Welcome to the Elevate Life Project with your host Michael Kohan. At the Elevate Life Project, we are dedicated to inspiring people to achieve their goals and live their dreams to their highest potential. Aim higher. Elevate your life. Hello my friends. Welcome to another talk. Today, I want to discuss how empowering habits help us live our best lives. Empowering habits, like starting your day early, fuel your success. They boost your energy, focus, and confidence. Meditation and planning are empowering habits that enhance your mental clarity and productivity. Nourishing your body with healthy foods gives you the strength to tackle any challenge. Learning and self-improvement keep your mind sharp and open to new opportunities. On the other hand, inhibiting habits like procrastination drain your potential. Unhealthy eating habits can leave you feeling sluggish and unmotivated. Mindless scrolling steals your time and focus. Choose empowering habits and break free from inhibiting ones. Transform your life one habit at a time. Remember, every habit is a step towards the life you desire.

Today, I'm going to talk about motivation. Motivation. It's the invisible force that drives us to achieve our goals, overcome obstacles, and pursue our dreams. But what is it really? Motivation isn't just about getting started. It's about keeping going when things get tough. It's that spark that ignites passion, the push that makes us strive for more. It begins with setting clear, achievable goals, knowing what you want and why you want it, and visualizing its success, but also embracing the journey. Surround yourself with positivity, the right people, the right environment, the right mindset. Celebrate small wins, learn from setbacks, and keep your eyes on the prize. Guys, remember, motivation comes from within. It's about believing in yourself, staying focused, and never giving up. So take the first step. Keep moving forward. Your dreams are waiting for you. So go out there, stay motivated, aim higher, and elevate your life. Thank you for listening to the Elevate Life Project. I hope you enjoyed this episode.

In this episode, we delve into the simple yet profound ways to stop caring about what others think. We believe in inspiring individuals to achieve their goals and live their dreams at their highest potential. In our society today, many of us are bogged down by the heavy weight of others' opinions, a fundamental concern rooted deep in our evolutionary past. This episode aims to provide you with 7 strategies to let go of this dated mindset, enabling you to live life according to your own terms. The discussion revolves around identifying how inconsequential we are to others and shedding the fear of our deeds and decisions being scrutinized. From realizing that most simply do not care, to acknowledging that the end results of any decision are our responsibility to bear; these strategies will put you on the path of independence and freedom. Whether you are praised or criticized, remember that you cannot please everyone. Moreover, no one else can claim to know what is best for you. Remember, life is too short to be living it for others! It is time to liberate yourself from the opinions of others, to breathe in the fresh air of self-confidence, and to elevate your life with each step towards your dreams. So aim higher, and embrace the beauty of living life on your own terms. Thank you for tuning into the Elevate Life Project. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Elevate Life Project. In this episode, host Michael Kohan sheds light on the fundamental aspects of motivating oneself to attain remarkable achievements in life. Kohan questions, what does it really take to motivate yourself? He points out a common conflict that many individuals face, the disconnect between planning and action. From setting goals to making plans and being excited, somehow procrastination sneaks in when it comes to actually implementing those plans. Kohan earnestly addresses this issue and presents ways for mastering this ability. Kohan suggests giving attention to things under your control, finding a purpose that inspires you, focusing on small wins, acting first, enhancing your mood, and monitoring your progress. In doing so, he says, you can enhance your motivation and achieve better results in life. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on the things you can manipulate and avoiding wasting resources on anything beyond your influence. Regardless of the task at hand, Kohan underlines the importance of focusing on what your contributions could achieve at the end of the journey. Furthermore, Kohan explores the concept of 'small wins' and the impact they can have on achieving larger goals. He argues that by breaking bigger goals into smaller, digestible pieces, success feels more attainable and exciting. This method subdues the feelings of being overwhelmed and enhances the motivation to pursue the goal head-on. Kohan encourages listeners not to wait for motivation, but rather to act first.

