!

Are you intentionally eating in a way that optimizes your energy and increases your chance of living a long, healthy life?

Optimizing my diet for energy and longevity has been a huge passion of mine for over 20 years now. And yet, I was diagnosed with cancer. So, what did I learn from what I did right and what I could have done better?

And if you don’t think you have time to cook and eat a healthy diet, or that eating organic foods is too expensive, that’s totally understandable. But I want to give you the opportunity to learn how some simple dietary changes can make a huge difference in your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why it’s probably cheaper to eat organic than you think.
  • What makes it so hard to manage our energy levels over the course of a day.
  • Why so many doctors don’t take nutrition seriously–and how this can lead to serious health consequences.
  • How people have used their nutrition as part of a plan to reverse diabetes, bring cancer into remission, and maintain better overall health.

Procrastination is something we all struggle with, and it prevents us from achieving our goals and dreams. If you’re a human being, I know you can relate! We all put off things we know we need to do, no matter how important they are.

In today’s episode, I want to talk to you about four (4) of the primary reasons we procrastinate and propose four (4) solutions to these common challenges we all face. You’ll learn how to identify patterns that don’t serve you, get rid of the obstacles in your way, and find the energy to generate unstoppable momentum.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why procrastination is a perpetual mindset that can entrap us for days, months, or years.
  • Why fear, lack of clarity, and lack of energy drive us to procrastinate.
  • Why we almost always want to do what’s easy—and how procrastination can lead you into a perpetual cycle of self-defeat.
  • How to understand and make sense of your fears, get clarity over your mission, get energized, and reorient your life around your goals.
  • Why nothing can stop you but you–and why you CAN become unstoppable.

How consistent are you when it comes to doing what you need to do to achieve your goals? Be honest with yourself! 

If you feel like you’re not as consistent as you want or need to be, that’s okay. Consistency is something even high achievers struggle to maintain, and there’s nothing wrong with needing help in this area. 

In today’s episode, inspired by a survey I sent to the Miracle Morning community, I want to talk to you about what you can do to set yourself up for success and improve your follow-through. 

You’ll learn four time-tested and proven techniques you can apply to any goal, how to hold yourself accountable, and what you can do right now to transform your life and bring about meaningful change. 

During today’s conversation, we dive into how to implement the following four (4) Steps to Improve Your Consistency: 

  • Step 1: Identify your goal. Determine what you’re working towards and clarify whether the activities are more important than the outcomes.
  • Step 2: Identify your bad habits. Cut out the ones that are detrimental to your goals and consider trying a 30-day challenge in 10-day phases to break your addictions.
  • Step 3: Identify beneficial habits you need to integrate into your life. Get clear on the WHY that drives your behavioral change.
  • Step 4: Establish a system to ensure you follow through. Choose between five different options and levels of accountability.

If you want to change your life, you must change what you focus on. An affirmation is simply intentionally designed language for the purpose of directing your focus toward something you aspire to change or embody in your life.

In today’s episode, I’m going to share my latest affirmations with you. If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know that I truly believe affirmations—when done correctly—have the power to transform our lives. Whether your goals are to achieve financial abundance, overcome fear, be happy, maximize your impact in this world, or something else entirely, affirmations can help you make your dreams a reality.

So, I’m really excited to share my newest affirmations for 2022-2023 and my 3-step approach to help you create yours. And if you want to download a PDF of my affirmations (to model for your own), just visit MiracleMorning.com/442 and you’ll find them in the show notes.

Also, if you have any questions for me after listening to the episode, I’d love to hear from you and help in any way that I can. Just leave a comment underneath the show notes, and I’ll respond ASAP.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why so many people struggle with affirmations.
  • My multi-step process for creating affirmations.
  • My affirmations, exactly as I have written them.
  • Why there’s no wrong or right way to create an affirmation.

If you've been paying attention to the news lately, you know that the cost of pretty much everything is on the rise. Food, housing, gas, utilities, and other goods rose by 9.1% over the past 12 months—a 40-year high!

Most people can barely sustain the life that they have, let alone make enough money to live the life of their dreams.

And while it's natural to feel scared during these times, I want to ease your mind and help you prepare for whatever the future may hold.

Today's episode is all about money. I want to teach you how to make more of it, not only to keep up with rising inflation, but so you can create freedom and start living life on your terms. 

Whether you're struggling to keep up and need to earn more OR want to protect yourself if things go sideways, this episode highlights many helpful strategies for making more money and building multiple income streams!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why wanting to make more money isn’t going to make you more money.
  • How to make more money by changing jobs or careers–or simply asking for a raise.
  • How I lost half my income during the Great Recession in 2008 and grew my business to 6-figures and eventually 7-figures.
  • How I took the leap from a 6-year career to becoming an entrepreneur, found my first clients, and grew my first business on my terms.
  • The benefits of creating multiple sources of income and some ideas on how to get things started.

