    This Tiny Shift Makes a Big Difference

    en-usOctober 07, 2022

    Podcast Summary

    • Choose your words wiselyBe mindful of the words we use towards ourselves and others, as they have the power to build up or tear down. Use words to uplift and encourage rather than to criticize or put down.

      The words we use and the way they are presented to us can significantly impact how we feel and perceive the world around us. A simple shift in the words someone uses can make a huge difference in our emotions and mindset. For instance, words of affirmation like "I love you," "you look amazing," or "you look great today" can make us feel amazing, while negative words like "I hate you" or "you're not good enough" can make us feel terrible. It's essential to be mindful of the words we use towards ourselves and others, as they have the power to build up or tear down. So, choose your words wisely and use them to uplift and encourage rather than to criticize or put down. Remember, words are powerful, so let's use them to make a positive impact.

    • The Power of WordsWords can make or break our day, listen intently to others, reflect on positive aspects, and choose words wisely for improved well-being.

      Words have a profound impact on our emotions and overall well-being. They have the power to make or break our day, and the words we use towards ourselves and others matter. When we listen intently to others, we can gain insights into their thoughts and perspectives. It's essential to pay attention to the words we use every day, as they can influence our mindset and actions. Take a moment to reflect on something you get to do and how it makes you feel. Focusing on the positive aspects of our lives and the things we can be grateful for can help shift our mindset and improve our overall well-being. Remember, the power of words is significant, so choose them wisely.

    • See tasks as opportunities instead of obligationsShift perspective to view tasks as enjoyable chances, not burdens. Prioritize and focus on what we love.

      The way we frame our tasks and responsibilities can significantly impact our attitude towards them. Instead of focusing on what we "have to do," we should try to shift our mindset and see these tasks as opportunities to "get to do" them. By doing so, we may find that we feel more positive and motivated when approaching our responsibilities. This perspective can help us approach our daily tasks with a more enthusiastic attitude, even if they are things we don't particularly enjoy. Additionally, it's important to remember that everyone has responsibilities that they must fulfill, such as paying bills. However, we can still strive to prioritize and focus on the things we love and find meaning in, rather than viewing our entire lives as a series of tasks we "have to do."

    • Shift from 'have to' to 'get to' mindsetEmbrace 'get to' mindset for joy, motivation, and positive impact. NetSuite offers control, visibility, and savings in finances. Bombas donates items for every purchase, spreading positivity and essentials.

      We all have the privilege to approach daily tasks and responsibilities with a shift in mindset from "have to" to "get to." Whether it's working out, managing finances during uncertain economic times, or even buying comfortable clothing, embracing this perspective can bring a new sense of appreciation and motivation. When it comes to managing finances, NetSuite offers businesses the visibility and control they need to navigate economic downturns. With features like risk management, reliable forecasting, and inventory automation, businesses can identify rising costs, save money, and improve margins. NetSuite's flexible financing program is currently available, making it an excellent investment for businesses seeking financial stability. Bombas, a socially responsible clothing brand, embodies this mindset by donating an item for every item purchased. Their comfortable, high-quality clothing items, including socks, T-shirts, and underwear, are not only great for the customer but also for those in need. By buying from Bombas, customers contribute to the donation of over 50 million essential clothing items to homeless shelters. In uncertain times, it's essential to focus on what we can control and make the most of the opportunities we have. By embracing the "get to" mindset, we can find joy and purpose in our daily tasks and make a positive impact on the world around us.

    • Shift your perspective from 'having to' to 'getting to'Appreciate daily tasks as opportunities and blessings, not burdens, for a more joyful and grateful life

      The way we frame our daily tasks and responsibilities can significantly impact our mindset and perception of the world. Instead of focusing on the idea of "having to" do something, try shifting your mindset to "getting to" do it. This simple shift in perspective can help us appreciate the blessings and opportunities we have each day, even when faced with seemingly mundane tasks. Whether it's getting out of bed, going to work, or going grocery shopping, remember that many people would love to be able to do these things, and we are fortunate to have the ability to do so. By focusing on the positive aspects of our daily tasks, we can change the way we view the world and find greater joy and gratitude in our lives.

    • You have the power to choose every aspect of your lifeEmbrace the power of choice to create a fulfilling life, acknowledging that every decision is yours to make

      You have the power to choose every aspect of your life, rather than feeling like you're being forced into situations. You get to make decisions about your job, your relationships, and even your health. While it may seem daunting to take full responsibility for your actions, it's also incredibly empowering. By acknowledging that every choice is yours to make, you'll realize that you're in control of your own destiny. It's important to remember that there are many people who would trade places with you, so don't waste your power of choice on things that don't serve you. Instead, use it to create a life that brings you joy and fulfillment. And if you ever feel stuck in a situation, remember that you always have the option to make a change. The beauty of life is that it's full of choices, and you get to make them all.

    • Appreciate what you get to doShift perspective from 'have to do' to 'get to do' for a more positive mindset and happier life

      The way we perceive and approach our daily tasks can greatly impact our mindset and overall happiness. Instead of focusing on what we have to do, we should shift our perspective to appreciate what we get to do. By acknowledging the privileges we have, such as having a job, a car, and the ability to feed our family, we can change our attitude towards our responsibilities. This simple shift in language can lead to doing things with more happiness, joy, and peace. Remember, there are many people in the world who would gladly take our place, so let's make the most of the opportunities we have and approach life with gratitude and positivity.

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

    Today, I'm exploring how our early experiences and surroundings shape who we become—and more importantly—how we can rewrite those scripts to create the life we truly want. Think of our minds like super-complex computers; they run on programs we pick up from childhood onward. These programs influence everything from our behaviors to how we think about ourselves and the world.

    From the moment we're born, we're soaking up information like sponges. It's fascinating to see how much of what we learn comes from observing those around us, especially during those crucial early years. I'll be sharing insights on how to uncover these subconscious programs, challenge them, and ultimately, rewrite them to align with your goals and dreams. If you're ready to take charge of your programming and steer your life in a new direction, this episode is for you!
