41. CONTEXT IS KING!

Explicit content warning

09/22/18 • 41 min

This week we welcome a very special guest to the GYST Life Podcast.. Heather Spurrell is one of our closest friends and a member of our three person accountability group which we fondly refer to as the Unmessables.

Do you have people in your life who love you enough to call you on your shit, support you and praise you at the appropriate times? That is who Heather is for us and that is why we created the Unmessables!

We can’t believe it has taken us this long to share her brilliance with our listeners. Episode 41 is a powerful conversation about what is possible when we choose to acknowledge the elephant in the room during our communication.

We discuss what can be possible when your intentions are clear and thought out. What would life look like if we shift our context from “SHOULDS” and “HAVE TOS” and focus on what we can control to have things work rather than MAKE them work.

It all boils down to tolerance. We look at areas of life that are not working, and we discuss circumstances we choose to tolerate which produce predictable results. Once we start to examine areas of tolerance, we gain access to new action thus producing new results.

Enjoy the episode and we look forward to hearing your feedback, questions and breakthroughs, [email protected]

Question of the Day:

What are you tolerating?

Why are you still tolerating it?

40. One extra push up!

This week David and Vern celebrate new Milestones in reaching episode 40 and our first listener email. When we first started talking about creating a podcast, I didn’t actually think we’d ever do it. And that is how anything worth doing has ever been created! It all starts with a thought!

In this episode, we talk about small wins and consistent improvements that compound. All too often we focus on total transformations that are not sustainable and we wonder why we fail.

We think about a thing we would love to do and before we even finish sharing what that thing is we stop ourselves with “YEAH BUT”.

How quickly we forget, great leaders and “successful” people we follow and admire, didn’t start much different than where you are right now! So, what is that first step in creating your new possible future? It could be as simple as a google search, a conversation or a request.

We don’t have to make a massive commitment from day one. We can take small steps that compound and allow us to discover what is possible or if we are actually in love with that thing!

So, what is your first step?

Questions to ask yourself as you’re discovering your story and getting back to your desire to wholeness

Where do I feel out of integrity (not whole and complete) with myself?
What is keeping me from feeling whole and complete?
What important feelings am I not letting into my awareness?
Where in my life am I not telling the full truth?
Where in my life have I not kept my promises?
In my relationship w____ what do I need to say or do in order to be complete and whole?

The types of questions you can spend your whole life asking/reasking as you’re discovering and growing. These are changing daily if you’re present

Question of the Day:

What is it that you are really interested in taking the next step on and haven’t yet?

What is that step you haven’t taken?

42. Times, They be Changin!

This week David and Vern have some visitors who want to help us make a difference in the world and contribute to YOU!

We are in creation mode here at the GYST Life as we realized after starting this journey, this is more than a podcast. The GYST is a way of life nah a way of being.

We are clear, nothing happens without community. We have shared what we are up to at The GYST Life with our community and these brave souls have joined our Tribe of ripple makers..

Affer taking a few minutes to settle in, these podcast newbs hide it well as they create a powerful conversation about responsibility, commitment, relationships and love. We talk about what it takes to have that all work in a powerful way, while leaving room for growth and reflection.

There are no hard and fast rules after all, this is your life and you get to say how it goes. You get to check in on those commitments and make new ones that work because you are changing as life changes.

Enjoy the episode and don’t forget to write in to [email protected] we want to hear from you!
