Just like navigating while driving a car, sometimes we make a wrong turn and feel like we missed an opportunity. But what if we approached these moments with the same non-judgmental mindset as our navigation apps? There are no wrong turns in life, only reroutes.

Looking back, you'll realize that new paths eventually appeared, leading to growth and fulfillment.Let's challenge ourselves to welcome these reroutes without judgment.

In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on the book "The Gap and The Gain" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. I explore the nuances of measuring success, exploring the shift from chasing external validations to finding internal satisfaction. Drawing parallels with coaching principles and Fearless Living®, I share insights into the impact of acknowledging our growth and reframing expectations. I also delve into the book's emphasis on measuring backward (the GAIN) versus forward (the GAP) and encourage you to redefine success as being an inside job that's connected to your emotions.What You'll Learn:- How measuring against a future ideal or comparing yourself with others creates a sense of being in the GAP.- How the GAIN is about measuring backward, acknowledging past achievements, and turning every experience into a lesson- Why acknowledging your progress and giving yourself credit for even the smallest steps is crucial for fostering a positive mindset- How I connect the book's concepts with principles of Fearless LivingResources: - Get my FREE training: The First Step to Better Balance in Your Life https://www.charisyourlife.com/freetraining- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/

In this episode, I talk about the immense pressure we put on ourselves based on our age, plus the expectations society imposes on us. Many of us have regrets, guilt, and self-criticism connected with our age. However, there's a fresh perspective that can liberate us. I was recently introduced to the concept of considering age as levels rather than ‘years old.' Drawing inspiration from video games, I cover how we can choose our experiences and progress to higher levels in life. This reframe can help shed the heavy weight associated with age and allow us to embrace a more empowering and enjoyable journey.What You'll Learn:- The impact of societal expectations and personal judgments tied to age- Embracing the idea of age as levels for a more empowering mindset around aging- The analogy of life as a video game- Overcoming patterned, negative thoughts about aging through a playful and lighthearted approachWe've heard the phrase “age is just a number;” what if you now view it as an opportunity to level up and embrace new experiences, like we would in a game?

In this episode, we delve into the concept of how to "shake it off,” both literally and metaphorically. Shaking is a natural way for animals to process adrenaline and cortisol during fight or flight states, and it can be applied to help us move emotions through our bodies. We discuss how fear can get trapped within us, leading to long-term tension and anxiety. By incorporating intentional shaking and movement, we can give our nervous system a cue to shift our internal energy. This practice can support your overall well-being and help you transition from stressful moments to a calmer state.What You'll Learn:- The importance of acknowledging and processing emotions in our bodies- How shaking and intentional movement can help release emotions and tension- The benefits of incorporating regular physical movement into our sedentary lifestyles- Practical tips for shaking it offResources: - Get my FREE on-demand video training: How to Live Life on Your Own Terms & Timeline (And Stop Sacrificing Your Sanity, Personal Space, or Social Life) https://charisyourlife.com/video- Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/charisyourlife - Follow me on Facebook: https://facebook.com/charisyourlife/ - Follow me on LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/charisyourlife/- Follow me on YouTube: https://charisyourlife.com/youtube/- Follow me on Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/charisyourlife/- My website: https://charisyourlife.com/
