The Confidence Podcast

  "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

    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?

  Think big and you will go to big places.  Listen in and learn the five ways to change your dreams from small to big. Think big. Dream big. Be big. Be you.   How to think BIG:   1. Differentiate between big and small thinking (where is your focus, start learning to filter your mind)   2. Give yourself permission (or take mine) to be bold   3. Celebrate the small wins (if you want more momentum, start celebrating more of your small wins)   4. Keep your eyes on your journey (horse blinders - share personal experience)   5. Advance confidently (rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat)     As long as you are thinking anyway, think big. -Donald Trump    All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. -T.E.Lawrence   Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe   If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with the success unexpected in common hours. -Henry David Thoreau   FREE THREE-VIDEO CONFERENCE TO ELEVATE YOUR CONFIDENCE: www.breakoutvideos.com DO YOU WANT SOMETHING FREE?  YEP.

    There are 7 ways to fire up the courage that you can put into action today!  Listen in to the Confidence Podcast's Episode #34 for a detailed discussion on all 7 tips and to learn how to live with heart in the face of disheartenment.   Go against the flow of averageness in life: live with heart, with POW, and with courage.   7 Ways to Fire up Your Courage #1: Make a creed that you will always live with heart. When you are committed to living with your heart engaged, it becomes part of who you are in all that you do.  It becomes your core, and your core value.  Brandon and I have a family creed that we have written for ourselves: “We commit our lives to each other and God that through intentional love and uncommon living our lives will be greater than any goal or dream we imagined on our own.” It is a commitment.  It is a creed.  Sometimes you can lose sight of your creed, but once you establish a creed, it is always within you and it will guide you back to where you need to be.  You can do this too.  #2: Seize the season.   No matter what you are going through, you get to label your life with words.  If you label your mind with discouragement, you will continue to be discouraged.   Take your heart back and live in the present by focusing on the challenges you are currently facing as refining fire that is shaping you into someone stronger and with more character.  You are in a season for a reason.  Live in the season instead of looking at everyone else’s or towards your next season….others might be bearing fruit but you don’t know how much pruning they went through for that fruit.  Take courage in knowing that your current trials are pruning you for something greater.  #3: Paint your priorities where you can see them. Remind yourself of what is really important and what matters most to you.   Paint your world with positivity and encouragement.  Write down what matters most to you.  Keep your dash visible. It’s easy to get lost in the overwhelming details of life, and in the shuffle we end up losing our true selves and our purpose.  Life becomes burdensome and overwhelming when you lose your priorities and forget what really matters. #4: Be a gladiator.  Put on your own mental armor and equip yourself to be a champion by telling yourself that “you are strong” and that “you will have the strength to continue and to persevere” even though things may look dim or uncertain.    #5: Carry confidence. Remind yourself that everyone gets down and that if you are feeling low or discouraged that it is not an indicator of weakness or necessarily a lack of confidence.  Even the most confident person ebbs and flows emotionally and faces self-doubts….the truly confident person knows that deep down, even when they can’t feel it, they carry confidence and that confidence will carry them through.  Use your dreams as a guiding light and your purpose as your gasoline to drive you when you’re not sure where to get the fuel from. #6: Know that needing courage means that you are where you are meant to be. If you aren’t playing scared, you aren’t playing in the right stratosphere. #7: Put yourself on a platform Allow others to be a foundation to you.  Be vulnerable, let someone encourage you and build you up when you feel down.     ANNOUNCEMENTS: Help me with the content of my newest app!  Just submit your favorite "Trishisms" or things that I have said either on my show or in one of my books below in the comment section.  You will be an instrumental part in helping me make an amazing pocket inspiration app to keep you inspired in 2014!    FREE THREE-VIDEO CONFERENCE TO ELEVATE YOUR CONFIDENCE: www.breakoutvideos.com

