 #52: CONFIDENCE WHEN IT COUNTS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 30:40

  Confidence, when it counts, is confidence that thrives even under pressure.    CONFIDENCE WHEN IT COUNTS EPISODE #52     Get Connected with Kelly: www.kellyfillnow.com www.fillnowcoaching.com   Kelly's Bio: I spent my childhood going from morning gymnastics meets, to afternoon soccer practices, and then to softball games under the lights. During high school, I trained at Van der Meer tennis academy in Hilton Head Island with my twin sister and older brother. I received a scholarship to Davidson College and played number one singles and number one doubles with my twin for four straight years. While in college, I discovered a love for running and joined the cross country team. I led Davidson College to their first-ever Southern Conference title and finished my career as a 10 time All-Conference Honoree in tennis and cross country while graduating cum laude. After graduating, I had the opportunity to compete for Duke University, then ranked #1 in the nation. I finished All-Region in cross country while the Blue Devils went on to win ACC’s, Regionals, and placed third at NCAA’s. A few years after college, I stumbled into triathlon and finished 3rd in my first triathlon, despite not knowing how to swim. I won my first half ironman and then qualified for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships in my first Ironman in 10:16. I went on to podium at my first two Hawaii Ironman appearances, became a Duathlon Age Group World Champion, a Duathlon National Age Group Champion, and set the American amateur Ironman record in my third Ironman in 9:29:49. I decided to turn professional after numerous amateur titles to challenge myself against the best in the world. I am so grateful for my supporters and sponsors as I chase after my dreams. Thank you for taking part in my journey to be the best that I can be. Favorites: Sport: Tennis Hobbies: Hiking, cooking without recipes, reading, hanging out with my nieces, fro yo dates with friends A place to train: Davidson College cross country trails, Mount Baldy, Mt Lemmon (as long as I get a cookie) Race Distance: Ironman Workout: Fartleks on Trails followed by TRX workout Food: Salmon, Honey Roasted Peanut Butter, Dried Mango, Homemade Bread, Smoothies Post Race Food: Burger, Sweet Potato Fries, Ice cream Books: Unbroken, Tipping Point, Count of Monte Cristo, Bible Verse: Ephesians 3:20 – “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”      

 #51: CANCEL THE COMPLAINING | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 29:17

 #50: THE PROBLEM WITH PERFECTIONISM | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 35:09

  The problem with perfectionism is that the longer that you dwell in your pursuit of perfectionism, the more insidiously insecurities will birth within you and hinder you from moving forward towards the life that you’re meant to live.   THE PROBLEM WITH PERFECTIONISM EPISODE #50       SHOW NOTES: (1). It Defeats Your Initiative -If you wait for perfect conditions you will never get anything done -We often don’t open or allow ourselves to be loved or consider ourselves loveable until we reach a certain level of perfection, which ultimately never happens -Not only does it defeat initiative, it makes completion a moving finish line. The longer that you dwell in your pursuit of perfectionism, the more insecurities will birth within you and hinder you from moving forward towards the life that you’re meant to live.   (2). It Damages Your Relationships -When we are harsh on ourselves, we inevitably are harsh on others -The way we treat ourselves is noticed by others, and it signals them to be on guard -Perfectionism makes us self-focused, and selfish; it is difficult to really love others, and I mean really love them properly if we are so self-consumed in our own crap.   (3). It Destroys Your Happiness. -You nag yourself constantly, which is a bummer -Additionally to that, people don’t like nags, so you end up making it difficult to like yourself, and if you don’t like yourself, how can you ever expect to be happy? How can you ever expect to see yourself for all of the wonderful gifts that you do have? -Motiving yourself by reminding yourself about what is WRONG with you will not work. That is shame motivation. -Brene Brown, author of I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Power and Courage in a Culture of Shame (Buy your own copy by clicking here: I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn't): Making the Journey from "What Will People Think?" to "I Am Enough"), offers incredible insight on the dangers of perfectionism.  Below are the Brene Brown quotes shared in today's episode: We spend an extraordinary amount of time and energy tackling the surface issues, which rarely results in meaningful, lasting change. When we dig past the surface, we find that shame is often what drives us to hate our bodies, fear rejection, stop taking risks or hide the experiences and parts of our lives that we fear others might judge. This same dynamic applies to feeling attacked as a mother or feeling too stupid or uneducated to voice our opinions.  We weren't born craving perfect bodies. We weren't born afraid to tell our stories. We weren't born with a fear of getting too old to feel valuable. We weren't born with a Pottery Barn catalog in one hand and heartbreaking debt in the other. Shame comes from outside of us - from the messages and expectations of our culture. What comes from the inside of us is a very human need to belong, to relate. Shame unravels our connection to others. In fact, I often refer to shame as the fear of disconnection - the fear of being perceived as flawed and unworthy of acceptance or belonging.  Shame works like the zoom lens on a camera. When we are feeling shame, the camera is zoomed in tight and all we see is our flawed selves, alone and struggling. We think to ourselves, "I'm the only one. Something is wrong with me. I am alone."  When we are in shame, we just see our own struggle. As we zoom out, we start to see others engaged in similar struggles. When we pull completely back, we start to see an even bigger picture - how political, economic and social forces shape our personal experiences. Contextualizing is the key to making the same connection.