Michael Kohan    Elevate Life Project:  Mindfulness | Spirituality | Success | Personal Growth   Elevate Life Project:  How to Achieve a Stretch Goal   Podcast:  Quick Tips For Finding Motivation   What's your true purpose?  Free Quiz by visiting https://elevatelifeproject.com/purpose    If you liked this Podcast, please subscribe and write us a review.  This is what helps us stand out, so more people can find this show.  To Write us a Review please open up this Podcast in the your app  on your computer and search for Living Life on Purpose https://elevatelifeproject.com/podcast    Show Notes:   Quick Tips For Finding Motivation Finding motivation can be easier said than done. Some days, you'll wake up and feel full of energy, ready to tackle the day and any challenges that might come with it. Other days it's a struggle just to get out of bed. When that happens, you may need some extra help getting on track.   The good news is that when motivation doesn't come naturally, there are still steps you can take to create it for yourself.   Here are the quick tips you can use to rediscover your motivation.   Strike A Pose   It might sound a little silly, but you'd be surprised how effective this strategy can be. Striking a pose has more of an impact on your mental state than you may think. Holding your body in certain positions literally changes your internal body chemistry, your blood flow, and how you feel.   Studies have shown just how important body language can be to the way we think and feel.   Striking a power pose, with your shoulders back, head up, and chest forward can give you a dose of strength and confidence. You can always practice your poses in private if you feel self-conscious.   Eat A Dopamine-Releasing Reward   Eating a pile of chocolate as soon as you get into work probably won't give you the immediate motivation boost you need. However, you can use dopamine-boosting tools to your advantage when you're low on energy.   A small piece of chocolate at the end of every tough task teaches your brain there's something positive to look forward to when you get your work done. You don't have to rely on chocolate if you're on a diet – nuts are just as good.   Eating a dopamine-rich substance stimulates you and lifts your heart rate, which can significantly increase motivation. It also has a slight antidepressant effect, so you're less likely to be dragged down by the blues. Make Deals With Yourself   Sometimes you need help convincing yourself to put in extra effort at work. Although you know you should be doing your best every day, it can be difficult for that alone to keep you motivated. So, find something else to motivate you.   For instance, make a deal with yourself that you're going to give yourself some kind of reward if you accomplish this difficult task.   If your day is seriously dragging, tell yourself that you'll take a walk in the park after work with the dog to get rid of excess stress. You can even treat yourself to an ice cream, or an evening with your favorite movie – it's up to you.   Move The Goalposts   Sometimes, the reason we struggle to stay motivated is we're putting too much pressure on ourselves to achieve huge things. Although it's tempting to set ambitious goals for yourself, don't ask yourself to accomplish too much too fast.   Often, it's easier to break big tasks down into smaller ones. You can arrange your schedule into a series of small wins, with each one giving you another motivational boost and endorphin rush when you complete it.   Deciding exactly which task you tackle first on your to-do list is up to you. For many people, it's helpful to tackle the most difficult task initially, because they feel it sets them up for success for the remainder of the day.   Get Outdoors   Getting outside is one of the best ways to motivate yourself and improve your mindset. Not only is it a chance to breathe some fresh air, you also move yourself into a different environment.   Walking around outside will give your body an endorphin boost and help wake you up if you're feeling sluggish.   Ideally, go to a green place where you can see lots of trees, grass, and other natural things. Greenery is proven to help lower depression and improve your mood in a lot of cases.   Give Yourself A Break   Don't beat yourself up because you feel less motivated on some days. It's natural to feel a little less energetic on certain days.   Using the tips above, you should be able to get enough motivation going to complete your tasks, until you're naturally motivated again.

