Welcome back to another episode of "Shift Or Get Off the Pot." Have you ever felt stuck, trying to force progress on a project when it's just not clicking? I have had plenty of times and while I know to just walk away and shift my energy to something else, I sometimes forget that lesson and just try to force things. Well, that never works! Recently I got my reminder to stop doing that! It came in the form of a memory from an adventure I shared with my family a few years ago. It was quite the adventure!

Today, I’m sharing that experience which popped up in my photos at just the right time. It provided a timely reminder and revealed some powerful life lessons. Join me as I share the story of a memorable family trip to Bali and a sunrise hike to Mount Batur. This adventure not only gave us unforgettable moments but also three valuable lessons about perseverance, embracing the process, and celebrating our achievements. Whether you're feeling frustrated with your own projects or just in need of some inspiration, this episode has something for you. So, sit back, relax, and join me for a fun-filled, and a bit crazy journey.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Keep Moving Forward:
  No matter how slow or fast, each step you take is a step forward. Progress, even when forced to pause, is still progress.
• Enjoy the Journey:
  Life's beauty lies in the journey, not just the destination. Embrace the small moments and experiences that shape your path.
• Recognize and Applaud Your Achievements:
  Take the time to acknowledge your progress. A simple pat on the back can fuel motivation and self-appreciation.

Tune in and let’s shift perspectives together! 🚀

In the latest solo episode of "Shift Or Get Off the Pot," I dissect the concept of self-perpetuating cycles and how they impact our lives. Using relatable examples, including a humorous scene from the movie Wine Country, I explore how our beliefs shape our reality and what we can do to break free from negative loops.

I walk you through several examples to illustrate the self-perpetuating cycles we unknowingly create for ourselves. I share the story of Marianne, whose fear of success keeps her from achieving her desired results. I detail the behaviors that indicate this fear, along with the decisions and actions that seem productive but are derailing her efforts, sabotaging her success and her relationship. I’ll also take you through a pattern that is keeping one person from achieving her fitness goals. If any of this sounds familiar, tune in! We’re about to nip these cycles in the bud. I give you practical steps to flip these negative loops into positive, goal-achieving ones.

Tune in to discover how awareness, positive reframing, and action can help you break free from limiting beliefs and step into a more fulfilling life. Let's get started!

🎙 Key Takeaways:

• Awareness is Key
  : By taking a closer look at your actions and the results they yield, you can uncover the hidden beliefs that keep you stuck in a loop.

• Challenge and Reframe
  : Once you identify these limiting beliefs, challenge them with evidence to the contrary and reframe them into positive affirmations.

• Visualize Success
  : See yourself as the person who has already achieved the goals you desire. Shift your identity to align with your aspirations, boosting your confidence and guiding your actions toward success.

Timestamps:

00:00 Recognizing and breaking self-perpetuating behavior cycles.

05:36 Addressing one issue leads to addressing others.

08:50 Self-perpetuating cycle causing tension and missed appointments.

On today’s episode, I welcome transformation and spiritual coach, Karen Rudolf for a lively conversation about personal transformation. We explore the vital balance between visualizing goals and taking action, the expansive power of focused intention, and the emotional underpinnings that drive our sense of purpose and joy. Karen gives an example of the self-perpetuating loop using the fear of abandonment to illustrate this cycle.

We discuss intuition and the mind-body connection, the influential power of words, and redefining what’s realistic in the pursuit of our dreams.

We’ll share a practical exercise to help you focus on what you truly want, and Karen explains a meditation technique to stay present and avoid anxiety. We also dive deep into the role of past experiences on our present behaviors and beliefs, the transformative power of self-awareness, and personal forgiveness.

From childhood stories that create limiting beliefs to strategies for reframing those stories, this episode is packed with wisdom and actionable insights. Get ready to explore the essence of living a tranquil, fulfilling life.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that encourages you to recognize your value, embrace self-love, and take charge of your journey.

Key Take Aways:

💡Focus on What You Want, Not What You Don't:

It’s crucial to clarify and focus on your true desires. By listing what you don’t want and identifying its positive opposite, you can direct your energy towards what truly matters.

💡Embrace Forgiveness for Personal Growth:

Holding onto old stories and traumas can hold you back. Forgive for yourself—not to excuse others' behavior, but to release emotional burdens and move forward.

💡Harness the Power of Present Moment Awareness:

Utilizing techniques like Kim’s rubber band trick or Karen’s meditation tips can help manage distractions and cultivate a mindful presence, which is essential for receiving intuitive guidance and making conscious choices.

09:08 Examining and changing stories for positive impact.

15:11 Recognizing old patterns, overcoming procrastination, staying focused.

Today’s episode features an enlightening conversation about ADHD with Tracy Otsuka of ADHD for Smart Ass Women.

In this episode, Tracy and I dive deep into the nuances of ADHD, particularly in women. We explore how positive emotion and recognizing individual strengths can significantly enhance the lives of those affected by ADHD.

Here are three key takeaways:

⭐ Positive Emotion is Crucial: By age 12, a child with ADHD may have heard 20,000 more negative messages than a child without ADHD. Surround yourself with positive people and environments to boost productivity and well-being.

⭐ Focus on Strengths and Interests: ADHD brains have an interest-based nervous system, excelling in tasks they are passionate about. Find your strengths, talents, and passions, and use them to find purpose and achieve success.

⭐ ADHD in Women and Girls: Recognizing ADHD in women is challenging, as it often presents as inattention and internalized symptoms, leading to misdiagnoses of anxiety and depression. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective management and support.

Timestamps:

00:00 ADHD, misdiagnosis, understanding, and personal experience.

05:26 ADHD study reveals women's undiagnosed struggles.