I recently came across an eye-opening, insightful passage by an unknown author. In it, the writer talked about what purpose really is in a way I had never quite heard before. I shared it across social media and people expressed that it really resonated with them.

So, today I want to share that passage with you. Then, I want to help you explore different ways to look at your purpose in life. You’ll hear insights from thought leaders including Eckhart Tolle and Matthew Kelly, and others.

My conclusion is that we have the ability to choose or create a purpose that makes sense for our life, to change our purpose at any time, and to live in alignment with it at all times.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to define, simplify, and live for your purpose like never before.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why we create—rather than find—our purpose in life.
  • How our search for purpose can lead us in pursuit of love, spirituality, success, contribution and so many other valuable aspirations.
  • Why purpose, values, and guiding principles are all interrelated.
  • Simple things you can do to share your gifts, live in alignment with your purpose, and help others.
  • How to define (and redefine) your purpose.

How does it make you feel when people you know—whether it’s your family, friends, co-workers, or acquaintances on social media—have opposing views on topics that are important to you?

I recently made a post on social media that prompted a lot of critical feedback, and those comments inspired today’s episode.

Having disagreements with coworkers, clients, friends, and especially family members can be frustrating. But how do we interact with those we disagree with? Do we choose to judge, condemn, and perpetuate polarization, or do we choose to respect each other’s opinions, and come from a place of love and understanding.

In the spirit of helping heal humanity, empathizing, loving each other, and better understanding each other, I want to talk to you about three (3) considerations to help you get along with people you disagree with. I also want to respond to some of the feedback I received from that social media post, then discuss what we can do to get along better with everyone—no matter how different they may be.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What it really means when an intelligent person thinks the exact opposite way that you do on a topic.
  • How to keep an open mind, learn what someone else thinks and feels, and grow and evolve with them.
  • How learning someone’s perspective gives you the key to unconditional empathy and love for all people.
  • What happened when I shared a post by an alternative doctor on Facebook–and how my own experience prompted me to share that message with my audience.
  • How to transcend toxic tribalism and ideology and work to become a beacon of peace, empathy, and understanding.

Today’s episode was inspired by a message I received from a listener. They told me that they’d made some bad choices in the past, don’t trust themselves anymore, and asked if I would do an episode on how we can develop our self-confidence, or get it back when we’ve lost it. 

The reality is, even very confident people struggle with self-confidence at times, or in certain areas of their life. So, how do we go about increasing our self-confidence?

With that thought in mind, today’s episode dives into this topic from a number of different angles. You’ll learn what self-confidence is, where it comes from, how to develop and increase it, and how to get it back if you lose it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why self-confidence is not black or white–but it is an attitude and a mindset about your worth and your abilities. 
  • Why everyone is a work in progress–and how sensitivity to criticism, fear of failure, and lack of support can hurt your self-confidence.
  • Why no one’s born with self-confidence–and where it really comes from.
  • How commitment, mental conditioning, progress, and results bolster our self-confidence.
  • How I regained my self-confidence after the techniques I’d used to build my business and achieve success stopped working in 2008.
  • Three steps you can take right now to start developing and increasing your self-confidence.

Sometimes “How’s life?” can be one of the most challenging questions to give a straight answer to. It’s like, Uhh, which part of life are you referring to?

When life is difficult, are you able to stay on track, keep sight of your goals, and keep your priorities in order? Or do all the things that are bringing you down leave you feeling exhausted, stressed out, and discouraged?

It’s easy to feel like what used to work isn’t working anymore, or you don’t have the support you need, and that we’re constantly playing catch-up with a world that won’t stop changing. However, you can still optimize and take control of your own life—and it may just be the push you need to stay on track.

Today, I want to talk to you about how to take action when life feels challenging. You’ll learn some simple ideas to help you tune out the noise, get back to basics, and understand why it’s more important than ever to keep pursuing your goals, no matter what the future holds.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why it’s so important to optimize what you (and only you) can control when life sucks.
  • The difference between willful and automatic thinking.
  • How to get in touch with how you’re currently feeling and maximize the value of your emotions.
  • How fear of the unknown and paralysis by analysis stop us from doing our best work.
  • Why now’s the time to create a vision for your happy, healthy, financially secure future.

If you were to lose half or more of your income in the next few months, what would you do?

I ask you this question because that’s exactly what happened to me during the Great Recession of 2008, and many financial experts are forecasting that the next recession could be right around the corner.

