The Mindset Mentor

Welcome to today's episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast where today I'm going to be sharing 3 steps that anyone can follow to quickly and easily start having better communication with everyone in your life. Communication is one of the most important skills that you as a human being can have, for deepening your connection with other people. I believe that open, honest, and sincere communication IS the #1 key to maintaining any relationship in your life. The problem is... We aren't really taught growing up the HOW to communicate. So then we spend so much time, and heartache in our adult lives suffering through the discovery process of how to communicate better with those around us. That's why today I'm giving you the 3 steps to becoming a better communicator coming from a place of LUV. (Yes, I spelt that right. Let me show you what I mean...) 1. L- Listen. Listen with no intention of responding with your opinion, or your input in any sort of way. Empathetic presence is the act of being fully present with another person in more than just a physical way. This means setting aside your own thoughts, judgements, etc... and being entirely "with" the person you're talking to. This creates a place of safe space for other people so that they feel like they can communicate with you, and give you a chance to listen at all. 2. U- Understand. In the same way that you can convey that you're listening through non verbal cues, you can also do the same thing when it comes to understanding. Reflect and Repeat. You can use verbal cues like, "Okay... If I understand you correctly, you're saying...is that right?" BOOM. This is just one example of how to communicate that you're trying to understand. 3. V- Validate. More than anything else right now, everyone we are communicating with would like to feel VALID when they're communicating with us. Perception is reality for everyone right now. Meaning that we are all looking at the world through the lens of our own unique abilities to perceive it. Here's what's KEY here: Validating someone doesn't have to mean you agree with them, but it does mean acknowledging that someone's opinion is valid. You don't have to argue, you don't have to fix, etc... Sometimes all a person needs is validation. Here's a BONUS question that can help you out in your relationships. Ask this question when someone's expressing something to you... "Do you want my help with this, or do you just want a hug?" Every single person on this planet is doing the best with what they have. We all just want to be understood. And the way for you to improve your relationships with everyone you interact with... seek to understand. It's a two way street my friends.

Today we’re going to talk about how you can start mastering TRUE self love and I’m going to give you a few secrets that I think you really need to know if you’ve been struggling with this. Now, when we talk about self-love, it's so much more than just gazing in the mirror and reciting affirmations (although, don't get me wrong, that's important too)... I’m not telling you the same ole things you’re probably used to hearing about self love… After all, if those things were really the solution, then you wouldn’t still be struggling would you? That’s why today we’re going to dive deep into what it is, but also what it most definitely is NOT. First things first—let's bust some myths. Self-love isn't about taking the easy way out, my friends. It's not found at the bottom of a wine glass or in the comfort of skipping the gym. Sometimes, sure, those things are fine. But here's the kicker: Real self-love often means pushing yourself to do the things that are genuinely good for you, even when you'd rather not. Yes, it's tough. I won't sugarcoat it. But I really truly believe that pushing yourself, and choosing discipline over convenience, is one of the most profound ways to love yourself deeply. In this episode, we'll unpack the essence of self-love: What it truly is and the practices that can transform your relationship with yourself. It's a journey to a place where you become your own biggest ally and advocate. So, are you ready to discover the secret to mastering self-love?

Welcome to today’s episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast, where today I’m going to be talking to you about why you may be feeling “lazy” lately… and don’t worry! This is not an episode where I’m talking about fitness, nutrition, etc… I’m not here to beat you up like that. I’m going to explain to you why you may not have the ENERGY to do the things you want to do or need to do, and offer you some tips and strategies that you can follow to get out of a rut. Honestly, just to keep things simple… What I believe causes most people to feel a lack of energy, enthusiasm, or desire… is when you are living a life that is out of alignment with who you are, and who you want to be. When you’re out of alignment with your purpose, that also means you’re out of alignment with the universe. (Scary thought, huh?) I believe that the universe, or whatever god you believe in… comes thru us and communicates with us thru the way of energy. Every single thing in the universe is made of energy. If you are feeling exhausted everyday, and completely drained of your energy… here me loud and clear: You are not doing what you are meant to do. However… there is a difference between a good and a bad type of exhaustion. A good exhaustion is when you’re doing something you love, that took your energy all day and you are tired… but your heart is full. You feel extremely fulfilled inside. A bad exhaustion is when you come home tired, drained, and you’re already dreading your tomorrow because you know that you’ve gotta repeat that same purposeless pattern. In this episode, I’ll help you understand how to recognize the difference in these two when it comes to your life, and I’ll teach you what you can do about it to make sure that you get yourself back in alignment with the life you are meant to be living if you want to be truly fulfilled. 

Welcome to today’s episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast, where today… I’m going to share with you what I believe is the best possible thing you could do for your future, starting today. If there’s anything that we can all agree on about AI, it’s that we knew it was coming eventually. If you really think about it, there once was a time where people rode horses to get everywhere… Then they developed cars… and planes… etc. VCRs turned into DVD players, which turned into internet streaming… Change is inevitable. The one thing that never changes, is that things will change. In this episode I’m not here to talk about AI, but I am here to use it as a reference point to help you understand why it’s more crucial than ever before to start focusing on yourself, developing yourself both personally and professionally, and start getting comfortable with change. It’s time to learn to adapt. I’m not here to put fear into you, and I will give you some great ideas in this episode on what you can start doing right away to make sure that you’re not “left behind” as the world keeps moving forward. We’re all on this journey together.