 #47: ADVANCE YOUR POTENTIAL, TWO TIPS FOR INSTANT APPLICATION | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:41

  The possibility of your potential is something you can advance with these daily, weekly, monthly and yearly applications. Trailblaze your path of potential!    ADVANCE YOUR POTENTIAL, TWO TIPS FOR INSTANT APPLICATION EPISODE #47         Your potential is something to be explored each and every day of your life. (1). We are called to trail blaze! You don’t have to know the path you are going to take because, well, the path might not exist.   -Daily: This means you can let go of the anxiety you carry with you daily to try to figure it all out. It also means that its time for you to start making bold decisions and to keep working on increasing your level of follow through on doing what you say you’re going to do.   -Weekly: Remind yourself that comparison is your kryptonite.  It will destroy you if you allow yourself to start engaging in it.  You don’t need to watch what anyone else is doing because you are on your own path, not his or hers or anyone else’s.   -Monthly: Assess your 3-in-30 every month.  This will keep you on track as you navigate the woods of exploration towards your dream.  You may think that you know where you’re going and assume that it is in the right direction, but it is always in your best interest to take an assessment.   -Yearly: Celebrate your successes and remember, life is about the JOURNEY, not the destination.    The path of potential never has an ending point.     (2).  You don’t have to have had the “right” education or “right” upbringing or “right” anything. You can be whatever you want to make yourself into with enough focus, study, and commitment. You are never limited unless you yourself allow labels to limit you.   -Daily:  Resist the temptation to think about what you should or should not have done in the past. The past is gone. It is done.  You are wise enough – especially if you are really committed to the advancement of your potential – to live and think in the present. It is a skill, like working out a muscle; it’s not a one and done, it’s a daily necessity.   -Weekly: Make sure that you are investing equal or more time into yourself as you do with the amount of time that you “waste.” Please note, I am not talking about “relaxation” as wasting time…I’m talking about TV, dilly-dallying, etc.   -Monthly: Explore.  Adventure brings out something within us that we otherwise would not have seen.  It highlights our curiosity, our courage and our creativity.  It expands our frame of reference and our understanding of the world, and when we remove previously placed barriers we become unstoppable.   -Yearly: Attend one big conference per year, get coaching from someone you respect, etc.     ShowNotes: You can now leave me a VOICE MESSAGE on my website!  -Leave a message just to say hi -Ask me a question -Share your success stories   TrishTalk Network is LIVE (!!!)  Check it out and let me know what you think! http://www.trishblackwell.com/trish-talk    

 #46: CLUTTER FREE | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:42

  The clutter-free living is possible for everyone. When you eliminate clutter, you are awakened to clarity in your life.  CLUTTER FREE EPISODE #46   Clutter is what happens when you spend your life doing everything other than living your actual life.  It is business, comparison, an over-loaded schedule...it is often a quest for justification or approval.  Clutter is fear-based and it tarnishes our ability to actually live. -What is cluttering your life? -What is cluttering your day? -What is cluttering your mind?         Clutter can be avoided when you: (1). Build margin in your life (2). Learn how to say no / Know that you have control over the clutter (3). Cut the comparisons. Sacrifice is the willingness to give up what you love for something you love more.  Do you love the potential of your future enough to forfeit the comfort of clutter in your life?

 #45: DESIGN YOUR LIFE | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:54

  Design your life by designing your day.  Your day is the expression of your values and dreams, determined through the small, daily decisions you make.  When you design your day you can paint your perspective to pursue the purpose within you to the fullest.  The art of living starts with the art of your day.    DESIGN YOUR LIFE EPISODE #45   Designing your life starts with designing your day.  Success leaves clues, so if you want to be successful, study what other successful people do.  The greatest leaders in this world are those who are generous with sharing their clues and their lessons with others; a generous heart always pays a high return. Here's a simple progression for you, I like simplicity, so I'm breaking it down for you the same way I would like it: design your values -> design your dreams -> design your day -> design your life ->design your legacy I am using the work design for a specific reason. That reason is that it reminds you that you are in control and that life is a form of art.  Other words you can substitute for "design" as you think about this concept in your life are: define, decide or determine.  I like these because they are all "d" words, but more than that, they all carry weight and power to them.  They are definite actions and represent intentional thought. Your world is what you design it to be.  Your perspective and how you see the world significantly affects how you experience the world.  Never forget that you are the product of your decisions, so make up your mind to be all that you can be.     Here are my personal daily tips that I use to design my days: Create a to-do list the night before Tackle an easy task first in the day and then jump immediately to my most challenging or dreaded task and get it done Honor my WLWB list. (Stretch, read, quiet time, coffee, run) Gratitude journal or reflective time. Schedule my tasks as batch work. Do one thing every day that scares me. Prioritize quality time with others and to relax. Select three daily focuses and find contentment in accomplishing those. (Resist the temptation to take on too many tasks at one time, practice saying "no" and celebrate present successes instead of dwelling on future goals). Invest in myself intellectually or spiritually every day.