  There is a way to fight the fogginess of unmotivated "fog" that keeps you from living the life you want to live.  In today's Confidence Podcast Episode #32, you will learn 7 practical application strategies to get yourself out from under the weight of the fog you feel and onward towards being the best version of you possible.     7 Ways to fight the fog: Foggy head: I describe it as feeling blah, quasi-motivated, stuck, happy but not happy at the same time, confused, unsettled, driven but feeling like you're spinning your wheels and going nowhere etc.  (1). The 60-Second Window Fog often derives from a few negative thoughts that we allow to fester. What starts as a simple seed can develop into entangling vines that choke out our ambition, our confidence, and our hope.  You have a 60-second window to garden your mind, to dig up the bad seed that has been planted.    (Maybe read "gardening your mind" section of TSSM?) (2). Pattern disruption A boring life is a life that is lived on survival or accomplishment mode.  Remember that life is a story, that it is the journey that it is about, not the destination! Change up what you are doing.  Do something crazy.  Go for a walk at midnight.  Have a picnic because you feel like it.  Play Scrabble.  I pattern disrupt myself all the time in all sorts of ways:  different workouts, spontaneous trips, texting old friends, driving to work via a different route, driving in winter with my windows rolled down, writing my parents random thank you cards, going out of my way to pet someone's puppy, etc.  Small things matter significantly! (3). Visible reminder A bracelet that says "live life to the fullest", my tattoo on my hip that says "vivre", a quote that you can memorize so that it is forever visible in your mind, etc., the possibilities are endless. (4). Remember that you ARE important.  Self-value, self-worth. Your dent in the universe matters. We get lost in the fog of our own fog sometimes simply because we forget that we have a purpose and a limited time to actually live.  Somehow it is as if the monotony of life convinces us that we are bored, we have too much time and that we are unnoticeable, but these are just lies. (5). Assess your balance Every day keep your priority list short and accomplishable.  Ask yourself if you have invested in yourself positively in the following four ways: Self (physically / mentally) Work Relationships Quality of life [Side note: for those of you who are single out there, I used this strategy to keep myself from dating jerks.  It helped me know without a shadow of a doubt that Brandon was the love of my life.  I asked myself: Does this person challenge me (1). emotionally (2). physically (3). spiritually and (4). intellectually? ] (6). Just go move. Sometimes when we can't kick the fog, you have to move out of it yourself.  You may not be feeling like doing anything, but physiologically the body releases powerful and immeasurable endorphins through movement.  Never underestimate the power of a few minutes of walking or moving.  If you only have 15 minutes to work out and wanted to do 60, do the 15 minutes anyways.  Something is always better than nothing. (7).  Get more sleep! So many of us live sleep deprived without realizing or recognizing it.  There is no okay way to say that you don't have time to sleep.  If you are unwilling to modify your lifestyle to allow for more sleep then you don't really care about your overall quality of life or impact.  Well rested individuals have more impact, more focus, more energy, more joy, more of a story to live.  Stop sleepwalking through life and then beating yourse...

  Be free from feeling like a fraud with 3 confidence strategies to overcome Impostor Syndrome in your daily thought life.  Today's Episode #29 of The Confidence Podcast digs deep into the confidence issues that keep us from celebrating and unleashing the greatness that we really have within.   NOTES FROM THE SHOW: The impostor feelings can be divided into three sub-categories: 1.  Feeling like a fake: the belief that one does not deserve his or her successor professional position and that somehow other have been deceived into thinking otherwise. This goes together with a fear of being, "found out", discovered or "unmasked". People who feel this way would identify with statements such as: "I can give the impression that I am more competent than I really am."  "I am often afraid that others will discover how much knowledge I really lack". 2.  Attributing success to luck: Another aspect of the impostor syndrome is the tendency to attribute success to luck or to other external reasons and not to your own internal abilities. Someone with such feeling would refer to an achievement by saying, "I just got lucky this time" "it was a fluke" and with fear that they will not be able to succeed the next time. 3.  Discounting Success: The third aspect is a tendency to downplay success and discount it. One with such feelings would discount an achievement by saying, "it is not a big deal," "it was not important." One example of this is discounting the fact that they made it here, which is really a big success.  Or saying, "I did well because it is an easy class, etc."  Or, you might have a hard time accepting compliments.
