episodic Three years ago, I felt stuck. Not knowing what I was getting myself into, I decided to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. During three months, I completed 1,100 miles of trail in three states. Walking alone for hours on end gave me a lot of time to think, and it showed me what’s important to me. Personal growth, relationships, and health became my core values. This journey has gotten me to almost unbearable lows and incredible highs I couldn’t have imagined three years ago. It has also made me confident to share my stories, the mistakes I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned. I hope to bring more mindfulness, inspiration, and motivation to everyone around me by being authentically myself.

Because your thoughts are creating your results. And that's what we'll be talking about in this podcast. You'll learn:

  • a result is anything you created in life
  • your results always tell the truth
  • to create a new result, you have to change your thoughts

As an example, I'm going to show you how I created my current job.

But before you start doing things, listen to this podcast to find out:

  1. What action is
  2. What makes you take action
  3. How you can automate it

I'm also talking about my tendency to procrastinate and tell you the reasons behind it. If you want to unleash your wild and want to start taking massive action check out this episode, it gives you everything you need to become an action machine.

Today, I want to dive a bit deeper into feelings. Here are some of the topics I'm covering:

  1. Sensations vs Feelings
  2. Becoming aware of your Feelings
  3. Processing your Feelings

If there is only one thing you take away from this episode, let it be: Feelings are only a vibration in your body.

They create your reality, and when you change your thinking, you change your reality. On my journey, I had to overcome many limiting beliefs. If you look at me now, you might think it's been easy. But I started to become aware of my thoughts way back in 2011. It wasn't until 2015, however, that I became consciously aware of what I was doing. It took me even longer until 2020 before I began teaching the tools I was able to learn.

In this episode, I dive deep into personal examples of the three main points:

  1. your thoughts create your reality
  2. awareness is the key
  3. the double whammy (thinking negative about negative thoughts)

I only started coaching and teaching nine years into my journey. Managing your thoughts is an easy concept, but like with learning any new skill, it takes a lot of practice. Feel the encouragement and continue on your journey of unleashing the wild!

I'm in control of how I react to circumstances that happen in life.

In this podcast I'll run you through an example to illustrate the neutrality of circumstances, I give an example of my life, and how I learn and relearn the neutrality of circumstances over and over again.

Circumstances are always neutral is the most empowering piece of knowledge I have learned. I hope my explanation makes sense and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Everyone has one yet most people don’t even know. That’s because routines are putting your brain on autopilot. So if you think you don’t have a morning routine, think again. In this episode, I’ll share:

  • what routines are
  • why they are important
  • how you can optimize them

As an action step from this podcast, I suggest you add one healthy habit to your morning routine, like drinking a glass of water right after you wake up.

However, I do want to keep up with the promised one episode per week. So I decided this morning to improvise it.

Anxiousness shows up in my body as a tingling feeling, my heart rate rises, and I feel full of electricity. Those sensations are the same as I would feel when I'm excited about something. That's why I decided to use a tool called anxiety reappraisal in a situation last week. You find something you can feel excited about in the situation and keep on telling yourself that you're excited instead.

Like Henry Ford said: "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't – you're right." I'm in control of that voice and have to train it to be positive, like a skill. Having positive self-talk has many health benefits:


★ Increased life span

★ Lower rates of depression

★ Lower levels of distress

★ Greater resistance to the common cold

★ Better psychological and physical well-being

★ Better cardiovascular health and reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

★ Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress


The first step in training myself to become more positive is becoming aware of my thoughts and beliefs.

If you had asked me then, I didn't know what I had accomplished. Did I reach my goals? Tough question to answer since I didn't have goals written down in the first place. Yes, I knew I wanted to become more authentic, less scared, and grow personally and professionally. But without a vision and a plan, how would I know if I got there? So, I decided 2019 was my best year yet, and 2020 will be even better. Why?


Because

★ I defined my values

★ I outlined projects to further my values

★ I created measurable goals to track my projects

★ I identified possible challenges for my goals

★ And I put my vision for my future self in words


When I look back on 2020 in December, I know what I accomplished. During the year, I can review, adjust, and optimize. I wish all of you the best year yet!
