00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,561
Speaker 1: Appolochiate production. Grow and Glows Twelve Days of Christmas. Hello everybody,

2
00:00:15,601 --> 00:00:18,641
Speaker 1: and welcome back to Grow and Glow. This is twelve

3
00:00:18,681 --> 00:00:20,601
Speaker 1: days of Christmas and I have an incredible guest on

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,481
Speaker 1: with me today. Thanks for coming back, Step.

5
00:00:22,361 --> 00:00:24,041
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me back. I must have done

6
00:00:24,081 --> 00:00:25,121
Speaker 2: a good job. You did.

7
00:00:25,601 --> 00:00:27,841
Speaker 1: We had lots of good feedback. So today we're going

8
00:00:27,881 --> 00:00:31,401
Speaker 1: to be talking about a full mindset reset. Obviously we're

9
00:00:31,401 --> 00:00:33,321
Speaker 1: coming to the end of twenty twenty four. It feel

10
00:00:33,361 --> 00:00:34,961
Speaker 1: like it's just a nice time to kind of reflect

11
00:00:34,961 --> 00:00:37,921
Speaker 1: on the last year and then transition into the new year.

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,321
Speaker 1: So I've got a couple of fire questions. We only

13
00:00:40,321 --> 00:00:42,681
Speaker 1: have twenty minutes, but I've got five good questions for

14
00:00:42,721 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: you that I think are really going to help all

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: of you listening really get in the right mind frame

16
00:00:46,601 --> 00:00:50,881
Speaker 1: to tackle twenty twenty five. It just started off really strong. Yes, cool, ready,

17
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,281
Speaker 1: all right? So what are some key signs to indicate

18
00:00:53,321 --> 00:00:56,681
Speaker 1: that it's time for a mindset reset? And what should

19
00:00:56,721 --> 00:00:59,321
Speaker 1: we kind of be feeling or looking for in that?

20
00:01:00,681 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: Such a good question. I think the mindset reset for

21
00:01:03,361 --> 00:01:06,521
Speaker 2: me was something I started to develop back during COVID

22
00:01:06,561 --> 00:01:09,521
Speaker 2: Because everyone's mindsets were just shot so true.

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: Everything.

24
00:01:10,881 --> 00:01:13,761
Speaker 2: Yeah, the world was challenging, everything was hard. So that's

25
00:01:13,761 --> 00:01:16,801
Speaker 2: when I actually developed a mindset reset protocol, which I

26
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: want to share today. But common signs is that you're

27
00:01:20,321 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: just not feeling good you wake up, maybe you're thinking

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,241
Speaker 2: the same thoughts you thought yesterday. Maybe you're in the

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: same place as last year. It's a feeling of starkness.

30
00:01:29,801 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: It's a feeling of not feeling happy or not feeling

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,881
Speaker 2: like low state. Yeah, a low state and nothing's really

32
00:01:37,961 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: changing in your life. I think that's the key. Is

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: you're wanting change, but everything's the same and that doesn't

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: sit well with you.

35
00:01:44,321 --> 00:01:46,601
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's when you're like, Okay, I need a reset.

36
00:01:46,961 --> 00:01:50,081
Speaker 1: Something has to change one hundred percent. So if anyone

37
00:01:50,121 --> 00:01:52,041
Speaker 1: listenings like, oh my gosh, that's so me. This year's

38
00:01:52,081 --> 00:01:54,361
Speaker 1: been really hard. I'm feeling so flat, I'm feeling lost

39
00:01:54,401 --> 00:01:56,841
Speaker 1: and feeling stark like I hate waking up each day.

40
00:01:56,881 --> 00:01:58,481
Speaker 1: I don't want to tackle the day like they're looking

41
00:01:58,521 --> 00:02:00,561
Speaker 1: forward to bedtime because I know I've been there before.

42
00:02:01,161 --> 00:02:04,041
Speaker 1: What are some strategies that they can implement and start

43
00:02:04,041 --> 00:02:07,241
Speaker 1: to put into their life leading into the new year.

44
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:10,201
Speaker 2: Yeah, The first thing is to have compassion for yourself.

45
00:02:10,241 --> 00:02:13,001
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people's mindsets get worse when

46
00:02:13,001 --> 00:02:16,161
Speaker 2: they're critical about things. True, I didn't do this, or

47
00:02:16,201 --> 00:02:17,961
Speaker 2: I didn't go to the gym, I should have done this,

48
00:02:18,121 --> 00:02:21,281
Speaker 2: and shoulting yourself creates shames. I think the first thing

49
00:02:21,401 --> 00:02:23,521
Speaker 2: is if you want to address your mindset, is to

50
00:02:23,561 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: have compassion for where you're at and say, it's okay,

51
00:02:26,921 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: we had a crappy year. It's all right, we can

52
00:02:29,761 --> 00:02:33,681
Speaker 2: move forward from this, accept it, and just start to

53
00:02:33,721 --> 00:02:37,641
Speaker 2: identify what is it I really want to shift and change.