It's easy to make plans for how we want to change our lives. It's harder to get the habits and overcome the obstacles we need to succeed.   Does that mean it's better to give up and just decide not to set any more goals?   Goals are important. A person who lives without setting goals is like driving without a destination. Such a person allows things to happen by chance rather than intentionally pursuing the outcomes that matter the most to him.   The goal-setting process takes effort, but reviewing your goals will give you a road map on your journey toward success.   What are some secrets to goal setting? Try these:   Gain clarity around the things you want for your life. Think about what you want to achieve in the coming year, five years, or even ten years. What goals do you want to accomplish? Visualize them in your life.   A clear, positive image of yourself can help you work to achieve your goals. If you find it hard deciding what you want, think about events that made you happy. Consider the achievements of people you admire. A goal can result from anything.   You can choose to take a 30-minute walk, strengthen your skills at presentations, or learn a new language. Your goals might be large or small. The important thing is that you set them and achieve them.   Set goals that focus on the journey as well as the destination. Many people make the mistake of setting goals that concentrate only on the destination. People usually say they want a bikini body, earn a 6-figure income, buy a house, or lose 30 pounds.   The problem with this approach is that it focuses solely on the result. You tend to see the end and ignore the challenges on the journey. That explains why many people set goals but stall out shortly after.   When they realize that the result they seek is not coming as quickly as they expected, they give up.   The best type of goal is one that alters our life direction. And the best way to find out what those are is to search for them from within and apply them to your life. Instead of focusing on what you want to achieve, think about where you'd like to go instead.   Make your plans detailed and action-packed. Sometimes our goals might seem like we're shooting for the stars, an impossible task. But when we break them down into more manageable steps, we start realizing that we have a fighting chance for success.   And sometimes, all we need is a little bit of encouragement to help us get started. Case in point: Before an aspiring wrestler reaches outstanding goals, he might start overweight. But instead of focusing on the difference, he focuses on where he wants to go.   Instead of stopping him, his parents might also help him develop a personalized diet plan. He might also start working out at the gym each day. His diet and training will help him lose the weight he needs to reach his goal of becoming a world-class wrestler.   The point is, a detailed action plan and a bit of encouragement can go a long way.   Micro habits. Instead of setting big goals, successful people set small, incremental practices. The plans aren't huge, but they still have a significant impact on your life.   For example, you might set big goals for your career, like moving up to an executive position. But you might start with small plans like coming to work earlier, leaving a bit later, and working all the time that you're at work.   You may not see yourself reaching that goal in a few weeks. But the small habits add up over time.   Goal setting is like dieting – it's easy to start but harder to stay on. But, if you keep at it for the first few months, you'll learn a lot, and after a while, you'll see that your goals are within reach!

Unfortunately, or fortunately, it's not. The fact that bigger successes are so challenging limits your competition in life. Most people would rather order a pizza and watch a movie from the couch. There aren't many people with the willingness to work consistently on a big goal.   There's a lot less competition than you think!   If you believe you weren't born with great talent or intelligence, you're still in good shape. It's your ability to persist that matters the most.   Consider these ideas:   Most of the big things you do are 95% unenjoyable and 5% bliss. Whether you're training for a marathon, building a business, or writing a book, most of the process is unenjoyable. What drives you is the feeling that you believe you'll have at the end. Whether or not you're successful is dependent on how well you can get yourself to do that 95% that isn't fun. Ideas are overrated. Sure, you need a revolutionary idea if you want to create the next Facebook. Most of the super successful people you personally know or read about didn't have a great idea. They had an acceptable idea that they beat to death each day. Persistence, not brilliance, is their key to great success. A daily emphasis on fun and pleasure leads to long-term failure. The more you enjoy each day, the less likely you are to be successful in the long-term. Fortunately, if you're willing to delay your fun a bit so you can get some work done, you can potentially have all the fun you want for the rest of your life. Think about how you spend your typical day. Now, project yourself 5, 10, 20 years into the future. Where will your life logically end up after years of living your average day over and over? Become a skilled expert. You can become skilled at anything with practice. The key is to do it a lot. Doing the same thing many times, regardless of your failures along the way, is the way to reach expert status. You'll value your success more. The harder you work, the more meaningful your success will be. Your weaknesses quickly become apparent. You find out where you stand when you're persistent. The truth comes out! This is a good thing. You have an accurate representation in your mind of the challenge before you and your current level of expertise. Your success is in your hands. Since persistence is the most important component of success, it's entirely up to you whether or not you're successful. You don't need anything else. It also limits your competition. Not many people are willing to do the necessary work.   Think about how many hours NFL quarterbacks prepare all year long for their games. An NFL game might last for three hours on TV, but there's only a play occurring for 11 minutes each game. When you take into account the defense and special teams, that's less than 5.5 minutes that the quarterback is doing something.   Those 5.5 minutes X 16 games/year = 88 minutes.   Thousands of hours or preparation each season for less than an hour and a half of time spent actually playing football. Of all the men that believe being an NFL quarterback would be their dream job, 99.99% are dead wrong.   Persistence is the biggest part of achieving any big goal. Learn how to persist and you can live the life of your dreams. It's up to you.

