The Strong Within Weekly Affirmation Podcast

Ever feel like you're supposed to have it all figured out—but deep down, you're still searching for solid ground? What if the answer isn't becoming someone new, but rediscovering who you've always been? In this powerful episode of the Strong Within Affirmation Podcast, host Chris invites you on a journey that turns the idea of “starting over” on its head. Forget the shame, the fear of being exposed, or the pressure to keep up appearances. Through engaging storytelling (including a fresh look at Charles Dickens' Great Expectations) and honest, vulnerable reflections, Chris explores the magic that happens when we let go of who we think we should be—and come home to who we really are. You'll discover why “being common” isn't a flaw, but a foundational strength, and how to unearth the truths waiting beneath the surface of everyday life. Along the way, Chris shares personal stories, timeless wisdom, and bite-sized coaching moments that'll leave you asking: What if the most courageous act is simply becoming yourself? Ready to shift your foundation and step into the next version of you—rooted, real, and unapologetically authentic? Press play and find out how to focus on becoming before arriving. The transformation starts from within. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there, worksheets, or other bonuses I am including with the podcast) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247 Let's connect on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by: - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Have you ever felt invisible — like no matter how much you give, no one really sees you? In today's episode, we explore the deeper truth behind that feeling: It was never about the world finally noticing you. It was always about you remembering yourself. Through personal stories, deep reflections, and a powerful guided meditation, we'll walk together through the hidden agreements that keep us chasing validation — and into the freedom of becoming our own reflection. If you've ever wondered whether your kindness, your effort, or your heart truly mattered... this conversation is here to remind you: You were never invisible. You were simply being polished. So...tune in, take a breath, and come home to yourself again. If this episode resonates, share it with someone who needs to remember their own light too. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there, worksheets, or other bonuses I am including with the podcast) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247 Let's connect on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by: - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Welcome back to the Strong Within Affirmation Podcast, I'm your host, Chris, and this is episode 718 for February 2024, titled "I Stopped Living In The Fantasy, So I Could Create A Future". This week, we're delving deep into the power of presence, the art of envisioning our desired reality, and how we can move from being trapped in a cycle of fear and procrastination to forging a future that aligns with our deepest aspirations. Sometimes life can feel like a constant battle with distractions and fear—often leading us to retreat into the comfort of the future, or what I like to call the 'fantasy'. But what if I told you that the only path to authenticity and genuine success is through embracing the now and taking those day-to-day small wins? Together, we will explore how to create that vision for ourselves, learn from my personal journey and struggles, and hear an inspiring story of a client's extraordinary transformation. As a personal trainer and mindset and success coach, I understand the courage it takes to break free from imposter syndrome and the stories that hold us back. Fear can often manifest as a decision-making blocker, something I've faced during my break from the podcast, which was rooted in perfectionism and fear. In today's episode, we will address these challenges head-on, discuss the importance of bravery in both big and small acts, and how we can reclaim our worthiness to achieve the extraordinary. Get ready to shift your mindset, as we emphasize the mantra "I stopped living in the fantasy so I could begin creating a future". This isn't just about envisioning your success—it's about laying the foundations for habitual courage, building unwavering self-belief, and converting your deepest fears into fuel for your journey. So are you ready to redefine courage and reshape your reality? Let's dive into this transformative session and come out stronger on the other side. Stay tuned, and don't forget that through affirmations, steadfast visioning, and persistence, you are always just one small win away from the future you've always dreamed of. Let's get into it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in coaching, email and text me your contact info along with your biggest struggle right now.

The reason I am always wearing a Strong Within shirt is not just because I started my coaching business with its name, but because I choose to embody it every day. Sometimes I am extremely successful, and sometimes I am left wanting to be a little bit better. But wearing the shirt most days ( I wear a Strong WIthin shirt almost every day...unless I haven't done laundry yet, lol), it is the reminder to embody what and who I am wanting to be. I wanted to share a few pictures of me and Rusty on the lawn during our time together. I don't like to say our last hours together because he is now with me all the time. And every time I feel sad about the loss of a great friend or family member I like to say this to myself, "I know he is happy and in a good place now, so no matter if Rusty is with me or not, I know he is doing great and that's all I have ever wanted for him."     In this podcast, I talk about the power of being unrealistic with your goals, your life, and learning the power of how miracles can happen at any moment. We expect too little, and we get exactly what we focus on...so join me for today's podcast and learn how to be unrealistic in your life in a good way to change the course of your life.