54
00:02:37,641 --> 00:02:40,721
Speaker 2: If I woke up tomorrow when my life was amazing,

55
00:02:40,841 --> 00:02:43,681
Speaker 2: if I felt happy, if I felt, you know, like

56
00:02:43,721 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: I achieved what I want to achieve, what would be different?

57
00:02:46,281 --> 00:02:48,601
Speaker 2: Because unless we know where we're going, it's hard to

58
00:02:48,601 --> 00:02:51,841
Speaker 2: know how to get there. So we need to identify. Yes,

59
00:02:52,081 --> 00:02:53,481
Speaker 2: that destination.

60
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: So true, that word should It doesn't make it ever

61
00:02:56,401 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: feel good.

62
00:02:57,001 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: No, it's like you're pushing yourself with a stick.

63
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,881
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you feel like you've done something wrong, like, oh,

64
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,961
Speaker 1: I should have done it. It's always done in that

65
00:03:03,041 --> 00:03:04,281
Speaker 1: tone that is shameful.

66
00:03:04,401 --> 00:03:07,761
Speaker 2: Yes, And and then it just reinforces negative patterns because

67
00:03:07,761 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: you don't feel good enough, which is the second thing

68
00:03:11,001 --> 00:03:14,401
Speaker 2: is start to do a thought audit when you're feeling

69
00:03:14,441 --> 00:03:16,361
Speaker 2: in that low state, when you don't want to be

70
00:03:16,441 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: around whatever it might be you're trying to avoid. What

71
00:03:19,881 --> 00:03:23,081
Speaker 2: are you thinking? Is it I'm not good enough? Is

72
00:03:23,121 --> 00:03:26,721
Speaker 2: it I should have done this? Is it I'm worthless?

73
00:03:26,761 --> 00:03:29,761
Speaker 2: What is the actual thought? Because we can't change what

74
00:03:29,761 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: we don't acknowledge, so true and thoughts control everything. Yeah,

75
00:03:34,921 --> 00:03:37,121
Speaker 2: people think, oh, it's the actions I need to change.

76
00:03:37,161 --> 00:03:38,841
Speaker 2: I just have to go to the gym, or I

77
00:03:38,921 --> 00:03:41,721
Speaker 2: just have to eat more healthy. But the reason you're

78
00:03:41,761 --> 00:03:44,041
Speaker 2: in the same place is because you've got the same

79
00:03:44,081 --> 00:03:47,241
Speaker 2: thoughts as yesterday. You're not good enough, you're not doing enough.

80
00:03:47,641 --> 00:03:51,401
Speaker 2: But unless you change those thoughts, nothing in your life

81
00:03:51,441 --> 00:03:52,041
Speaker 2: will change.

82
00:03:52,561 --> 00:03:55,361
Speaker 1: Language is so important. Hey, I remember having a language

83
00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:57,881
Speaker 1: swap to like, oh I have to go do it.

84
00:03:57,881 --> 00:04:00,241
Speaker 1: It's like, well, actually I get to go and do that.

85
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:01,841
Speaker 1: That is my choice, and I get to do this

86
00:04:01,921 --> 00:04:04,801
Speaker 1: and that's going to benefit xyz. But having those language

87
00:04:04,801 --> 00:04:07,641
Speaker 1: shit can really change the whole vibration of your body

88
00:04:07,681 --> 00:04:09,681
Speaker 1: and therefore how you show up and what you're attracting

89
00:04:09,721 --> 00:04:12,761
Speaker 1: more of Do you have any other examples. If someone says, oh,

90
00:04:12,761 --> 00:04:14,921
Speaker 1: I should have gone to the gym, what's a language

91
00:04:14,961 --> 00:04:16,681
Speaker 1: shift that you've got that could help?

92
00:04:17,001 --> 00:04:18,281
Speaker 2: And just on that note, a lot of people will

93
00:04:18,281 --> 00:04:20,041
Speaker 2: say to me, but Steph, I should have gone to

94
00:04:20,081 --> 00:04:23,041
Speaker 2: the gym. But Steph, I am overway. But Steph, I

95
00:04:23,121 --> 00:04:26,041
Speaker 2: do have this problem in my life. And the key

96
00:04:26,121 --> 00:04:29,601
Speaker 2: question to ask yourself is is this thought effective for

97
00:04:29,721 --> 00:04:32,881
Speaker 2: my goals and dreams? Right? Okay, yeah, cool, you should

98
00:04:32,921 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: have gone to the gym, But is shooting yourself effective?