We all know what it feels like–a sense of joy, contentment, and well-being. But what causes these feelings? And why do they vary from person to person?   There are many theories about happiness, but scientists have yet to come up with a definitive answer. However, some common themes come with happiness.   Here are five types of happiness that everyone can achieve with effort, time, and a positive mindset:   The happiness of accomplishment. This type of happiness comes from setting and achieving goals. It can be as simple as completing a long-overdue task of reaching a long-term goal, such as buying a house or starting a business.   When you set goals and work hard to achieve them, you build self-confidence. It can lead to a sense of accomplishment and happiness. How do you set achievable goals to improve your overall happiness and well-being?   First, you make a list of SMART goals. SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals. Goals need to be specific. Otherwise, you won't be able to measure your progress.   If a goal is too vague, such as “I want to be rich,” it's difficult to stay motivated because you won't know when you've achieved it.   Your goals should also be achievable and realistic. Trying to lose 20 pounds in one week is probably not going to happen, and if it does, it won't be sustainable.   Relevant goals are important to you and your current lifestyle. A goal like “I want to buy a yacht” might not be relevant if you live in an apartment and can't afford the maintenance costs.   A time-bound goal has a deadline, so you can measure your progress. “I want to save $20,000 in the next year” is an example of a time-bound goal.   For example, a SMART goal might look like this: I will start my business within the following year. You can make it even more specific by pinpointing the type of business you want to set up. Also, include a revenue target for the first year of operation.   Remember, it's important to have short-term and long-term goals to keep you motivated and happy. A short-term goal could be: “I will research business ideas for the next month.”   Long-term goals could be: “I will start my freelance writing business within the next year and make $50,000 in revenue during the first year of operation.” When you break down your goals into smaller chunks, they become less daunting and achievable.   Create a detailed action plan for the next few months to highlight the most important tasks you need to complete to achieve your goal. It will help you stay on track and make progress toward your goals. Finally, don't forget to celebrate your accomplishments along the way!   The happiness of love and connection. This type of happiness comes from strong relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. It's the feeling you get when surrounded by people you love and who love you back.   How can you achieve this type of happiness? The first step is to make time for the people in your life who matter most to you. If you're always busy with work or other commitments, finding time for your loved ones can be challenging.   Schedule regular catchups with friends and family members, even if it's just a quick coffee or phone call.   Make time for date nights or weekend getaways if you're in a romantic relationship. It's important to keep the spark alive and show your partner that you still care. Book a spa day with your partner and arrange game nights, romantic dinners, or movie nights.   It's also important to be supportive and understand when conflicts arise. Family members and friends are not perfect, just as you are not perfect. Be patient and try to see things from their perspective.   Last, don't forget to show your appreciation for the people in your life. A simple “thank you” or “I love you” can go a long way. A kind thank you note, a box of chocolates, or tickets to a theater show are excellent examples of how to show your loved ones how much you care.   The happiness of being in the moment. This type of happiness comes from enjoying the simple things in life and savoring special moments. It's being present and living the moment instead of looking to the future or dwelling on the past.   How can you achieve this type of happiness? One way to achieve this type of happiness is to be aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It's about living in the moment and not letting your mind wander.   Another way to achieve this type of happiness is to savor special moments. When something good happens, take a moment to appreciate it fully. For example, if you're on vacation and have a great time, take lots of photos and videos to remember the experience later.   Also, live in the moment by focusing on the things you can control, such as how you react to situations and letting go of the things you can't control. Examples of things you can't control are the weather, other people's actions, and traffic.   Lastly, remember to enjoy the simple things in life. It could be something as small as taking a relaxing bath or reading your favorite book. The key is to take the time to appreciate the things that make you happy.   The happiness of personal growth. This type of happiness comes from a sense of progress and achievement. It's the feeling you get when you reach a goal or accomplish something difficult.   One way to achieve this type of happiness is to challenge yourself. If you're always doing the same things, it's easy to get bored and feel you're not making any progress.   Challenging yourself can help you learn new things and feel a sense of accomplishment. It can also help you build confidence and self-esteem.   