537: Our Brain's Negativity Bias Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

We all experience automatic negative thoughts because our brain's role is to keep us safe, not to help us perform well or be happy. To reduce our automatic negative thinking, we first must notice our thoughts. An important part of reaching your greater potential is recognizing that you shouldn't believe everything you hear—you want to recognize the ANT, label the ANTs, and then question your ANT.

Quote of the Week: Rick Hanson, PhD said: "Our brain is like Velcro for bad experiences and like Teflon for good ones."

This Week's Power Phrase: "I am not my thoughts. I will not believe everything I think!"

536: Choosing Your Story Mar 14, 2023

Power Phrase of the Week: "I intentionally choose the story I am creating today."

Quote of the Week: "Changing your story is as simple as choosing better stories to tell yourself." Kindra Hall

535: Don't Let Your Negativity Grow Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

We all experience automatic negative thoughts because our brain's role is to keep us safe, not to help us perform well or be happy. To reduce our automatic negative thinking, we first must notice our thoughts. Question those thoughts you have and ask yourself, "What data do you have to support your interpretation?"

Power Phrase of the Week: "I am not my thoughts. I will not believe everything I think!"

Quote of the Week: "You are not your thoughts. You are the OBSERVER of your thoughts." Amit Ray

533: Quieting Your Inner Critic Feb 08, 2023

Show notes

Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice that can sound scared, angry, or judgmental. We want to be aware of our inner critic to reduce it. We all have an inner critic inside of us. Remember our inner critic tends to lie to us. We want to respond to our inner critic by challenging it, and choose a more empowering and truthful statement to tell ourselves instead.

This Week's Power Phrase: "I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic."

This Week's Quote of the Week: "It is not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it is what you whisper to yourself that has the most power." Robert Kiyosoki

Quote of the Week: "Grit is sticking with your future day in, day out and not just for a week, not just for the month, but for years." Angela Duckworth, Professor at University of Pennsylvania

This week on the podcast, we talk about various ways to adopt a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset.

A growth mindset has been linked to achievement, more happiness, healthier relationships, and a higher motivation.

"Quote of the Week: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan

In this episode, we encourage you to think about what you really want in 2023. High performers set goals because it gives them direction and focus. They write their goals down. They follow through with their goals and keep them in mind during the year. They write down the steps to reach their goals, and then are flexible along the way.

Power Phrase of the Week: "I am focused on my goals in 2023."

Quote of the Week: "Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life." Les Brown