99
00:04:36,001 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: Is that going to get you to your goal? So

100
00:04:37,481 --> 00:04:40,801
Speaker 2: it's not about positive thinking, it's about effective thinking. So

101
00:04:41,041 --> 00:04:43,481
Speaker 2: a simple change could be sure it would have been

102
00:04:43,521 --> 00:04:45,921
Speaker 2: ideal if I had gone to the gym, but I didn't.

103
00:04:46,001 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: And that's okay because it just creates a softer vibrational energy.

104
00:04:51,801 --> 00:04:54,041
Speaker 2: It's not negative, and you're going to be in a

105
00:04:54,041 --> 00:04:58,041
Speaker 2: better state to do it tomorrow. Because thoughts create feelings.

106
00:04:58,161 --> 00:05:00,041
Speaker 2: I'll give you examples. So say you and I were

107
00:05:00,081 --> 00:05:02,921
Speaker 2: going to a party and as she has a bunch

108
00:05:02,961 --> 00:05:04,761
Speaker 2: of thoughts and she thinks, I'm going to have fun

109
00:05:04,801 --> 00:05:06,761
Speaker 2: at the I'm going to network, I'm going to meet

110
00:05:06,841 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: new people.

111
00:05:07,481 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: How are you going to be feeling pretty high vibe

112
00:05:10,241 --> 00:05:11,921
Speaker 1: and excited and like ready.

113
00:05:11,801 --> 00:05:13,961
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go, let's go. And how's that going to

114
00:05:14,001 --> 00:05:15,801
Speaker 2: affect your behavior at the party.

115
00:05:15,921 --> 00:05:17,881
Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to be attracting beautiful people in, I'm

116
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,081
Speaker 1: going to be having amazing conversations. I'm probably going to

117
00:05:20,081 --> 00:05:23,201
Speaker 1: be expanding myself and getting a lot out of my time.

118
00:05:23,001 --> 00:05:25,761
Speaker 2: There, exactly, whereas I'm going to the same parties. You

119
00:05:25,841 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: so the same situation. But I think, what if I

120
00:05:28,401 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: don't know anyone, I'm gonna look stupid, I've got nothing

121
00:05:31,241 --> 00:05:34,881
Speaker 2: to wear, I'm not interesting, I'm boring. How am I

122
00:05:34,961 --> 00:05:37,921
Speaker 2: going to feel going into this party? Shit? Yeah, and

123
00:05:37,961 --> 00:05:40,161
Speaker 2: then how might my behavior be different?

124
00:05:40,361 --> 00:05:43,001
Speaker 1: You would hold back, You probably wouldn't even engage in conversations.

125
00:05:43,041 --> 00:05:44,721
Speaker 1: You go to the bathroom, you'd hide in the corner.

126
00:05:44,961 --> 00:05:47,921
Speaker 1: Maybe you'd drink some alcohol to try and like get

127
00:05:47,961 --> 00:05:49,801
Speaker 1: some liquid courage up. And then you wouldn't be your

128
00:05:49,841 --> 00:05:51,441
Speaker 1: authentic self, so you wouldn't get much out of the

129
00:05:51,521 --> 00:05:52,681
Speaker 1: night anyway, exactly.

130
00:05:52,681 --> 00:05:55,041
Speaker 2: And then what's my belief about parties That.

131
00:05:55,081 --> 00:05:57,441
Speaker 1: I can't be there, I can't do it. I am boring,

132
00:05:57,521 --> 00:05:59,041
Speaker 1: no one wants to talk to me. All those same

133
00:05:59,081 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: things you were thinking. You're like, you're gathering evidence to

134
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:05,961
Speaker 1: confirm your insecurities and your stories. You're telling yourself exactly.

135
00:06:06,201 --> 00:06:10,161
Speaker 2: So those situations, as a result of our thoughts, reinforce

136
00:06:10,201 --> 00:06:13,081
Speaker 2: our beliefs. So people think parties are the problem. I've

137
00:06:13,121 --> 00:06:15,001
Speaker 2: just got to not go to parties. I've got to

138
00:06:15,001 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: avoid them. They try to control the situation, or they'll

139
00:06:17,921 --> 00:06:20,001
Speaker 2: try to control the emotion. I'll just dream or take

140
00:06:20,081 --> 00:06:22,721
Speaker 2: drugs so I feel good. What people don't realize is

141
00:06:22,761 --> 00:06:25,241
Speaker 2: it's actually your thoughts about the party that you have

142
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,201
Speaker 2: to change. So I can say, do you know what,

143
00:06:27,281 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: even though parties make me feel a bit anxious, I

144
00:06:29,361 --> 00:06:31,321
Speaker 2: really want to put myself out there and who knows

145
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,161
Speaker 2: what the night will bring.

