In episode 44 of Thoughts. Action. Success Kirstie talks about Respond Don’t React – Good and bad things happen to everybody in the course of living a life. It’s not the events that determine the quality of your life, it is your response. The key to living your best life is being in charge of your responses but that requires effort and planning.
“I think I can,’ puffed the little locomotive, and put itself in front of the great heavy train. As it went on the little engine kept bravely puffing faster and faster, ‘I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.’ Then as it neared the top of the grade that had so discouraged the larger engines it went more slowly, but still kept saying. ‘I – think – I – can, I – think – I - can.’ It reached the top by dint of brave effort and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself.
‘I thought I could, I thought I could.” – from The Little Engine That Could by Watty Piper.
It’s well known that humans are creatures of habit. Habitual thoughts are the precursors that drive emotions, so if you want to change aspects of your life that are not working for you, you need to start by changing the thoughts behind them. In this episode of Thoughts. Action. Success I am going to share with you what I have discovered from five specialists who have helped me move on from unhelpful thinking to become the person I was meant to be.
Hello gorgeous friend and welcome to another episode of Thoughts.Action.Success I am very excited to talk to you as always. What we are talking about in this episode is how if we want to make real change in our lives we need to break down our own defences, but tearing down those carefully constructed walls takes planning, dedication and skill.
Growth and achievement require change – they go hand in hand. While change is what everyone seeks as they embark on a journey of self-growth and improvement, so many of us seem to stumble when change comes along. Why is it that when you’re actively seeking to change your life, you find yourself defensive, aggressive and falling back into old habits? How do you go about breaking down those defences to ensure you can continue to grow throughout life and achieve the goals you set for yourself?
For so many of us, discipline is a dirty word, conjuring up images of toil and labour as we strive toward impossible goals which we inevitably abandon. But discipline doesn’t need to be about deprivation and drudgery. If you are prepared to view it differently, then it can become your ally helping you to live your best life. The Dalai Lama even goes as far as to say that “a disciplined mind leads to happiness, while an undisciplined mind leads to suffering”. So perhaps it’s time to become a disciple of discipline.
Positive thinking is preached far and wide as a desirable goal these days but what does it mean to be genuinely positive and how do you achieve it?
Join Kirstie in this episode as she delves deeper into this concept and shares that if we are busy trying to manipulate our feelings because of wanting to feel good, then we miss out on the real contentment that flows from recognising the essential "rightness" of events in life.
The life you live today is a result of the choices you made yesterday.
Are there things in your life, small or large, that you'd like to achieve but don't feel you have enough motivation, confidence or skills? Perhaps you believe achieving them will help you become healthier, happier, more satisfied, inspired or fulfilled.
Are you passionate about living your most powerful life? Is there something incredible you've thought of which, if achieved would leave a legacy behind you, something you could look back on and be really proud of?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then you will want to listen to this episode of Thoughts. Action. Success where Kirstie shares how to consciously craft the life you want through goal setting.
To achieve anything in life you need to have a plan. Join Kirstie in this episode of Thought. Action. Success where she shares her step-by-step guide to developing your own personal plan to create the life you want.
Join Kirstie on this episode as she delves into what is your personality? Numerous psychological methods have been devised to categorise the various personality types. Yet we know that personality is unique and evolving. So in the end, what exactly is your personality and how can you use awareness of it to progress your life journey?
Discovering your talents and finding how to use them can be a challenging, but rewarding, essential step to living the life that you want.
Intricate to the journey of life is discovering what your true talents are and how you can use them in your everyday life. Perhaps you have a knack for communicating difficult concepts or love helping other people work through their problems; or do you get a buzz every time you cook food for the people you love? Exploring what your talents are, and then pursuing them, is a sure-fire way to living an authentic life.
The cornerstone of your personal development is you - but how do you know who really are?
When it comes to being you, authenticity is something that we often struggle with. It is too easy to be caught up by who you think you should be, who others want you to be and attempts to be a conglomeration of those you admire and even envy.
In this episode join Kirstie as she shares the answer to the question - Who are you really - and how do you work it out when there are so many factors that influence the answer? How do you cut through the opinions and expectations of others, the falsehood of materialism and Western aspirations of ownership and status to work out the authentic you? How do you become brave enough to look deeply inside to discover your "self", warts and all?
Is the fact that you would like to start having a better life but just don't know how making your life difficult... maybe even miserable?
Does it seem like you’ve tried everything in your power to figure it out, and yet, despite your best intentions, you’re still plagued with:
• Not knowing how to even get started
• Not understanding even where to start with meditation
• Not knowing how to ask the Universe
If this describes you, then you are in luck today...
First, you are NOT alone! It may seem like it sometimes, but not knowing how to get started with the law of Attraction is far more common than you’d think.
I ought to know because I’ve been in the same spot before...
If you are experiencing hard times in your life, it is very important that you become familiar with the term “law of attraction,” or LOA. The law of attraction states that you are basically responsible for all the circumstances of your life, whether good or bad. You draw everything into your life that exists. You have the power to create positive circumstances in your life, you just have to know how to harness the power of the law of attraction.
In this episode, I will share with you exactly what you need to do to finally be a success with LOA!
Too many of us try to pretend to be somebody that we're not. Maybe we're trying to impress people. Maybe we're trying to fool ourselves into thinking that we are completely different people.
The sad part? Too many of us are not aware that this is happening.
Too many people are trying to be something they're not, and this grinds them down.
They keep pushing forward, but ultimately, they still don't measure up.
Regardless of how hard they try, and regardless of how much effort they put in, they simply aren't happy, nor are they fulfilled.
In this episode of Thoughts. Action. Success Kirstie will share how you can live a more meaningful and contented life by embracing your flaws!
If you are sick of not feeling productive, energetic, positive, feeling demotivated throughout the day, and not accomplishing your goals in life... then you have to pay attention to this.
You don’t need another motivational speech to lift your spirit up.
In fact, the real problem is NOT that you are not motivated.
The real reason why you are not being productive, energetic, positive, and not accomplishing your daily goals... lies in how you start your day.
Let me explain...
Just imagine you are reading a book. The very first page of the book will set the impression on how the book is going to be.
If the first page of the book is written poorly, you can bet the rest of the book will boring and not worth your time reading.
Similarly, that’s just how your day will going to be.
If you have a hectic morning, unplanned, and feeling all grumpy...
... the rest of your day will be this way and it will be hard to get it fixed.
Which is why it’s so important for you to conquer your morning right.
And today...
Are you feeling like your fears are stopping you?
Fear of public speaking? Scared of heights? Whatever it may be you need to listen to this episode.
You will discover:
and much, much more!
