Creating The Path

In today's episode of Creating The Path, I'm talking about how powerful curiosity is and why we should develop it. This is because curiosity is at the heart of some of the most essential skills, like resilience and problem-solving. We all know how essential it is for us to be resilient because it helps us survive setbacks or difficult times coming out stronger, and empowers us to grow from those experiences. And when it comes to problem-solving, it is a much-needed skill in every area of our life. We always need to find a solution when we encounter a problem whether it's small or trivial. So let's highlight the power of curiosity in this episode. Topics discussed in this episode: [00:28] The power of curiosity and why it is one of the most important skills[01:03]  How curiosity fuels resilience and problem solving[05:04] The difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset[06:54] Clarity in BusinessResources from the episode:Joyful Productivity VIP Day - If you're feeling overworked and overwhelmed, I can help you create a plan that allows you to be more productive while working less. After one day together, you'll have a schedule that allows you to work fewer hours, by managing both your time and energy and the foundation to support your success.

That's resilience.”“Problem-solving is an essential skill because it's needed in every area of our life.”“When you're in a fixed mindset, you're not likely to be curious, because you're probably just assuming that this is the way things are, and there's no way to change it.”“Most of us will have a mix of growth and fixed mindsets, in different areas of our life.”“If you can catch yourself and notice when you have a fixed mindset, or even just noticing when you have a problem that's difficult to solve, then you can bring curiosity to the situation, and start asking questions.”“Try to understand all the aspects of the problem, brainstorm all the possible solutions you can think of, even the ones that seem silly or stupid.”“Whenever we aren't sure what to do in our business, we talk about how we need clarity. And if you think about it, that is problem-solving. The problem is we don't know what to do. And clarity is the solution, or at least we think it is.”Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a certified positive psychology-based coach and creator of the Intentional Energy Framework, a system that empowers you to create a life and business you love without burning out.

In today's episode of Creating The Path, I'm talking about how to create a productive mindset because the thoughts we think affect the actions we take (or don't take). We often get stuck thinking thoughts that prevent us from taking the actions that lead to the results we want.So today, I'm going to offer you 3 questions you can ask yourself to determine if a thought is productive or not and to reframe thoughts that help create a productive mindset - which will help you move you forward.Topics discussed in this episode: [01:04] Questioning your thoughts[05:29] Productive thoughts that help you achieve your goals[06:00] Making sure thoughts and feelings are aligned[08:40] A practical example of how to create a productive mindset using these 3 questions[13:23] Episode recapResources from the episode:Joyful Productivity VIP Day - If you're feeling overworked and overwhelmed, I can help you create a plan that allows you to be more productive while working less.

In today's episode of Creating The Path, I'm talking about giving yourself permission to let things go. You may or may not have noticed that I didn't release a podcast episode last week. That was because I was working on a project, and I didn't anticipate how long it was going to take me to complete it. So, I had to let things go. I had more on my plate than I could handle. And letting things go can look like two different things, it can either look like not doing something at all or letting go of the need for it to be perfect. So, let's talk about that.Topics discussed in this episode: [00:54] Why I didn't release a new episode last week[03:09] Letting things go and prioritizing [06:01] Letting go of perfectionism[07:24] Protecting yourself and your healthResources from the episode:Joyful Productivity VIP Day - If you're feeling overworked and overwhelmed, I can help you create a plan that allows you to be more productive while working less.

Last week, we talked about just how important it is to rest and how we need to start a rest revolution to get rid of burnout culture forever. So, in today's episode of Creating The Path, I'm talking about how to rest when you don't know how. Because I hear people talk about this and I experienced this myself. When I quit my 9-5 job, I was used to being in working mode 24 hours a day. I couldn't turn off my brain. My body was always set up to just go, go, go! And when you're in that place, you actually have to learn how to rest or at least reteach yourself how to rest and work your way into it slowly. So, let me share with you 5 tips on how you can rest if you are feeling like you have a hard time resting or just don't even know what to do. Let's get into it.Topics discussed in this episode: [01:58] Tip #1: Calm your nervous system with these simple techniques[11:45] Tip #2: Moving your body can actually help you to rest[13:03] Tip #3: Start small when it comes to rest (if you're not used to it)[14:10] Tip #4: Reframing rest[16:33] Tip #5: Don't beat yourself up[18:22] Recap of the episodeResources from the episode:Joyful Productivity VIP Day - If you're feeling overworked and overwhelmed, I can help you create a plan that allows you to be more productive, while working less.

Let's go deeper into Burnout Culture today. Yes, we want to help people who are burned out, but from where I see it, we should also want to stop more people from getting burned out.

Which is how we get into this cycle of working too much and never getting through our to-do list.”“You want to schedule your day to follow your natural energy flow. When your energy is down you're better off taking a break rather than pushing through to get more work done. That's just going to burn you out.”“Stay curious as to what feels good and right for you. That's what really matters.  Remember that you're creating your path, your ideal life, not what someone else thinks is ideal.”Summary of the Podcast: Creating the Path is a podcast that challenges multi-passionate entrepreneurs to achieve their goals by working less and eliminating overwhelm, so they can create their own unique pathway to a life they love.