One way to challenge yourself is to take on a new hobby or activity that you're unfamiliar with. Another way is to set higher standards in your current hobbies or activities. For example, if you're a runner, challenge yourself to run a longer distance or a faster time.   The happiness of charity. This type of happiness comes from giving back and helping others. It's the feeling you get when you make a difference in someone else's life.   One way to achieve this type of happiness is by volunteering your time or donating money to a cause that you care about.   Volunteering your time can help you feel connected to a larger community and make a difference in someone else's life. Donating money can also help you feel good about yourself while supporting a cause that's important to you.   Another way to achieve this type of happiness is to do something nice for someone else. It could be something as small as holding the door open for someone or giving a compliment. These random acts of kindness can make someone's day and make you feel good at the same time.   You can also achieve this type of happiness by being there for someone when they need you. If a friend is going through a tough time, offer your support. If you have a skill or talent that could help someone, offer your help.   Happiness is achievable. These are just a few of the many ways you can achieve happiness. The key is to find what works for you and make it a part of your life.   Experiment with different activities and behaviors until you find something that makes you happy. Then, make it a habit to do those things regularly. Soon, you'll be on your way to a happier and more fulfilling life.

A winner's mindset is a powerful force that can help individuals achieve their goals and overcome obstacles. Whether you're striving for personal or professional success, developing a winner's mindset can be the key to unlocking your full potential. In this article, we will explore five valuable tips to help you cultivate and maintain a winner's mindset. Set Clear Goals The first step to developing a winner's mindset is to establish clear and specific goals. Without a clear destination in mind, it's challenging to stay motivated and focused. Your goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). When you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, you can channel your energy and efforts towards it. Break your long-term goals into smaller, manageable tasks to create a roadmap for success. Regularly reviewing and adjusting your goals will keep you on track and motivated. Embrace Challenges and Failure A winner's mindset isn't about avoiding challenges or failure; it's about embracing them as opportunities for growth. Instead of seeing setbacks as obstacles, view them as valuable learning experiences. Failure is a natural part of any journey towards success. When you encounter challenges, don't shy away from them—lean into them with determination and resilience. Remember, some of the greatest success stories are born from overcoming adversity. Embrace the growth mindset, which encourages you to see challenges as a chance to improve and develop new skills. Maintain a Positive Attitude Maintaining a positive attitude is crucial when cultivating a winner's mindset. Positive thinking not only boosts your confidence but also helps you persevere through difficult times. Practice gratitude by acknowledging the positive aspects of your life, and focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Surround yourself with positive influences, and avoid negative self-talk. Replace self-limiting beliefs with affirmations that empower you to believe in your abilities. A positive attitude is contagious and can inspire those around you, creating a supportive environment for personal growth and success. Develop Resilience Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adversity. It's a key trait of individuals with a winner's mindset. To develop resilience, learn to adapt to change and adversity. Understand that setbacks are a part of life and that you have the inner strength to overcome them. Practice stress-reduction techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to help you stay calm under pressure. Surround yourself with a support system of friends, mentors, and colleagues who can provide encouragement and guidance during tough times. Remember, resilience is a skill that can be cultivated with practice and perseverance. Take Consistent Action A winner's mindset is not just about thinking positively; it's also about taking consistent action towards your goals. Develop discipline and self-motivation to stay committed to your objectives, even when the going gets tough. Create a daily routine that aligns with your goals, and prioritize tasks that bring you closer to success. Celebrate your small victories along the way, as they can provide the motivation to keep moving forward. Taking consistent action not only builds momentum but also reinforces your belief in your ability to achieve your dreams. Conclusion Cultivating a winner's mindset is a journey that requires dedication, resilience, and a commitment to personal growth. By setting clear goals, embracing challenges and failure, maintaining a positive attitude, developing resilience, and taking consistent action, you can unlock your full potential and achieve the success you desire. Remember that a winner's mindset is not something you're born with; it's something you can develop and nurture over time. So, start today, and watch as your mindset propels you towards greater success and fulfillment in life.