146
00:06:32,281 --> 00:06:35,841
Speaker 1: Oh the language shift, Yes, it's like who knows. Like

147
00:06:36,081 --> 00:06:37,521
Speaker 1: one of my words for next year is going to

148
00:06:37,561 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: be curiosity. Yes, I just want curiosity to lead me

149
00:06:40,961 --> 00:06:43,881
Speaker 1: if I'm curious. Instead of being like, oh that looks

150
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: scary or you know, maybe it's not for me, it's like, well,

151
00:06:45,761 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I'm going to lean into that and see

152
00:06:47,761 --> 00:06:52,161
Speaker 1: what happens. Because then there's no expectation. I'm not putting like, oh,

153
00:06:52,241 --> 00:06:54,001
Speaker 1: this must happen or I should be doing this. It's like,

154
00:06:54,041 --> 00:06:56,281
Speaker 1: I'm curious about it. Let's just see what happens. Yes,

155
00:06:56,521 --> 00:06:58,481
Speaker 1: just leaves me really open minded, and that's why I

156
00:06:58,481 --> 00:06:59,961
Speaker 1: want to lead with that next year.

157
00:07:00,121 --> 00:07:02,841
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it creates space because if you're curious, you're

158
00:07:02,841 --> 00:07:05,441
Speaker 2: going to be less reactive, you're going to be true

159
00:07:05,521 --> 00:07:09,881
Speaker 2: less emotionally disregulated because you're coming from a place of curiosity.

160
00:07:09,921 --> 00:07:11,641
Speaker 2: Which is what I encourage people to do with their

161
00:07:11,681 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: thoughts is take a step back from your thoughts and say,

162
00:07:15,681 --> 00:07:18,561
Speaker 2: that's an interesting thought. I'm not worthy, I'm not good enough.

163
00:07:18,961 --> 00:07:19,801
Speaker 2: It's just a thought.

164
00:07:19,881 --> 00:07:21,721
Speaker 1: You can think something, but it doesn't actually have to

165
00:07:21,761 --> 00:07:25,361
Speaker 1: mean anything, right, It's aren't fat Yeah, yeah, thoughts aren't facts, so.

166
00:07:25,361 --> 00:07:27,401
Speaker 2: It's not helpful most of the time. And all it

167
00:07:27,441 --> 00:07:29,881
Speaker 2: is is your brain trying to protect you. But the

168
00:07:29,921 --> 00:07:32,561
Speaker 2: beauty is you can't choose which thoughts come up, kind

169
00:07:32,561 --> 00:07:34,361
Speaker 2: of like your family. But you can choose.

170
00:07:35,401 --> 00:07:37,321
Speaker 1: You can example the.

171
00:07:37,321 --> 00:07:40,241
Speaker 2: Time and attention, yes, you give to them or to

172
00:07:40,281 --> 00:07:43,801
Speaker 2: your family members. So if anyone's listening and you're like, oh,

173
00:07:43,841 --> 00:07:46,561
Speaker 2: I get so many negative thoughts, start to notice them

174
00:07:46,681 --> 00:07:49,161
Speaker 2: and become curious about them and be like, that's an

175
00:07:49,161 --> 00:07:50,761
Speaker 2: interesting thought. Does that serve me?

176
00:07:51,281 --> 00:07:51,361
Speaker 1: Know?

177
00:07:51,761 --> 00:07:53,641
Speaker 2: How can I reframe that instead?

178
00:07:53,881 --> 00:07:58,921
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've used this example before with body love. Sometimes

179
00:07:58,961 --> 00:08:02,001
Speaker 1: I think affirmations. I do love affirmations. But if you

180
00:08:02,201 --> 00:08:04,161
Speaker 1: if you are having thoughts of like I hate my body,

181
00:08:04,161 --> 00:08:06,401
Speaker 1: I hate my body, you can say I love my body.

182
00:08:06,401 --> 00:08:08,201
Speaker 1: I love my body, but like, if you don't actually

183
00:08:08,281 --> 00:08:11,441
Speaker 1: believe it. I feel like there's this bridge of meeting

184
00:08:11,441 --> 00:08:13,321
Speaker 1: in the middle of being like, Okay, I don't want

185
00:08:13,321 --> 00:08:15,521
Speaker 1: to hate my body. I don't feel like I love

186
00:08:15,561 --> 00:08:18,041
Speaker 1: it right now, but I accept it and I'm grateful

187
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:19,721
Speaker 1: for it. I'm grateful that I have two feet in

188
00:08:19,721 --> 00:08:21,881
Speaker 1: a heartbeat. I'm grateful that I birth my children. I'm

189
00:08:21,881 --> 00:08:24,201
Speaker 1: grateful that my skin's clear at the moment, you can

190
00:08:24,201 --> 00:08:26,201
Speaker 1: find gratitude to meet in the middle. I feel like

191
00:08:26,241 --> 00:08:28,761
Speaker 1: it's a nice stepping stone one hundred percent.

