Introduction to "The Strangest Secret" 2. The Power of Thought 3. Understanding True Success 4. Breaking Free from Conformity 5. Practical Application 6. Conclusion   Detailed Discussion:   1. Introduction to "The Strangest Secret" Earl Nightingale's 1956 recording, a cornerstone in personal development, has sold millions of copies and continues to inspire people worldwide with its profound insights into human potential and success.   2. The Power of Thought The fundamental principle "You become what you think about" forms the foundation of success. Only 5% of people succeed because they understand and apply this principle. The episode explores cultivating positive, goal-oriented thoughts and eliminating self-limiting beliefs.   3. Understanding True Success Success is defined as "the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." This section examines success as a journey rather than a destination, emphasising the importance of pursuing meaningful goals aligned with one's values and purpose.   4. Breaking Free from Conformity The episode challenges the conventional notion that the opposite of courage is cowardice, revealing that it's conformity. It discusses how 95% of people forfeit their dreams by choosing comfort over courage, and provides strategies for breaking free from this pattern.   5. Practical Application Listeners are guided through reflective questions and exercises to apply these principles in their lives: - Evaluating current thought patterns - Assessing goal worthiness - Measuring faith in achieving dreams - Creating action plans for success   6. Conclusion The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder that success is available to anyone willing to apply these principles consistently. It emphasises the importance of maintaining faith, pursuing worthy goals, and choosing courage over conformity. Pascale encourages you to use these principles in your life and see the transformation they can bring.   Key Takeaways: • Your thoughts shape your reality • Success is a progressive journey toward worthy goals • Courage to be different is essential for achievement • Consistent application of these principles leads to transformation   The episode concludes with a preview of Part Two, promising more insights and practical applications from "The Strangest Secret."   ………………………...

Introduction to Self-Regulation 2. Why Self-Regulation Matters 3. Practical Implementation Strategies 4. The Six S's of Self-Leadership 5. Integration and Daily Practice   Detailed Discussion: 1. Introduction to Self-Regulation Self-regulation is our ability to control behaviour and manage thoughts and emotions through self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement. It's particularly crucial during moments of stress, frustration, or uncertainty. This skill allows us to create a sacred pause between trigger and response, enabling more thoughtful reactions. 2. Why Self-Regulation Matters Self-regulation forms the foundation of emotional intelligence and personal mastery. It helps us maintain composure during challenges, build stronger relationships, and achieve our goals even when motivation dips. This skill transforms reactive patterns into responsive choices. 3. Practical Implementation Strategies - Body Awareness: Learn to recognise physical tension signals - Name It to Tame It: Label emotions to create distance - Micro-Restorative Moments: Take intentional breaks - Emotional Boundaries: Practise saying "no" or “not now” when needed - Centring Affirmations: Use positive self-talk   4. The Six S's of Self-Leadership - Self-Responsibility - Self-Reliance - Self-Discipline - Self-Reflection - Self-Accountability - Self-Regulation   5. Integration and Daily Practice Implementing self-regulation requires consistent practice and patience. Start with one technique and gradually build your emotional regulation toolkit.   Conclusion: Self-regulation is more than just controlling emotions—it's about creating a life of emotional grace and resilience. By mastering this skill, you can respond rather than react, stay grounded during challenges, and lead your life with greater clarity and confidence. Remember, you don't need to perfect all 6 S's of self-leadership at once. Choose one area to focus on and build from there with compassion and patience. ………………………...

Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Welcome back, beautiful soul, to another episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Today, we'll dive into something that I know resonates with so many of you—those life-changing moments when you're standing at a crossroads, feeling completely stuck. I'm talking about navigating life's transitions, and I'll give you actionable steps and practical tools you can implement immediately. Let's break this down into three clear, unmistakable signs that you're at a turning point in your life and how to navigate through it gracefully. Sign #1: You Feel Lost and Confused About What's Next You know that nagging sensation when nothing makes sense anymore? When you stare at your life, it's like a puzzle with missing pieces. You don't know what path to follow. At a crossroads, it's common to experience a mental or emotional fog. You might be asking yourself questions like, "What am I meant to be doing next?" Or "Why does this no longer feel right?" This confusion isn't something to fear; it's actually a call for more clarity and alignment in your life. Here's your action plan: Get crystal clear about what your heart yearns for. 1.  Grab a notebook or journal right now 2.  List your life areas: Career, Health, Relationships, Finance, Personal Growth 3.  Rate each area from a scale 1-10 4.  Circle the lowest-scoring area That's your starting point. Allow some space for stillness so that the answers you seek begin to reveal themselves. Don't try to fix everything at once. Trust that you're not broken; you are becoming. Pick the one area that scored the least points and set three specific, measurable goals. For example, if it's your relationship, your goal might be to improve communication with your partner, do more activities together, and communicate more often with your family and friends. Whatever your action steps are, put them down on paper because what gets written gets done. Now that we've explored the feeling of confusion, let's move on to sign number two, which is equally powerful but often hidden—your inner craving for change even if you're not sure what that is yet. Sign #2: Your Inner Craving For Positive Change – Even If You're Not Sure What That Is Yet There comes a moment, quiet but insistent, when you realise that the life you've been living no longer fits who you're becoming. It might not be loud or dramatic – it might just be a subtle nudge, a whisper from within that says: "There's something more for you." Maybe your days feel repetitive, or your work no longer excites you. Being at a crossroads is a sign that you're growing. That deep sense of misalignment is your inner wisdom calling you toward a life that reflects your next level of growth. You're like a butterfly ready to break free from that cocoon, but maybe you're a little scared of spreading your wings. And guess what? We expect uncertainty. Here is the truth: change isn't always easy, no matter how simple it seems. As creatures of habit, we love our comfort zones, like I love a delicious matcha tea. Trust that something beautiful is unfolding, and here's your three-step implementation strategy that really works: 1. Audit your current habits: Track everything you do for three days 2. Identify what works and doesn't – what brings you joy? what feels heavy? 3. Create a specific replacement plan for each habit that doesn't serve you. Here are some tips regarding change management: Tip#1: Positive change requires consistent effort, therefore you need to block out specific times in your calendar Tip #2: You need accountability - find a partner or join a group Tip #3: Track your progress daily - use a habit-tracking app or simple spreadsheet Tip #4: Plan for obstacles - create if-then scenarios for common challenges Tip #5: Transformation begins with awareness, and awareness leads to inspired action. And lastly, Sign #3: You've Lost Your Sense of Purpose This last sign hits us deeply—you feel like your life has lost its meaning. You look in the mirror and barely recognise that person staring back at you. Where did that sparkly-eyed, enthusiastic version of you go? They're still there, trust me. They're just waiting for you to dig a little deeper into your essence and come back triumphant. The concrete actions you need to take are to reconnect with your purpose, passion, and mojo! Place your hand on your heart, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: What part of me is longing for more ease, joy, and authenticity? 1st task – Do a skills inventory: ·     List everything you're good at ·     Note what people compliment you on ·     Identify what gets you in flow. What can you do for hours without getting tired? 2nd task -  Assess Your Values ·     Write down your top five values ·     Rate how well your current life aligns with each ·     Create specific actions to increase alignment 3rd task -  Create an Implementation Timeline: Week 1: Allow some time for self-exploration Week 2: Test one new activity that aligns with your top values Week 3: Evaluate and adjust your performance Week 4: Commit to regular practice Remember, this isn't about perfection but consistent progress. Start with a tiny change today. Open your calendar now and block out 30 minutes for your first action step. Being at a turning point isn't a crisis; it's an invitation. While things may seem uncertain right now, it's an invitation to clarify your values, re-ignite your dreams, and make empowered decisions that honour who you are becoming. Before we wrap up this episode, could you do something for me? If you feel you're at a crossroads, take a moment to ask yourself: ·     “Who do I need to be to create the life I desire?” ·     “Where am I called to grow, even if I can't see the full path yet?” You don't need to have all the answers today. Just take the next gentle step with loving intention. If your heart whispered 'yes' during this episode, I invite you to share this message with someone who may also be standing at a crossroads. Let's rise together! Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and light.

