38: Overcoming Your Limiting Beliefs Apr 04, 2016

Show notes

Limiting beliefs are beliefs that constrain us in some way. Limiting beliefs are often about ourselves, others, and the world. They are typically broad statements that exist only in our head.

Moving beyond your limiting beliefs is a critical first step in your success. In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff talks about how to address your limiting beliefs that are holding your back from reaching your greater potential.

37: Chasing a Dream at Any Age With Pro Triathlete, Ruth Brennan Morrey Mar 30, 2016

Show notes

Ruth Brennan Morrey's triathlon sporting history is certainly a nontraditional one! As a former Division I soccer player, Ruth "mistakenly" qualified for the 2000 Olympic Trials where she finished 34th out of 210 qualifiers. She took 10 years off from racing and competing due to burnout. In 2011, she took a dare to compete in her first half-ironman and a few years later at age 37, she turned pro. She has been unstoppable ever since!

In this inspiring interview, Ruth talks life balance (oh, she also has three kiddos – ages 11, 8 and 6), competitive drive, and staying fueled with purpose and passion. She described her worst race as also her best race where she learned a new level of suffering and how "difficulties and roadblocks are part of our plan." She talks about how she uses mindfulness to control her mind which she learned as part of her PhD in Counseling Psychology. Prepared to be inspired to go after any goal or dream you have after listening to this interview!

30: How to Reduce Self-Criticism Feb 26, 2016

Show notes

Being self-critical means that you are critical of yourself for your failures and weaknesses. We become our own judge and jury when we self-criticize. Some typical expressions of self-criticism include: "I don't have enough talent." "I'm just too old, slow, short, heavy…" "I guess I am just not meant to be a runner, athlete, author, vice president, manager…. (you fill in the blank)." Your self-criticism is important to examine because your mind determines your identity, your belief about yourself, and your self-image. In this live episode from 93.1 with TJ and Lisa, Dr. Kamphoff teaches us 3 ways to reduce our self-criticism.
