What is the meaning of life? Countless of books have been written about this beautiful subject. All the more reason to ask this question to complete strangers on the street instead of the all-knowing gurus on a pillow ;) In this article, I’ve added a couple video clips of mini interviews I did. To each interview I linked a pitfall, 5 in total. Let’s see if the answers from strangers and the related pitfalls will be insightful! https://lnkd.in/edg2wj-Y #meaningfullife #meaningoflife #meaning #purposeinlife #purpose

James Clear, the renowned author and speaker, shares his secret to building long-term habits in a recent interview. According to him, the "Two Minute Rule" is the key to implementing habits into our daily lives, both professionally and personally. The rule is simple: break down any new habit or task into a short task that can be accomplished in two minutes or less. For example, instead of committing to reading 30 books a year, start with reading just one page. By taking this approach, we can trick our brains into establishing the habit, making it easier to optimize and scale up later. Clear acknowledges that critics may question this strategy, but he emphasizes the importance of taking the first step, no matter how small it may be. The two-minute rule helps push back against perfectionism, fear, and over-planning, which can often become a form of procrastination. So, if you're struggling to build new habits, remember that sometimes deciding to start instead of planning to start is the shift you need. Try the "Two Minute Rule" and see how it works for you!

Your body is like a computer that you were never given the manual to or taught how to use. 👄 OPEN YOUR MOUTH: Did you know for you to talk to yourself, you need to clench your jaw? That’s why chronic overthinkers have such strong jawlines 👀 LOOK UP: This is all about eye patterns. For you to access your kineasthetic (feelings) or your auditory digital (talking to yourself), you need to look down. By looking up, you force yourself into visual and it’s hard to have an inner voice, let alone an inner critic while accessing those eye patterns 🧘🏻♀️ SIGH: Especially effective before a big presentation or an interview. It tricks your brain into thinking it’s over before you have even started. You are reverse-engineering something our body does naturally and forcing it beforehand so you can use it to your own benefit #lifehacks #lifehack #lifecoach #lifecoaching

How do you handle “stink’n thinking”? You know the kind—you wake up with a big presentation, job interview, or new challenge ahead (or even just a regular old work day) and your mind is flooded with thoughts like, “I can’t do this,” “It’s not worth it,” or “I’m not (fill in the blank) enough” For me? I’ve got a secret weapon: 5 powerful prompts that completely shift my mindset when I start spiraling. Here they are: ➡ What limiting beliefs are coming up for me? ➡ What benefit do I get from believing these thoughts? ➡ What do these limiting thoughts prevent me from doing? ➡ What can I do if I don’t believe these thoughts? ➡ Change each limiting thought to a positive affirmation. Sound simple? Trust me, it works. I dive deeper into how to use these prompts in my latest video, Morning Reframe https://lnkd.in/eVxvBksr #StrengthsBasedLeadership, #MindsetShift, #LeadWithConfidence, #PersonalGrowthJourney, #OvercomingSelfDoubt = Click the link for a full walkthrough!

An advice to "Afraid Me": Trust your instincts. Everytime I am asked to speak before an audience, doubts pop up: I am: ❌️not an expert, will they listen to me? ❌️less experienced, what if I mess up? ❌️being stared at, will their gaze eat me? ❌️being judged, are they laughing at me? A pattern I picked up from these thoughts: The shift to negative assumptions is automatic when making personal decisions. So I decided to reverse answer the questions: ✅️They will listen to me, if I convince them ✅️I have practiced enough to clear mess-ups ✅️They are just looking up to me to learn more ✅️If they laugh at me, I will laugh with them The stage is mine today nothing can fail me, until I myself don't. This helped me project enough confidence & win over inner fears. P.S- What do you tell your inner-self to beat those bad fears? 💡
