U Can Do It with Michael McGinnis: Inspiring Growth ~ Igniting Potential

We have made the choice to grow, to realize our full potential, and to make the most out of this life. Our journey began in the Personal Growth stage, where we focused on identifying and rectifying unhealthy behaviors, beliefs, perceptions, and attitudes that led to negative consequences and patterns of pain and suffering. Using various tools, we have worked to develop our self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth by creating new, healthy beliefs that drive positive behaviors and result in more favorable outcomes (ABC Model). As a result, we begin to appreciate the person we see in the mirror. We then consider who we want to be as we continue to grow. By developing greater levels of self-awareness, we can keep our behaviors and thoughts in check, allowing us to stand productively on our own and experience increased contentment and happiness. Recognizing the need for continual growth, we work on developing the beliefs, values, perceptions, and attitudes necessary to become who we want to be. This often involves taking leaps of faith as we undergo our personal metamorphosis. With newfound courage and beliefs, we take new risks and make significant strides forward. We feel elated to be on the path of personal growth, self-discovery, and possibly enlightenment. The key to maintaining this momentum is to continue moving forward and committing to never going back. This podcast draws on the wisdom of Dr. Wayne Dyer and his teachings on "How to Move Forward and Let Go." We will review and discuss nine essential steps to inspire your growth and ignite your potential. Each step is profound and crucial to mastering your growth and achieving your full potential.

Taking a Leap of Faith - The Importance of Beliefs, Courage, and Taking Risk

One of the core tenets for developing your life mastery is, “In order to master life, we must learn how to master change”. Growth requires change, otherwise we remain stagnant. And change, particularly when it comes to changing ourselves, is difficult. Part of mastering change is learning how to take leaps of faith as we leave what we have known, our prior self, and venture into the new and unknown as we pursue our dreams and become our full potential. Taking a leap of faith requires that we develop a new level of courage to be more comfortable with taking risks, and a belief in ourselves and often some form of greater aspect of life. Let’s look at what is often necessary to make major changes in our life. Remember, growth is all about changing our behaviors. This is not easy to do. To change our behavior, we must learn how to overcome our fears. People often choose to stay the way they are, even though they are not happy, because this is what they are comfortable with, and it avoids their fear of the unknown and change. As the image shown here portrays, we begin with a vision of what we want to be. This provides us with a goal, a target to aim for. As we identify the needed changes, we must develop new levels of courage and a belief that supports making the needed changes. These are necessary since we must take risks as we develop new behaviors that are uncomfortable at first. And then armed with these elements we find that inspiration to make the leap of faith.

MENTAL FITNESS Quieting the Negative Voices in our Head with Guest Rachel Karu

By using a tree as a metaphor for the growth process, we recognize that our capacity to attain our full potential stems initially from nurturing ourselves from the very seed from which we originated. It involves cultivating that seed into a flourishing, resilient, strong, and beautiful living life form, regardless of where our seed was planted or the early storms it had to weather. This is the first stage of growth, referred to as Personal Growth. Personal Growth, akin to cultivating our root system is understanding and cleaning out our subconscious. Here, we strive to foster a robust and healthy self-esteem, build confidence, and enhance self-awareness. Simultaneously, we learn to take control of our lives rather than succumbing to a victim mentality. With this foundation in place, we become resilient, much like a tree that withstands storms, droughts, and adverse weather conditions. We learn to stand comfortably and confidently on our own two feet. Key elements of our growth in this stage relates to growing our Self-Awareness, developing our Emotional Intelligence, along with our Mental Fitness. This session will focus on a proven method to improve our Mental Fitness!! WHAT IS MENTAL FITNESS?? Mental fitness is the capacity to respond to life’s challenges with a positive rather than a negative mindset. We all have a negativity bias to survive and those negative voices in our head tell us “I’m not good enough, I’m an imposter, what if I’m wrong, I will fail, or what will people think?” Sound familiar?
Research shows that only 20% of people hit peak mental performance. The question is, how can we be part of the 20%? Many of us have intentions for the best, and yet time, knowledge, accountability, and/or motivation hold us back especially when we don’t build lasting habits. Many of us are ruled by our "saboteurs", especially since the pandemic impacted many of us by living in a constant state of fear. What if there was a way to enjoy success while experiencing positive emotions such as empathy, curiosity, creativity, passion, and purpose? Well, the good news is, that you can, by learning how to access your inner Sage! Build your emotional intelligence by learning about Positive Intelligence, a powerful framework based on factor analysis and grounded in neuroscience, to shift you from your Saboteur to your Sage by building your mental muscle fitness.
