FLASHBACK FRIDAY - Overcoming Negative Self-Talk: THE Most Important Gift To Yourself

65. HEALTHY HABITS for LONG-TERM SUCCESS Part 2: Three Tips For Forming GOOD HABITS To Achieve Your Goals

Topics: I start with talking about the importance of having an awareness around your current habits. More particularly, being aware of the unhelpful habits that you may currently have and working with those as a very first step. I then move on to look and offer tips on habit formation from the perspective of the different personality types. For goals-driven personality types: 1. Cut your larger goals into smaller manageable goals. 2. Track your progress toward your bigger goal. 3. Celebrate your successes along the way. For process-driven personality types: 1. Prioritize consistency, and forget about perfection. 2. Incorporate reflection time. 3. Batch off similar tasks and complete them at the same time For rewards-driven personality types: 1. Set clear milestones for yourself that are punctuated by rewards. 2. Reward consistency, not just the target. 3. Build a visual tracker of your progress.  Finally, and this applies to all forms of habit formation and all personality types:  - Plan for and know there will be setbacks and obstacles along the way.  - Recognize and accept that you are going to have off days.  - As long as those moments don’t themselves turn into habits, it’s all part of the process and the cycle.  - Once you’ve acknowledged that you’ll face obstacles along the way, plan ahead, the best you can.  I hope you enjoy the show and that these tips are helpful to you!  Note: Whilst I discuss mental health awareness on my show, I am not a medical doctor and am not qualified to give mental health advice.

FLASHBACK FRIDAY - Empowerment: Why Taking Action Is Important!

Empowerment is about taking control of your life, and about making positive choices. By being empowered, you build the confidence you need to pursue your goals and your dreams. It's also a way of recognizing your self-worth.  I believe that empowerment is a mindset. It is a way of being in the world, which allows you to navigate life's challenges with grace, and with resilience.  I have three quick-fire tips on taking steps toward empowerment. My first quick-fire tip is to recognize your agency in a situation. In the face of a difficult or unpleasant situation, there will be a range of choices and courses of action open to you. Once you’ve explored what these are, it may be that you favour none of the options. But knowing that you have choices reduces feelings of helplessness, and feelings of disempowerment. In turn, your confidence around the situation will eventually grow, in the knowledge that you do have choices. My second quick-fire tip is to connect to and listen to your intuition. Intuition is that deep seated knowing that you all have. It’s the ability to understand something instinctively and intrinsically, without the need for logic or for reasoning. By following your intuition, your inner compass, you will start to develop a sense of self-confidence which will make you feel more empowered. My third quick-fire tip is to focus on the joy! By being joyful – and grateful – you can subvert a lot of the scarcity mania that’s in our daily news currently. Scarcity culture breeds the opposite of empowerment, and leads to fear.  I hope you enjoy the show.  Note: Whilst I discuss mental health awareness on my show, I am not a medical doctor and am not qualified to give mental health advice.

63. IMPOSTER SYNDROME! What It Is, Why You Have It, And How To Beat It!

Imposter syndrome is when you experience self-doubt, or feel inadequate in some way. There are ways to overcome this. My top five tips for dealing with imposter syndrome are: 1. Be your authentic self. If you try to overcome imposter syndrome by being someone you think others want you to be, you will be doing yourself - and others a huge disservice. 2. Take some time to focus on past successes. Remind yourself that you can, you have and you will achieve success. 3. Embrace the fact that perfection is a myth. Do this by setting realistic expectations of yourself.  4. Reframe the feeling of self-doubt. If something historic is causing your self-doubt to manifest - an event, or something someone said for instance - go back to that moment in time, and view it from the perspective of what you gained. What was the learning, the improvement that followed in your life? 5. Focus on growth. Do this by gaining experience and knowledge - which you inevitably will - just by showing up.
