Anytime we have a meaningful goal there’s always a risk that we will become overwhelmed by it. I think that’s normal. We want to set goals that challenge us and stretch us, we want to push ourselves right up to that line of what we’re capable of, but, somehow, not cross over that line. So today I want to talk about some of the strategies I use to manage that balance, so I don’t get overwhelmed by my work. And these are a mix of some really simple, tactical strategies, along with a few beliefs and mindset shifts I’ve learned to create over the years.

In today's episode, I share how we can borrow an idea from Computer Science to handle errors in our mental programming. This is a fun, silly (and, yes, slightly dorky) technique that helps you spot and recover from your negative patterns.

In today's episode, I talk about the power of sticking with decisions by catching and avoiding indecision. This means: if a decision isn't obvious, the answer is NO!

There are a few key principles behind this:

1. The power of decision isn’t in making the decision, it’s in sticking to it.
2. Indecision causes stress by pulling you out of alignment.
3. Often, indecision is a guise for fear.
4. The cost of an unmade decision is higher than you think - and, often, higher than the cost of a wrong decision.
5. We always, already know the right path (sometimes, we just can’t see it).

I hope you enjoy!

If you've been in a slump, avoiding "that thing," or feeling like you just can't motivate yourself into action, today's episode is for you.

In it, we talk about the hidden beliefs that often underpin our tendency to procrastinate, along with 3 core strategies you can use to help you take action.

If you got thrown off last month or it feels like this year is flying by, this is for you.

In today's epsiode, I talk about how we can pay attention to our response when we get thrown off track, reset our expectations for where we should be, and move forward from where we are (without feeling stressed or "behind").

Hesitation is the 4th of the 7 Hidden Faces of Fear. It comes in the form of the many, momentary gaps between inspiration and action, little hiccups that cause us to question ourselves and keep us from taking action on our goals.

Doubt is one of the most sinister masks that fear can wear. It slips into us from so many places we often don't even realize when it's present. It stops us from going after the things we really want, and keeps us stuck, exactly where we are.