-------------------- SHOW NOTES -------------------- Episode Number: 383 Episode Title: Set Yourself Free: The Magic of Letting Go For Inner Peace   Introduction In this episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show, I explore the transformative power of letting go and how it leads to emotional freedom, peace, and greater self-mastery. Holding onto past pain, worry, or limiting beliefs keeps us stuck in cycles of stress and negativity. But when we learn to release what no longer serves us, we create space for healing, joy, and growth. Through practical strategies, guided reflections, and real-life insights, I share how to free yourself from emotional burdens, break free from worry, and invite lightness into your life.   Podcast Highlights [02:15] Why letting go is essential for emotional freedom and self-growth [05:40] Understanding the emotional weight of holding onto the past [09:30] How to physically release stored emotions through movement [13:50] Letting go of worry: Three decisive steps to regain peace [18:20] How improving communication can help release relationship tensions [22:05] Final reflections and key takeaways   Resources How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey Release Meditation Technique - Brendon Burchard's Guided Meditation Connect with Pascale Gibon Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: support@pascalegibon.com   Set Yourself Free: The Magic of Letting Go For Inner Peace Episode Summary In Episode 383, I guide listeners through the profound process of letting go, emphasizing its importance for emotional healing and personal freedom. I explore why we hold onto past pain, how to recognize emotional baggage, and practical steps for releasing worry, stress, and limiting beliefs.   Through insightful teachings, I share how physical movement, mindfulness, and healthy communication can help us embrace inner peace. Listeners will leave feeling lighter, freer, and more empowered to create a life of ease and joy.   Table of Contents 1.   Why Letting Go is Essential for Emotional Freedom 2.   Releasing Past Memories: Breaking Free from Emotional Baggage 3.   How Physical Movement Helps Release Emotional Tension 4.   Letting Go of Worry: A Three-Step Process 5.   Improving Communication to Release Relationship Tension 6.   Final Thoughts: Embracing a Life of Freedom Why Letting Go is Essential for Emotional Freedom Letting go is not about forgetting or ignoring the past; it's about choosing peace over pain. I explain that when we hold onto resentment, fear, or self-doubt, we prevent ourselves from moving forward.   Key Reflection: What emotional weight are you carrying that no longer serves you? Releasing Past Memories: Breaking Free from Emotional Baggage Many of us replay painful experiences in our minds, unconsciously reliving negative emotions. I discuss how we can rewrite our internal stories and consciously choose to focus on the present instead of the past.   How Physical Movement Helps Release Emotional Tension Due to the body storing emotions, physical movement is an effective way to shake off negative energy. I highlight how walking, stretching, or dancing can release emotional blockages.   Key Takeaway: Moving your body isn't just for fitness; it's also for emotional release. Letting Go of Worry: A Three-Step Process Worry can feel productive, but it often keeps us stuck. Inspired by Dale Carnegie's wisdom, I share a simple three-step process to break free from worry:   Identify your most significant concern – Clarify what's on your mind. Ask: Can I control this? – If yes, take action. If not, release it. Replace worry with action or surrender – Do what you can, then let go of the rest. Reflection Prompt: What's one worry you can choose to release today? Improving Communication to Release Relationship Tension Unresolved misunderstandings and unspoken words can create emotional blockages. I discuss how clear, honest, and compassionate communication can help release relationship tension.   Tip: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Final Thoughts: Embracing a Life of Freedom Letting go is an act of self-love and courage. By releasing emotional weight, you make room for new possibilities, unshakeable peace, and a lighter way of living.   Final Takeaway: What will you choose to let go of today? Give yourself permission to release, trust, and move forward. Conclusion Episode 383 powerfully reminds us that true freedom comes from within. By letting go of what no longer serves us - past hurt, worry, or negative patterns - we open ourselves up to a more peaceful, joyful, and fulfilling life.   I encourage listeners to take a small step today to set themselves free through mindful reflection, movement, or a meaningful conversation. Remember, the journey to emotional freedom begins with a single step. What will your step be? ✨  Thank you for listening!

Pascale  --------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ---------------------------  Episode 383: Set Yourself Free - Embracing The Magic Of Letting Go For Inner Peace Have you ever felt the need to let go of a particular thought or feeling, unaware of how to do it? Do you unconsciously and repeatedly recall the same hurtful memory and can't let it go?   Holding onto emotional baggage weighs us down and prevents us from living fully. But what if I told you we find true freedom in letting go? Imagine walking lighter, breathing smoothly, and feeling at peace simply by letting go.   Thank you for tuning in to episode 383 of The Everyday Life Balance Show, a podcast dedicated to helping you achieve emotional freedom and balance in your everyday life.   In today's episode, we'll explore releasing what no longer serves you, from painful memories to daily stress. You'll learn practical steps to free yourself emotionally, embrace peace, and create space for more joy in your life. Let's begin this journey together.   Here is the truth: most of us feel stressed out because we struggle to let go. We often struggle with old habits that keep us prisoners in the same old story. However, how do you set yourself free?   Let Go Of The Hurtful Memories Of The Past. Prisoners of the past hold on to what happened yesterday and fail to be present with NOW. Do you have an unpleasant memory you find difficult to let go of? It's time to shake it off, to feel the weight lift off your shoulders as you release these burdens because they no longer serve you. Holding on to unpleasant past memories stops you from living fully because it interferes with your emotional freedom or well-being and makes you a prisoner of the past.   If this resonates with you, take a moment to reflect on the following: How does the unpleasant memory of the past affect your life now? Being a prisoner of the past can be a destructive experience that creates suffering. It's time to set yourself free! I recommend seeking professional help or a self-help solution like Dr Harry Barry's Emotional Healing process. I followed his process in the past; it's been life-changing. You can listen to my emotional healing experience in episode 380, entitled "Heal Your Heart: Finding Emotional Freedom Through Love.”   Emotions are stored in the body; therefore, physical movement can be a powerful way to release tension and stress.   Shake It Off Physically Too many people hold on to physical tension for too long. Here are some ways to help yourself and let go of the tension: Exercising will help you re-energise and shake off the stress of the day. For example, if you had a stressful day at work, physical exercise helps you change your state from exhaustion to mental and physical upliftment due to the release of feel-good hormones when you exercise. To let go of any mental and physical tension, make it a habit to boost your happy hormones with regular activity. By the way, it doesn't have to be strenuous because gentle stretches are highly effective. I stretch all the time. Smelling the roses is another way to let go. For example, a nice, meditative walk in nature surrounded by wildlife, trees, and flowers can help you let go of worries. As you stroll in nature or cycle, fill your lungs consciously with oxygen and slowly release carbon dioxide. Enjoy this peaceful moment as if you have no worries in the world. Allow yourself to let go. Dancing with your favourite music or singing in the bathroom is a great way to shake it all off as you allow your free spirit to express itself. When we hold onto pain, our body stores it as tension, affecting our nervous system. Exercise, whether it's walking, stretching, or dancing, helps shift stuck energy, allowing us to move forward emotionally and physically.   Let Go Of Worry Learning to let go is a new habit you need to develop to invite more lightness into your life. This leads me to the subject of worry. Concerns or worries are disrupters of peace. Dale Carnegie affirms in his book "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" that 70% of our worries are money problems. What about you?   Worrying is one of the hardest things to let go of because it feels productive. But the truth is, worry doesn't solve problems; it only drains our energy and keeps us stuck in fear. Instead of letting worry control your thoughts, try this three-step method to regain peace of mind: 1.   Identify your most significant worry, your 70%. Take a moment to clearly define what is causing stress. Write it down if needed. Often, when we name our worries, they feel less overwhelming. Worry can be caused by health issues, finances, children, and relationships at home and work. 2.   Ask yourself: Can I control this? If the answer is yes, shift your focus to taking action. What steps can you take to improve the situation? If the answer is no, practise acceptance and consciously release it. Remind yourself that worrying won't change the outcome. 3.   Replace worry with action or surrender: If the situation is within your control, take small, constructive steps to address it. If it's outside your control, use deep breathing, meditation or journaling to release the fear and shift into trust. By practising these steps, you train your mind to let go of unnecessary worry and focus on what truly matters. And lastly, let's talk about relationship worry.   Improve your relationships As an advocate of the power of love, let go of wanting to be right all the time. It's ok to make mistakes. If you have a troubling relationship and the E.G.O (Edging God Out) gets in the way, lovingly solving the problem would mean seeking first to understand and then to be understood. There might be a misunderstanding you might not be aware of. Seeking first to understand opens our hearts and helps us see the situation more lovingly and with a new perspective. Miscommunication is a common ailment in relationships and leads to conflicts. If this relates to you, first seek to understand the person you are in conflict with compassionately. By the way, you might be thinking, why should I? However, give it a try. What happens in your mind and body when you do? Do you feel lighter or less angry or resentful? The process of seeking first to understand, then to be understood, taken from Stephen Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," which sold millions of copies, is a powerful way to view situations openly and let go of negative emotions.   Today's episode is an invitation to develop a new habit: letting go. As you release, you let go of the unpleasantness, open up your heart again, and free yourself mentally and physically.   Here is a recap of the three letting-go habits you can develop to invite more peace into your life: 1.   Let go of the hurtful memories of the past to live fully in the present moment. 2.   Establish an exercise routine to shake it all off physically and release feel-good hormones. 3.   Let go of worry by following the three-step method to regain peace of mind. 4.   Seek first to understand, then to be understood, to improve your relationships. Letting go is not about giving up; it's about making space for something better. When you release a painful memory, a worry, or a limiting belief, you take back your power and move one step closer to emotional freedom. So, as you go through your week, ask yourself: What am I ready to release? It could be a past hurt, an unrealistic expectation, or the need to control an outcome. Whatever it is, permit yourself to let go and trust that something better is coming.   Thank you for spending this time with me. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear what you're choosing to let go of, feel free to reach out or share your thoughts at support@pascalegibon.com. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and the courage to embrace freedom as you let go of anything that holds you prisoner and stops you from living fully, now.

I delve into the importance of cultivating self-awareness, practicing self-love, and applying knowledge to unlock our true potential.

