An indulgent emotion is a non-useful emotion that keeps us spinning out for no purpose. The most common indulgent emotions are confusion, overwhelm, and worry.Experiencing indulgent emotions is ALWAYS a choice, and it's one that we typically make unconsciously to avoid scarier emotions like fear.If you're ready to take all of this information to the next level, Click Here.

When you set a goal that you haven't achieved before, there is typically a point you hit where all of your emotions come up and you freak out a little bit. It is very normal during this time to want to give up and blame circumstances for failing. It is important that during this time, you sit with your emotions and commit to doing thought work. You need to believe extra hard during this time in order to get through the freakout. You can see Andrew's other resources here.

As humans, we naturally want to compare ourselves to others. There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but we often use comparison against ourselves.

Hate isn't personal. Well... it is, but only for the people choosing it. When you put yourself into the world, you are going to experience hate from people. It doesn't mean anything about you. In fact, the only reason you would ever have a negative reaction to hate is if you believe what the haters say. That means that when someone else's hate affects you, take it as a sign you need to work internally on yourself and your beliefs. I choose to thank the haters because they are my greatest teachers. They show me where my work on my self is, and the best part, they ALWAYS do it for free.

We've talked about it before, but the importance of questioning your thoughts and beliefs can never be overstated. When you practice the skill of finding and interrogating your thoughts, you are able to choose what you want to believe. That means that you are also able to choose what results you want to create and actually create them. Your thoughts create your results, not the other way around. If you don't have the life you want, you need to start by looking at what you believe. Coaching is a fantastic way to do just that.If you're ready to take this to the next level and want to get information about 1-on-1 coaching with Andrew, you can sign up for a free consult at: https://linktr.ee/andrewcipriano

A lot of people are worried to choose one thing because they think they will end up being stuck doing that thing forever. So, they waiver in indecision and take no action at all. However, it is actually not choosing which leaves you stuck, or pigeonholed.In reality, it's not about what you choose to do to make meaningful income, but rather who you become while you do it. Once you have become the type of person who makes meaningful income, you are free to branch out and do whatever you'd like. Ready to make your own meaningful income? Then sign up for a free one-on-one mini-session with Andrew today.

If you want to create meaningful income (or any big result) in your life, it's really helpful to learn a little bit about how your brain(s) work. Think of yourself as having two brains that want completely different things; like Siamese twins fighting for different career paths. Your animal brain wants only to seek immediate survival by seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and doing it efficiently. Your human brain wants things like meaning, lasting happiness, and fulfillment. If you don't learn how to put your human brain in charge, your animal brain runs the show. Then you end up putting your dreams on the back burner, using lots of drugs and eating a lot of donuts. Thankfully, your human brain is equipped to override your animal brain. All you have to do is learn how to manage your thoughts and feel your emotions.

Never underestimate the real cost of living a small life. All that you could be is not only wasted for yourself but also for your friends, family, kids, and the world. Imagine who you could become if you were willing to do things that scared you the most. Imagine if you voluntarily confronted the truth of your life with humility like a fool at the beginning of his/her journey. Playing it safe to feel secure is not an act of nobility. Should you decide to say NO to yourself, know that the consequences are far greater than you imagine. *This episode is a little bit heavier than most of my podcasts, but I feel that it needs to be. Saying NO to yourself is something that should be heavy and taken very seriously. Thank you for listening.

Loving the decisions you make is always an option. You have two options after you make a decision: You can either find evidence for the decision, or you can find evidence against it. Choosing to regret decisions is a game that you will always lose. It creates unnecessary suffering and blocks you from the benefits and knowledge the decision has to offer you. It is always a better choice to find reasons why you love the decision you made, even if... you wouldn't make that same decision again.

One of the most important things that you can ever learn how to do is separate fact from story. Facts, or circumstances, are things that are outside of your control. Thoughts are sentences in your mind that are always 100% optional. When you're able to separate facts from thoughts, you gain the ability to create results regardless of your circumstances. You also learn that facts don't have the ability to hurt you or create emotions. This understanding is the key to creating a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling.

When it comes to rational, scientific thinking, I am a huge fan. However, there is an element of the self-help/life coaching world that cannot and should not be explained away rationally. It is often referred to as woo-woo, pseudoscience, mysticism, supernatural, or occult. In this episode, I talk about why it is so important to sometimes consider believing before having evidence to do so. When you can believe in the unseen, magical things happen. For a rational look into the world of manifestation, I recommend you read Dr. Joe Dispenza's "Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself".To get a glimpse of a truly OG source of manifestation, I recommend you read Wallace Wattle's "The Science of Getting Rich". Enjoy!

