The Inevitable You Podcast

How you think and feel on a habitual basis and the actions you take (or don't take) as a result, is what dictates your experience and the results of your life. However, over 90% of that is primarily driven by  your subconscious and unconscious mind! It's how we react to life's circumstances, it's what we believe about ourselves and the world, it's "neural patterns and programs" that have been wired in over time (and some of them since have been in place since birth!). When you bring awareness into that thinking and feeling process and how your mind works, you begin to change your experience of reality. Therefor, your mental fitness is determined by the level of consciousness you bring to how you think and feel. Yet, how much focus and energy do you put into that? Do you work on your mindset as consistently or frequently as you exercise or work? And improved consciousness only comes with committed practice that's as routine as brushing your teeth! In this episode, you will get the key elements and tools for: Dealing with stress and anxiety Experiencing more elevated and consistent levels of joy and peace Overcoming negative thoughts and moods Quickly finding the solutions to challenges and adversity life throws your way Experiencing more love, appreciation, and gratitude for your life and the people in it Visit our website: https://inevitableyou.com Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/theinevitableyou --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inevitable-you/support

In this episode of Coach's Corner I'm joined by my fellow coaches Dan Jimenez and Laura Grant to discuss creating reality and life from the "inside-out," our own standards, dreams, and wants. Much of how we operate is a result of our programming that started from an early age and reinforced by life experiences. We are unconsciously driven by old voices, messages from our parents and society, and our own experiences with failure, trauma, and success. How do decipher where this "inner voice" and decision making process comes from? How can we create life from our own internal drivers versus external ones? How can we listen to our intuition? We finish the conversation by looking at a case study of a real client who struggles with uncertainty and fear of the unknown and how you can overcome that and live with more confidence and excitement of what the future holds. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inevitable-you/support

Are you aware that over 90% of your reality, your thoughts, emotions, and actions, is driven by the subconscious mind?What you believe about the world, about you, your challenges, your ability to succeed, is primarily dictated by the part of the mind that you are (mostly) unaware of!  That should be somewhat alarming when you consider the implications... And wouldn't you want to influence that as much as possible?!In this episode, I cover some of our most effective tools for re-programming the subconscious mind.If you're struggling with reaching certain goals, if you feel "stuck" in any aspect of life, it's likely due to the subconscious programs that are running... Discover how to become aware of this underlying psychology and change it once and for all!

When people consider personal development, self-help, growth, transformation, one of the problems that they have – and it's not taught by very many teachers – is a very simple notion:If you believe that there is an obstacle or a challenge, or something that's holding you back, and you're reading books and going to seminars, and buying audio books, hoping that you're going to solve the problem; there is a very interesting phenomena when you focus on and begin to create a breakthrough to the solution, when you actually succeed and get what you want. The truth is, as the Greatest Version of You(GVOY)… fear and anxiety and uncertainty shoot off the charts!  And normally, most people not only struggle with this, but the gamut of emotions are enormous and challenging… considering that all of your previous strategies were designed to lower fear, anxiety, and negative emotional stresses.   And for you to be the GVOY… you MUST understand and FEEL… this enormity! You must understand how to manage this fear differently and more effectively. 

Is "greatness" hard or easy? What happens when you really push your boundaries and potential?  You MUST find your edge so you know what to push over.  You CANNOT continue to push the edge of your above averageness...  Not only does living an above average life do far more damage than you realize… Living life at an epic level is far easier than you ever dreamed!Why is it so hard for so many? Are you in that trap? How do you break free of it? Discover how to accelerate past these psychological barriers and live life at Level 10!  And, understand how your life will be FAR EASIER afterwards... Not harder!

The Greatest Version of You, the level ten version of you, where you are focused on your greatness; you've got all cylinders firing, you've got all your neural processes consciously rewired and focused on your greatness!Some of the questions we explore are:What is Greatness, and what does it mean for you?Is Greatness hard or is it easy?What tools support your "legend" being made?How do you make a quantum leap from where you're at now to this legendary vision of you in the future?

Are you subconsciously sabotaging your success and Greatness? This episode explains common examples of self sabotaging behaviors and what you must focus on and do to overcome them.

Are you striving for more? Are you demanding and pushing yourself to grow each and every day? This is the key to Greatness. When you become complacent, there's little motivation to change, and it is the very thing that prevents you from having more in life. This episode is about why you should absolutely eliminate complacency and what you must focus on to do so. 

This episode goes deeper into our "change management" toolbox, how to deal with challenges that inevitably come when making significant changes and becoming the Greatest Version of You. We also talk about the science behind habits, how to effectively break old habits and create new ones, and why the incremental approach to change is not as effective as a massive, radical approach. 