By observing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, we gain a profound understanding of ourselves, which in turn helps us navigate challenges. Recognizing emotional triggers and understanding our thought patterns give us the power to control our actions and decision-making process, leading to a sense of enlightenment and empowerment. Key Reflection: What situations make you feel disempowered? How can you become more mindful of your emotions and reactions? Cultivating Self-Love For Emotional Freedom I address the misconceptions around self-love and highlight its pivotal role in empowerment. I share an inspiring quote from a 102-year-old grandmother who credits self-love as the secret to her longevity. Simple self-care practices, like mirror work and focusing on strengths, can significantly boost self-esteem and personal empowerment, making you feel valued and confident in your journey. Actionable Tips: Try mirror work: Look in the mirror, smile, and give yourself a 'high five' to acknowledge your uniqueness. Express your playful side! J Create a self-care habit that nurtures your emotional well-being. Empowerment Through Knowledge and Action Knowledge is indeed power, but only when applied. I emphasize the role of learning as an empowering tool and share my experience of how Wayne Dyer's teachings transformed my outlook on life. I also discuss Nelson Mandela's famous advice on teaching a man to fish, reinforcing that applied knowledge leads to sustainable empowerment. Key Takeaway: I invite you to share with me at support@pascalegibon.com one empowering book or lesson that has changed your life. Your experiences can inspire others and create a sense of connection in our community. Conclusion Empowerment is the key to achieving emotional freedom and self-mastery. By cultivating self-awareness, practising self-love, and applying knowledge, you can unlock your full potential and confidently navigate life. I encourage you, my listeners, to take small but impactful steps towards your personal growth journey. Final Thought: "To your freedom - you can do this!" With so much love and light Pascale

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Are you carrying emotional wounds that weigh you down? What if Love could be the key to healing and emotional freedom? Hi, I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. In this episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show, I share how Love became my greatest healer and how it can become yours, too. Indeed, Love is a healing force and here is my story. “It's the first time I share this story with you. In my mid-twenties, the split between days of happiness and immense dissatisfaction was debilitating. In other words, I was on an emotional roller-coaster ride. I remember journaling a lot when I was a teenager. It was a great healing process. However, there was still a relationship I needed to heal—my relationship with my dad. My parents got divorced when I was three, and my dad's absence throughout my life meant that I felt rejected and struggled with self-acceptance. During my emotional roller-coaster in my mid-twenties, I realised something had to change. I needed to heal this sense of dissatisfaction and feel more stable emotionally. That's when I found Dr. Harry Barry, a renowned author and medic, and his powerful book: "Emotional Healing – How To Put Yourself Together Back Again," which is based on his years of research and experience in the field of emotional healing, and it transformed my life.”  Here is what his book did for me: ·      I released any negative emotions that were sabotaging my wellbeing.  ·      The most significant shift from pain to healing was when I did one of Dr Barry's processes and discovered the thoughts and memories in my subconscious that held me back. ·      I experienced the greatest emotional freedom. I had the most incredible revelation after Dr Harry Barry's healing process. This revelation did not happen immediately but months after undergoing some introspection. I realised that the hurt I felt had a purpose: to open my heart and grow in Love. As a result, I opened my heart and forgave my dad. I shifted from a place of anger and resentment to one of Love and gratitude. Indeed, I was grateful to my dad for giving me life, and his absence served the most positive purpose to grow in Love. Where would I be if I had not decided to heal my emotions? I would have contracted my heart from Love instead of opening it to more abundance and grace. Love is more than just a feeling; it's a choice we make every day. If you're wondering how to begin using Love as a healing tool, here are some simple steps to guide you: 1.   Acknowledge the hurt or discomfort 2.   Seek first to understand by understanding the other person's perspective 3.   Choose to release the pain, even if it's hard. Healing might take time. 4.   Practise gratitude for the lessons learnt. 5.   Surround yourself with positive affirmations about Love and healing. Should you find yourself where I was and ready to heal the past hurt and emotions, it matters to do it with this outcome in mind: emotional freedom. Emotional freedom means being mindful of the present moment, waking up without the weight of past hurt, responding to life with peace rather than pain, and embracing every moment with an open heart. However, emotional freedom through expanding Love is even more powerful. It is the ability to feel all emotions without being controlled by them. It means acknowledging pain, fear, or anger without letting them dictate your actions or mood. You will overcome whatever shakes your emotional stability because you have built spiritual strength through your healing journey. Emotional freedom feels like being peaceful or choosing peace always over emotional turmoil. Let's do this heart-opening exercise together: Close your eyes lightly. Place your hand gently on your heart, and take a deep breath. As you inhale deeply, imagine Love filling your heart. As you exhale slowly, release any pain or resentment. You can say it out loud: I release any pain or resentment. Repeat this until your heart feels lighter. May this episode inspire you to embark on a healing journey. Are you ready to grow and be free? If so: Choose freedom over fear. Choose Love over life-long resentment. Choose wellbeing over dis-ease. Everybody naturally seeks happiness. However, let me share a secret of paramount importance: the more we embody Love as our guiding light and power, the happier we become.  Unhealed pain can manifest as anxiety, resentment, jealousy, emotional roller-coaster or even physical illness. It limits our joy, keeps us in the past, clouds our judgment, and strains our relationships. Today, I invite you to start your healing journey. Reflect on what needs healing in your heart, and take one step towards Love and forgiveness. Write a letter to someone you need to forgive, even if you never send it. Surround the person you think about with Love, pour out your heart and then let it go. Remember, Love heals and frees. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, I'm sending you lots of Love, light, and powerful emotional healing. Get Dr. Barry's book! It's life-changing.

From uncovering inner wisdom to transforming challenges into opportunities, self-awareness offers the clarity and empowerment needed to create lasting change. This episode inspires listeners to take full responsibility for their lives and commit to the inside-out transformation toward freedom. Table of Contents 1.   The Magic of Self-Awareness 2.   Transformation Through Self-Discovery 3.   The Answers Are Within You 4.   Self-Awareness Fuels Growth 5.   Changing Your Perspective 6.   Empowerment Through Responsibility 7.   Inner Awareness Creates Outer Change The Magic of Self-Awareness Self-awareness is more than a skill; it's a transformative tool that connects you to life's mysteries and leads to clarity and control. It's the foundation of emancipation, allowing you to identify what's holding you back and create meaningful change. Transformation Through Self-Discovery Self-discovery is the first step to breaking free. By understanding what habits or beliefs no longer serve you, you open yourself to new possibilities for happiness and freedom. The Answers Are Within You True emancipation begins with recognizing that you already have the wisdom to overcome challenges and embrace freedom. Trusting yourself is key to navigating life with peace and purpose. Self-Awareness Fuels Growth Self-awareness helps uncover patterns that keep you stuck and empowers you to change beliefs, behaviours, or attitudes. As Albert Einstein famously said, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Interactive Exercise: Reflect on a recurring challenge and ask yourself: What belief or behaviour might be contributing to this pattern? How can I approach it differently? Changing Your Perspective A shift in perspective can transform your life. Self-awareness helps you see mistakes as opportunities, challenges as stepping stones, and limitations as starting points for growth. Empowerment Through Responsibility Self-awareness empowers you to take full responsibility for your life. It's not just about reacting to what happens; it's about intentionally shaping your responses to create positive outcomes. Affirmation:
"I take full responsibility for my life. I choose to respond with awareness and create the freedom I desire." Inner Awareness Creates Outer Change Change begins within. You transform your external reality as you become more attuned to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Inner exploration is the essence of emancipation—freeing yourself from within to reflect your highest potential. Conclusion Self-awareness is the compass guiding you toward freedom.

Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello beautiful soul,   Welcome to another episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show,. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Today, episode 377, we're delving into the transformative power of self-awareness in your journey of personal emancipation. Self-awareness, the cornerstone of emancipation, is the profound understanding of yourself, your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and beliefs. It's this understanding that empowers you to shatter the patterns that confine you. Let's explore how self-awareness can unleash your potential and liberate you. The Magic of Self-Awareness Self-awareness is not just a practice, it's a source of empowerment. It's a magical tool that connects you to life's mysteries and leads you to mastery, offering the clarity and control to revolutionise your life from within. But how does self-awareness contribute to emancipation? Let's explore six powerful ways it can support your journey to freedom. 1. Self-Awareness Creates Lasting Transformation Transformation begins with self-discovery. When you embark on a journey of self-awareness, you gain clarity on what's holding you back and what needs to change. This inner work not only paves the way for greater happiness and freedom but also fills you with hope for the transformative power you hold within. ✨ Imagine freeing yourself from habits or beliefs that no longer serve you. What could change in your life? Self-awareness is the first step to breaking those chains and opening new possibilities. 2. The Answers Are Within You As we explore self-awareness, we realise something profound: the answers we seek aren't outside of us they are already within. ✨ Emancipation starts with this truth: You are a soul having a human experience, and the wisdom to overcome challenges and embrace freedom lies within you. True emancipation starts when you trust yourself and realise you have everything you need to create change. Let's uncover how trusting your inner wisdom can guide you to greater freedom: ·       When you know yourself deeply and trust your inner voice, you are better equipped to follow the right path and navigate life's complexities with peace. Knowing you hold the answers is empowering, but what's next? Self-awareness often illuminates the areas where we need to grow. It illuminates the beliefs or behaviours that keep us stuck and helps us break free from old patterns. 3. Self-Awareness Fuels Growth Without self-awareness, there can be no progress. How often do we repeat the same mistakes, stuck in cycles of frustration? Albert Einstein said it best: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Adopting the principles of self-awareness helps you recognise these cycles and guides you toward where change is needed. Whether shifting a belief, behaviour, or attitude, growth becomes possible when you truly see yourself. This growth is your gateway to freedom from the habits and thoughts that have held you back. Interactive Exercise: Take a moment to reflect on a recurring challenge in your life. Ask yourself: What belief or behaviour might be contributing to this pattern? How could I approach this differently? 4. Self-Awareness Changes Your Perspective Seeing life's complexities or challenges differently is one of the most freeing experiences; it allows you to break free from a fixed mindset and embrace new possibilities. When we change the way we see a problem, everything changes. For example, instead of viewing mistakes as failures, we see them as opportunities for learning and growth. This mindset shift can transform how we experience challenges and open the door to new possibilities. Let me give you an example: It's like walking up a hill. From the bottom, it feels overwhelming, but as you climb and visualise yourself reaching the top, your perspective shifts and the path becomes clearer. ✨ Emancipation is about shifting from limitation to possibility. When you change the way you look at a situation, the situation itself changes. 5. Self-Awareness Gives You Responsibility and Power With a new perspective comes an incredible realisation: you have the power to take full responsibility for your life. Self-awareness shows you that freedom isn't just about what happens to you, it's about how you choose to respond. When you respond with awareness and intention, you reclaim your power to create positive change. This realisation instils a sense of empowerment and confidence in your ability to shape your life according to your desires. Taking responsibility is one of the most empowering steps toward emancipation. It allows you to reclaim your power and shape your life on your terms. Affirmation: "I take full responsibility for my life. I choose to respond with awareness and create the freedom I desire." 6. Inner Awareness Creates Outer Change When you take responsibility for your life, you realise that change begins within. As you grow in self-awareness, you become more attuned to your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, allowing you to transform your inner world and your external reality. This powerful connection between inner and outer change is a source of inspiration and motivation for your emancipation journey.   ✨Indeed, this is the essence of emancipation: freeing yourself from within to create a life that reflects your highest potential. Think about a recent situation where your internal state influenced your external results. What did you learn from that experience? Recap: The Six Ways Self-Awareness Fuels Emancipation Let's summarise how self-awareness supports your journey to freedom: 1.   Transformation: It creates lasting change by helping you identify what's holding you back. 2.   Inner Wisdom: You realise the answers you seek are already within you. 3.   Growth: It fuels personal progress by uncovering the patterns that keep you stuck. 4.   Perspective: It helps you see mistakes and challenges as opportunities for growth. 5.   Empowerment: It gives you the responsibility and power to shape your life. 6.   Inner-Outer Connection: It allows you to transform your inner world to change your external reality. Remember, small, consistent changes can lead to big transformations. Closing Inspiration Self-awareness is the compass that guides you toward true emancipation. It is not just about knowing and understanding yourself; it's about setting yourself free. By unlocking your inner wisdom, you can break free from the thoughts, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve you. By embracing self-awareness, you step into a life of authenticity, power, and limitless potential. This week, take a step toward your emancipation by reflecting on one belief, habit, or pattern you're ready to release. Remember, the journey to freedom starts with knowing yourself. I'll leave you with this thought: "The more you know yourself, the more you can change your life." Thank you for joining me on this empowering journey. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul! Welcome back to the Everyday Life Balance Show. Our journey of emancipation continues as we set the tone this month and explore, in episode 376, how to intentionally break free from limiting beliefs. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and I'm glad you're here. Today, we'll explore the power of intention, discover the nature of our limiting beliefs, and practical ways to step into our freedom. Let's begin. Setting Your Intentions An intention is a clear goal, purpose or idea you commit to carrying out. When you intend to create meaningful change, it's essential to approach your life with intentionality. For personal expansion, breaking free from limiting beliefs means committing 100% to stepping into your power. Take a moment to reflect: If you could wave a magic wand, what limiting belief would you let go of to make your dreams come true? What is one intention you can set today to help you move closer to personal freedom? Pause the episode if you need more time to reflect, and return when you're ready to continue. Intentions are powerful because they align your thoughts and actions toward a desired outcome. But before you can fully embrace them, it's crucial to identify the beliefs that may be holding you back. Where Do You Hold Yourself Back? What is a belief? It's the acceptance that something exists or is true. The etymology of belief is to have trust. However, our limiting beliefs keep us from thriving authentically. Henry Ford famously said, « Whether you believe you can or you can't, you are right. What you believe about yourself often stems from past experiences or societal conditioning, but they don't have to define your future. Let's take a closer look at areas where limiting beliefs may be affecting different areas of your life: 1.   Finances: Do you believe there's a limit to how much you can earn or achieve financially? 2.   Career: Are you holding yourself back from pursuing your dream job or career that aligns with your passion? Take a moment to journal your thoughts if it's safe to do so: What's one area in your life where your beliefs limit you? How would your life change if you replaced that belief with one that empowers you? Reflecting on these questions is the first step toward shifting your mindset. I'd love for you to share your insights! Head to the Awaken Your Authentic Self Community and join the conversation on Facebook. What's one belief you've identified you're ready to let go of? Let's support each other in this journey of transformation. Your voice matters, and your experience can inspire others. Together, we can create a safe space for growth and empowerment. Now that we've identified where your beliefs might hold you back let's explore how to move beyond those limitations and reconnect with your authentic self. The Power of Authenticity Authenticity is about aligning your beliefs with your true potential. When you observe athletes, for example, they continually push themselves beyond perceived limits to achieve greatness. Champions remind us that there's always a next level of growth when we dare to exceed our expectations and believe it's possible. So, ask yourself: ·      What's your next level of growth?
 If you could wave that magic wand again, what would you accomplish after empowering your beliefs and tapping into your inner strength? Let's do a quick exercise: Close your eyes and visualize your next level of growth. Imagine yourself achieving a goal you once thought was impossible. What does it feel like? Capture this feeling in a journal entry or share it in the community with the hashtag #EverydayFreedom. Moving from doubt to faith is a necessary transition. By planting this idea long enough within your heart, you nurture emotionally the confidence and courage you need to grow and become unstoppable. We must first change our perspective of what's possible to step into this new reality. Freedom Lies in Perspective True freedom begins when you expand your perspective and believe in possibility. As Walt Disney said: “There are few heights that can't be scaled by someone who knows the secret of making dreams come true. This special secret can be summarized in four C's: they are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy, and the greatest of these is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe it all the way. Have confidence in your ability to do it right. And work hard to do the best possible job.” We build confidence through consistent action. Think about learning a new skill, like riding a bicycle. It might feel impossible at first, but with patience and practice, you find your balance and master the skill. Breaking free from limiting beliefs works the same way: one step, one action, one empowering thought at a time. Let's put this idea into practice. Take action today! Identify one small step you can take this week to build confidence in an area where you've felt stuck. Write it down, commit to it, and celebrate your progress. Your Call to Action This week, I encourage you to review your beliefs and ask yourself: 1.   Which ones are holding me back? 2.   What empowering beliefs can I adopt instead? As Jean Jacques Rousseau beautifully said: “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.” Therefore, keep dreaming and believing, and take inspired action to turn your dreams into reality.   I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale    ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful souls. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. I hope you feel fresh and inspired as we enter this brand-new year. As a personal development and freedom coach, I want to do something totally different on The Everyday Life Balance Show and embark on a transformative journey with you. For the first time, we'll dedicate the year to one powerful theme: emancipation. Each month, we'll explore a different aspect of emancipation: personal, social, and professional - unlocking the freedom to live your best life. What is Emancipation? In the context of The Everyday Life Balance Show, emancipation means freeing yourself from the restraints that keep you from becoming your best self. It's about shedding limiting beliefs and stepping into a life of unrestrained potential. How do you like that idea? What would it mean to you to improve yourself and elevate key areas of your life? Where do you feel most held back in your life? What restraints are you ready to release this year? Take your time to write freely, without judgment. You can pause this episode and return once you've captured your thoughts. Your intentions for Emancipation Now, let's go deeper and set intentions for this year. Think about the areas where you desire the most freedom: What does living an unrestrained life look like for you? What's one area you'll focus on first to experience a sense of liberation? Once you have your intentions in mind, consider creating a vision board to bring them to life visually. Let your vision board represent the freedom you're stepping into. Remember, powerful questions lead to transformative insights. Guided Visualisation for Emancipation Let's take a moment to visualise freedom together. If it's safe to close your eyes, take a deep breath in and out slowly. Picture yourself on the top of a mountain with a heavy chain wrapped around you, representing the restraints that have held you back. Now, imagine yourself gently breaking the chain, link by link. Feel a sense of lightness and possibility with each link that falls away. As you stand unchained, surrounded by a stunning landscape on top of the mountain, embrace the freedom to create a life aligned with your highest potential. When you're ready, open your eyes and take a moment to anchor that feeling of liberation. A Story of Emancipation I want to share Margarita's story. She left Cuba to start a new life in the United States, facing obstacles like the language barrier and unfamiliar surroundings. With determination and a never-give-up attitude, Margarita built her own business and a life of freedom. Her journey reminds us that emancipation requires courage, persistence, and a clear vision of what's possible. What's your story of emancipation ready to be written? Awaken Your Authentic Self Community To help you stay inspired, I invite you to join the private group on Facebook: Awaken Your Authentic Self Community. This heart-centred space supports one another in breaking free from limitations and stepping into our authentic power. Together, we'll share stories, reflections, and wins along the way. You'll find resources and encouragement to stay on track with your journey toward emancipation. Affirmation for Emancipation Let's end today's episode with an empowering affirmation. Repeat after me, either silently or out loud: "I release all that no longer serves me. I am free to create the life I desire. I step into this year with courage, joy, hope and personal freedom." Your Next Step Before we close, here's a simple action step for this week: 1.   Reflect on one area of your life where you desire the most freedom. 2.   Write down three small actions you can take to begin creating change. 3.   Share your progress in the Awaken Your Authentic Self Community or on social media with the hashtag #EverydayFreedom. Living a fuller, unrestrained life is a beautiful commitment. Let's start this journey together. Closing Inspiration I'll leave you with the wise words from Maya Angelou: "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale    ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, and a happy New Year to all my beautiful listeners! I'd like to extend a warm welcome to episode 374 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I am Pascale Gibon, your host. Thank you for tuning in. Isn't it wonderful to step into this new year together? As we embrace 2025, I am sending you waves of love, peace, harmony, good health, abundant prosperity and hope. I love starting the new year by imagining a blank canvas on which I can design a colourful life. This episode, aptly titled "Your Radiant 2025 - Set Intentions And Craft A Vision For Your Best Year Yet," is about welcoming this year with an open heart and a vibrant spirit. Think of this as your moment to turn the page to a fresh chapter filled with endless opportunities to grow, love, flourish, and bring your dreams to life. Let's release the past together and step into 2025 with clarity, joy, and purpose. If you joined me in last year's final episode, we reflected on 2024 and its lessons. Today, we shift our focus forward, setting the stage for a year of alignment, intention, and transformation. By alignment, I mean the harmonious integration of your intentions, actions, and values, leading to a life that feels true and fulfilling. Are you ready? Let's do it! Setting Intentions for 2025 Let us start with a powerful question: What is your intention for 2025? As you know, resolutions start in January but end in February. Intentions, however, are the seeds of change. They go beyond traditional resolutions and instead guide us to embody a particular way of being. Your intention might be cultivating more kindness in your daily interactions, living with greater gratitude and presence, or fostering a healthier relationship with yourself. Think of an intention that resonates deeply with your heart. Wayne Dyer, author of the beautifully illustrated book The Power of Intention, said: "The power of intention is the power to manifest, to create, to live a life of unlimited abundance, and to attract the right people into your life at the right moments."  Envisioning Your Best Year Once you've set your intention, it's time to craft your vision for 2025. Ask yourself: ·       Where do I desire to grow purposefully?  ·       How do I want my relationships to feel this year? ·       What steps can I take to nurture my health and well-being? ·       How can I create financial abundance while staying true to my values? ·       What contribution do I wish to make to my community or the world? ·       What new adventures or opportunities am I ready to embrace? Let these reflections guide you as you use the wheel of life as your anchor and design a life that aligns with your highest aspirations. Vision Boards: Your Personal Roadmap Next is your vision board. Creating a vision board is one of the most delightful and inspiring ways to anchor your intentions. Whether you prefer a traditional board with magazine cut outs or a digital one on Canva, let your creativity flow! Include images, quotes, and affirmations that inspire you and represent your goals and desires. Display your vision board somewhere visible to keep your aspirations at the forefront of your mind. Here is John Assaraf's guidance on goal achievement: "No matter what I want to achieve... I write it out and then create a vision board. Then, I get into the vibration mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically every day." Staying on Course You've set your intentions, envisioned your best year, and presented your vision as a vision board. Now, the key question is how to stay on course.  Consistency is the key to making your vision a reality. This year, I encourage you to set some milestones and schedule regular check-ins with yourself. For example, monthly reflections are an excellent way to assess your progress, celebrate your wins, and make adjustments as needed. Life may bring surprises, and flexibility ensures we remain balanced and aligned with our core values. Closing Thoughts As we wrap up this year's first episode, I wish you a radiant and fulfilling 2025, brimming with peace, joy, hope and abundance. Let this be the year you truly thrive and shine your light brightly, filled with the promise of a better tomorrow. Over the next week, I invite you to reflect on your intention and vision. Take time to journal, create your vision board, and embrace the beauty of this fresh start. And remember, it's not about perfection but about progress and alignment. Thank you for joining me today. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday for another inspiring episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Until then, keep balancing, harmonising, and thriving. I'm sending you love, peace and light for the journey ahead. Again, Happy New Year, my beautiful listeners!

