"You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Overthinking is often the biggest hurdle most of us encounter on the path to goal achievement. The irony;  it's a hurdle we create!

Overthinking not only creates stress in our lives, it creates inaction, increases doubt, anxiety, fear and limits our potential. Overthinking impedes the very 3 P's MG writes about in The Pressure Paradox, namely; Productivity, Performance and Peace of Mind. To illustrate the point, he shares a recent Conan O'Brien interview with NPR's Terry Gross

"There are no accidents Shifu."  ~Oogway
 
Deepak Chopra likes to say, "There are no accidents . . .  there is only some purpose we haven't yet understood. Einstein said, "God does not play dice with the universe." Even the wisdom of the movie Kung Fu Panda asserts that everything happens for a reason.  

But this line of thought leads us down a path of dichotomous thinking. Are there really NO accidents? There are entire industries devoted to accidents. Rather than believing everything is predetermined or destined to be, it is worth considering that it doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

Consider sports and the games we play. There are rules AND there is random chance.

In life we have rules; gravity, principles — things that are unwavering AND we also have the element of chance. We need not explain away accidents and simply assert they are all predetermined.

Listen in for more on accepting both rules and accidents, why life is like a board game..

"It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude.” ~Zig Ziglar

Today's Mind Bullet focuses on a topic of great importance in many Habits2Goals episodes, but it's time to look at it in-depth, by itself: attitude.

Attitude is defined as a "settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person's behavior." Attitudes are ingrained habits of thought that are reflected in our behavior

We have attitudes about everything —friends, jobs, learning, work, spouses, families, and more. Are these attitudes fostering positivity or negativity? The good news is that our thoughts control our attitudes—and we can control our thinking. 

Listen in for more on using attitude to grow skills, how controlling your thoughts drive a positive attitude, and why the ceiling on our achievement and success is limited only by your attitude.

"Without the luxury of planning, preparing and practicing, pressure can be the enemy of success. "

Henry J. Evans joins Habits2Goals this week for an insightful discussion of a multi-faceted topic: how to deal with pressure. 

No one gets out of dealing with pressure. We all experience pressure, whether it's related to family, relationships, health, job, or finances. It starts early and never lets up; there's no escaping pressure

Some "experts" say pressure is the enemy of success. Yet great success comes from facing down pressure and coming out ahead. Like habit, pressure is neither good nor bad. It's a force that you can make work for you or let work against you. Growth doesn't happen in your comfort zone. It comes from pressure, challenges, and deadlines.

Listen in to learn the formula for dealing with pressure and maintaining balance, understanding the three P's of handling pressure, and why habit is a critical tool for turning pressure into growth.

Enjoy the episode!

For more on pressure, check out Martin Grunburg's The Pressure Paradox.

"Feast upon uncertainty. Fatten upon disappointment. Enthuse over apparent defeat, and invigorate in the presence of difficulties.”

Today's Mind Bullet is about setting a new mindset: Start clapping!

When misfortune hits, we tend to think in extremes. Didn't get the job? I'll be homeless in three weeks! It's easy to spin out into the worst scenario. But there's an infinite spectrum of possibilities, and staying optimistic is a great tool to steady yourself in the face of adversity to recalibrate your course.

The great NFL coach Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks is in a near-constant state of clapping during the game. Seahawks missed a field goal? He claps. They fumble. He claps. The other team scores a touchdown? He claps. He's constantly showing his team that they're fine, there's plenty of time, and it's not panic time. 

This mindset goes beyond football into all aspects of life. Didn't get the job? It's OK, start clapping. Things not turning out as you expected? There's still time; it's not over yet. You're still in the game. Start clapping. There's time to fix this, and misfortune can be a great opportunity.

Listen in to learn how to keep your vision intact when misfortune occurs, how to recalibrate when things aren't going your way, and help yourself not to stumble as you get back on your path to victory.

Enjoy the episode!

"When coaching kids, above all, be kind, and focus on giving them constructive, positive labels about themselves." 
 
Today's Frequently Asked Friday seems to come out of left field, but it has deep implications: How do you coach kids?  

How to coach kids is a frequent Google search, so plenty of people are wondering about the best way to coach, teach, and guide the children in our lives. 

The simple answer is to be kind. Tell them the good things you see in them and their potential. Kids' mindsets are just beginning to form and the labels about themselves are becoming fastened. Adults are often unaware of the effects—both positive and negative—their words can have over the long term. What will they remember from their interaction with you in say 20 years?

