CA010: The Power of Goals Oct 04, 2014

Show notes

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”

“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.

“I don’t much care where” - said Alice.

“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat

“So long as I get somewhere,” Alice added as an explanation.

“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.

(Lewis Carroll from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 1865)

Do you like goals – or does talk of goals make your eyes glaze over and your mind shut off?

Do you set goals in your life or business – or do you think they’re a waste of time and energy?

Have you heard people talking about goals but don’t know what the fuss is about?

In episode 10 of the Changeability Podcast we’re talking all things goals.

We explore the power of goals to help us manage our minds to get the life and business we want. What they are and why they work (or do they?)

How goals take the vision or big picture of what we want (which we talked about in episode 9) and turn it into manageable milestones.

Using the power of goals as a mind management technique is something you don’t want to miss out on if you want to make changes in your life. But not everyone feels the same way - so we look at the potential downside of goal-setting and how to overcome it and use it to our advantage.

Whether you love goals, don’t know anything about them, think they’re totally overrated or are mildly interested in improving your life or business – there’s something in today’s episode for you - on the power of goals.

More specifically in episode 10 you’ll find out about:

What goals are and what they do
When goal setting became mainstream
What many successful people have in common
What’s the point of setting goals
Why goals work
The power of goals to manage your mind
How goals change how you see yourself
If goals are going out of favour
If setting goals sets you up for failure
If goals are good for us
How goals are a mind management technique

CA009: What is your vision in life and business? Sep 27, 2014

Show notes

What is your vision in life & business?

“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: 'If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.' It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” ~ Steve Jobs

Last week we looked at an overview of 5 more techniques and tactics that can help us use our minds in a beneficial way for making changes and improvements in our life and business. Giving us more changeability so we can achieve our goals and desires. It was part two of a 10-technique blueprint we’re laying out over the coming episodes here on the Changeability Podcast.

In today’s show we start back at the beginning. In the first of those 10 techniques, we’re going back to basics - asking a basic question - what do you want? – What do you want your life to look like? What is your vision in life and business?

In episode 9 you’ll find out about:

How changing our life and creating the life we want doesn’t just happen by chance.
How we need to make a conscious decision to change what we want to change to get the life we want, and then make it happen.
How that conscious decision begins with a vision for our life and business.
Why we need to pen – or write down - our vision for life.
How our vision can come in all shapes and sizes
How a big picture – vision – helps define our later goals.
How 3 kick-ass questions will help kick-start your own vision making, cool fizzing life and business.

How to manage your mind

“If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree.” Jim Rohn

Over the course of the first 6 episodes of the Changeability Podcast we’ve talked about our brains, our conscious and subconscious minds – their different but equally important roles and how the subconscious mind is many times more powerful than the subconscious (episode 2).

We’ve seen how the things our conscious creative imaginative mind wants for us can be undermined by our subconscious, whose job it is to keep us safe within the realms of our current experience and way of looking at the world through our self-beliefs and habits. And in doing so can unintentionally restrict our awareness of opportunities and ultimately make the difference between us achieving what we want to or not (episode 3).

We’ve talked about how all change starts with a conscious thought (episode 4) and how important it is to take control. We constantly take choices whether we realize it or not – and one of the things we can choose to do is find ways to manage our minds to help us take control and get the business and life we want (episode 5).

And in episode six we looked at mind management and what it is. How it can help help us be aware of negative disempowering thoughts and increase empowering positive thoughts.

So that's all very good in theory but how do we actually do it?

That’s what we start to talk about it today’s episode of the Changeability Podcast – how to manage your mind. We give an overview of some of the actual techniques and tactics we can use to help us manage our minds - to make changes and improvements in our lives.

And we begin with a chat about Kathryn’s 30-day challenge – to create and publish a video everyday for the month of September.

In episode 7 you’ll find out:

Why Kathryn has committed to making 30 videos in 30 days
What we can gain from 30-day challenges
About 5 techniques for how to manage your mind
Why it’s good to look where you’re going and where you’re coming from
Why you need to be like a sat nav and auditor
About clearing the ground
The fear of public speaking and hope versus expectation
About the power of imagination

CA005: Take control of your life Aug 30, 2014

Show notes

Take Control Of Your Life

“Every human has four endowments - self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom... The power to choose, to respond, to change.” ~ Stephen Covey

If you’ve ever changed or improved something in your life or business, especially if it was something you’d struggled with, was there was a point where you made a choice and decision to take control and do something about it?

Because we think there was. Whether we always remember the exact moment of taking charge or not, there is a point where we get ourselves into the right frame of mind or mindset to do what’s needed. If not nothing happens.

In today’s episode of the Changeability Podcast we’re thinking about why the need to take control of your life is crucial if you want to change anything or get better at something.

In episode 5 you will find out:

You can take control of what you want to change (despite what some may think)
Why going with the flow will not get you where you want to be (if you want to be somewhere)
Why it’s critical to take control of your life and what happens if you don’t
How we give away our power
What self-efficacy and why it’s a brilliant word
You have the ability to influence events affecting you

Thinking about thoughts Aug 23, 2014

Thinking About Thoughts

"It's not what you have to 'do' that needs to change. It's first how you 'think' that needs to change. It's who you have to 'be' in order to 'do' what needs to be done. The good news is that it doesn't cost much money to change your thinking. In fact, it can be done for free." - Robert Kiyosaki

In episode 4 of the Changeability podcast we're thinking about something we don't often think about - something that we all take for granted. We're thinking about thinking. And that means thinking about thoughts.

As this week's 'quote of the show' says - you can change your thinking and it can be done for free. This might depend a bit on your definition of 'free' as it's not without some effort – but it can be done.

And that's what lies at the heart of the whole idea behind Changeability. Changing our thinking to change or improve things in our life through managing our minds or mind management. It's what the Changeability podcast (and book) is about.

In a couple of episode's time we'll get more into the practical techniques and tactics for doing that. But before we get into how to do it let's think today about what thinking is. What are our thoughts and why do they matter?

In this episode you will find out:

How everything starts with a thought
How all that you are is the result of all that you think.
What is thought
That your thoughts really matter – and science is proving it
How your thoughts influence your emotions, and physical and mental health
And more!