Today, I want to share with you the four (4) things I did in 2008 to turn my financial situation around and literally double my income (in only two months) at the height of the Great Recession, so you can be prepared to do the same.

In today’s podcast, I want to share the story of my financial journey. Then, I want to present four strategies you can use to thrive during a recession, what I’m doing now to prepare for a potential economic downturn, and how you can use these same techniques to thrive no matter what happens!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How a listener’s critical comment inspired me to record today’s episode.
  • My financial journey from painting decks at 9 years old to becoming a full-time entrepreneur.
  • Why it took me many years to establish a meaningful passive income—and the experiences that taught me the value of thinking outside the box.
  • Why my coaching business fell apart in the wake of the Great Recession and led me to the concepts and ideas behind the Miracle Morning.
  • The ONE question I asked in 2008 that I’m asking again now.
  • How optimizing your mindset, learning new strategies, asking for help, and getting creative can help you establish new sources of income, even during a major economic recession.

Earlier this year, we talked about how to prepare yourself “logistically” for the challenges that might be on the horizon, such as the likelihood of a major recession, and supply chain issues that are causing shortages of everything from baby formula to microchips to paper, and most concerning - the coming food shortages that many have been anticipating. 

But no matter how much logistical preparation we do, we can’t be prepared for anything, because we can’t predict the future. 

However, there’s an entire other aspect of preparation that we do have the ability to be prepared for anything, and that is “mental” preparation. 

You’ve probably heard me say this many times over the years, no matter what your circumstances are, you have the ability to control your emotional state. While most people allow the world around them to determine how they feel (which often causes fear, anxiety, and depression)—you can learn how to maintain the optimal emotional state even when facing the most difficult circumstances.

In today’s episode, I’m going to give you three (3) strategies to be mentally prepared for ANYTHING—no matter what the world throws your way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

● How society conditions us to be emotionally reactive and how this holds us back.
● The beauty and power of taking total control of your emotional state.
● What really causes our fear and how to transcend it.
● How to practice choosing your optimal emotional state even when facing daily challenges.
● The magic of focusing your attention on what you can control–and only what you can control.

If you are married and have kids, today’s episode is for you.

In what has become a bit of an annual Father’s Day tradition, I’m excited to welcome my good friend Jon Vroman back to the podcast to explore these topics, although through a lens that applies to anyone who is married and has kids.

Jon is the founder of Front Row Dads, a brotherhood of 300+ men who are actively committed to leveling up as husbands and fathers.

In today’s episode, Jon and I share the tactics and strategies we’ve learned along the way to win with our own families.

You’ll hear about the best lessons Jon has learned after working with hundreds of families, the importance of living by a defined set of family values, and how to avoid becoming reactive when life gets challenging.

I also share what my Dad did when I was younger that has enabled us to have a phenomenal relationship for the past 42 years!

*Front Row Dads Masterclass Announcement*

If you are a dad and find this conversational podcast to be especially valuable, Jon and I will be hosting a Front Row Dads “masterclass” webinar on June 15th (for free), where we go into much greater detail around what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to winning at home. You can sign up to attend by visiting FrontRowDads.com/Hal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The wake up call that Jon shares with every audience he speaks to–and why he walked away from a $10,000/event speaking career to focus on his family.
  • How Jon speaks up both to challenge and advocate for his kids when they need it.
  • Why neither Jon nor I are giving our kids cell phones any time soon–and how to set ground rules and have productive screen time with your kids.
  • Why almost every parent struggles with time management, emotional intelligence, and staying optimistic.
  • Life lessons Jon and I took from our parents–and why I have such an incredible relationship with my dad at the age of 42.

Are there areas of your life that you’d like to have a significant breakthrough in, such your business, your career, your health, your income, an important relationship, a challenge you’re facing, or your overall happiness and emotional well-being?

If you answered “yes” (and I’m assuming you did), do you have a process, a formula, or a system in place that enables you to intentionally and consistently create breakthroughs? If you don’t have a process, or maybe your process just hasn’t gotten you where you want to go, this episode is for you.

Today, I’m bringing you an expert at helping people create those breakthroughs—my good friend, David Nurse. David is a life and optimization coach with the NBA. He’s coached the Brooklyn Nets, delivered keynotes all over the world, and his new book is titled, Breakthrough: A Sure-Fire Guide to Realizing Your Potential, Pushing Through Limitations, and Achieving Things You Didn't Know Were Possible.