In this episode there were MANY take aways but I am focusing on 3 topics and the lessons you can get from this podcast: Understanding Trauma and Healing - Trauma and protection can lead to being tight and unable to fully release and heal - Similar to muscles that get injured and remain in an isometric state to protect themselves - Like myofascial release techniques like foam rolling and massage can help activate the golgi tendon organ to relax the muscle and release knots...we can do the same with our emotions and mental states Reframing and Shifting Vibrational Frequency - Focusing on trauma can create a cycle of overprotection and hinder the healing process.- Reframing emotions can help in processing them more efficiently and moving on - Being the observer and not getting stuck in victimhood or trauma can prevent staying stuck in it for a long time - Changing the vibrational frequency can be important Dissociating from Problems and Focusing on Solutions- People often get stuck in the box and can't see outside of it when they focus too hard on the problem. - Focusing too much on the problem trains the subconscious to only focus on the problem and not the solution. - We should train the subconscious to become observers of the problem instead of getting sucked into it. - By doing so, we disassociate ourselves from the problem and can find solutions more easily. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247 Let's connect on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by:  - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Let's connect on social media. I am putting new stuff out all the time and I want to see what you are up to: Instagram: @thechrisohearn Facebook: @thechrisohearn Hi In this podcast I talk about the 5 reasons why being good isn't going to achieve the life you want, and how to go from being just good enough to creating the best life and situations for yourself...and the people around you. These principles ring true for me because I was always trying to be the good guy, the giver, the selfless one. And while those all are good things to strive to be...it was actually killing me because while it was about feeling good, it was more about HAVING to be validated--to prove my worthiness. And thus I wasn't abusing or finding myself addicted to drugs or alcohol...I was constantly seeking self-worth in people and things that could NEVER give me what I was seeking. Because we know it to be true that we can only give that to ourselves...so how do we end that vicious cycle then? Wouldn't it be nice to BE who you want to be, to stop trying to please everyone, and be your authentic self-to take off your masks, and live in accordance with the values, wishes, and manners that will make your life full? Then join me for this podcast and let me know what you think. This has changed my life, and I think it will yours too. P.S. I tried a new mic setting, so let me know if there are things that need to be augmented (too loud, not clear enough, or sounds better...let me know your opinions and send me an email about it or anything else you would like to talk about chris@strongwithin.com )   Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247 Let's connect on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by: - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

Stuck in an unwanted emotion and want to get out of it? Want to get healing from it? Well, it starts with ignoring that emotion. Now, that may sound weird, but if we want to get rid of something we feel we need to eradicate it, we need to figure out how to delete it from our lives, and so we must focus on it. And maybe that might work, but when I am working with any of my clients...we are trying to get to the structure behind the emotion. The unresourceful state that is CAUSING that emotion to rear its ugly head when any of the present conditions happen. So if you'd like to figure out how to not only think differently about your healing but get to the deeper root of change...then join me in this podcast.  I also have a few spots that have opened in my coaching program. I am specifically looking for successful entrepreneurs who are finding they are having a hard time connecting to their lives like they used to. Are you finding that friends and other relationships feel constrained or you can't find quality people in your life who support and build you up. Maybe you feel you have reached the pinnacle of your success and it seems like it's all downhill or you feel lost and unsure where to go next. Or that you just have lost the excitement for your life like you used to once have, as you are just punching your time clock each day unfulfilled and feeling lost. If this sounds like you, let's set a time to chat as I would love to serve you with a transformational call.  Let me be clear...I am not selling you coaching...I am creating the transformation first, and if it serves you in a manner that changes and transforms your life...then we can talk about moving forward. I am looking to serve only right now first. Email me at chris@strongwithin.com and ALSO text me at 865-219-3247 just in case the email goes to my spam folder. I don't want to miss you.

If you're feeling depressed or melancholy looking at the calendar after Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate), it is due to one reason- regret that you are most likely in the same spot at the end of the year as you were when you started. However, that doesn't have to be the case. If you ever wonder why successful people are...well, successful...it's because they operate on a different level. They don't chase the goal...the BECOME the goal. And thinking about this got me to creating a group coaching course called The Strong Within Ultimate Life, where I will guide you through 6 foundational principles to BE at the goal instead of chasing your goals and dreams. This course will help you begin operating from your inherent strengths to evolve the life that suits you...because it's from the tools that are within you.

