1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Family Therapy. I'm your host, Elliott Connie.

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: During this season, you've heard me ask the same question

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: at the top of each and every episode, which is

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: what has been better since you listened to the previous episode.

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: This is an important question. It's important in my work.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I ask all of my clients when they come back

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: to therapy what has been better since the last time

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: we talked? Because it's very important that you shift your

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: focus to the things in your life that are improving,

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: and all of us have them. No one's life is

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: all good nor all bad. So we have to learn

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: to attend to the good parts of life, the parts

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: of life that we experience as more pleasing and desirable

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: than others, and focus on them. And that's what this

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: question is designed to do. But today is a very

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: special episode because I will be guiding you through a

17
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: series of questions. So if you could please grab a

18
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: pen and paper so you can write down your thoughts,

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: or just find a quiet area where you'll be able

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: to listen uninterrupted. Most of us, by default, we have

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: a tendency to ask ourselves questions that aren't necessarily useful

22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: when troubling things happen. For example, if you have something

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: bad happen, like getting fired from your job, we ask

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: ourselves why did this happen? If you have a breakup

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: in a relationship, we ask ourselves, why does this always

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: happen to me? What is wrong with me? How can

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: I keep finding myself in this situation? Those kinds of

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: questions don't lead us to productive responses. A productive response

29
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: is a kind of response that leads towards action, increased hope,

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: and things you can control. I was watching a video

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: recently of a former Navy seal. He's now an author

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and social media influencer by the name of David Goggins,

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and somebody asked him when he is thinking about quitting,

34
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: what does he do? He's an ultra marathon or so

35
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: he puts his body through remarkable physical tasks. And they

36
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 1: asked him, when you're thinking about quitning, what do you do?

37
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: And he shared, you know, when I'm on a hundred

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: mile run, there are times I think about quitting or stopping.

39
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: And he said, I asked myself what if? And I

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: was so intrigued by that response because a lot of

41
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: people ask themselves what if in a negative way, But

42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: David Goggins asks himself, what if, in a positive way,

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: what if I don't quit? What if I crossed the

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: finish line? What if I finished this race? And he said,

45
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: the answer to that question causes him to take one

46
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: more step and keep going, and keep going and keep going.

47
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: That's an example of how you can train your brain

48
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: to ask useful questions when you're facing a hard circumstance.

49
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing about this is all of us can

50
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: do this, and when we do this, it will drastically

51
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: increase what you're able to get out of life. And

52
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: that really is what my work is all about. The

53
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: first kind of question I want to ask you is

54
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,119
Speaker 1: really all about you learning to adopt a new way

55
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: of thinking. Before I share the kind of questions that

56
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you need to be asking yourself, I first want to

57
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: point out why this is important. As I said a

58
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: minute ago, we have a tendency to ask ourselves questions

59
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: that aren't useful. Those kind of questions are investigative of

60
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: the problem, but we don't realize that when you investigate

61
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: the problem, all you learned about is the problem and

62
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: we become experts on the problem, but that does nothing

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: for your solution. For example, I'll use a personal example,

64
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: I am currently on a fitness journey. I want to

65
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: take my health more seriously. I want to get my

66
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: weight under control. I want to get some health markers addressed. Now,

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: if I were to ask myself questions like how did

68
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: I get so far out of shape, I'm just going

69
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: to learn about the problem. But if I can shift

70
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: my thinking towards how will I get into shape? Then

71
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I learn about the solution. Then I learned about the

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: actions that I can control. I can't control what happened

73
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: to get me to the circumstance, but I can absolutely

74
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: control what happens next. So the first thing you have

75
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: to do when you're adopting a new way of thinking

76
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: is to first ask yourself the kind of questions that

77
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: help you identify what you would like your future to

78
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: look like. And it sounds like what are my best

79
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: hopes for my life? This will trigger you to dream

80
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: and imagine and do all of the things that is

81
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: beautiful about life. Adulthood is an anti dream experience. When

82
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: you're a kid, your imagination is powerful and runs wild.

83
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: You go outside, you play with your friends, and you

84
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: pretend to be famous athletes, or you pretend to be

85
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: you know whatever game you're playing. I remember me and

86
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: my friends used to pretend we were in the military.

87
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: We were pretending that we were rambow. We would pretend

88
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: that we were famous baseball players. And in a way,

89
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: you're dreaming of a future where those things are your reality.

90
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: But in adulthood, reality sets in and we stop dreaming.

91
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: But I think it's really important that you continue the

92
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: ability to dream. So I want you to ask yourself,

93
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: what are my best hopes for my life? What is

94
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the version of me that is in line with me

95
00:06:45,839 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: functioning at my very best to I firmly believe in

96
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: the power of envisioning and focusing on the life you desire,

97
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: rather than dwelling on past obstacles or setbacks. This question

98
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: is seemingly simple. What do you want? It doesn't need

99
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: to be complicated. It could be as straightforward as securing

100
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: your favorite seat at your neighborhood cafe, or something grander

101
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: like driving the car of your dreams. What do you want?

102
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: Take a moment to truly envision yourself achieving that desire,

103
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: Allow yourself to fully experience the emotions that come with

104
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: having it. Feel the joy, the excitement, and the satisfaction

105
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: of obtaining what you desire.

106
00:09:04,920 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: U USA.

107
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: These questions help you create the life you want to live.

108
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: These questions help you dream about the life you want

109
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: to live, and they shift your thinking from problem to actions.

