Hello Everyone and welcome to the 5th episode of the Motivation Monday Podcast!
Imagine tuning in to a short pep talk at the start of every week to get you in the right frame of mind to tackle your goals and ease your way through the week without anxiety and procrastination.
That’s exactly what this is!
For those of you who don’t know me super well, I have been studying human behavior for over 15 years and have learned quite a bit about why we do what we do. It’s allowed me to peek into the operating system of our minds and fine tune what’s going on in there so that we can live with less chatter and distractions, and feel more confident and enthusiastic about what we’re doing in life.
If you want secrets to “hack” your mind and enhance your self-development, this is absolutely the place for you!
Each week, I’ll be releasing an episode on Monday mornings with tips and tricks to hit your week with your best foot forward
*UPDATE: This podcast including all episodes are now FREE for all subscribers :)
MM Podcast Ep 5: The Magical Secret Behind The Mind Of A Child
Welcome to the start of another week!
Let’s get ourselves in the habit of reframing our minds to be EXCITED about each week.
Why should we be excited?
OPPORTUNITY
Each week, we all have the chance to learn something exciting, work on an exciting project or goal, and have exciting conversations with the people we resonate with the most.
No, this is not a fairytale, this is an actual choice that we can make in our own minds.
Let's take a moment and remember when we were kids and got excited often.
Why was that possible?
Because we didn’t worry as much. You see, you can’t be excited and worry at the same time. You can only feel one of those emotions at once.
Nowadays we hear all sorts of opinions and judgements from all over the place in society so it’s hard to stay excited and confident with what we choose to do.
But imagine if you lived life as more of a free spirit, trusting that everything is aligned for a specific reason or purpose, even if we don’t understand the reason initially.
What’s interesting is..
That’s actually the magical mind of a child. They trust the process without even thinking about it, and life flows magically
Perhaps you even realize some of the most challenging things that have happened to you, turned out to make you the stronger version of yourself that you see in the mirror today.
The question is..
Would you have become that stronger version of yourself had that challenge not happened?
I believe it is our choice on how we shape our future based off past events
A challenge can either make or break you, it’s all up to US.
Having faith in a larger picture and being open to learn, like a child frees us from so many fears and worries that our adult societally conditioned mind creates
My dad once told me a story about a conversation he had with a female lawyer who had done hundreds of court cases over 40 years.
She told him the most incredible thing that she realized after all that time was that:
“90% of what you worry about, never comes true, and the small amount that does is never as bad as we originally think.”
Being in his 30s at the time, my dad had just entered the building stage for his family
He said that this woman’s advice completely changed his outlook and he was able to take more risks, “live a little more”, and just overall enjoy life.
What my Dad didn’t put together at the time was..
This is exactly how a child’s mind works, and although they are a lot younger than us, we can learn a lot from them.
So this week, I challenge you to re-adopt the mind of a child.
See the wonder in the world
Enjoy the presence of beautiful moments as they pass by you
Relish in your freedom to shape your future regardless of what has happened in the past
THAT is your power
THAT is who you truly are
And don’t let a damn person ever tell you otherwise
Just because they’ve lost that spark, doesn’t mean you have to do the same
Keep shining on!
Have a wonderful week everyone!
