No-box-thinking with Dinah Liversidge

Lving with purpose. Living your purpose as a profession, with integrity and passion, is an interesting journey.You will find yourself talking to yourself about how other people feel about your purpose.You may even stop yourself from valuing what you bring and feel you should give away your gift, rather than charge for it.When did you last acknowledge that living your purpose is of true value to yourself and to others?

Our mindset is set by the language we use, and most importantly, the language we use when we talk to ourselves.In this episode, I ask how you're talking to yourself and whether you notice the impact that has on you and those around you.I'm Dinah Liversidge and I'm a Certified Master Life Coach and REBT Mindset Coach.

It's great to be back. This month, I'm focusing on gratitude. Being grateful has been a huge part of my daily mental health strategy for the last five years. In this first episode, I explain why gratitude is so important for me, personally.

What do you tell yourself about your ability to create a new normal?

When everyone talks about a new normal, they are all picturing something different.My version of normal and yours, will be very different.If you really want to create a new version of normal, you need to define what that is.

I have always found, if I don't schedule time in my diary for the things that I want to do, not just the things I have to do, they don't happen.In this episode I suggest the first step in creating your new normal, is to schedule time in your diary for a regular commitment to the things you want to include.

During Mental Health awareness month, there has been a focus on making time for nature to support our mental wellness.Since moving to our woodland home, in West Wales, I have become more an more aware of the impact nature has on my mindset and mental health.

What have you always said 'one day' about? What have you put off changing even though you really want to?In this episode I ask what's really stopping you from creating a new version of normal going forward and how you can challenge that.

What if you could leave behind all the old habits, practices and behaviors that you used to dislike about your old 'normal'?In this episode I explore the idea that you can leave these things in the past.

As we start to emerge from lockdowns around the world, what do you miss so much from your old normal? Everyone's in such a hurry to get back to normal.In this episode I ask you to think about what you really want to take forward.

What if you control your mind-set like the sets at the theater? The set change that occurs between scenes is just like your mindset and with the right production, you can change the script, the other players and the set.

Change is a mindset matter. Making one change at a time, instead of the that long list, is going to  allow you to change your mindset about your ability to change things in your life.I’m Dinah Liversidge and I’m a Coach and Trainer, a Celebrant and co-host of The Charcoal Hut, a woodland cabin in Myddfai, Carmarthenshire.

What story we tell ourselves about change is often tied to relationships with others. I celebrate 33 years married this month and it has been our ability to change, for and with each other, that is core to that relationship.

It's spring here in West Wales and we're getting a wonderful example of how nature shows us the way to embrace change. Everything in nature depends on change. When we change the story about change that we tell ourselves, we can be more in control of change in our lives and the way it impacts our mindset. I’m Dinah Liversidge and I’m a Coach and Trainer, a Celebrant and co-host of The Charcoal Hut, a woodland cabin in Myddfai, Carmarthenshire.

How can you become fluent in the more positive and constructive mindset language you want to embrace? 

Who do you find has a positive language that always uplifts you?Who do you love listening to? Are you aware who they listen to?

In the eighth short March episode, I'm looking at how we can help those around us to learn to embrace our new mindset language

It's up to you to change you Mindset Language.In this episode, I ask if you're ready to change your language to allow your mindset to start creating a new truth.

In this episode I ask what vocabulary you use that is conducive to a Growth Mindset? Can you change simple parts of your language to help your mindset shift?

How can you start learning a new language for your mindset? One word at a time!In this fifth episode of my March podcasts, I look at how you can change the language that has become your head-talk.

We all spend time in a Closed Mindset, but if we change the language we use to keep us there, we can be pleasantly surprised by the results.In this fourth March short Podcast, I ask you to challenge your Mindset Language.

The language we use over and over to keep ourselves from stepping into our best space, our brightest light, needs challenging. In the third of my March short Podcasts on Learning a New Language for our Mindset, I look at what you are saying to yourself that is keeping you small.

