I used to listen to music just for the sound. If I loved the beat, someone’s voice, or a rhythm, that’s all I needed. But over the last five years, I’ve started to care just as much about lyrics as the melodies—and it’s made me much more grateful for the powerful messaging in conscious music. My guest today is Rob Riccardo, who is literally one of my favorite musicians of all time! His lyrics uplift and inspire me. They have the power to elevate my consciousness and have helped me through life’s most difficult moments, including my struggles with depression. Rob is a deep, thoughtful, and enlightened individual. It was fascinating to get to talk with him, hear his journey, and learn more about the way he’s approached music and life—especially as he’s navigated the pandemic over the last two years. You’re going to walk away from this episode with a refreshed mindset around living in the present moment and accepting happiness into your life—even if reality is different than what you imagined! KEY TAKEAWAYS * Rob shares his creative process and where the inspiration for his uplifting songs come from. * Why we all have so much more in common than we think we do. * How Rob rediscovered his love for music, after not playing for 5-years straight. * How to silence the voice in your head that tells you that your creative work isn’t good enough and find the confidence to share your message. * Why the fantasy we imagine is almost always better than the reality when we arrive—and why nothing beats the present moment! * If you can’t learn to be happy with what you have now, what makes you think that you’ll know how to be happy with what you think you want in the future? * When we focus on things that are out of our control, we feel out of control. Find out what to do instead! * The power of setting goals without getting attached to the results * How to navigate the challenges in your life with curiosity and an ever-shifting mindset.

A mentor of mine once told me, “Set your life to consistent rhythms—it’s the only way to freedom.” Once you’ve set your goals, how do you set yourself up with consistent rhythms to achieve them? What are the rituals and routines that will enable you to succeed, and how do you schedule them into your day? Last week, we talked about living life in a rhythm of 30-day challenges to consistently improve individual aspects of your life, month after month. In today’s episode, I’m following that up with a deep dive into how creating the appropriate rituals and routines for your goals makes achieving them A LOT easier. Not only is this one of the easiest ways to achieve your goals, but you’ll learn how to make this approach a part of your daily practice AND stick with it! KEY TAKEAWAYS * How a 30-day challenge allows you to make a habit automatic—and what makes the first 10 days of adopting any new habit so difficult. * Why I have to organize my life into daily routines to achieve my goal—and how this helps me stay productive despite severe ADHD and memory struggles. * How to create a foundational schedule that incorporates all my daily activities, routines, and rituals while giving myself free time and space for my family. * What my own daily routines and rituals look like—and why I don’t get bored doing (and eating) the same foods almost every day.

Is there any aspect of your life that you’d like to improve, transform, and take to the next level within the next month? I’ve become a big fan of 30-day challenges, as they’ve helped me up-level my life in all kinds of different areas, including parenting, marriage, health, spirituality, finances, business, and more. Each month I intentionally choose one area of my life that I want to take to the next level and get hyper focused on improving it. For 30 days, I focus my attention, time, energy, creativity, and my Miracle Morning on that one area. Today, I want to teach you exactly how I do it. I break down my entire process, so you can take action and make significant steps towards improving your life, in a relatively short amount of time (you know, 30 days). :^) KEY TAKEAWAYS * The value of measuring our lives based on how we show up every day. * Why every challenge feels like a trudge through the mud at first—and how to find your flow, get clarity, and get in the zone. * Some examples of habits or goals that could serve as your first monthly mission. * How to clarify and affirm your mission by defining your action steps and demonstrating why it matters. * A practical example of what a 30-day challenge looks like as part of your S.A.V.E.R.S.

I don’t know about you, but I’m much more effective when I keep things simple (and easy to remember). :^)  In 2022, I’m using a 3-letter strategy to guide me. These three letters are something I can remember every day and serve as my North Star to handle any challenges I’m faced with and continue making progress toward my most important goals. Like the S.A.V.E.R.S, these three letters are easy to remember, stick to, and implement every single day. Today, I’m excited to start by giving you an overview of what we discussed in Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of this series. I then let you in on my 3-letter strategy to achieve success in 2022 and beyond! KEY TAKEAWAYS Why it doesn’t make sense to measure your emotional well-being based on what’s out of your control. The A-B-C Formula for Making Success Simple in 2022 Why resistance is the source of all emotional pain, how acceptance serves as the antidote, and why this is not the same thing as resignation. The many forms of gratitude–and how to stay grateful, even in the face of adversity. Four simple steps you can take to make daily progress toward your goals–and why none of these goals need to be monumental to make a difference.