110
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: The next kind of question I want to talk to

111
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: you about is being outcome led. Now, a lot of

112
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: us are led by problems and fears, but I want

113
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: you to be led by your outcome. I want you

114
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: to be led by your dreams. I want you to

115
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: make decisions based upon who you want to be and

116
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: the kind of life you want to live. If there's

117
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: one lesson I've learned more than any other in my

118
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: years of practicing as a psychotherapist, it's that the people

119
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: who focus on being led by their outcomes are the

120
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: ones who get the most out of life. Using myself

121
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: as an example, the outcome I want to achieve is

122
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: increase physical fitness, so that will influence the choices I

123
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: make throughout the day, what things I eat, what time

124
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I eat them, my sleep pattern, my exercise pattern, And

125
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I don't want to do

126
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: any of it. I would much rather eat whatever I want,

127
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: whenever I want, and not go to the gym And

128
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: do you know large amounts of cardio and lift weights.

129
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: I do it because it's significantly in line with what

130
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to create. This will trigger your discipline, and

131
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: discipline is more important than motivation because motive wanes, right,

132
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: motivation wanes, So on the day when you go see

133
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: your doctor and the doctor tells you there are all

134
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: these signs present that let me know as a doctor

135
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: that you're at risk of having a heart attack or

136
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: a stroke. When you walk out of the doctor's office,

137
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: you're so loaded with fear and angst. You're highly motivated.

138
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: But after a few days that motivation wanes and people

139
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: go right back to their old behavior. This is a

140
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: time and time and time tested thing. But discipline means

141
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the activity even while I'm not motivated.

142
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the activity even when I don't

143
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: want to. I'm going to do the activity because the

144
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: activity needs to be done in order for me to

145
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: achieve my aim. I went to the gym last night

146
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 1: and worked out, not because I wanted to, but because

147
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: I had to in order to stay in line with

148
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: the aim I'm trying to achieve. With the outcome I'm

149
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: trying to achieve When you focus on an outcome, you

150
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: trigger your discipline, and the best way to do it

151
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: is to pay attention to what signs are present that

152
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: lets you know you're living your life based on your outcome.

153
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: How would you notice those signs being present? How would

154
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: your best friend notice? How would your spouse or partner notice?

155
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: How would your children notice? When you live your life

156
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: based on an outcome, people see it. They see you

157
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: living differently, talking differently, eating differently, exercising differently. They see it,

158
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: and those are the kind of questions that will help

159
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: you to do it. So I want to ask you

160
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, what would I notice as I started

161
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: to live my life based upon the outcomes that I

162
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: want to achieve?

163
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: It is in.

164
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: The inding.

165
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: What sacrifices are needed to create the changes that will

166
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: lead to the life I want. It's important that these

167
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: sacrifices aren't overwhelming or drastic. Think of them as manageable adjustments.

168
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: Consider this, what is the first step? Identify that initial

169
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: achievable step towards your goal. It's about making small, intentional

170
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: changes that build momentum and set you on the path

171
00:16:45,320 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: to the life you envision. What is your first step? Now,

172
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about discovering your purpose. You know,

173
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: another really important lesson and that I've learned in my

174
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: years of practicing as a psychotherapist is people who live

175
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: in their purpose also tend to get the most out

176
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: of life. You know, if you live your life without intentionality,

177
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: life kind of happens to you before you know it.

178
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: You went to college and majored in something that your

179
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: parents told you to major in. You got a job

180
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 1: that you didn't really want just because everybody told you

181
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: it was safe. But you've got to live your life

182
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: based upon what your purpose is. And there's one simple

183
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: question that will help you discover what your purpose is,

184
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: and that is what am I really excited to do today?

185
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: And I don't mean like an action necessarily, but I

186
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: mean that thing that literally sets your spirit on fire

187
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: with enthusiasm. If you want to discover your purpose, you

188
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: have to follow your enthusiasm because your enthusiasm will always

189
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: lead you to what your purpose is. Enthusiasm can't be faked,

190
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: it can't be pretended. Your enthusiasm will always guide you

191
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: to what things you are purposeful about. They will always

192
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: guide you to what things you are built to do.

193
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: They will always guide you to your purpose for life.

194
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: Your enthusiasm matters, So ask yourself what am I duced

195
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: about doing today? I learned early on when I was

196
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 1: in a really dark, difficult place in my life. I

197
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: was a marine biology major in college, and I realized

198
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm not living a life that's producing joy or happiness,

199
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and I needed to do something about that. And I

200
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: asked myself, what do I want to to do with

201
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: my life? And I had come from such a difficult place.

202
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to spend my life in service. I had

203
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: enthusiasm about trying to help people overcome the kind of

204
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: challenges I'd been faced with. And when I realized that

205
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: was my enthusiasm, I thought about how do I do that.

206
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: I immediately went and switched my major from marine biology

207
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: to psychology, and that put me on the paths of

208
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: becoming a psychotherapist. And I've been enthused every day since. Now.

209
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: It's not to say every single day was easy, because

210
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: that's certainly not the case, but it is to say

211
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: every single day I woke up with my purpose. And

212
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: if there was one gift I could give every single

213
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: person on earth, it would be a gift of their purpose.

214
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: So ask yourself every day, what am I enthused to

215
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: do with my life today? And that will always lead

216
00:20:58,080 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: you to your purpose. Stood, this is not just a

217