You wake up another day feeling dissatisfied with your place in life. You feel out of alignment with your purpose, or maybe you have forgotten or no longer know what it is. And maybe it feels like this is a place of permanence and you can't change...but what if this was the breakthru you were looking for? Every place of growth always came from a place of needing to shed, step into, and evolve and I am looking forward to serving you with my new course The Strong Within Ultimate Life that I will be launching in January on realigning your life. www.strongwithin.com/swgoal We normally work towards goals by GETTING things. Yet, in this course, it is about realigning yourself and your energy WITH the goal's energy so you aren't fighting to GET goals but to connect and understand that you already ARE at the goal. It's a course on BEING rather than DOING. So if you have been feeling stuck, plateaued or just want to evolve into who you are meant and want to be...then this course is for you. It will be a 60-day journey of creating from a place of purpose and honing a new routine of thought, action, and speech about who you are and what you are doing with your days. I will have assignments, video lessons, a planner to work through and live group coaching sessions each week.' I would love for you to be a part of this, so if you are ready to step into your power and live a Strong Within Ultimate Life, then I want you in the program.

COME JOIN my new coaching and video course to help you master your mindset to overcome the emotions and crippling thoughts that have kept you trapped...If you would like to have a total transformation to seeing the person in the mirror that loves who it sees looking back, if you want to rid your crippling states of mindset that are keeping you trapped in your own personal hells... then email mail me at chris@strongwithin.com and send me a text too as my email sometimes can be wonky at 865-219-3247 saying I'm interested in your new course...and I'll add you to my email list to keep you informed when I finalize everything and to keep you in the know, and you'll get some cool free things along the way Now onto the podcast...Should We Take Life More Seriously??? I ask the question of what if our life was a play, what if all the world was a play and we are but the actors on this stage. Would a new focal point help us with our crippling fears, worries, and anxieties? Would we relinquish our depression and suicidal thoughts seeing that what we had been focusing on wasn't as serious as we had made it to be? Would we let go of those destructive thoughts that we tell ourselves that --no one ever stays and are we meant to be alone for the rest of our lives, or that if we don't make this amount of money (or more) then we will have failed our families, or that we even look in the mirror and hate who we have become and don't even recognize ourselves anymore... well, this podcast is for you. If you would like a shift in your emotional states, and a shift in your mindset to begin seeing hope instead of despair...then join me on this journey of unfolding some of the beliefs and habits that have kept us stuck in a negative loop pattern.

What do they want, purpose, comfort things are going to be ok, a way to stop getting stuck Stop saying you're stuck...it's killing you.

There's a pandemic going on, but it isn't what you think it is. One of the greatest diseases or addictions we have is complaining and looking for the worst in a moment. I do understand why we do it, it's easier to find what's wrong. We have the belief if we see what is wrong first then we can take action to change it. Yet, we focus too much on the problems and find that we have a tendency to stay in those places that keep us stuck in our complaining. In this week's podcast, I talk about the hero in the journey that will save us from this outbreak...who do you think that hero is?

What is the greatest pathway to happiness? In this episode, I talk about a personal experience of euphoria by becoming aware of what a moment can be. Kind of like lucid dreaming, but more like lucid living-being truly awake while your eyes are open. If you'd like to find peace at any moment within your life then give this episode a listen.

Are you an entrepreneur or business owner who would like to be finishing up their 3rd project by 10am instead of only getting started on their 3rd cup of coffee by then? I am looking for 5 entrepreneurs or business owners who would like to create ultimate life productivity, a Strong Within Life, by doing things a little different than the same old pathway that you're feeling stuck on. In this pandemic, I understand how hard it can be to be stuck in a time where you feel unmotivated to do anything…the confusion and distractions that are vying for our attention every day pile up and you find yourself watching more tv, sleeping more, or creating other ways to escape from doing the things you used to love…well if this is describing you right now, I am creating a beta program for high performers like you who are feeling stuck at the moment. We think that a massive shift needs to happen, but I have been creating a program and pathway that focuses on your strengths and helps you to find your north star to guide you when you are feeling unmotivated, hopeless, and stressed out. So if you are a business owner or entrepreneur and would like to be a part of this beta program then email or text me ( chris@strongwithin.com or phone: (865)-219-3247 ) and say in the subject line "business beta program" and let's set up a time to chat and see if we are a good fit for each other.   Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247follow me on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by: - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.

