Chapter 4: What role does gratitude play in resetting my mindset?
I'm so glad you're back here with me today. Okay, so today, as always, I'm always trying to do something different, as you know. And this week, I had the opportunity Ben Newman put on an event called the mental toughness forum. It's at mental toughness forum.com. And an incredible lineup of speakers. I was grateful to be one of the speakers. John Gordon, Ben Newman. There was Ed Milet.
So many professional athletes. It was crazy.
Chapter 5: What common mistake do people make when starting something new?
Really incredible group of speakers. An amazing event. And we've gotten... It's so cool when you do these events online because people... tweet out certain quotes that you have and they share them and you get to see what resonates with people. And so I'll actually read you a quote that I saw just people kept reposting and reposting and it made me so excited. Where's the one that I liked?
No, that's not the one. Wait, I'm looking for it. Hang with me. Well, you're going to hear it in a second anyways, because I'm going to play the actual speech for you.
Chapter 6: What is the fastest way to escape a negative spiral?
It's 18 minutes long. See what you think. But it says, how we show up for our kids and the people we care about in our life is how they, in turn... will show up and there's Heather Monahan. So it's funny because I don't even know what I'm saying half the time when I'm talking because I give so many speeches that I sort of have a rhythm. It's like, you know, Nike, just do it, right?
You tie your shoes, you're not thinking about it. So sometimes when I see people... sharing quotes that I've said, it's such a cool, surreal feeling because I say, Oh my gosh, I don't even remember what story I was telling or what I was trying to impart when I shared that. But okay, I like that too.
Chapter 7: How does the influence of others affect my growth?
I'll keep it. Yes. So I'm going to play this talk for you. And again, it's mentaltoughnessforumchallenge.com. I'm going to put the link in the show notes so you can check it out If you want to check into it and see the other speakers and whatnot, obviously, please do. Really incredible event.
I did post about it during the week so that you would be able to see it, but I know it's so hard sometimes. You might share something on one platform and somebody doesn't catch it, but hopefully you'll catch it here. Would love.
Chapter 8: In what ways does letting go build resilience and confidence?
to hear what you think. If you like more content of my talks, happy to provide more of those for you. Always need your feedback, of course. Oh, and just PS, it's your girl's birthday, August 14th. I am turning 48 years old. So if you want to give me a birthday gift, I would love it if you would share the show and leave me a review. It would mean the world to me. Seriously, it would mean so much.
It helps me. so much as i'm kicking off a new year and super excited about this year with my son and i moving and so many exciting things ahead like live events i just got back from a live i was giving a sales kickoff keynote in san diego california and it was so fun to be back in person with people still doing a mix of hybrid events and then you know some in person
But I definitely love the in-person and I'm hoping you're getting in-person with people too. It is so exciting. And it was so interesting. Also, one thing I wanted to note, as you know, I live in Miami and in Miami, people don't wear masks and haven't for a while. We have total freedom here. When I was in San Diego, it was so different.
surprising to see so many people had masks on and they were talking about potential mask mandates so again wherever you are just you know to reflect on how grateful we can be for what we do have you know our health that we're in a better situation than we were during the pandemic because getting a glimpse of that in san diego was wow that really took me back and made me feel so grateful
So challenging you today. What can you be grateful for? And I actually just had this conversation. I got a phone call from my nephew this morning, upset that he had just broken up his relationship and he was feeling really down. And I said to him, I said, listen, here's the thing. Number one, this is temporary. And I speak with a lot of experience, you know, now almost 48 years old.
I'm telling you, I've had lots of breakups, whether they be at work or, you know, social relationships or my actual personal relationships. It's temporary. No matter how you feel, it will change in time. And just reminding yourself of that. Right. Like in the moment, it can feel. ah, this is a roller coaster and I can't take it.
But that's where we have to pump the brakes, give ourselves some grace, right? And say, you know what? I have been through hard times before. I did get through those tough times. I didn't know what was ahead. That's a big part of it, right? You don't know what miracle could be waiting for you this afternoon. You need to start expecting miracles in your life and putting that vibe out there, right?
And this is exactly what I was saying to my nephew today is, you don't know who you're going to meet this afternoon at the grocery store. How can you sit there and tell yourself that you know you're going to be depressed for the next couple of months? That's not fact. That's a belief you're holding. There's no factual basis for that. And I just liken it to when I got fired five years ago.
You know, I sat for one day on the couch feeling so bad for myself under a weighted blanket, you know, just crying my eyes out and just feeling so victimized. And I remember after 24 hours, I said, OK. Pity party is over. It's fine to feel the sadness for sure. It's good to do that, but you don't want to wallow in it, right? And if you're going to allow yourself to do that, you'll stay there.