Today, we continue with part 3 of our 4-part series on making 2022 your best year ever. If you haven’t heard Part 1 or Part 2, I definitely recommend that you go back and listen. In today’s episode, I introduce you to what I call “inverted goals.” Unlike a traditional goal which focuses on a predetermined outcome (e.g., I want to lose 10lbs), an inverted goal focuses on a predetermined process (e.g., exercise 5 days per week). Which predetermined processes (activities, habits, rituals, and routines) will you commit to this year that will move you toward the outcomes you want to achieve? Essentially, inverted goals are the goals that lead you to the outcome that you want to accomplish. Today, you’ll learn exactly when and how I use this approach to goal setting, so you can incorporate it in your approach to make 2022 your best year yet! KEY TAKEAWAYS * How inverted goals help you focus on habits, rituals, and routines rather than obsessing over the results. * How to clarify your mission and enjoy every moment—and why this isn’t about being happy, excited, or positive all the time. * Why inverted goals allow you to experience joy no matter what’s going on in your life. * How inverted goals lead you to bigger results and allow you to succeed every single day.

Last week, I shared “An Unconventional Way to Make 2022 Your Best Year Ever” and the premise of that episode was to measure your Best Year through a new paradigm, and that paradigm was based on the one thing you have complete control of: How you show up everyday. We broke that into two aspects: Your MINDSET and your BEHAVIORS. Today’s episode is about “Getting Your Mind Right” or more formally “Optimizing Your Mindset” for 2022, which is both crucial and precedes everything else—setting your goals, making plans for the new year, and following through. If you’re not in a good mindset, if you’re experiencing perpetual states of stress or fear or anxiety or depression, if you’re lacking self-confidence or feeling hopeless, it’s going to hinder your ability to make 2022 a great year. Your quality of life begins and ends with your mindset. Your Best Year Ever begins and ends with your mindset. And you know what the best part about that is? You get to choose your mindset. Today, I want to help you Optimize Your Mindset for 2022, and then create your affirmations and guidelines. In this episode, (Part 2 of a 4-part series), I’ll be sharing five (5) actionable exercises you can implement to automatically shift your mindset. FIVE STEPS TO OPTIMIZE YOUR MINDSET FOR 2022: * Celebrate your gains from 2021. Take your net positives from this year, put them down in writing, and document your accomplishments, the lessons you learned, and what you’re grateful for. * Clarify your optimal mindset and commit to it. Get clear on exactly how you want to feel, what mental and emotional qualities you want to embody, and what you want to focus your energy on. * Identify your mental obstacles and how you’ll overcome them. Identify what doesn’t serve you and whether or not there’s truth in it. * Brainstorm what you want to experience in 2022. Get in touch with what you want your life to be like and what you want to invite into your life in the new year. * Review and update your affirmations daily. Create a living document that evolves with you to commit to your mindset and the work you need to do to create and maintain it.

Today’s podcast is the first in a 4-part series, each designed to set you up to do everything in your power to make 2022 your best year yet. We’re beginning the series with an encore presentation of one of the highest rated episodes that I recorded for you last year, which will give you an “Unconventional Approach to Make This Your Best Year Yet” and set the stage for the next three episodes. As we leave this year behind, I’m inviting you to consider entering 2022 with an unconventional paradigm—that creating the best year of your life has less to do with what you accomplish (your results) or what happens to you (your circumstance), and everything to do with how you choose to show up and experience each day. I’m also going to give you some strategies that you can immediately begin implementing to make 2022 your best year yet, no matter how you choose to measure success. And one more thing, I have a free gift for you! I had one of my favorite people in the world on the show a couple of weeks ago, Brian Johnson. He is giving away his summaries of over 600+ personal development and business books. No strings attached, it’s free! Just go to Optimize.me/hal to get access to his amazing content. KEY TAKEAWAYS * Why having a good year or a bad year has less to do with your results and more to do with how you show up every day. * How a difficult year (see 2020/2021) can give you everything you need to become the person that you need to be to create everything else you want in life. * How to get clarity and set goals in eight different areas. * The value of unwavering faith and resilience. * The power of support and accountability networks – and how to find (or create) one.
