LIAM 108 – Self-Talk Determines Success! May 12, 2015

Show notes

Your self-talk is the largest determining factor for your success in any area of life! How you talk to yourself is a reflection of your beliefs about yourself and influences your behaviors. Are you judgmental, harsh, critical, self-deprecating? or are you accepting, loving, kind, supportive, encouraging? Most of us would not have any friends if we talked to them the way we talk to ourselves! Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Webinar: "Lunch with My Life Coach" - E+R=0 how do you exercise the positive response muscle What comes out of you is what is inside of you! Your self talk determines your success "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right." ― Henry Ford Nobody ever wins who tells themselves they can't. In order to successfully train for and run a marathon, the work is mostly controlling negative self-talk--telling yourself you CAN each and every mile. The minute you say "I can't" the body will stop. Your feet will not go one step farther than your mind tells them they can. I know runners/walkers who come in near the back of the pack and go out and celebrate their victory and are so proud of themselves. I also know runners who come in near the front and talk about how frustrated and disappointed they are with their performance. Somewhere along the line someone told them they'd never be good enough and they believe it regardless of their performance--it is never good enough for them, or for whomever they are trying to please. If being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now.

LIAM 106 – Stop Chasing, Start Choosing May 08, 2015

Show notes

I want to you to stop chasing things. Stop thinking that the things you want in life--relationships, money, health, etc.--are trying to elude you, so you must be in hot pursuit of them. That is lack and scarcity thinking. Develop an inner trust and self-confidence that attracts these things into your life!

LIAM 104 – How to Live a Fun, Happy Life May 04, 2015

Show notes

All you really need to do to have a fun, happy life, is to start doing more things that bring fun and happiness into your life! It's that simple. It is so easy to get stuck in the rut of working, raising kids, etc, that we forget to have fun. At the end of our lives, the only way to say we had a fun, happy life, is to have had the majority of our days be fun, happy days! Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Epiphany: an experience of sudden and striking realization. I love when a coaching client has an epiphany! Conversation with a client: Client: All I want is to have a fun, happy life. Me: What are you doing to create fun and happiness in your life? "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." - Annie Dillard If you want to have a fun, happy life, the majority of your days need to be fun and happy! We get stuck in the rut of just doing the same things every day. We forget to do the things that we enjoy, that bring us happiness! One reason so many people do not like their life is they are not doing enough fun things on a daily basis! Make a list of things that you have done, or would like to do, that would be fun or make you happy; then do those things! Married people need to have their own friends and do things outside of the marriage--it will benefit the marriage! At the end of the day, think about the things that made you smile or laugh today--be on the lookout for the fun, funny moments of life. Mentioned in this show: Help me create better content.

LIAM 103 – HOPE = Hold On Pain Ends! May 03, 2015

Show notes

"H.O.P.E. = Hold On Pain Ends!" was the title of the message I delivered to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life Survivors' Banquet on May 2, 2015! For those battling cancer, or other significant health issues, hope is an essential part of their treatment plan. Without hope, there is no point in trying to fight for survival. I believe each of us has great reason to have hope! Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: American Cancer Society's Relay For Life 2015 H.O.P.E. = Hold On Pain Ends! What you're going through, is it destroying you or purifying you?. Is it a curse or a blessing? You get to choose. Many people live in fear--they fear cancer, they fear death & dying. We don't need to live in fear of ANYTHING! In midst of crisis and pain, how do you hold on to hope? How can you be thankful for what you have? Breathing exercise: If you can breathe, you have everything you NEED. The rest is bonus for which you should be grateful. I believe each of us was created for a purpose. The purpose planned by our Creator. I believe that none of us will leave this planet until the moment that purpose has been fulfilled. I don't know what the purpose was for my daughter's life, but I believe her purpose was completed eight days after she was born. That gives me hope. We are always writing a story. Are you writing a tragedy? The story of grief and loss and suffering? Or a story that is filled with adventure, difficulties and trials, but one in which good triumphs over evil and hope prevails. Death isn't the end. It is the beginning. Being born was painful, we struggled, we came into a new world, breathed new air, were greet by many who were awaiting our arrival. Death/Dying is really getting ready to breath again. Mentioned in this show: Help me create better content. Please take this short survey!