192
00:08:28,881 --> 00:08:32,841
Speaker 2: And just on that note as well, with body respects,

193
00:08:32,841 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: like you don't have to love it, but you can

194
00:08:34,361 --> 00:08:36,361
Speaker 2: respect it and to be kind to it as well.

195
00:08:36,361 --> 00:08:37,921
Speaker 2: And a lot of people say to me, but Steph,

196
00:08:38,001 --> 00:08:40,801
Speaker 2: I don't believe the thought, so they might say to themselves,

197
00:08:41,001 --> 00:08:43,161
Speaker 2: you know what, I am worthy. I don't believe in it.

198
00:08:43,681 --> 00:08:45,081
Speaker 2: You don't have to believe in it for it to

199
00:08:45,081 --> 00:08:48,641
Speaker 2: be effective. Think about this two people. One person really

200
00:08:48,681 --> 00:08:51,041
Speaker 2: believes that they're going to get fit and healthy, but

201
00:08:51,081 --> 00:08:53,641
Speaker 2: they stay home and eat maccas every day and don't exercise,

202
00:08:53,681 --> 00:08:54,961
Speaker 2: and they say, you know what, I really believe I'm

203
00:08:54,961 --> 00:08:56,961
Speaker 2: going to be fit and healthy, whereas the other person says,

204
00:08:57,001 --> 00:08:58,881
Speaker 2: I don't believe I'm going to be fit and healthy,

205
00:08:59,281 --> 00:09:01,321
Speaker 2: but they show up for themselves every day. I don't

206
00:09:01,361 --> 00:09:02,721
Speaker 2: believe it, but I'm going to go for my walk.

207
00:09:02,761 --> 00:09:04,761
Speaker 2: I don't believe it, but I'm going to hang out

208
00:09:04,761 --> 00:09:07,761
Speaker 2: with my friends and socialize. Who's going to get the

209
00:09:07,761 --> 00:09:10,561
Speaker 2: better result? Yeah, the person who believes or the person

210
00:09:10,601 --> 00:09:13,761
Speaker 2: who acts despite their thoughts and feelings and how they

211
00:09:14,081 --> 00:09:15,201
Speaker 2: believe in themselves is.

212
00:09:15,201 --> 00:09:16,201
Speaker 1: A really good example.

213
00:09:16,481 --> 00:09:19,401
Speaker 2: Yes, you don't have to believe it. You just have

214
00:09:19,521 --> 00:09:22,721
Speaker 2: to take a step in the direction you want to go,

215
00:09:22,921 --> 00:09:26,641
Speaker 2: despite how you feel, which is going to feel uncomfortable.

216
00:09:26,761 --> 00:09:30,121
Speaker 1: Gosh. Yeah, it's so important I think to also be

217
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:33,721
Speaker 1: constantly trying to bring yourself back into center and be regulated.

218
00:09:33,721 --> 00:09:35,801
Speaker 1: Because I like how you said, just when that thought

219
00:09:35,841 --> 00:09:38,121
Speaker 1: comes out, just take a step back. You just take

220
00:09:38,201 --> 00:09:41,801
Speaker 1: ten breaths and just be like, Okay, that thought's there. Hi,

221
00:09:42,321 --> 00:09:46,121
Speaker 1: thank you? Hello, Yeah, it's really interesting where's that come from?

222
00:09:46,161 --> 00:09:48,481
Speaker 1: And get really curious and start to investigate it. And

223
00:09:48,561 --> 00:09:50,361
Speaker 1: I know, for me, even like growing up, my story

224
00:09:50,481 --> 00:09:52,281
Speaker 1: was I'm so dumb and the once I actually took

225
00:09:52,281 --> 00:09:54,241
Speaker 1: a step back and was like, where did it actually

226
00:09:54,281 --> 00:09:57,041
Speaker 1: come from? My stepdad? Yes? Is that the actual truth? Like?

227
00:09:57,041 --> 00:09:59,801
Speaker 1: Am I dumb? No? I didn't even try half the

228
00:09:59,801 --> 00:10:02,401
Speaker 1: time because I let that story be my truth, but

229
00:10:02,441 --> 00:10:04,641
Speaker 1: it's not actually the truth. Once I unpacked it, I

230
00:10:04,681 --> 00:10:07,641
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, Just because someone says something or you

231
00:10:07,681 --> 00:10:09,561
Speaker 1: think something, it does not have to be the truth.

232
00:10:09,681 --> 00:10:12,561
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not effective. Yeah, right, And we got

233
00:10:12,601 --> 00:10:14,201
Speaker 2: to break that down. When people say I feel like

234
00:10:14,241 --> 00:10:18,321
Speaker 2: a failure or I'm dumb, what does dumb even mean to? Yeah,

235
00:10:18,321 --> 00:10:20,481
Speaker 2: what does it mean? What does a failure look like?

236
00:10:20,561 --> 00:10:22,841
Speaker 2: If you were a failed mum? What is a failed mum?