How are you talking to the imposter in your head? You know, the voice that tells you all the reasons you can't. In this episode, I look at how changing the language you use can support your mindset.

What do you say to yourself? What words or phrases are you using as your language to yourself that is not supporting a positive mindset?

In the last of my short February Podcasts on how to nurture and nourish your mindset, I look at how to keep the change going.

How can you make a long-term commitment to continue to nourish and support your mindset?In this episode I ask how you're going to ensure you make this a commitment for the long term.

Being among the trees here in our woodland is so supportive for my mindset.How are you connecting with nature to support your mindset?

I'm Fine. How often have you found yourself resisting help with these words?In this episode I ask if you're turning away nurture and nourishment by resisting help.

When we nurture others, we allow our own growth mindset to flourish. In this episode of my February Focus, I look at how when we provide nurture for others, we also allow our own mindset to grow.

Nourishment is not all about what we eat; to nourish our mindset we must make time for things that help us grow, have good health and stay in good condition. In this episode I ask what recipe for nourishment you can create to support your mindset.

Being your own 'responsible adult' means making the effort to provide nurture as you embrace a growth mindset.How are you making time to nurture yourself? What stops you?

How often do you convince yourself you're too busy to take a break?It's a story that is not serving you. Every time you talk yourself out of nourishment, you're telling yourself you don't deserve it.

When we let other people impact our mindset, it is often because we have failed to set boundaries to protect ourselves. Nourishing your mindset often comes from interaction with others, so we need to set boundaries to make sure we want the nourishment on offer.

This month's series of short Podcasts are about how to nurture and nourish your mindset. In this first episode, I explain the concept of how nurture and nourishment can apply to our mental wellness.

In the last of this series of short podcasts on creating a more positive timeline, I ask where all the noise went? If you're taking ownership of your timeline, it will be getting calmer and quieter and be a more positive space for you.Q5TrRwSYgqPLeRJXp2ZX

When we focus on lack, on what we don't want or don't have, we create only negative thoughts and responses. Therefore, to create a new more positive timeline, we can focus on adding positive people, language and things to spend time on in order to create positive responses.

In order to create a timeline that supports you in making positive change to your mindset, you need to be very clear about what and who you really want in it.Join me for day eight of my January series of short podcasts on how you can create your own timeline.

You can give yourself permission not to engage with negative timelines! In this episode of my short January podcasts, I focus on how to dis-engage from the negative people and messages in your daily timeline.

As you work to create a positive timeline, it's essential that you build it on strong foundations. In this episode of my January podcast series on creating your own timeline, I share how I support my positive daily timeline.

When you're creating a new habit, to support a positive timeline, you are going to have days when you find yourself returning to old habits. You'll take a peek at the news, or un-mute that word. And that's okay, Today, I explore how failing can be integral to mindset change.

How does your timeline make you feel? Is it lifting you up and inspiring you or pulling you down? In this fourth episode of my short January podcasts focusing on creating your own timeline to support your mindset, I suggest you take a look at who is truly inspiring you and your peers with their timeline.

In this third episode of short Podcasts on supporting your mindset with a more positive timeline, I look at the lessons for each of us from 2020. Taking the time to acknowledge what we've learned about ourselves allows us to create a foundation for personal mindset support.

In the toughest of years we notice the little things that have a big impact on our wellness and our mindset.In this second January Podcast, focusing on Creating your own Timeline, I suggest there are things from 2020 that will be worth bringing into 2021.

Have you ever considered that you create your own timeline? Not only the Social Media ones, but the ones that are part of your daily life?In this first of ten short Podcasts for January, I ask what impact you can have on your mindset by creating your own timeline.

Even in a year like 2020, there are things we can celebrate. Small successes become a bigger deal in a year like this and focus on what we've achieved or been pleased with, is a great way to re-focus the mindset.