Do you ever wonder what makes "change" so hard for yourself or others?Do you ever wonder what makes it easier for some people, or why certain changes can be easier than others?To make a significant change or upgrade in any area of your life, you must understand the psychology behind what drives change or prevents it! You must have tools in place to manage the challenges that come with changing old habits and thought patterns.If you have ever struggled with change yourself – it is not necessarily YOU… it is more often what you have been taught to believe about change – even by professionals!In this podcast you'll discover:How to effectively create and sustain change in your life and businessCommon obstacles with making changes that most people struggle withHow to overcome common barriers to transformation

In this episode. we provide more questions and tools for you create an unstoppable abundance mindset. We also uncover other potential reasons and old beliefs that prevent you from creating more wealth and abundance.

The Psychology of Wealth, the money mindset required to have financial success. Why is this so important and should come first before any technical training on your "money making" vehicle? Because your "operating system," the thought programs and patterns, are what create your outcomes and what you think is possible or not. It's dictates your application of the skills and knowledge you acquire, it's what limits or enhances your ability to make more money!In this episode, we share tools and questions to help you upgrade your "mental software" for more financial success. 

Your ability to monitor your emotions, as well as others, and use them to guide your thinking and behavior is where you will find immense power. With emotional mastery, you will be able to quickly and effectively shift disturbing or unpleasant emotions, while also finding value from them instead of trying to avoid or suppress them. The best leaders understand this and consciously use their emotions to inspire and motivate themselves and people around them.In this episode, we cover how to master your emotions and develop your emotional intelligence/quotient (EQ).

What if you can control and consciously direct your emotions as you please? At The Inevitable You®, we teach that emotions are a product of "mental software," when you change the programs and patterns it changes how you respond to the "data" of life, it changes how you FEEL about what's happening. Your ability to manage and direct your emotions, your emotional quotient(EQ), is also one of the vital elements for maximizing your results with the Law of Attraction, making sure your emotions are in alignment with your attraction. In this episode, you will get tools for not only managing your emotions, but consciously activating your emotional intensity and feel more joyous and excited every day. Using these tools to control your emotions will greatly improve your use of the Law of Attraction and the results you create!

Last week we talked about the Law of Attraction(LOA) - what it is, how it works, and how to use it to your advantage to manifest your goals and dreams. In this episode, we give you two enhancements to the LOA: the Art of Allowing and the Science of Deliberate Creation.These two concepts help your application of the LOA, and also helps with dealing with the attractions and creations of people around you. Practicing the Art of Allowing allows you to receive the things you are trying to manifest, and feel more at peace and less stress or anxiety about other people's challenges and painful attractions. The science of deliberate creation is all about using the tools available to be more effective with your manifestations and how you create them.

The Law of Attraction is one of the most vital concepts to understand for creating the reality you want to experience. You may have heard this referred to as "thoughts become things," or "what you think about and focus on it what you get." However, there is much more to it! And as you will discover, it is not always working in your favor...In this episode, we discuss how it works and how to use it to your advantage to manifest your goals and dreams, and we will give you practical tools for applying this universal Law and using it effectively.

One of the most powerful things you can do to change the quality of your life is to change the quality of the questions that you ask.Just like a computer program, we constantly ask ourselves a "primary" question, and a series of questions to follow, in a logical order, that allow us to process life and our experiences.You will notice that you ask this question or constellation of questions across many contexts and in many cases. This question may not really be resourceful or as empowering as we need it to be.In this episode, we cover a tool for identifying what this question is for you, and how to design a new question that is empowering and resourceful!

It will also help you get clarity on your vision of the future you want to create and fuel your actions with great emotion to keep you inspired and motivated.Doing this tool properly involves several elements, and doing so will make you jump out of bed in the morning and keep you focused on your mission!

I talk about some of the latest research on how elite athletes and top performers set their goals, which actually challenges the conventional SMART format. (Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Time based)The new research says that creating specific goals can be challenging for most people, and that there is a more effective method called "open goals" that can make the experience of working toward you goal more enjoyable and create motivation.I give you my take on this new research and why it may not be totally accurate and why this new method of "open goals" can be problematic. And, I give you our solution for making this a great strategy for pursuing your goals and resolutions this year. 

In this episode, we give you tools for diagnosing your "mental software" to make sure it's working properly and getting you the results you want. These tools will help you maintain your momentum with your new "software" installation, and make sure you stay on track towards your goals.