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, my dear listeners. Thank you for tuning in to episode 373 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. I hope you had a warm and joyful Christmas filled with love, laughter, and meaningful moments shared with your family and friends. It feels almost surreal to say this, but here we are, just days away from the end of another year. How quickly the time has flown!   As we prepare to step into 2025, I invite you to embrace a beautiful practice that allows us to start fresh, filled with purpose and clarity. But before we do that, it's so important to pause, reflect, and honour the journey we've been on this year. Let's take a moment to assess 2024 and glean the lessons it has gifted us.   What's Your Greatest Takeaway from 2024? Let's start with this gentle question: What is the best thing you will carry with you from 2024? It might be a lesson, a relationship, a personal victory, or even a newfound sense of peace or resilience. Whatever it is, cherish it, as it has become part of the fabric of who you are. For me, 2024 revealed something significant: I thrive best within a clear and intentional structure. Without it, I find my energy scattering in too many directions. Following a clear structure was a powerful realization that reinforced how much I value creating order and flow in my life. What about you? What has 2024 revealed to you about how you operate at your best?   Your Breakthroughs Now, let's look at your personal growth. What has been your most significant breakthrough this year? What lessons have deepened your self-awareness and helped you grow into the person you are today? These breakthroughs are the milestones of your inner journey. Perhaps you've realized the importance of setting boundaries or discovered a new passion or strength you didn't know you had. Honour these moments of clarity; they are precious.   Incompletes: What Needs Carrying Over? It's also valuable to ask ourselves: Do you have any incompletes? These are the tasks, projects, or goals you started but didn't finish. Life gets busy, and not everything unfolds the way we hope. But that's okay.   The question now is, which of these incompletes still feel meaningful and worthy of carrying forward into 2025? And which ones can we lovingly release, knowing they no longer serve us?   Remember, a new year is a beautiful opportunity for reinvention. Let's choose what we carry forward with care and intention, ensuring it aligns with the person we're becoming.   Reflecting on Your 2024 Achievements Next, let's review your year through the lens of achievement. Have you reached the goals you set at the start of 2024? Or perhaps, like me, you've made progress but haven't entirely checked everything off your list. That's perfectly okay, too.   The most significant gift of this year for me, in terms of achievement, has been gaining greater clarity about my next steps. Even if I haven't achieved every goal, I've stayed committed to the path. And that, beautiful soul, is what truly matters. Success is not about perfection but the progressive realization of a worthy goal. And if you've stayed the course, even when others might have given up, you've already achieved something extraordinary.   Dreaming Boldly For 2025 Now, let's turn our hearts and minds to the future. What are your dreams for 2025? I encourage you to dream boldly and without limits. Set aside any fears, doubts, or lack of confidence. Imagine, just for a moment, that you have all the power you need to make your dreams come true. What does your greatest dream for 2025 look like? I already have a few dreams in my heart, and I'm sure you do, too. Now is a good time to make the most of this sacred time to reflect and envision what's possible. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for.   Final Thoughts As we close the chapter on 2024, I encourage you to approach the new year with an open heart and a renewed sense of purpose. Take the lessons, leave behind the doubts, and embrace the possibilities that await you.   Thank you for journeying with me through another year of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Your presence means the world to me, and I can't wait to see what we'll create together in 2025. Until then, take care of yourself, celebrate your growth, and dream boldly. I'm sending you lots of love and light. Have a fabulous New Year's Eve celebration!

Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul Welcome to the final week of The Gratitude Experiment. This is Week 7, and what a journey it has been! Thank you for joining me on this incredible path of transformation and growth. Your willingness to open your heart to gratitude has brought us to this moment of reflection, renewal, and celebration. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and I'm so grateful for your presence, energy, and commitment to this experiment. Together, we've explored the profound impact of gratitude on our lives, and as we conclude this series, it's time to look back at what we've learnt, celebrate how far we've come, and set intentions to carry this practice forward into the new year. A Journey Through Gratitude If you have just joined us or missed some episodes, let's begin by reflecting on what we've uncovered during these last six beautiful weeks. Week 1: Unlocking Happiness In Week 1, we began by unlocking happiness, discovering that joy can be found in the simplest of moments. By pausing to notice life's small gifts, such as a smile, a warm drink, and a quiet evening, we began to see how gratitude brings light to our daily lives. Week 2: The Gift of Gratitude In Week 2, we explored how gratitude becomes a gift we give, not only to ourselves but to others. By expressing thankfulness to those who support and love us and even to those who challenge us, we strengthened our relationships and learnt to transform difficulties into lessons. Week 3: Harvesting Hope In Week 3, we leaned into gratitude as a source of hope. Inspired by Nelson Mandela's resilience, we embraced gratitude as a tool to find light in life's darkest moments, fostering faith in the goodness of life and others. Week 4: Mindful Gratitude In Week 4, we slowed down and practised mindful gratitude. Through guided meditation, we connected with the present moment, appreciating the beauty of nature, the seasons, and the small, often overlooked blessings around us. Week 5: Adopting an Attitude of Gratitude In Week 5, we took gratitude beyond practice and made it a mindset, a way of seeing the world. By shifting our focus from scarcity to abundance, we discovered that gratitude dissolves fear and invites joy and possibility into our lives. Week 6: Writing Your Way to Gratitude Last week, in Week 6, we tapped into the power of journaling. We deepened our gratitude practice through writing, allowing ourselves to reflect, process emotions, and create a map of life's treasures. Journaling became a sacred ritual for mindfulness, clarity, and joy. A Moment of Reflection Take a moment now to reflect on your journey. How has this experiment changed your perspective? What new habits or realisations have you embraced? How do you feel about gratitude now compared to when you began this journey? You've done something truly remarkable by committing to this practice. Gratitude is a gift that grows with time, and you've planted seeds that will continue to bloom in your life. Renew Your Commitment to Gratitude As we conclude this series, let's commit to carrying gratitude into the weeks, months, and years ahead. Here are three ways you can renew your commitment to gratitude: 1.   Create a Daily Gratitude Ritual: Begin or end each day with three things you're grateful for. This simple habit keeps gratitude alive in your heart. 2.   Express gratitude to others: Continue to share your appreciation with those around you. Whether it's a heartfelt thank-you, a kind note, or simply being present with someone, your gratitude will strengthen your connections. 3.   Reconnect with gratitude during challenges: Remember that gratitude isn't just for the easy moments. When life feels overwhelming, pause and ask yourself: What can I learn from this? What is one thing I am forever grateful for? Gratitude is your anchor, your compass, and your light. Rejoice in Your Growth Let's celebrate your achievement! Let's celebrate your courage to participate in this experiment, your openness to growth, and the positive changes you've created. As you rejoice in your progress, know that gratitude is a journey, not a destination. It's a practice you can return to again and again, and it will continue to enrich your life in unexpected ways. Let abundance abound in your life! Final Thoughts Before we close, I want to leave you with a powerful quote by Melody Beattie: "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." Gratitude truly has the power to transform. As you move forward, may gratitude continue to light your path, nurture your spirit, and bring joy to your life. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of The Gratitude Experiment. It has been an honour to guide you on this journey. Remember, when you say yes! to love, you say yes! to life. I will celebrate Christmas with my family this week, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and holiday season with your loved ones. May we all be grateful for this time of celebration, faith, love, peace, hope and laughter. Until next time, I'm sending you so much love, light, and gratitude. Have a beautiful week filled with celebration. Merry Christmas!

Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul; a warm welcome to Week 3 of The Gratitude Experiment.  I'm delighted to have you join me for episode 368 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. This week is exceptional. It's Thanksgiving, and it also happens to be my birthday week. To all our North American listeners, Happy Thanksgiving week! I wish you, this holiday season, a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving with your loved ones and friends. May this time of reflection and togetherness fill your heart with love and warmth.   Since Thanksgiving is a celebration of gratitude, let's go deeper into its transformative power. Being grateful is not a fleeting practice; it's a habit that grows stronger with trust, deepens our faith in the divine and lights the path of Hope. Even in life's grimmest moments, gratitude opens our hearts to recognize the love and abundance around us. We cannot neglect the power of gratitude because we align with the energy of love, even in the grimmest moments.   The Power of Gratitude and Hope Gratitude reminds us of our connection to love, even in challenging times. To reflect on this, let's draw inspiration from the life of Nelson Mandela.  In his autobiography, Mandela shared a profound truth about humanity and hope that sustained him through the harsh reality of imprisonment. He chose to believe in the inherent goodness in every heart, even in the darkest moments. Here is an excerpt that captures this beautifully:   "I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there was mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than the opposite. Even in the grimmest times in prison, when my comrades and I were pushed to our limits, I would see a glimmer of humanity in one of the guards, perhaps just for a second, but it was enough to reassure me and keep me going. Men's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished."   Nelson Mandela's story teaches us that even in adversity, we can choose gratitude, Hope and love. His ability to see the light in the shadows is a powerful reminder that gratitude can be our guide through any challenge.   Gratitude is Your Glimmer of Hope As you gather with your family and friends for Thanksgiving, let gratitude be the heart of your celebration. Take a moment to share love and appreciation for one another. Here is a fun idea: Create a "Gratitude Jar" for Thanksgiving. Have everyone write down the person they are most grateful for this year, then read the notes together. It's a beautiful way to connect and celebrate the blessings of your relationships.   The Gratitude Practice This Week This week, I invite you to focus on harvesting Hope by counting your blessings. Here is this week's reflection exercise: Ask yourself: What blessings have enriched your life?  Reflect: How does acknowledging these blessings make you feel? Write down your thoughts daily. As you build this habit, notice how gratitude softens and opens your heart. Gratitude doesn't just shift your perspective; it nurtures your soul. As Henry Ward Beecher so beautifully said:  "Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul"  Let us honour and cherish all the love we receive and give thanks for the light it brings into our lives.   Your Gratitude Challenge This week's gratitude challenge is simple yet profound: Take time each day to count your blessings. Reflect on the abundance in your life, both big and small. If you are ready to share your reflections, join me on my YouTube channel or our private “Awaken Your Authentic Self Community” on Facebook. Your stories inspire others and create a ripple of gratitude that connects us all.   Final Thoughts As we close this week's practice, remember that you are the architect of your life with each choice and decision you make. Gratitude is your foundation, helping you focus on abundance and the beauty of the present moment. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I wish you a week filled with gratitude, Hope, love and light. Until next time, I am sending you so much love and light. Have a beautiful Thanksgiving week.

These challenging relationships, though uncomfortable, often bring the greatest growth and transformation.  Through this week's reflections, Pascale encourages listeners to embrace gratitude for the full spectrum of life, both its joys and challenges, while cultivating compassion, forgiveness, and love.