237
00:10:22,921 --> 00:10:25,841
Speaker 2: That's so true and break down what that definition is.

238
00:10:25,841 --> 00:10:28,161
Speaker 2: And you're like, well, if someone was done, they probably

239
00:10:28,201 --> 00:10:30,921
Speaker 2: wouldn't be capable of doing all the things that you do.

240
00:10:31,001 --> 00:10:34,441
Speaker 2: So is that really fitting? Probably not? Is it effective?

241
00:10:34,921 --> 00:10:35,521
Speaker 2: Probably not?

242
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:36,321
Speaker 1: Wow?

243
00:10:36,441 --> 00:10:39,801
Speaker 2: So what you said with thoughts is taking a step

244
00:10:39,841 --> 00:10:42,401
Speaker 2: back and thinking about your thoughts as a hurricane or

245
00:10:42,401 --> 00:10:44,641
Speaker 2: a storm. You've got two choices. You can be in

246
00:10:44,761 --> 00:10:47,281
Speaker 2: the storm and be in that thought like I'm dumb,

247
00:10:47,321 --> 00:10:49,521
Speaker 2: I'm dumb, I'm done, or look at that thought from

248
00:10:49,561 --> 00:10:52,681
Speaker 2: the distance and say I'm having the thought that I'm dumb.

249
00:10:53,001 --> 00:10:56,361
Speaker 2: I'm having the thought that if you insert that, that

250
00:10:56,441 --> 00:11:00,641
Speaker 2: creates this metaphorical distance. It makes you observe it so

251
00:11:00,681 --> 00:11:02,361
Speaker 2: you can control it, so you're not in the eye

252
00:11:02,401 --> 00:11:03,641
Speaker 2: of the thoughts of the storm.

253
00:11:03,961 --> 00:11:06,801
Speaker 1: That's really cool. I love that example. Thank you for that.

254
00:11:07,921 --> 00:11:10,361
Speaker 1: And then as we're going into twenty twenty five, how

255
00:11:10,361 --> 00:11:12,481
Speaker 1: important do you think reflection is? I know when I

256
00:11:12,601 --> 00:11:14,841
Speaker 1: before I set my goals, I go back and look

257
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:17,601
Speaker 1: at the ones I set previously, and you know whether

258
00:11:17,641 --> 00:11:19,441
Speaker 1: they came true or not. I'll just reflect on I'd

259
00:11:19,481 --> 00:11:22,041
Speaker 1: be like, that's working, that's not working. That feels really good,

260
00:11:22,081 --> 00:11:24,201
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel really good. I like, how did that?

261
00:11:24,241 --> 00:11:25,761
Speaker 1: But I think I want to like shimmitt a little

262
00:11:25,761 --> 00:11:28,041
Speaker 1: bit over this way. I like to reflect on everything.

263
00:11:28,081 --> 00:11:29,521
Speaker 1: How important do you think reflection is?

264
00:11:30,041 --> 00:11:33,521
Speaker 2: Reflection is extremely important because if we don't know where

265
00:11:33,521 --> 00:11:35,921
Speaker 2: we're going how we're going to get there. But also

266
00:11:36,441 --> 00:11:40,281
Speaker 2: many people are so focused me included, on going forward

267
00:11:40,401 --> 00:11:43,961
Speaker 2: and achieving these huge, big goals and milestones, and it

268
00:11:44,001 --> 00:11:45,921
Speaker 2: can be demotivating because you think you're so far and

269
00:11:45,961 --> 00:11:49,921
Speaker 2: we compare ourself to others, But reflecting back allows you

270
00:11:50,001 --> 00:11:52,521
Speaker 2: to compare yourself to yourself, like, yes, you might not

271
00:11:52,561 --> 00:11:54,801
Speaker 2: financially be or you want to be, but where were

272
00:11:54,801 --> 00:11:58,161
Speaker 2: you a year ago? Yeah you know, yes, maybe health

273
00:11:58,201 --> 00:11:59,681
Speaker 2: wise you're not where you want to be, But where

274
00:11:59,681 --> 00:12:03,081
Speaker 2: were you six months a year ago? So reflecting allows

275
00:12:03,121 --> 00:12:06,081
Speaker 2: you to compare with yourself and actually see your progress.

276
00:12:06,121 --> 00:12:09,641
Speaker 2: Because we're so focused on moving forward or comparing ourself

277
00:12:09,721 --> 00:12:11,681
Speaker 2: to unrealistic standards.

278
00:12:11,281 --> 00:12:13,601
Speaker 1: Or people, sometimes we don't even take time to celebrate

279
00:12:13,601 --> 00:12:15,241
Speaker 1: the small wins. So even if you had a goal

280
00:12:15,281 --> 00:12:17,321
Speaker 1: for X amount of dollars and you quite reach that,

281
00:12:17,361 --> 00:12:19,761
Speaker 1: but you're still maybe halfway there, that's still worth celebrating

282
00:12:19,801 --> 00:12:20,481
Speaker 1: and being proud of.

