Today’ Episode focuses on the first in your five to thrive, the mind. This episode is a mash-up of the best “soul” episodes from this past season. Even if you have seen these episodes, do the work again! This work and growth is all about repetition!
This is episode 100, and we’re calling this the “End cap to season one.” Why? Because season two is going to be new and different, and we’re really excited about it. Yes, we’re going to have the Daily Growth Hacks each and every day, but we want to let you know what’s coming up in season two.
Now, when you think about it, every day we make things mean something. Listening to this Daily Growth Hack, or watching this on video, you’re associating a meaning. A meaning not only to what I’m saying, but a meaning to you, and to how you’re interacting with this audio, video, or what’s coming out. What does it mean to you?
What do I mean? Stop lying to yourself. When I say that, what I’m talking about is all the lies that we tell ourselves on a daily basis. These are lies that come from previous stories. Stories about our past. These stories become records playing in our head over and over again on some kind of crazy loop. Now, what these stories do, is they disempower us. Now, these stories are things that we’ve made up based on past experiences, or things people have told us, or things that have happened.
As you’re developing this author of your own story lifestyle, as you’re evolving here, you’re doing these daily growth hacks and hopefully, you’re putting in the work. I really hope you are. As you’re doing this, you’re going to start noticing the change. What you may start to notice is something that many of us notice. That is the people around you start to push back. They start to subconsciously sabotage what you’re doing.
This could be negative comments, “You’ll never do that,” or, “You shouldn’t be doing that,” or, “What the heck are you doing?” These types of comments come naturally. It should be understood. People are comfortable with the old you. They’re comfortable with the you that doesn’t have a voice. They’re comfortable with the you that didn’t take control and be the author of their own story.