Listeners are guided to reflect on two powerful questions:  Who are you most grateful for this year?  Who are you most thankful for that has challenged you the most?  Pascale reveals how embracing gratitude for the support we receive and the challenges we experience, fosters growth, love, and forgiveness. By expressing thanks to those who have shaped your life, including those who have tested your patience, you can deepen connections and uplift your spirit.    Table of Contents Introduction to Week 2 of the Gratitude Experiment  Reflection: Gratitude for the People Who Bring Joy  Reflection: Gratitude for the People Who Challenge Us  Compassion, Forgiveness, and Transforming Conflict  Expressing Gratitude to Deepen Relationships  Weekly Practice: A Twofold Gratitude Reflection  Introduction to Week 2 of the Gratitude Experiment Pascale opens the episode by inviting listeners to build on last week's practice of appreciating life's simplest joys. This week, the focus shifts to the people in our lives, those who uplift us and challenge us. Reflection: Gratitude for the People Who Bring Joy Listeners are encouraged to reflect on the individuals who have offered love, support, and kindness this year. Pascale explains how expressing gratitude for these relationships deepens our connection to joy and positivity. Reflection: Gratitude for the People Who Challenge Us Pascale takes the reflection deeper by introducing the concept of gratitude for challenging relationships. These people, though difficult, mirror the lessons we need to learn and are often our greatest teachers, helping us grow in patience, compassion, and self-awareness. Compassion, Forgiveness, and Transforming Conflict By choosing to “seek to understand” rather than “be understood,” listeners can unlock the healing power of compassion. Pascale explains how forgiveness allows us to release resentment and see the world through a lens of clarity and love. Expressing Gratitude to Deepen Relationships Citing a quote by William Arthur Ward: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it,” Pascale emphasizes the importance of sharing gratitude with others, whether through a heartfelt message, a letter, or a moment of reflection. Weekly Practice: A Twofold Gratitude Reflection This week's gratitude practice includes two parts: Reflect on the people you are most grateful for this year.  Reflect on the people who have challenged you and the lessons they taught you.  Listeners are encouraged to write these reflections down and, if ready, express their gratitude to these individuals in meaningful ways. Conclusion Pascale closes the episode with a gentle reminder to embrace gratitude for life in all its forms, the joys and challenges. We unlock personal growth, enrich our lives, and uplift our spirits by practising gratitude for our experiences and relationships. Let this week's practice bring you closer to love, clarity, and transformation.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome back to week 2 of the Gratitude Experiment. I'm so grateful to have you with me for episode 367 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for choosing to spend this time with me as we continue to explore the transformative power of gratitude. How did last week's gratitude practice go for you? Did you take the time to pause and reflect on the simplest things in life that bring you joy? Perhaps you captured those moments in photos or sketches or cherished them in your heart. Our first step in week 1 was to practise gratitude daily to activate genuine happiness in our lives. You may find this practice challenging amidst the busyness of daily life. However, trust me, when you follow it through, it will become a common practice. Since gratitude is a practice that fills us with joy, this week, we'll delve deeper into its beautiful and intricate ways of connecting us with the people in our lives. Gratitude is a gift we can give to others and also a gift we can give to ourselves. This week, we'll reflect on two powerful questions that will help us experience gratitude in a whole new light. Your first reflection is: who are you most grateful for this year? Naturally, you will start with the individuals who have brought light and kindness into your life and shown you loving support and appreciation. They uplift us, see the best in us and inspire us to stay positive and keep moving forward. Think of them, and fill your heart with gratitude for their presence. Whilst this first reflection matters, let's take our gratitude practice deeper, shall we? The second reflection is: who are you most grateful for that has challenged you profoundly? Here is where the true transformation begins. Think about the people who have pushed your red button, tested you or caused discomfort this year. They may be individuals with whom you've experienced tension, disagreement, or even conflict. It's easy to feel gratitude for those who bring ease into our lives, but challenges often teach us the most profound lessons. These are the people who have helped you grow. They may have tested your patience, stirred your emotions, or made you question yourself, but in doing so, they became your best teachers. They showed you what you needed to hear, where you needed to grow, and how you could love more deeply. Take a moment to imagine one of these challenging relationships. Perhaps it's someone you disagreed with, someone who didn't meet your expectations or even someone whose presence unsettled you. Reflect on how these experiences helped you grow. Now, picture turning those emotionally intense moments into love by fostering understanding. When we stop seeking to be understood and instead choose to understand, we unlock the healing power of compassion. Let me repeat this sentence. When we stop seeking to be understood and instead choose to understand, we unlock the healing power of compassion. Forgiveness begins to take root. In its essence, forgiveness is about “giving love forward.” This transformation from frustration to clarity, peace and love allows us to release anger, disappointment, and resentment. Gratitude for these relationships becomes a way of saying: “Thank you for helping me grow in love.” By choosing to be grateful for the growth spurred by conflict, you release the hold of negative emotions and begin to see the world with newfound clarity. Only in Love can you see clearly. The next step is expressing your gratitude. As William Arthur Ward said: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” Take time this week to reach out to those who matter most to you. Let them know how much they mean to you, whether it's a parent, a friend, a mentor or someone who played a pivotal role in your growth this year. Remember to include the individuals who have challenged you, when you compile your gratitude list. Thank them for the lessons, wisdom, and opportunity to grow in the energy of love. Gratitude transforms these relationships into blessings. This week, your daily gratitude practice is twofold. Reflect on the people you are most grateful for this year. Reflect on the people you are thankful for who have challenged you the most. Write these reflections down, and if you feel ready, express your gratitude to these individuals, whether through words, a letter, or simply holding them in your heart with love and appreciation. As we conclude this week's journey, I encourage you to embrace gratitude for the entire spectrum of life, for both the joys and challenges.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome to the first week of our Gratitude Experiment. We are gently unlocking the door of happiness this week by opening our hearts to gratitude in the simplest, most beautiful ways. When we pause and take notice, we start to see that happiness is not a destination, but it's present with us, waiting for us to notice it in tiny, precious moments. I'm excited to embark on our seven weeks of gratitude journey with you. I invite you to play full-on and have a fun experience. Before we start, ground yourself and take seven deep breaths in and out. So you breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly seven times. Gently close your eyes, if it's safe for you to do so, and imagine the positive impact focusing on gratitude will have on your life.    The purpose of this experiment is to guide you gently towards a long-term gratitude practice you do daily. Longitudinal studies suggest that regular gratitude practice over time has enduring positive effects.   Let us now review why gratitude increases your happiness: An attitude of gratitude uplifts our spirits and increases our mental and physical well-being. How do you feel when you are thankful to someone else? When we focus on the negative, “what does not work,” the doom and gloom, gratitude brings us back to our aliveness and positivity. Expressing gratitude extends our love as we recognize the goodness in our lives, even through the ups and downs. It also helps us cope with stress and buffers the impact of life's challenges.  Therefore, gratitude helps us activate and optimize positive emotions like joy, happiness, satisfaction, optimism and contentment. Focusing on the positive aspects of life with a regular gratitude practice is linked to greater life satisfaction and fosters a more positive outlook. Indeed, neuroscientific research indicates that a grateful mind has measurable positive effects on brain regions related to social bonding, empathy, and emotional processing. Another benefit worth noting is the link between gratitude and higher levels of self-esteem: recognizing and appreciating our strengths contributes to a positive self-image. So let's do it! Let's increase our gratitude this week by deepening our love, hope and faith. Gratitude is the starting point of happiness.  Let's return to Love.  Love is our salvation, and it is essential to intensify that energy in times of doubt, disappointment, frustration, anger, stress and despair.   Take a deep breath into your heart centre, in the middle of your chest, and your physical heart, and align your thinking with abundance as you say thank you from the depth of your heart. This week, we will practise gratitude by gently opening ourselves to life's wonders, little by little. Every day, take a moment to identify three things you are grateful for. These can be small, ordinary, or even unexpected. It could include things that lift your spirit, and bring a little spark of joy into your day. Like the comforting warmth of your favourite drink, a stroll in the park, the song of a bird, or a moment of stillness when you just breathe. By being grateful for life's simple pleasures, you raise your energy to a state of appreciation and positivity, viewing life with warmth.   Here is your daily reflection: Write these moments down, letting yourself linger with each one and feeling the happiness they bring. Even a few words are enough to capture the feeling. Each reflection becomes a key, unlocking happiness and lighting up your heart. Remember: “When you say yes! to love, you say yes! to life.”   Gratitude is a notable well-being enhancer. The more grateful you are, the more blessings you attract when you align with the energy of appreciation.    To make it fun this week, take photos or draw the simple things in life you are most grateful for. As you progress through this week, notice how gratitude can transform your perspective on each day. Feel how these moments of happiness expand in your heart. This is the beginning of our journey, one gentle, graceful step at a time. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Connect with Pascale Gibon Website: https://www.pascalegibon.com Email pascale@pascalegibon.com  -------------------- Master the 5 S's of Self-Leadership: Essential Steps to Achieve Personal Growth and Success In this episode, Pascale guides listeners through five foundational elements of self-leadership, which are essential for personal growth and fulfilment. The episode provides practical tips and exercises to help listeners practise self-responsibility, build inner reliance, develop discipline, cultivate reflection, and establish accountability. By implementing these principles, you can empower yourself to overcome obstacles, set meaningful goals, and take consistent steps towards a fulfilling life. Table of Contents Self-Responsibility Self-Reliance Self-Discipline Self-Reflection Self-Accountability Conclusion 1. Self-Responsibility Pascale begins with the foundational aspect of self-leadership: Self-Responsibility. She emphasizes the importance of taking full ownership of our actions and decisions. By embracing responsibility, we become empowered to change our circumstances. Pascale shares the story of Nelson Mandela, illustrating how he took responsibility for his life and actions to achieve extraordinary change. She also guides listeners through an exercise on increasing self-responsibility by 1%, helping them identify small actions in areas of improvement, such as finances or personal development. 2. Self-Reliance In this section, Pascale explores the significance of self-reliance, trusting in your inner wisdom and cultivating resilience. She encourages listeners to tune into their intuition and rely on their own judgment when facing challenges. Self-reliance is about realizing that the answers we seek are already within us. Through a visualization exercise, Pascale helps listeners reconnect with a time when they trusted their instincts, using this feeling of confidence as a foundation for future self-reliance. 3. Self-Discipline The third S, Self-Discipline, is essential for sustaining growth and achieving personal goals. Pascale introduces habit-stacking as a gentle way to incorporate new supportive habits into existing routines, making discipline easier and more natural. She also explains the power of “micro-habits,” small, manageable steps toward larger goals. These strategies help listeners stay consistent and gradually increase the scope of their discipline sustainably. 4.  Self-Reflection Self-reflection, the fourth S, is a powerful practice for deepening self-awareness. Pascale discusses the value of reflecting on our thoughts, attitudes, and motivations to gain insight and make meaningful changes. She encourages listeners to start a simple journaling practice, writing one sentence each night about a high or low point of their day. For those seeking more structured reflection, she invites them to explore her “Self-Reflection for Inner Peace” mini-course. 5. Self-Accountability Lastly, the fifth S is Self-Accountability, the practice of honouring our promises to ourselves. Pascale explains how self-accountability involves setting up regular check-ins, either with an accountability partner or through a personal tracking system. This section includes reflection questions to help listeners assess their alignment with their intentions and take steps to stay on track with their goals. Self-accountability, she notes, is about showing up with integrity and compassion as we grow. 6. Conclusion In this episode, Pascale Gibon underscores the importance of developing self-leadership skills to achieve personal growth and fulfilment. She reminds listeners to approach self-leadership as a journey, allowing themselves to grow at their own pace. By practising the 5 S's: Self-Responsibility, Self-Reliance, Self-Discipline, Self-Reflection, and Self-Accountability, listeners can gradually build resilience, gain confidence, and transform their lives. Pascale closes with an inspiring message on continual growth, encouraging listeners to choose one S to focus on for the week and make a small, positive change that aligns with their intentions. ………………………......