283
00:12:20,641 --> 00:12:21,241
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

284
00:12:21,361 --> 00:12:24,561
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think reflection's so important in your experience. What

285
00:12:24,801 --> 00:12:28,041
Speaker 1: role does goal setting play and creating a successful mindset reset?

286
00:12:28,081 --> 00:12:30,881
Speaker 1: And how can we all set actual goals the line

287
00:12:30,921 --> 00:12:33,001
Speaker 1: with our true desires? In twenty twenty five.

288
00:12:33,321 --> 00:12:36,641
Speaker 2: Okay. I think the first thing is discovering what don't

289
00:12:36,681 --> 00:12:37,601
Speaker 2: you want? Yeah.

290
00:12:37,721 --> 00:12:39,161
Speaker 1: That's a good point, isn't it, Because a.

291
00:12:39,161 --> 00:12:40,201
Speaker 2: Lot of people are like, yeah, but I don't know

292
00:12:40,281 --> 00:12:41,681
Speaker 2: what I want. I don't know what my goal is,

293
00:12:41,721 --> 00:12:43,681
Speaker 2: and I was saying, what don't you want? Yeah, And

294
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:46,081
Speaker 2: that can be something really useful to start from. It

295
00:12:46,121 --> 00:12:47,881
Speaker 2: is figuring out, Okay, what don't I want to happen?

296
00:12:48,201 --> 00:12:51,641
Speaker 2: But also with goal setting, identifying what you do want

297
00:12:51,801 --> 00:12:54,441
Speaker 2: and just say, you know what, in the biggest, wildest dreams,

298
00:12:55,001 --> 00:12:58,921
Speaker 2: what is possible for me? And just by asking yourself

299
00:12:58,961 --> 00:13:02,641
Speaker 2: the question, you're opening your brain to possibilities. Because everyone's

300
00:13:02,681 --> 00:13:04,561
Speaker 2: focused on oh, I don't want this to happen. I

301
00:13:04,601 --> 00:13:06,161
Speaker 2: don't want that to happen. And it doesn't put you

302
00:13:06,241 --> 00:13:09,241
Speaker 2: in a good state to dream and all of that.

303
00:13:09,361 --> 00:13:11,481
Speaker 2: So just be in a really good state when your

304
00:13:11,481 --> 00:13:13,321
Speaker 2: goal setting. I'm really big on this, like go to

305
00:13:13,361 --> 00:13:17,601
Speaker 2: the beach or sit grounded, feel good and just let

306
00:13:17,641 --> 00:13:20,361
Speaker 2: your mind run wild. And your biggest world is dreams.

307
00:13:20,681 --> 00:13:23,081
Speaker 2: Write down almost I think I listen to you say

308
00:13:23,081 --> 00:13:25,441
Speaker 2: this once fifty or one hundred goals, whatever it is,

309
00:13:25,441 --> 00:13:28,361
Speaker 2: because it forces you to can't not stop even if

310
00:13:28,361 --> 00:13:31,121
Speaker 2: they feel unrealistic. I do it every year now, write down,

311
00:13:31,201 --> 00:13:33,041
Speaker 2: like whether it's yeah, fifty or a hundred of just

312
00:13:33,081 --> 00:13:34,521
Speaker 2: things that I want to achieve or.

313
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:36,841
Speaker 1: That I'm wanting to feel. And sometimes that i'm writing,

314
00:13:36,841 --> 00:13:39,161
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this feels like a stretch. But put

315
00:13:39,161 --> 00:13:40,801
Speaker 1: it on there, like I want that in the forefront

316
00:13:40,841 --> 00:13:42,841
Speaker 1: of my mind. I want that for myself, whether it's

317
00:13:43,081 --> 00:13:45,321
Speaker 1: next year or in two years, Like put it on paper,

318
00:13:45,961 --> 00:13:46,801
Speaker 1: getting that energy.

319
00:13:47,121 --> 00:13:49,441
Speaker 2: And the brain doesn't know the difference between what's real

320
00:13:49,601 --> 00:13:52,681
Speaker 2: and what's imagined. So people imagine the worst case scenario.

321
00:13:52,761 --> 00:13:54,601
Speaker 2: I'm going to be late, I'm going to get rejected,

322
00:13:54,641 --> 00:13:57,001
Speaker 2: he's not going to text me back. But if you

323
00:13:57,041 --> 00:14:00,601
Speaker 2: can start to imagine the best case scenario, you're already

324
00:14:00,641 --> 00:14:03,841
Speaker 2: creating that blueprint in your brain and the brain will

325
00:14:03,841 --> 00:14:06,561
Speaker 2: start to make it happen. So really start to Yes,

326
00:14:06,601 --> 00:14:08,761
Speaker 2: write down your goals. That's important. But you have to

327
00:14:08,881 --> 00:14:11,721
Speaker 2: get in the state as if you have achieved it.