LIAM 102 – May Day or Mayday? May 01, 2015

Show notes

Today is May 1st - May Day! May Day is a celebration of Spring, of renewal, growth, and abundance! The hard, cold, dark days of winter are over, the seeds have been planted and it is time to celebrate the abundance and joy of simply living. In contrast, the word "mayday" means there is a crisis, an emergency, and indicates desperate times. Which are you in? May Day, or Mayday? The difference is just a little space! Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Today is May 1st - May Day! Spring is in full bloom, weather is stabilizing, seeds for the fall are in the ground. Your life will not BE great until you decide that your life IS great! The difference between May Day and Mayday is just a little space. If you are in Mayday (crisis, problem, despair) mode, give yourself a little space today. Take some time to stop focusing on all of the problems, the pain, the negative. You get more of what you focus on! Focus on gratitude, victories, goodness, peace, love Take a deep breath, let it out. The fact that you can do that means you currently have everything you NEED in this moment. The rest is bonus--celebrate it, give thanks for it, ask for more of. Think about the future you want in vivid details. Feel, right now, the feelings you will feel when you have that life--you don't need to wait until then to experience the feelings! If you are crying Mayday to yourself--reach out to people, let them know. I'm here for you! Mentioned in this show: Help me create better content. Please take this short survey!

LIAM 101 – Tomorrow is Determined by Today! Apr 29, 2015

Show notes

The Champion you want to be tomorrow is created by the training you do TODAY! Most of us want tomorrow to be better, in some way, than today is. Yet, we don't take intentional steps, today, to make tomorrow better. We get stuck in pattern of doing the same thing today that we did yesterday, yet we are frustrated when things don't change for the better. You can fix this, TODAY! Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Tweet: The Champion you want to be tomorrow is created by the training you do TODAY! Are you happy with your life today? If not, what are you doing to change it? If you want your life to be different tomorrow, you need to make changes today If you want to wake up and have the house clean, the laundry folded, dishes done, etc, you need to do those things before you go to bed tonight! We become comfortable with our mess, our problems, our mediocrity We hope things will get better, but we don't do anything today to move in that direction You are always training for something Are you planting seeds and fertilizing the soil to produce a crop at harvest? Do you want career success, financial success, relationships, children, health? What you are/have today is the result of your thoughts and behaviors every day up until today. If you want to change the future, what something you different, you must think and do different things. Having a dream, a plan for your life is vital--this is why I teach my Life Plan whenever I can (LIAM 50) Read books, get a coach--success leaves clues! Could you figure it out yourself? Maybe, but a coach can get you there faster - Join my LIAM Coaching Community or contact me about one-on-one coaching. When you have a plan, you can evaluate everything on whether or not it moves you closer to your goals. The MOST important change you can make today to create a better tomorrow is your thinking--eliminate negative thoughts, sarcasm, cynical comments from your thought patters. Think only in ways that improve you and your view of the world! You CAN do this! You CAN change your life. You CAN do something today that will make tomorrow better!

Listen as I explain more: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Show Outline: Intro to #1 - That's it all started on 9/14/14. I smile and cringe when I hear that intro! I read my script! That was the only time I wrote/read a script! Here we are at 100. An amazing journey. Lots of content, many great guests, unbelievable listener support. I want the show to be a fan-archy -- driven by what you want/need in your life. brucevanhorn.com/survey1 At Session #1, I had no idea how many people would listen, or if it would be well received. My intuition told me it would be; I believed in the concept, had a vision and passion for it, and gave it my highest priority--stopped writing books, taking on new clients--until it was fully in flight. My hunch paid off and it has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in my life! Listeners in 179 countries.
