Choose What Energizes You Through Mindfulness with Sarah Steckler

Energy management is the unsung hero when we’re searching for better “time management” because when we have the same amount of time, we need to pay attention to what we do in that time and our energy is directly linked to that. This week, episode 106 of the Positively Living Podcast is about choosing what energizes you through mindfulness.
In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest Sarah Steckler shares the power our thoughts have and she provides actionable steps you can take right now to integrate this idea of intentional, energy driven productivity that leaves you feeling both grounded and connected to yourself.
Sarah and I cover the following topics:
  • An intentional productivity practice that keeps your energy, capacity, and intentions in mind that fills the gaps where the ideas drawn from corporate hustle were lacking.
  • How being present in the moment directly influences your life.
  • Paying attention to what drives, drains, and produces your energy.
  • Letting go of guilt by getting curious.
  • Journaling to do a daily structured brain dump so you can intentionally capture your ideas and hold space for your thoughts.
  • 1 question and 1 action that will help us identify our energy management needs and find the clarity necessary to focus and be truly productive.
It is important to remember that our mindset constantly needs tending and that by being present and noticing our energy, we can begin to restructure our life to work in this ebb and flow and avoid burnout.

Growing within your business truly comes down to your mindset. You need to get curious and get clear on what you’re doing and WHY you’re doing it and journaling creates the safe and sacred space to answer these questions for yourself. This week, episode 109 of the Positively Living Podcast is about strategic journaling for business growth!

In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest Lisa Latimer shares the importance of increasing your self-awareness so you can stop unintentional self-sabotage and she offers actionable steps you can take right now to use journaling strategically to move the needle in your business.

Lisa and I cover the following topics:

  • How journaling helped Lisa through her toxic relationships and weight loss journey and eventually lead her to landing clients in her business.
  • The ways in which self-sabotage might discretely show up in your life.
  • How journaling works, why it works, and why you might be struggling with it.
  • THE single most effective journal prompt you can start with today.

Journaling is not a one-size-fits-all practice. It is something that is truly personal and should be tailored to what fits you best.

Your Mental Health is More Important than Productivity

Positively Living: Do Less, Live More... Breathe Easier.

play

04/15/22 • 48 min

There is nothing more important than your mental health; not your projects, your career, your relationships, nothing. This week, on a special bonus episode of the Positively Living Podcast we’re talking about your mental health being more important than your productivity!

In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest Alesia Galati and I share the trends we are seeing with clients being urged towards burnout, despite accepting the “freedom from the hustle” mindset, and reminding you that your wellbeing always comes first.

Alesia and I cover the following topics:

  • The trends we are seeing that are leading to burnout, the reasons behind these trends, and how to protect yourself from them.
  • That initial energetic exchange you have with someone, either as a coach or a client, that’s going to set the precedent for the type of relationship you have with that person.
  • Avoiding the comparison trap by figuring out and sticking to what works for you.
  • Understanding that rest is just as productive as anything else and your value is not determined by the amount you do.
  • That self-care is more than taking a spa day; it is setting boundaries and maintaining a lifestyle that keeps burnout at bay.

I want you to dream big, to create, and love what you do, but in the end, you HAVE to prioritize yourself and that means acknowledging what you need and protecting it.

Easy and Effective Self-Care Practices with Daniela Wolfe

Positively Living: Do Less, Live More... Breathe Easier.

05/09/22 • 31 min

Self-care has become an overused buzzword that people relate to these big things like spa days or bubble baths, but what it comes down to is the little things you do consistently throughout your day to recharge and reenergize yourself. This week, episode 104 of the Positively Living Podcast is about easy and effective self-care practices!

In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest, Daniela Wolfe shares the importance of practicing self-care as a long-term and gradual practice to make yourself feel good over time and she shares actionable steps you can take right now to simplify your self-care to feel good and prevent burnout.

Daniela and I cover the following topics:

  • What self-care is and, just as importantly, what it is NOT.
  • Why we resist it or take it for granted when we do practice it.
  • 3 easy and effective steps we can take to implement self-care practices into our daily routines.
  • How to use habit stacking to combine self-care and productivity (Lisa’s favorites!)
  • Using boundaries to give yourself freedom.

Self-care is not optional, it’s essential, and it’s the tiny steps that make the biggest difference without us even realizing it.