In today’s conversation, we discuss how he made a name for himself by breaking a Guinness world record, frameworks and strategies you can use to realize your potential in any area of life, and how to implement them as part of your daily practice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why David always implements a morning routine with his athletes.
  • The importance of being content and appreciating your life, and staying hungry at the same time.
  • The mental cues, tools, and tactics David uses to navigate negativity, envy, and fear.
  • How writing one letter helped David transform his life and helped him become a shooting coach for the Brooklyn Nets after getting cut from a semi-pro team in Spain, moving back in with his parents, and feeling like he’d never make it as a professional basketball player.
  • How living with confidence, cooperation, and purpose sets you up to create breakthroughs–and why consistency is the most critical element to achieving success.

If I were to ask you what your #1 priority in life is, how would you respond? Would the answer be clearly defined, and do your day-to-day actions align with what you say is most important to you?

It seems that far too many of us don't really think about this, as we’re focused on just getting through another day. Or, there's a massive disconnect between what we say and what we do.

And BTW, I've definitely fallen into that trap myself. I remember a time when I said family was one of my top priorities, yet my calendar said something completely different. Thankfully, I've been very intentional about realigning myself.

It's also worth noting that the order of your priorities will shift depending on your circumstances. For instance, when I was battling cancer and had a 20% chance of surviving, my #1 priority became my health. If I had put my family as #1 at that time, I probably would have died. It wasn't that family was less important, but staying alive required all of my focus.

Today, I'm going to help you identify your priorities and give you an action plan to live in alignment with them, so you can achieve new levels of success and fulfillment.

Even if you already know what your priorities are, you'll still get a ton of value from this episode. I share actionable ideas for living in alignment with what matters most, a simple way to incorporate your priorities into your Miracle Morning, and my process for creating a foundational schedule that will set you up for success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • 10 categories you can use to prioritize your life.
  • How to determine where you’re struggling (or simply settling for mediocrity), shift your focus, and bring your life into alignment with new priorities.
  • Why you need to clarify your mission–and how I used this strategy to experience my best year in sales, fight cancer, and achieve single-digit body fat at various stages of my life.
  • Why it’s so easy to procrastinate on our most important goals–and how to use measurable activities, rather than goals, to achieve discipline and consistency.
  • How to create a schedule focused on your priorities, check in with yourself, and regularly evaluate your success.

Outer freedom gives you the ability to create the circumstances that you want for your life. Inner freedom allows you to enjoy your life, regardless of the circumstances.

These concepts exist in an inherent conflict with one another. When we pursue outer freedom, there’s a part of us that feels like our life could be better, and when we focus on our inner freedom, part of us celebrates the fact that life’s perfect, exactly as it is.

So, how do we address that contradiction? In today’s episode, I want to show you how to get everything you want for your life while enjoying what you already have. By the end of our time together, I hope to help you reconcile these conflicting emotions and discover why your life is perfect–regardless of your circumstances.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why almost everyone would prefer to improve their circumstances rather than be perfectly content with what they already have.
  • Why the life you think you want won’t make you happier but will eventually lead you back to the hedonic treadmill.
  • How to shift your mindset, have it all, and be at peace with life exactly as it is, even while feeling a sense of urgency to create the life you want.
  • Why “Life is perfect” is one of my favorite affirmations, even in my hardest times, and how adversity serves to help us evolve.
  • The power of choosing to experience inner freedom in the present while looking to be even better in the future.

Most of us don’t like to admit that we worry about what other people think of us, but it’s definitely something I’ve struggled with.

Have you ever stopped to consider the impact that worrying what others think has on you, such as causing stress, perpetuating insecurity, and hurting your self-confidence?

How nice would it be to go through life without being deterred by anyone else’s opinion of you?

In today’s episode, we’re exploring the problems with worrying what others think and I’m giving you three (3) powerful cures to overcome that worry, so you can confidently and completely be your authentic self—regardless of what anyone else thinks.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The subtle but significant difference between worrying what people think and caring what people think.
  • Why fear of imperfection stops us from being our authentic selves.
  • How worry creates unhealthy levels of stress, perpetuates insecurity, creates fear, and hurts our self-confidence.
  • How to empower yourself by taking responsibility for your own experience and no one else’s.
  • Three (3) cures to stop worrying by remembering that everyone is far more concerned with themselves than they are with you.

How much time do you spend in nature compared to how much time you spend indoors, staring at a screen?

I recently realized that my screen-to-nature ratio was way out of balance, and so I decided to do something about it.

In today’s podcast episode, I’m inviting you to take two simple actions in the next 24 hours—one of which I’ve been doing for years to naturally heal my body, and another that has recently become a game changer for me in ways I could have never predicted.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How spending time in nature lowers stress, reduces anxiety and depression, improves your short-term memory, boosts creativity, and recharges batteries.
  • What “earthing” or “grounding” is and how to do it.
  • Why I started meditating outdoors in the evening as the sun sets–and how it helps me fall asleep in a peak mental and emotional state.
  • How to make a commitment to try these techniques right now.