We can look at what we have to do in a moment, or we can ask who we want to be in a moment. In this podcast, I tell a story of a seemingly simple moment where I could have continued the path I was traveling, but I asked what is it I really want from myself in this moment. These small moments are the ones that can change our lives. They seem small or even insignificant, but the more we awaken and ask better questions...then the more we find ourselves being thrust into the dreams we hope for our lives. Join me in the podcast to help remind you of who you want to be, rather than being stuck thinking about what you have to do.

What if the things you loved, the things that mattered to you, all of the sudden...disappeared? The things that matter to us...we find ways to keep them in our lives by giving our love, our time, and even our money to keep them in our lives.

It takes a great deal of effort, money, and coordinating to continually bring it to you...to keep it going.

What would it feel like to be able to get instantly confident before that speech you had to give in front of C level exec in your company, or to rid writers block almost immediately, or to start a goal without hesitation instead of avoiding it like you have for the past few months (or years)? In this podcast, I am going to go over the 3 ways to create instant confidence before you start the work. The technique I present is something I do before I write or record any podcast, before I step in front of a camera, or how I find ways to be more creative in all avenues of my life. We think that we are unsuccessful in our goals because we aren't motivated, or we feel we don't have the education or tools, or maybe we have told ourselves that it's just not in our wheelhouse to make it happen. But those are all lies that are keeping us comfortable from not moving forward because of our fears of failing. And in today's episode, I am going to help you create instant confidence if you practice this simple technique before you sit down to do the work. I am looking forward to hearing about your successes.   When you support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast you are helping to keep it going.

Are coincidences really coincidences or something more? In this episode, I speak of a recent set of coincidences, and I examine how our perception of what happens to us during these times can either be helpful or harmful in our self-development. So grab a seat, and listen in. I don't think it's a coincidence that you and I connected today ;-).

Do you know why failure is easy? It's not because it's in our DNA, or because we can't do something...it's because we have decided to know failure. We have opened our door to the so called demons and blame them for our misfortune...when only one person is responsible--ourselves. And not because we are irresponsible, stupid, or broken, but because we have decided to tell a story of why we can't instead of asking "who do I want to be in this moment." To know success means to work to understand it, not just have it when it is convenient. So join me on today's podcast and let's get to know our demons a little better, not because they are there to destroy us, but more because they are misunderstood, and we have labeled them incorrectly. Let's stop buying into our hurt, and start living within our happiness.

You are not struggling during this pandemic…you are struggling to see what this pandemic means to you. It's Thanksgiving this week, and I never talk about appreciation or gratitude since it's so overdone around this time, but I thought this was a good time to change where we are putting our attention. So while everyone is talking about what sucks in this moment, I am going to remind you why there is something amazing happening with you and to you. So join me and let's figure out what this hard time in our lives means at this moment together.

Is your worth tied too much to other people's opinions? During these harder times, it's so easy to blame other people for our struggles and stresses. It's easy to get angry, stressed, or upset and put the responsibility upon others as we say THEY made me feel this way. In this week's podcast, I talk about why having a higher opinion of yourself and your worth will create more calm in all your relationships, and it will create more peace in all you experience as well. Last week I gave out a free PDF as a thank you for listeners for the 7 habits of Serenity and challenged us to see how we can check off these 7 habits each day to have more serenity.  If you would like to join us on the challenge and get your checklist as well, CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE CHECKLIST Help Support The Strong Within Affirmation Podcast By Going To: www.strongwithin.com/support (You can also get the transcripts there) Thanks for listening.  I'm sending great energy your way as we become Strong Within together, Holistic Performance and Personal Development Coach- Chris O'Hearn My links: https://linktr.ee/strongwithin  Contact info- email: chris@strongwithin.com  phone:865-219-3247follow me on social media: www.facebook.com/thechrisohearn  www.instagram.com/thechrisohearn  Music by: - Zest by basematic (c) copyright 2011 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. - I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license.