Listen in for more tips on the importance of kindness when interacting with kids in a coaching or teaching capacity; why emphasizing development, potential, and fun is critical; and how to have the kids in our care come away with positive labels. 

Enjoy the episode!

"Are you willing to jump through the painful practice 'hoop' of conscious competence to truly become your best?"

Henry J. Evans joins Habits2Goals this week to discuss an important topic in every aspect of life, including habit development: the four phases of learning

To recap, the phases are:

  • Unconscious incompetence. (You don't know what you don't know. )
  • Conscious incompetence. (You know you're bad.)
  • Conscious competence. (You know you're kind of good, but it's painful and it hurts; think practice.)
  • Unconscious competence. (You're automatic, thanks to thousands upon thousands of hours. "In the zone.")

Since learning skills and developing habits are closely tied, these same phases of learning apply to habit development and goal achievement. It takes a process of awareness, consciousness, practice, and effort to create an automatic positive habit that can help you reach your goals.

Listen in to hear more why there's no getting around the hours of effort and hard work it takes to reach unconscious competence, and how the PARR method for habit development: Plan, Act, Record & Reasses builds habit strength, a requirement for both habit and skill development.

Enjoy the episode!

"Procrastination is the most common manifestation of resistance because it's the easiest to rationalize.” ~Steven Pressfield

Today's Mind Bullet builds off last week's powerful episode, E-Brake, which explored the idea that our personal emergency brakes are holding us back from true success. Today we explore more about resistance and its profound effect on our goals.

We often think our biggest problem is not finishing things we start. While this is often true, you can't overstate the importance of starting—overcoming that initial resistance and moving toward a goal. 

Resistance is all around us. Psychological and physical barriers are plentiful. Psychological resistance visits us in the form of overthinking, finding a billion reasons not to start on a goal.

There are real physical barriers to starting a goal, as well. In our interview with Fred Gratzon, author of The Lazy Way to Success, we learned about the "principle of least action." Everything trends toward not moving—a body not in motion tends to stay not in motion. 

Listen in to learn how to overcome the physical and psychological resistance we face when starting a goal, getting back on track when we falter, and how to stop feeding the ready excuses that fuel inaction.

Enjoy the episode!

"Invest the first hour of the day, the 'Golden hour,' in yourself." ~Brian Tracy
 
On this Frequently Asked Friday, we tackle the question: What is the best way to start the day? 

While everyone has their preferences, there are a few helpful habits everyone can benefit from. First, the prep for a great day tomorrow starts today. Set up your success for tomorrow with your choices today.

Some swear by getting up early, but this depends on your own situation. But leave yourself at least an hour before you have to get going. That extra quiet time gets you organized, giving you time to prioritize your tasks and fit in those healthy morning habits. 

Listen in for more tips on the best way to start your day, how gratitude comes into play, and how setting the tone for the rest of your day pays dividends in productivity and peace.

Enjoy the episode!

For more on this topic, check out our interview with Fred Gratzon, author of The Lazy Way to Success.

"The universe is absolutely perfect. Everything you could want or envision already exists. But until you start out on the path, you won't see any evidence of it.” ~Brian Smith

Habits2Goals is honored to present an inspirational and fascinating conversation with UGG® Australia founder, speaker, entrepreneur, and sought-after business leader Brian Smith. 

Brian Smith was born in Australia, where he developed his passionate love of surfing. After studying at the UCLA Graduate School of Management, with just $500 in startup money, he founded UGG Imports to bring sheepskin footwear to America.

"When your personal emergency brake is on, you're not going to go as fast, as far, or as efficiently as you should.” 

On today's episode, we greet the week with a powerful Mind Bullett: Find your e-brake

If the emergency brake is on when you drive your car, the vehicle will feel slow and sluggish, held back by some unseen force. When you realize it's the emergency brake and release it, your car surges forward at full power.

This is a great metaphor for when you're trying to make a change in your life and move forward in the right direction. Sometimes you have your goal in mind and you're working to align your habits with that goal, but something is out of whack—something is out of alignment and holding you back.

When your personal emergency brake is on, you're not going to go as fast, as far, or as efficiently as you could. You can be doing so many things right, but one bad habit could be stuck in the process and stalling your progress. Maybe it's drinking too much, or smoking, or holding on to anger. Whatever it is, it's time to release it.

Listen in for a checkup on your habit alignment process, finding your own personal e-brake that's keeping you from your full potential, and how to release that bad habit and feel the power as you surge forward.
