 If you’re moving forward, you’re happy.  What might it look like if you had a “luxurious” work day?    We know that high performers have way more breaks that regular performers.  What nugget of information is hidden in how you pace your day?  Today we coaches talk about how to gauge success, and what it feels like on a daily basis. 

 Today’s conversation discusses:  The intricacies of the way we feel during our everyday interactions.  Let us not ignore them.  Enjoy! 

 “I got into coaching because I was concerned I’d forget the power of personal development” ~ Coach Nick  When you talk about personal development on a podcast every week for more than 2 years, I wonder what the 137th conversation would sound like?    Check it out here… 

 Are you where you want to be?  In business?  In life?  We have accepted the responsibility of owning all the results in our lives.  At one point, victim mentality played a role.  I am here because _______ (insert external forces aka excuses).  Now that we have moved to the point of acceptance and responsibility, what am I actually capable of changing?  What internal work can I do to influence the external results I’ve got?  How intimidating… and how EMPOWERING at the same time!  Let’s dive deeper… 

 Once you commit to internal work, how does that show up?  Coach Josh references episode# 133 _ “Heart of a Lion” in this week’s episode of #truthseekers.  That’s a good kick-off point to today’s conversation.  And when prioritizing the Internal over External, what exactly does that mean for your External World?  What actually happens?  The coaches give a few real-life examples so that you might think about how this applies to your life.  Enjoy! 

 Mike Skrypnek understands that healing our past traumas and reforming our subconscious patterns allows us to realize our unlimited worth.  He will show you ways to gain the insight needed to develop the awareness to overcome limits keeping you from your own personal or professional happiness and success.  Mike is an international best seller of 9 books, keynote speaker, podcast host, men’s mental health advocate, and sought after business strategist who has shared his insights and wisdom with thousands of passionate and purpose-driven entrepreneurs, business leaders, and executives.    

 We all have an example where we felt UNSTOPPABLE!  …where we couldn’t be touched; where we were on top of the world; where our energy was bursting at the seams!  How does that happen?!  Can we repeat it?  And can we LIVE in that place more often?  Why not…  The coaches have a secret to share; they give credit to Phil Stutz’s popular Netflix documentary called “Stutz”, and his and Barry Michels’s book called “The Tools”.  The coaches talk through an example of integrating energy that had been lost… and the feeling that energy creates… see if you can feel it during today’s conversation. 

 Pushing yourself into places of vulnerability = the quickest way to grow.  Passive aggressiveness may be an indicator that you are burying, or tip-toeing around, something you feel strongly about.  How might we be rewarded by a more direct way of addressing something that bothers us?  We coaches discuss this further because things that don’t get addressed only build up and explode later.   

 Decisions do not = certainty.  They are value proposition trade-offs.  Everything we do is made up.  We get to decide what we are searching for.  And we can’t pursue anything until we make up what that thing is – define it.  Limitless possibilities.    If you don’t define exactly what it is, you are guaranteed to not get there.  It takes courage to define it; to go on the Hero’s Journey.  And it’s going to be miserable.  It’s going to take sacrifices.  You might not get it.  But the opposite doesn’t even bear thinking about.    Think about that…