Whether you're talking about playing chess, playing golf, or investing in real estate, a good foundation is crucial to accomplishment. While getting lost in the details can seem easy, stick to the basics and you'll win big.   Of course, the real experts in any field can do some incredible things that the beginner cannot. But the real difference between a pro and a novice is simply that the expert is   much better and more effective at the basic tasks that are fundamental to that skill.   Let's look at three simple ideas about how to master the basics in your field of choice. Real success will be sure to follow.   Expect mastery. You'll rarely exceed your own objectives, so expect a lot from yourself. If you're taking up golf, tell yourself that you're going to someday be one of the world's greatest golfers. While this may or may not be true, by adopting this approach, you remove any self-imposed psychological ceiling on your ultimate level of achievement.   Another approach is to imagine that you're eventually going to have to teach this skill to someone else. You'll need to know what you're doing so thoroughly that you can explain it to anyone.   Think about the long-term. Many people want to rush through the basics to get to the more interesting information. Or perhaps they believe that the more advanced work is where real power lies. But even with just a mastery of the basics, you can have huge successes. And to excel at the advanced work, you must first know where to start.   For example, if you don't understand the basics of chess, you're never going to have the foundation to support understanding the finer nuances of the game. If you don't master algebra, how will you ever be able to master calculus? Professional golfers spend the majority of their off-season doing nothing but perfecting the basics. They have a coach who works with them on their golf swing. That's largely all they do. How many times have they already swung a club in their lives? Also, remember that the guy instructing the professional golfer can't play golf as well as the professional he's teaching! He just knows how the swing works, which is the foundation of all of the advanced skills.   Avoid getting fancy. Always question the assumption that the solution to your current challenge is complicated. Ask yourself if the problem is really the result of a shortcoming in one or more basic skills. Rarely is some fancy technique going to be the answer.   If you can't boil an egg well, a space-age pot isn't going to help you become a better chef. If you can't strike a golf ball well, a $2,000 set of new golf clubs isn't going to do much to improve your golf game.   Thoroughly mastering the basics will take time, but it's time that's well spent. There are no shortcuts to real success. Adding a new skill to your repertoire is much easier if you have the expectation of first getting a good handle on the foundational skills. Time devoted to the basics is the key to long-lasting progress and success.

These goals, whether financial, physical, or personal, often feel daunting and evoke a sense of discomfort or resistance. Here's a breakdown of what we covered: Defining Stretch Goals: We define stretch goals as objectives that don't align with our past experiences or self-perceptions. For example, someone who has always struggled financially might find the goal of becoming a millionaire to be a stretch goal. Identifying Stretch Goals: You know a goal is a stretch when it causes physical discomfort or dread, leads to procrastination, or makes you indulge in distractions. Overcoming the Challenges: The journey to achieving a stretch goal is fraught with resistance and obstacles, often manifesting as negative emotions and behaviors. The Process to Achieve Stretch Goals: Write Down the Goal: Envision and document not just the goal, but the experience of achieving it. Embrace Positive Imagery: Continuously write, read, and imagine achieving your goal until negative emotions dissipate. Associate with Successful Individuals: Surround yourself with people who have achieved similar goals. Create and Implement a Plan: Develop a structured plan and refine it while using positive meditations for motivation. Monitor Your Progress: Constantly assess your feelings and actions, ensuring positivity and enthusiasm towards your goal. Eliminating Negativity: Addressing and removing negative feelings is crucial in aligning stretch goals with our self-image and making them achievable. Transforming Dreams into Possibilities: Following these steps can shift even the most ambitious stretch goals from daunting dreams to achievable realities. By the end of this episode, listeners will gain insights into identifying their stretch goals and learn practical strategies to overcome the challenges associated with achieving these goals. Tune in to start turning your wildest dreams into attainable achievements.