Fear is the biggest reason why people don't chase after their dreams. The truth is, fear is always going to be there so we might as well learn how to deal with it now. At the end of life, people regret the things they didn't do far more than the things they did. The presence of fear marks that we are on the right path. It is the number one reason why most people quit and the exact reason why we shouldn't. Book referenced: The Kybalion written by THREE INITIATES

I originally decided to study psychology in an attempt to learn about motivation. Little did I know that the answers I was seeking would eventually be found in the self-help world of life coaching. Today, I talk about motivation in the most simple way imaginable. It turns out that you don't need to get a psych degree to understand how to motivate yourself into action. Enjoy!

Our current beliefs create our current results.So, if you want to change your life, you have to start by changing what you believe about yourself, your potential, and the world. The best news anyone can ever give you is that you have 100% control to believe whatever you want. A lot of us completely miss out on this opportunity by unconsciously recycling the same limiting beliefs that have been taught to us by our parents and society. Only you get to decide what to believe about life but you've got to be willing to question everything you currently believe about yourself and what's possible. If you believed that you were 100% worthy exactly as you were, how would you show up differently at work, with your family, and to yourself?

This is a question that I get asked all the time and an episode that I was excited to record. In order to make big decisions in your life, there are a couple of guidelines that I like to follow. The biggest thing is to remember that there is no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" choice. It is also really important to make decisions from a place of complete emotional responsibility.

When we don't know what we want from life, we often feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and stuck. These emotions typically do not lead to us finding answers or taking action. In addition, it is very common for us not to believe that what we really want is possible. When we don't believe that we can have (or deserve) what we actually want, we end up on paths that make us unexcited about our futures. People are always asking me what they should do with their lives and how to find out when they don't know. This episode is my answer.

Emotions are the reason for all of our actions and inactions. In this episode, I talk about the four ways in which we can deal with our emotions. Our willingness to experience emotions is the key to living out our dreams. However, our society teaches us to do the opposite. When we are constantly resisting, reacting to, or avoiding our emotions, we find ourselves out of control in our lives and unable to do what we truly want like maintain a healthy weight or start the business we have been dreaming about.

In this episode, I talk about how you can commit to the process of believing new things. Our current thinking creates our current results so, in order to create new results, we have to believe new thoughts. This is one of the most important skills we can learn as human beings and truly one of the most challenging. However, mastering this skill IS the difference between a life that is mediocre and a life that is extraordinary. *If you have not listened to episodes 3 & 4, I recommend doing so before this episode.

One of my favorite thoughts to practice believing is that at this moment, you are exactly where you should be. We all want to rush to happiness but in doing so, we miss the entire point that you don't need your circumstances to change in order to change how you feel. Where you are right now is the perfect place to learn how to manage your mind. Then, with a managed mind, we can achieve our goals without falling into the trap of thinking that we should be happy all the time. You are exactly where you should be. Rubik's Head Inspiration Meme

Today, I speak to someone who is currently demonstrating what it is to make meaningful income. I met Jack Lewandowski when I was working at the psychiatric hospital. At the time, he was working as a recreational therapist. Today, he has taken a career shift into the transportation industry where he works as a flight attendant. We talk about how his jobs fit into his own definition of meaningful income and wrap the episode up with a little bit of coaching. Enjoy!

A lot of people stop investing in themselves after they finish high school or college. They're willing to work 60 hours a week for 10 years to buy a new Tesla and a $450,000 house but be completely unwilling to invest in their physical and mental health. If this strategy worked in the long run, I'd be all in, but it doesn't and often leads to a crisis in midlife. In order to continually be satisfied with our lives as we age, we have to keep investing in ourselves. We need to dedicate time, money, and energy to things that will better us like learning, exercising, eating healthy, sleeping, and coaching. When was the last time you spend more than $1,000 on something that will increase your value over time? A lot of people would be more willing to spend $3,000 on a vacation to Las Vegas than $2,000 on an 8-week coaching program that will dramatically change their life.

You get exactly what you plan for. That's why goals are such an important tool in building extraordinary lives. Goals are a way to direct our minds so that we don't spend too much time in pleasure-seeking and instant gratification. What results have you planned to get over the next year... two years.... five years? We don't plan because we want to avoid the discomfort that setting big goals for ourselves brings. Well, the truth is you're going to be uncomfortable either way. So you might as well plan to get something you want out of it.
