Podcast Summary
Embrace the new year with IKEA, CVS Health, and On Purpose: Enhance experiences, prioritize well-being with IKEA's affordable outdoor products, CVS Health's healthcare services, and On Purpose's resources like Jay Shetty's book and tour.
No matter the season or your circumstances, there are ways to enhance your experiences and prioritize your well-being. IKEA offers affordable outdoor furniture and accessories to make the most of summer, while CVS Health provides comprehensive healthcare services for all ages. Herbs, like slippery elm bark and ginger root, can support digestive health. The key to achieving your goals isn't just the resolution itself, but the approach you take. This year, On Purpose listeners are encouraged to embrace the new year with excitement and determination, using resources like Jay Shetty's book, "8 Rules of Love," and his global tour, "Love Rules." Despite the challenges, remember that each new beginning is an opportunity to reset and pursue your ambitions.
Manifestation is more than just setting goals: Shift focus from goal to intention and process for effective manifestation, statistics show success depends on approach, not resolution.
The key to successful manifestation and achieving desired results goes beyond just setting goals. While goals provide direction, it's the approach or methodology used to manifest them that truly makes a difference. According to the speaker, in Western society, we focus too much on the end result, while Eastern traditions emphasize leading with intention. The speaker encourages listeners to shift their focus from the goal to the intention and the process of manifestation. Additionally, the speaker shares that statistics show that many people make New Year's resolutions, but the success of achieving them depends on the approach taken, not the resolution itself. The speaker plans to share practical steps to help listeners learn and understand how to effectively manifest and create desired results.
Connecting with your intention for sustainable goal achievement: Focusing on deep intentions, not just results, helps maintain motivation and make sustainable progress towards goals. Monitor progress consistently to observe trends and make adjustments.
Focusing too much on the results of your goals can lead to self-criticism and sabotage, whereas having a deep and profound intention for why you want to achieve that goal can provide the motivation to keep going even when you don't see immediate progress. It's important to monitor your progress instead of just measuring it, as measuring only gives you a snapshot of the current situation, while monitoring allows you to observe trends and make adjustments as needed. By deeply connecting with your intention and consistently monitoring your progress, you can make sustainable changes and ultimately reach your goals.
Understanding the reasons behind numbers: Instead of just measuring numbers, ask why to gain insights and avoid complacency or self-sabotage. Understand the importance of change and take action to make it happen.
Instead of focusing solely on measuring the numbers in our lives, we should strive to monitor the reasons behind those numbers. Measuring, such as through apps or fitness trackers, is important, but it's not enough. By asking ourselves why things are going well or badly, we can gain valuable insights and avoid becoming complacent or self-sabotaging. Additionally, understanding the importance of a change is only the first step; to truly make a change, we must also take action and implement it. So, monitor your progress, learn from your experiences, and don't be too hard on yourself when things don't go as planned. Remember, it's not just about the numbers, but the reasons behind them.
From theory to action: Making changes meaningful: Taking practical steps and making changes meaningful can lead to significant improvements in various areas of life. Support your goals with affordable and practical solutions, like IKEA hacks or supplements, and look for triggers or challenges to make the shift from theory to action.
Relying solely on willpower for change without taking practical steps can lead to disappointing results. This was discussed in relation to trying to make the most of summer, where affordable and practical solutions from IKEA were suggested to turn theoretical plans into tangible transformations. Another example was given about the importance of supporting gut health with supplements like Ritual's Symbiotic Plus, which moves beyond theoretical understanding and provides real relief. Lastly, the importance of making changes meaningful was emphasized, often requiring a trigger or challenge to make the shift from theory to action. Overall, the message is that taking practical steps and making changes meaningful can lead to significant improvements in various areas of life.
Embracing pain as a catalyst for change: Understanding pain or problems pushes us to apply concepts, strive for effectiveness, and progress through the four stages of change for lasting improvement
Our experiences of pain or problems serve a purpose beyond just causing suffering. They push us to transition from theoretical understanding to practical application of important concepts, making them meaningful and applicable to our lives. This process is crucial for lasting change. Efficiency and effectiveness are two different concepts. Efficiency is the ability to do many things, while effectiveness is doing things that truly matter. Striving for effectiveness in all areas of life, including business and personal growth, can lead to greater impact and progress. The four stages of change are theoretical, meaningful, practical, and applicable. We start with intellectual knowledge, then experience emotional connection, make it practical, and finally apply it. Change in any area of life, whether it's health, work, or personal growth, requires this progression. In summary, embracing pain as a catalyst for change, focusing on effectiveness, and following the four stages of change can lead to meaningful and lasting improvements in various aspects of our lives.
Shift from efficiency to effectiveness: Focus on impactful projects and balance thinking and doing for effectiveness, not just efficiency.
Shifting from an efficiency mindset to an effectiveness mindset is crucial for making a significant impact. While being efficient involves doing a lot of things, being effective means focusing on the activities that truly matter. Jay shares his personal experience of recognizing the importance of this mindset shift, which led him to prioritize impactful projects over insignificant tasks. He also emphasizes the importance of balancing thinking and doing, suggesting a ratio of 70% action and 30% thinking as a starting point. By focusing on doing and taking action, one can make progress and learn through experience, rather than getting stuck in the thinking stage. Remember, the goal is to make your weeks and months effectiveness-focused, not just efficiency-focused.
Reflecting on growth and the essential feelings it brings: Focus on growth, set goals, and embrace the experiences of learning, launching, and loving to bring joy, happiness, excitement, and growth in life
Focusing on growth rather than just setting goals is essential for achieving success. Thinking and reflecting on what worked and what didn't, and what skills or mindset are needed to reach a goal, can lead to significant shifts and improvements in life. Additionally, setting the 3 L's of a phenomenal year - learning something new, launching a project, and loving the experiences - can bring essential feelings of joy, excitement, growth, and improvement as a human. It's important to remember that winning isn't one of those essential feelings, but rather the experiences of learning, launching, and loving that bring us joy, happiness, excitement, and growth. So, set your goals, but also focus on the growth required to reach them and the experiences that will bring you joy, happiness, excitement, and growth along the way.
Embrace learning, travel, and wellness for a fulfilling year: Invest in personal growth through continuous learning, travel experiences, and prioritizing health and well-being with trusted resources
Personal growth and new experiences are key components of a fulfilling year. Whether it's learning a new mindset, joining a community, or launching a new project, committing to continuous learning and taking action are essential. In the realm of travel, planning ahead with a trusted platform like booking.com can turn dreams into reality. Meanwhile, in health and well-being, resources like CVS Health offer various services to support overall wellness. Lastly, mental health is just as important as physical health, and online therapy platforms like BetterHelp provide accessible and affordable support for managing mental health challenges. So, commit to learning, launching, and loving what you do, and remember that resources are available to help make your journey a successful one.