 #42: MARCH TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:11

  "If a man loses pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however, measured, or far away."  - Henry David Thoreau MARCH TO THE BEAT OF YOUR OWN DRUM EPISODE #42         #1 Tip: Meditate / Self-Reflect -This can be done through a variety of ways: meditation, yoga, prayer, journaling, running or movement, self-analysis -You will never know the beat of your drum if you don't first slow down to listen #2: Action Steps for you to break the habit of going with everyone else's beat and learn to more clearly hear your own. (1) Stop Comparing /  (2) Believe and Listen  / (3). Maximize   (1). Stop Comparing Stop trying to dance someone else's dance!  I have two tips for you here: (a). Self-analysis on your own pace. We all work at different paces. (b). Horse blinders. (2). Believe & Listen Believe that you have the courage to go against the flow.  Believe that you are confident enough in yourself not to follow the crowd.  Listen to your heart.  You have to not be afraid to dance to your rhythm, let go of who is watching.  What do I really want? What is my persistent dream? What calls to me over and over? (3). Our job is to maximize our gifts, not change them We are called to nurture and mold who we were created to be...not change it or force it to fit society's accepted mold. Let go of caring about what other people think of you.  There is an inner consciousness within you that holds the answer to these questions, this is your Drummer. Things to  be proud of yourself (ways I know you are for sure different): -your story is unique -your skills weave a tapestry of talent no one else can claim -your passions are in your for a reason -you are planted where you are for a reason -you have the potential to positively impact and love a group of people no one else has been given -you have been entrusted with a unique personality that is meant to shine -your eyes see the world in a way that no one else does Through honest self-analysis, believing in yourself and listening to your heart, you will achieve all that you desire.  CONNECT WITH TRISH!  Trish on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/trishblackwellfitness Private Podcast Subscription: http://www.trishblackwell.com/register Get coaching from Trish: http://www.trishblackwell.com/confidencecoaching Trish's Apps: http://www.trishblackwell.com/trish-shop Things Trish Recommends: http://www.trishblackwell.com/recommendations

 #39: YOUR BEST IS NOT BEHIND YOU | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:03

    YOUR BEST IS NOT BEHIND YOU EPISODE #39   "Don't be stuck in what was because you will miss out on what is." (Steven Furtick) ...Your best is not behind you, so learn how to LET GO and CELEBRATE THE PRESENT and what is to come.  You have greatness ahead.       Focus One:  Let go. Let go of the past wounds. You are not defined by what has happened to you.  You are molded by your experiences, yes, but it's up to you to allow them to keep you stuck or not.  "You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them- apes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.  Beliefs are what make the difference between a lifetime of joyous contribution and one of misery and devastation." -Tony Robbins Let go of trying to be who everyone else wants you to be and give yourself permission to just be yourself Let go of proving something.  You don't have to prove anything to anyone, because that goes against knowing that you are enough just how you are. Let go of thinking you've reached your peak in the past, that you can't get a good life back.  Remember that we think so small, you have no idea just how good life can be!   Focus Two: Look ahead.   Realize that there are two ways to live: (1). abundantly and joyously or (2). stagnantly or in quiet desperation.  I've said this before as either living in love or in fear.   We are always moving towards one agent or the other, there's no balancing in the middle.   Merely understanding that you have a choice in the matter is the first step to freedom. Choose which dichotomy you will chase.  What type of living do you want to define your life by?  Will you choose to stop letting life happen to you and to instead happen in life? Envision your future happiness and the joy of living. (I do this by creating yearly goals / generational goal...at 77 I will run a marathon, at 88 I will ride an elephant, etc). Set your intentions  /  Attitude is everything in life.  / It's the things no one sees that produces the results everyone wants (Craig Groeschel)    Reflections: Have you let go of the past? Do you really believe that the best is yet to come? What can you do to get engage your focus in all of the greatness to come as you age? Which do you choose to chase: fear or love? ShowNotes: The next session of Breakout has launched and boy is it going to be great! If you missed out this time, stay tuned, the next session will open soon.
