On this episode of the AYG podcast, Jon Berghoff outlines 5 factors for expanding your personal potential!

At the beginning of the show, Jon looks back and smiles about his early days living with Hal. When they weren’t pulling pranks and playing Jet Moto, they were challenging each other’s ability to succeed. It was no coincidence that out of thousands of of sales reps, two people who lived in the same apartment became #1 and #2 for their company. The powerful and positive behaviors that were established were a direct result of living together in the same environment.

Jon’s stories ultimately lead to a challenge for you to take a look at your own environment. Not just in the sense of how being around others can affect your behavior, but also how your physical environment can affect your spiritual energy. What’s distracting you or causing you to lose focus? What’s cluttering up your life? What subtle adjustments can you make to your physical environment that will allow you to be more in control of each and every day?

Jon goes on to share the additional factors he’s learned from Hal and many other thought leaders on how to reinvent and re-wire your personal potential. He talks about improving your well being through movement and nutrition, using the concept of the Hero’s Journey to gain perspective, and the benefits of having a formal meditation practice.

The factors outlined in today’s episode are just a handful of the things that can take your potential to the next level. And the best part… you can start taking action on all of them today!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• [06:30] Find out how your environment can impact your behavior.
• [10:30] Why you don’t want to become a Jack of all trades, master of none.
• [12:40] The power of physical environment and understanding the spiritual energy that comes from clutter.
• [15:04] Improving your physical well being through movement and nutrition.
• [23:54] How to use the concept of The Hero’s Journey to pursue your call to adventure, overcome obstacles, and transform your life for the better.
• [34:25] Discover the 3 attention skills you can develop by having a formal meditation practice.
• [43:00] Jon gives you today’s 5th and final factor, but decides to save the bulk of this topic for a future episode :)

Let’s talk about coloring books. Yes, coloring books!

Coloring books are not only for kids, it’s also ideal for adult too. The science behind them is incredible. People are using them for mindfulness and visualization.

Today’s guest is a friend of mine, Brianna Greenspan. Briana has to overcome the physical challenges of being born with a chronic invisible illness. She has been using the power of positive affirmation for the past 10 years. From back and neck braces, surgeries and numerous doctor visits to competing her first 10k, hiking Half Dome Yosemite National Park, Brianna is a living proof that the power of positive affirmation can really overcome anything that’s holding you back!

Brianna brought about the idea to incorporate the powerful affirmations from The Miracle Morning Book into a coloring book!

Each page is an affirmation that someone can color; the act of coloring helps your mind program the affirmation subconsciously. The coloring book has an adult section and a kids section so families can do this together!
