Here's the great news about change: while there are thousands of tools, tactics and approaches, you don't need to collect all of them to win. You don't need 75,000 strategies. You don't need to know more. You certainly don't need to know anything. Creating change requires just a small handful of tools that you actually use. That right there is one of the keys - don't delude yourself into thinking that utility requires novelty - that something new is more valuable than something familiar that you just haven't implemented consistently. In today's episode I'm sharing with you the 3 most common tools I've been using with my 12 WT clients to help them create change in their lives. I think you're going to love them!

If you want to hit any goal in your life, you have to know how to recover faster from setbacks & frustrations. The other day, I had a big setback and I was emotional about it. I cried. I got mad. I spent hours focused on how I didn't understand another person's behavior or thought process. Then, I had a bit of an "aha" moment. I came to the realization of a powerful perspective shift that I now think of as my "drama shut off" valve and I'm sharing it with you on today's episode!

Need to hold yourself accountable? Looking to get better at following through and staying consistent? Today's episode has the tools you need! "Masterminds" have become super trendy in the past few years - it seems like everyone in business is starting or joining a mastermind. Undoubtedly, they can be great tools for growth.

What does "no mud no lotus" mean to you? To me, it's a reminder that all the dark times & moments in my life can take me to a new, brighter, higher level - if I choose to let them. My life hasn't been easy. In fact, I've been deeply unhappy and hopeless for most of it. It stings a little share that. Because I'm so open about my struggles with depression and obesity, I get a lot of questions about how I came out of the struggles. There are also a lot of people who assume that the struggles are behind me and it must be "easy" now. In the spirit of this "no mud no lotus" theme, today I want to share with you some parts of my past struggles that I'm still practicing overcoming. We're talking about fear of judgement from others as well as judging others. We're talking about drama and the perspective of abundance versus the perspective of lack.

I think you need to slow down. I know I need to slow down. However, those of us who most need to slow things down are usually the ones who think there's just no way. This is one of my favorite podcast episodes of the year because we're talking about the tendency to rush through our days and our lives with an operating system of "too much at once". In today's episode, I'm sharing my incredible conversation with Sandy Vo about how to slow down, especially when you don't think you can. You know how when your computer starts to run slow, you close down all the programs that are open & running in the background when you're not using them? You can do that with your thoughts. What thoughts are open and running in the background, draining your energy and darkening your mood? You can turn them off. Turning them off doesn't mean deleting them anymore than closing Skype when it's not running means that it's gone forever. If you are ready to create more space in your life and in your mind, you want to carve out time

Building emotional resilience is one of the most powerful steps toward happiness, confidence, peace of mind and consistency but it certainly requires intentionality and practice. In today's episode we're talking about how to go about creating this barrier to emotional volatility and how to enforce personal boundaries while practicing emotional resilience. https://primalpotential.com/593/ Emotional Resilience Questions Was insult intended? Do I know for sure? What assumptions have I made? Am I focused on the problem or the solution? Am I judging someone? Am I placing my standards and values on someone else? What is the difference between what actually happened (the facts) and what I added to the story (assumptions/intent/feelings)? What have I added to the facts? What else could this mean? Have I added insult where none was intended? What if I decided to not take this so seriously? What's my role in this?

What are your core values? Do you show up with honesty & kindness for others but not for yourself? Do you feel like you're a great leader in you work or for your family but you aren't leading yourself? Today I'm talking with leadership expert Kareen Walsh about how to become a more effective leader of yourself and you won't want to miss it! One of my favorite parts of the conversation is when Kareen reminds us all to give ourselves permission to show up as the version of ourselves we want to be TODAY. She talks us through what we can do when we know our core values, or we know what we want them to be, but we aren't making choices accordingly. https://primalpotential.com/592/ Connect with Kareen Kareen's 8-Week Business Masterclass Lead with Value Follow Kareen on Instagram EB's Resources: Join me for the 1 Week Spring Cleaning Mindset e-series!  Chasing Cupcakes Join the Primal Potential Facebook group Hop on the wait list for the Summer 2019 12 Weeks to Transformation
