    Podcast Summary

    • Focus on controllables to navigate challengesRecognize what we can and cannot control to reduce stress and respond effectively to disruptions. Focus on reactions, listening skills, and presence, while acknowledging that others' feelings, thoughts, and actions are beyond our control.

      Recognizing what we can and cannot control in our lives can help us navigate challenging situations and reduce stress. When faced with disruptions or difficult interactions, focusing on the things we can control, such as our reactions, listening skills, and presence, can help us respond effectively. Conversely, acknowledging that we cannot control others' feelings, thoughts, or actions can help us avoid unnecessary frustration and conflict. By applying this mindset, we can shift our energy towards what we can influence and find peace in the areas beyond our control.

    • Identifying Controllables and UncontrollablesFocusing on things you can control can help manage stressors and improve anxiety. Journaling can provide clarity and order. By acknowledging both controllables and uncontrollables, you gain power over your worries and fears.

      Identifying what you can control and what you cannot in your life can bring a sense of order and help manage stressors. This simple exercise can be applied during disagreements or challenging situations. Journaling is an effective tool to help order your thoughts and gain clarity on the matter. By focusing on three things you can control and three things you cannot, you can begin to understand and manage your worries and fears, ultimately helping you take action to improve your anxiety. Join the Everyday Positivity Journal journey at journal30.com for more information and resources to help you implement this strategy in your life. Remember, you have the power to control your response to life's challenges, and with the right tools and mindset, you can overcome them.

    2796 When You Get Close to Failure

    2796 When You Get Close to Failure

    Insecurity can freeze your dreams and harden your heart toward your own goals. Life isn't worth trying if you're not good enough. Success comes into focus when you get close to failure.

    Success is around the corner with the more "tries" you have in your life. So start trying and be good enough.

    But all too often, we sit back and wonder why we can't take the easy road. You've paid your dues (in your opinion), and now you want to reap the rewards. 

    Yet, life is writing a different chapter, so you think. Why can't you get what you want when you want it?

    For obvious reasons. Right? 

    So, instead of fumbling through life trying to place the blame on others, what if you were to take responsibility for your own results?

    What if you were to see greatness within yourself even when you fail?

    Do you think that would impact your results?

    Your fears that stimulate your insecurities have to fall faster, or your failure will be greater. 

    Choose to get into the game of life. 

    Learn from the B.U.R.N.!

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn from the B.U.R.N.!

    Mistakes are going to happen. You aren't going to get everything right. Life happens. But you don't have to get stuck thinking that you are less than or not good enough.

    Your insecurities do not have to rule your life. Your fears can be extinguished so long as you keep moving forward. That means you have to take A.I.M. for what matters in your life. 

    Be willing to fail or succeed in all actions, because each will lead you closer to what you're going after (dreams, goals, etc.).

    Let's ready yourself to learn from the B.U.R.N.!

    1. B - Be BRAVE enough to be bad at something new. You can't learn from the burn if you don't fail. Success comes with failures. Instead of talking yourself out of something, try talking yourself into something. This is where you have to be brave enough to be bad at something new. The adventure awaits. 
    2. U - UTILIZE your strengths and weaknesses. Don't be one who tolerates the status quo or mediocrity. Stir the pot within yourself. "Gauge what's possible by doing the impossible." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    3. R - REFINE your actions and words to create your desired outcomes. You're already in motion to create a commotion. So all you need to do is make some minor shifts. As Dan Miller says, "Everything is an experiment." As with any experiment, you make tweaks along the way. This is how you refine your actions and words to create your desired outcomes.
    4. N - NAVIGATE the process by taking the next step.  You can sit back and make all the excuses you want. Or accept the challenge to do more; to reach for those goals, to soar higher.

    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo

    This is a beautiful journey you're on. And the only way you control the outcome is by controlling your mind, body, and spirit. It's YOU!!!

    You have got to get out of your own way. Do more than you complain. Do more than you compare. Do more so you can soar.

    Create your now!

    CHALLENGE: Where are your insecurities slowing you down? Where are they holding you back?

    CAUTION: Don't be so quick to count yourself out. Choose wisely. Walk with the wise to become wise. (Proverbs 13:20) Who are you hanging out with? What are you reading?

    CELEBRATE: Please don't disregard the little wins. The little things matter. 

    This week, look at where you are, honestly. Be realistic about the season you're in. Set your personal expectations that will enhance your goals, not encourage your fouls.

    You are created on purpose for a purpose.

    "Master today to impact tomorrow!" ~ Kristanne Wargo

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
