59: Owning the 40% Rule Jul 27, 2016

Show notes

High performers know they have more in their reserve tank. They keep in mind the 40% rule which means they have up to 60 percent more to give. They embrace the suck, but don't live there. They think and act like pros by welcoming and embracing the discomfort. They realize they need to stay the course, put their heads in the sand and stay gritty.

Show notes

In this interview, David Horsager, the world-leading expert on trust, talks about how a lack of trust is your biggest expense. He describes his 8-pillar framework (clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution and consistency). Developing trust takes time - there is no quick fix. The best think about trust bigger and take responsibility for developing trust. He describes his "90 day quick plan" and the importance of asking "How?" "How?" "How?" when thinking about trust. Towards the end of the interview, he describes that we cannot provide anything of long-term value without sources of strength and provide several examples in his own personal life.

56: Don't Take Things Personally Jul 06, 2016

Show notes

In his book The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz said, "Nothing people do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dreams." When we take things personally, we let criticism and negativity eat at us. We can overreact, get offended, and hold grudges. We create conflicts that can impact relationships long-term.

When you take things personally, you allow the words of others to poison you. You get further away from your goals and dreams. You cannot be a high performer – or reach your full potential – when you take things personally.

In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff provides several strategies you can do instead of taking what others do or say personally. You can reach Cindra at cindra@cindrakamphoff.com or on Twitter @Mentally_Strong.

55: Find What You Love to Do and Other Wisdom from Dr. Michael Sachs, Temple University Jun 28, 2016

Show notes

In this interview, Dr. Michael Sachs starts by talking about the importance of countering excuses and his passion to help people become more active. He talks about the importance of making exercise a lifetime endeavor and finding an activity that you love to do. The keys to the #1 excuse people give to not exercising (which is time) is to: 1) prioritize exercise, and 2) multitask if needed. He also provides us with the 2% solution and question us: "Is your health worth the 2% needed each day for physical and mental health benefits?" Towards the middle of the interview, he shares other wisdom such as a story about Dr. Seuss failing, how success is a journey not a destination, and how high performers "Carpe diem or Seize the Day."

54: Believe in the Best-Case Scenerio Jun 23, 2016

Show notes

"Don't spend a lot of time imaging the worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice." Michael J. Fox

Neurologists have found that when your brain expects something to happen, it works to achieve it at a subconscious level. Your expectation creates it. Your brain takes over the job of accomplishing what you see – what you expect. If you expect the worst, you will get the worst. If you expect the best, you are more likely to get the best. In this podcast, we talk about what to do instead when you think about the worst-case scenario and how to turn your attention to the best-case scenario or what Cindra calls the my-case scenario.

This week's affirmation: I focus on what I want to happen. I CREATE IT IN MY MIND FIRST, AND THEN I MAKE IT HAPPEN. I think like a high performer and believe the sky is the limit for me.

53: Design Your Mindset with Andy Murphy Jun 16, 2016

Show notes

Andy Murphy, the host of the popular podcast Mindset by Design, shares that the best of the best are great problem solvers and make decisions fast. They are searching for flow, happiness, trust and calmness. He talks about his training in NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) and the importance of how our conscious and unconscious mind impacts us every day. Andy talks about how we don't have to believe everything we think, and when we fail, we should use it as feedback. Towards the end of the interview, he discusses how we should build the behaviors that we want to become already. He quotes Bruce Lee at the end of the interview: "I don't fear the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times" emphasizing that the consistency and the basics work every time.

52: Turn Impossible to I'm Possible Jun 13, 2016

Show notes

"Nothing is impossible…the word itself says 'I'm possible.'" Audrey Hepburn

Nothing legendary has ever happened without someone believing it was impossible at one time. In this podcast, Cindra provides examples that impossible is temporary. Impossible is brief. Impossible is short-lived. Impossible is not permanent. As Muhammad Ali said, "Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. It is not a declaration. It is a dare!" She describes how high performers – or those to work to reach their greater potential – view the impossible. She shares a strategy for you to consider what you think is impossible for you to change the impossible to I'm possible. To reach Cindra, send her a tweet @Mentally_Strong or an email at cindra@cindrakamphoff.com

Affirmation this Week: I defy limitations. I move boundaries. I do the impossible because I'm possible!

51: "Close Your Eyes, Scan Your Body & Make Positive Self-talk A Practice" with Dr. Jack Lesyk, Ohio Center for Sport Psych & Cleveland Cavaliers Jun 09, 2016

Show notes

Dr. Jack Lesyk, Director of the Ohio Center for Sport Psychology and Sport Psychologist with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sees that the best are gritty – they have passion and perseverance for their long-term goals. They are resilient and don't let poor performance linger. They have a short-term memory. Jack describes there are two different types of perfectionists: dysfunctional and functional. Functional perfectionists strive for excellence and are always looking for what went great. Dysfunctional perfectionists overreact emotionally and focus on what went wrong. Jack describes a mindfulness practice he does with his clients to help them change how they feel with their words and images. His final advice for high performers – or those who work to reach their greater potential – is to enjoy the moment. Close your eyes, scan your body and make positive self-talk a practice. To contact Jack, visit sportpsych.org or send him a tweet at @sportpsychOH.

50: Think Like a Creator with Responsibility 101 Jun 07, 2016

Show notes

John Maxwell said: "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." Most of us are conditioned to blame someone else for our suffering. We blame our parents. We blame the weather. We blame our spouse. We blame our boss. We blame our teammates. We blame our genetics. We blame our education. We blame ownership. We blame our kids. Every time we blame someone or something, we dwindle our chance of success. In this interview with TJ and Lisa, Cindra talks about how high performers create the life and performance they desire. They think and act like a victim.