328
00:14:11,841 --> 00:14:16,281
Speaker 2: So really encourage some visualization. Imagine that you've achieved that goal.

329
00:14:16,321 --> 00:14:18,481
Speaker 2: How do you feel, what's it like? You know a

330
00:14:18,521 --> 00:14:21,681
Speaker 2: lot of people like Joe Despenzer, Tony Robbins really emphasize

331
00:14:21,881 --> 00:14:24,201
Speaker 2: that it's so important to feel the emotion of achieving

332
00:14:24,201 --> 00:14:28,401
Speaker 2: the goal before we actually do it, to show our

333
00:14:28,441 --> 00:14:29,321
Speaker 2: brand it's possible.

334
00:14:29,481 --> 00:14:32,641
Speaker 1: Yes, that's cool. I've even seen someone say to write

335
00:14:33,121 --> 00:14:35,321
Speaker 1: like a future letter of yourself, as if you're already

336
00:14:35,321 --> 00:14:37,961
Speaker 1: achieved all of that, Like wow, Ashy, you're in your

337
00:14:37,961 --> 00:14:40,881
Speaker 1: beautiful home, like your kids are so healthy, you've got

338
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:44,201
Speaker 1: two million down loads, Like how do you feel like congratulations?

339
00:14:44,281 --> 00:14:46,561
Speaker 1: Like actually put it as if it's already happened, and

340
00:14:46,601 --> 00:14:48,561
Speaker 1: you get in that feeling of like, oh my gosh,

341

Speaker 1: this woud feel amazing, like I want this. It really

342

00:16:33,241 --> 00:16:33,681
Speaker 1: Yeah?

379
00:16:33,561 --> 00:16:37,641
Speaker 2: Way, you know, if you want to change something, start now.

380
00:16:37,841 --> 00:16:40,281
Speaker 1: Yeah. If nothing changes, nothing changes. It's one of my

381
00:16:40,361 --> 00:16:41,081
Speaker 1: favorite sayings.

382
00:16:41,081 --> 00:16:43,081
Speaker 2: Hey, it's so simple but true.

383
00:16:42,921 --> 00:16:44,561
Speaker 1: Isn't it. I feel like so many of us like

384
00:16:44,601 --> 00:16:46,321
Speaker 1: want the world to change, want the world to be kind,

385
00:16:46,401 --> 00:16:47,841
Speaker 1: or want the world to like do this. It's like

386
00:16:47,881 --> 00:16:50,361
Speaker 1: it actually starts with you. If you want all of that, Like,

387
00:16:50,441 --> 00:16:51,881
Speaker 1: you have to be that first.

388
00:16:51,681 --> 00:16:53,801
Speaker 2: And you have to change up here. Yes, it's not

389
00:16:53,881 --> 00:16:56,081
Speaker 2: about just waking up earlier. It's not about the things

390
00:16:56,161 --> 00:16:59,201
Speaker 2: you do. It's how you speak to yourself. So, if

391
00:16:59,241 --> 00:17:01,521
Speaker 2: you want to be someone who loves and respects their body,

392
00:17:01,601 --> 00:17:02,761
Speaker 2: how would you speak to yourself?

393
00:17:02,841 --> 00:17:03,161
Speaker 1: Yeah?

394
00:17:03,161 --> 00:17:05,401
Speaker 2: And that's how it starts, because those thoughts put you

395
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:08,281
Speaker 2: in a good state, and that good state drives good behavior.

396
00:17:08,441 --> 00:17:11,161
Speaker 1: One of my favorite sayings, too, is like, treat yourself

397
00:17:11,201 --> 00:17:12,961
Speaker 1: how you would treat your best friend or your daughter,

398
00:17:13,041 --> 00:17:14,761
Speaker 1: or your sister or your mum. If they're on a

399
00:17:14,761 --> 00:17:16,801
Speaker 1: weight loss journey, if they're trying to achieve their goals.

400
00:17:17,441 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: You are so encouraging and you're so compassion you're so like, yes,

401
00:17:20,681 --> 00:17:22,561
Speaker 1: you've got this. But then to yourself you're like, oh,

402
00:17:22,561 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: you're a fat, lazy cow. Yes, so you would never

403
00:17:24,761 --> 00:17:26,201
Speaker 1: say that to your sister or best friend. So why

404
00:17:26,201 --> 00:17:27,201
Speaker 1: would you do that to yourself?

405
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,721
Speaker 2: Exactly? And it's not helpful.

406
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,641
Speaker 1: No, double yeah, exactly panful.

407
00:17:30,761 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: So yes, Thatt to audit your thoughts, it's not helpful.
