Live By Design Podcast | Ditch Overwhelm, Take Imperfect Action, & Pursue Your Goals With Confidence

“Who doesn’t love spreading a little bit of joy and gratitude? And who doesn’t love to be on the receiving end of that too?”

You may remember Garciela Moore who was on the podcast earlier this week talking about hope, joy, and gratitude. Well, after our conversation I received the sweetest, kindest thank you note in the mail from her! She included a few little gifts tucked into the envelope and it was such a sweet, unexpected surprise and I was so grateful for her thoughtfulness!

After receiving Graciela’s kind gesture, it got me thinking about thank you cards and why they make us feel warm and loved as both the sender and the recipient.

Join me today in this mini episode as I talk about the science and the emotions behind expressing gratitude, as well as a three-step formula on how to write your own gratitude notes.

Are you ready to listen in and learn how to express gratitude? Let’s do this!

[2022] You DO Have the Power to Cultivate Happiness - Here’s How and Why!

The first Monday of each month The Live By Design Collective meets for Growth Night, and it’s one of my favorite nights! In May we took a deep dive into happiness, and not toxic positivity but real, true happiness - and our conversation was so valuable that I wanted to share some of the insights we covered with you too!

So join me today as we chat about:

The three categories of happiness: pleasure, meaning, engagement
The six ways we experience happiness: contentment, gratitude, pride, excitement, joy, and optimism
Why studying and intentionally cultivating happiness matters (hint: it’s really good for your health!)
What the 40% Solution, by Sonja Lyubomirsky, teaches us about the agency we have in creating and experiencing happiness
And finally, how to cultivate happiness starting today (and for free!)

And when you’re done, grab my free Happiness Bingo card to take your intentional living journey to the next level (and have some serious fun while you’re at it!).

[2022] Mindset: What it is, Why it Matters, & How to Shift Towards Growth

“Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.” verywellmind.com

If you have spent any amount of time online then you have probably heard about mindset. Sometimes mindset can feel a little intangible which is why I took a deep dive this month in the LBD Collective into learning what exactly mindset means and why it does actually matter.

I like to equate the idea of mindset to going to the doctor’s office for an eye exam. Your doctor puts different lenses in front of your eyes, and you have to say which prescription is best. Each set of lenses may be marginally different, but you have to figure out which one is the best fit.

And I feel as if mindset is similar to those lenses. Your mindset is the lens through which you view the world, and you have the ability to shift them until you find the one that best benefits you.

In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about the six most studied mindsets paying particular attention to the growth vs fixed mindset, and how these mindsets exist on a continuum. Then we finish with how to move towards a growth mindset, why it matters, and the five different ways to shift your mindset going forward.