Pascale  ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Imagine if five simple shifts could help you feel more resilient, confident and fulfilled. How would this change your everyday life? Hello, beautiful soul. I'm your host, Pascale Gibon, and today I will walk you through the 5 Ss of self-leadership, your keys to self-mastery and meaningful change. Each S builds upon the last, creating a powerful toolkit for self-mastery, gently guiding you towards your best self. Thank you for tuning into episode 365.   Have you learnt from our series on goal setting and achievement? If not, I invite you to listen to episodes 358, 362, 363 and 364.   What is goal setting worth without leadership? Whilst setting goals is essential, real progress happens when we lead ourselves through the journey, staying accountable, disciplined, and resilient.   We need to show greater levels of leadership to improve the quality of our lives and accomplish our goals. The greatest struggle we encounter in times of change is resistance to it. However, once we decide to move forward without relapsing into our comfort zone, it is essential to develop self-leadership skills.   We will focus in this episode on the 5 S's of self-leadership to build resilience and confidence and accomplish what we desire.   The First S Is Self-Responsibility: We can move mountains when we take 100% responsibility for our lives. When we don't, we become trapped in a state of victimhood. Indeed, people who blame others for their circumstances remain stuck in blame and shame. “It's other people's fault and not mine.” Such a mindset allows other people to control our lives. On the other hand, self-responsibility is more empowering because it helps take control of our lives. We become our own agents and can respond to any challenge that comes our way.   Is it fair to say that the remarkable Nobel Peace Prize winner, Nelson Mandela, took 100% responsibility for his life and actions? As a result of his inner wisdom, Nelson Mandela endured 27 years in prison, instigated the end of apartheid in South Africa and served his country as President for five years.   It's empowering to know that each small step towards responsibility adds up. Imagine beginning by increasing your ownership in one area of your life by just 1%. How might that gentle shift start opening new doors for you? Let's do this exercise now: In areas of your life that need improvement, what would 1% more responsibility look like? What are you inclined to do when you take 1% more responsibility for your finances, for example? Do you want to improve your spending habits? Would taking the course of eliminating non-necessary expenditures be a good one? Could finding ways to double your income be a great option? Will you purchase a finance book to manage your finances thoroughly? Do you choose to acquire a new skill to learn about money management? Now, it's your turn: Choose one area of your life you desire to improve. Imagine you are already 1% more responsible. What's the one small action you would take today? You can write it down in your journal and set the intention to commit to it.  I recommend creating a Responsibility Log with two columns: one for your goals and the other one for your daily actions.   The 2nd S Is Self-Reliance: Self-reliance is about honouring the inner wisdom and strength we already possess while knowing we can handle finding resources and solutions on our own. Self-reliance is significant when we become aware that we all have the answers we seek inside of us. Usually, instead of relying on our intuition or gut feeling, we rely on other people for answers, which confuses us sometimes. In this instance, we need to trust our gut feeling or intuition more. Have you had this experience where your gut feeling told you something, but you went the other way? I know from experience that trusting yourself is a journey. When we begin to rely on our intuition, we find resilience and creativity we never knew we had. I must emphasize that self-reliance does not mean avoiding support but building inner resilience and resourcefulness first.   We are resourceful and increase our resourcefulness when we ask ourselves empowering questions. Start with: “How can I improve this situation?” “I hold the key, what is this emotion or situation trying to teach me?” Self-reliance increases when you grow in self-awareness.   Let's do this visualization exercise: Now, gently close your eyes and recall a moment when you followed and trusted your instincts, and it resulted in success. Feel the confidence and empowerment from that moment. As you hold on to that feeling of confidence, take a deep breath and remind yourself you have the answers within and that this trust in yourself is always within reach.   The 3rd S Is Self-Discipline: Self-discipline is the ability to give yourself a command and to follow through with it consistently. Our leadership here lies in our ability to be disciplined enough to live our best lives. Self-discipline requires focus, willingness and supportive habits that promote our emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Self-discipline is challenging without installing a routine that includes those supportive habits. What new supportive habits do you need to adopt to improve your self-discipline? Habit-stacking is a gentle way of building new practices by linking them to the ones you already enjoy. This way, When we add even one small habit to an existing routine, it can create a ripple effect of positive change. Let me give you an example: If you already drink a glass of water every morning, you can add a new supportive habit, such as stretching for five minutes right after you drink or a 5-minute breathing exercise. The new suggested habit is a natural extension of your routine.   I have mentioned the 20-20-20 principle, which is 20 minutes of meditation practice, 20 minutes of reading and 20 minutes of physical exercise. However, if 20 minutes is too long, start small with micro-habits. One of the main reasons new habits fall flat is because we try to make significant changes all at once. Starting small, maybe five minutes of reading or stretching gives you something simple to look forward to daily. Consistency is essential, and starting small helps you nurture that consistency with kindness and patience.   For example, if you use the 20-20-20 principle, you can change it to 5 minutes per activity instead of 20 minutes. The idea is to make the new habit so easy that it would be a shame not to do it. Once you have become consistent with the 5-5-5 principle, you can gradually increase the duration of your routine.   In practice, let's identify the core element of the new habit you desire to establish. Then, simplify it to its most basic version. For instance, if your long-term goal is to read a book per week, could you begin by dedicating just 5 minutes to reading daily?   Now, let's build your Implementation Intention. An implementation intention clarifies when, where and how you will act. For example, instead of saying: “I will read more books,” set an intention: “I will read for 5 minutes every morning after I finish breakfast.” Self-discipline may be challenging, but every consistent step you take is a step closer to your best self.   The 4th S is self-reflection Self-reflection is a powerful and empowering thoughtful practice that helps us grow in self-awareness. Regarding self-leadership, personal reflection practice allows us to grow because we take the time to reflect on our thoughts, attitudes, behaviours, motivations, desires and life challenges. Journaling, for example, is an exercise most individuals don't do enough to grow in self-awareness. When you fear doing the inner work, you miss experiencing the most significant breakthroughs and insights.   Here is an example taken from my “Self-reflection For Inner Peace” mini-course. What is disturbing my peace right now? What would it mean to me to regain a sense of peace in my life altogether? Self-reflection is like holding up a mirror to your soul, gently allowing you to uncover the most precious insights that expand and uplift your life.    To learn more about the mini course, go to: www.pascalegibon.com/academy.   To enhance your self-reflection practice, I suggest you set aside just five minutes each night to reflect on your day by writing a single sentence about a high or low point. If you've struggled with journaling, start by jotting down just one sentence each night. Allow yourself to reflect on a moment of joy or challenge, creating a sacred time to tune into your inner voice.   And lastly, The 5th S of Self-Accountability: Self-accountability in terms of leadership means honouring the promises we make to ourselves. We take full responsibility for our actions, behaviour and promises. It's about ensuring that our actions align with our intentions.   Therefore, self-accountability requires behaving with integrity and setting checkpoints to account for our actions and behaviour. The checkpoints assess whether you are in alignment and on track with your promises. For instance, self-accountability enables you to assess your actions toward achieving your goals. Self-accountability is better achieved with an accountability partner, a coach or a tracking system. You could set up a daily, weekly and monthly accountability check-in.   You could answer in your journal the following questions for your accountability check: Did I honour my intentions today? What will I do differently to improve my results? Where can I be more compassionate with myself as I grow? Leadership is a necessary skill we need to develop to improve our lives. When we show up at our best, we excel.   Here is a recap of the 5S's of self-leadership: 1.   Self-responsibility 2.   Self-reliance 3.   Self-discipline 4.   Self-reflection 5.   Self-accountability  Which of the 5 S's calls your attention today?   Remember, growth is a gentle journey. Allow yourself to take it one step at a time, honouring your progress. Set an intention for the week, whether practising self-discipline or self-reflection and track your progress.  I hope this episode has given you some insights into personal growth and success patterns.   Remember to check out our goal-setting episodes and learn more about our Self-Reflection For Inner Peace mini-course.   As John C. Maxwell reminds us: “Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.” In other words, we find success in continual growth. Each of the 5 S's I have just shared can be gold, a source you can draw upon to lead yourself to a more fulfilling life. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Until next time, keep growing and trusting yourself and know you are on the right path. I'm sending you lots of love and light. I believe in you.

---------------- SHOW NOTES ---------------- Episode Number: 364 Episode Title: How To Stick To Your Goal - Discover 3 Practical Steps For Lasting Success Introduction: Welcome back to *The Everyday Life Balance Show*! In Episode 364, your host Pascale Gibon dives into the art of staying committed to our goals. While setting goals can be exhilarating, maintaining momentum often proves challenging as distractions, daily demands, and waning excitement make it tough to stay the course. Building on recent discussions about micro-goals and productivity routines, Pascale shares three heart-centred and practical actions to help you stick to your goals with greater ease and purpose. These steps will empower you to align your goals with your identity, cultivate small daily habits, and harness accountability to keep moving forward. Podcast Highlights: [01:20] Sticking to our goals is challenging [02:09] Making your goal part of your identity [03:50] Embracing “the non-negotiable habit” to build consistency [05:18] Setting up “accountability moments” for regular check-ins [07:00] Closing reflections on staying committed to your journey   Resources: Atomic Habits by James Clear - [Learn more here] Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg - [Click here to learn more] Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: pascale@pascalegibon.com   How To Stick To Your Goal: Discover 3 Practical Steps For Lasting Success In this episode, Pascale shares actionable strategies for committing to your goals in the long term. She breaks down three foundational steps: 1. Aligning your goals with your identity, 2. Implementing a daily non-negotiable habit, and 3. Setting up accountability moments to reinforce your commitment. These steps will not only help you stay on track but also support personal growth and resilience as you pursue your dreams.   Table of Contents: 1. Identity-Based Goals 2. The Power of Non-Negotiable Habits 3. Creating Accountability Moments 4. Conclusion Identity-Based Goals Pascale discusses the importance of seeing your goal as part of your identity. She explains how thinking of a goal as an external objective can create distance, while making it part of who you are can foster intrinsic motivation. A simple exercise: write a statement that reflects the version of yourself that has already achieved this goal and display it as a daily reminder. The Power of Non-Negotiable Habits Consistency is key to building sustainable habits. Pascale shares how creating a small, daily, non-negotiable action, like a 10-minute stretch or a glass of water each morning, can build momentum. These small actions become the foundation of your routine, helping you stay grounded and focused without overwhelming commitment. Creating Accountability Moments Pascale highlights the role of accountability in goal achievement. She suggests setting aside time two or three times a week for “accountability moments,” where you check in on your progress. These moments provide a fresh perspective and allow you to celebrate achievements, reflect, and recalibrate as needed. Conclusion In this episode, Pascale emphasizes that the journey of goal commitment isn't about perfection; it's about progress, resilience, and compassion. By integrating identity-based goals, non-negotiable habits, and accountability into your routine, you'll find staying on track easier and more fulfilling. ………………………. FREE RESOURCES ……………………….

I'm Pascale Gibon, and I'm so glad you're here for Episode 364. Over the last two episodes, we've covered how micro-goals can lead to great results and explored seven productivity tips to create a solid, goal-oriented routine. Today, we're diving into something that many of us find rather challenging:  Sticking to our goals once we've set them. The question is, what happens next?   We agree that setting goals is exciting. Yes? But following through can be the real challenge, especially when life gets busy, distractions pull us off course, or that initial excitement fades. For this reason, I want to share today three simple yet powerful actions you can take to stay on track on your goal achievement journey. These actions are practical, heart-centred steps you can incorporate into your daily life, starting today. So, let's start!   The first action is to make your goal part of your identity. To really stick to a goal, it's essential to align it with your authentic self or the person you wish to become. We often think of a goal as something outside ourselves, an external benchmark to reach. But when you make your goal part of your identity, you're far more likely to follow through. This intrinsic connection keeps you grounded and aligned with what is most important to you.   Here is your first action in practice: Write a statement that describes you as if you have already achieved your goal. The idea is to embody your goal already. For instance, if your goal is to read 12 books this year, your statement could be, “I am so happy and grateful now that I'm a person who reads consistently and learns through books.” When you see yourself as someone who embodies your desired goal, each action towards it will feel like it reinforces who you are.   Think about your most important goal right now. Take a few minutes to write down your identity-based statement and place it somewhere you'll see it daily. You could place your identity-based statement on a sticky note on your mirror or desk or as the background of your phone. Let this statement remind you that each small action is part of the bigger picture of who you are becoming.   The second action is to embrace ‘the non-negotiable' habit Do you agree that building consistency requires commitment? The non-negotiables are the things you commit to and are not subject to modification. Sometimes, deciding that something is ‘non-negotiable' can remove the mental back-and-forth, Should I? Can I? Now or tomorrow? way of thinking we experience when we're tired, busy, or unmotivated. Think of it as a gentle yet firm promise you make to yourself.   Here is your second action in practice: Choose one small, daily action that moves you toward your goal and make it non-negotiable. Keep it small, doable, and something you're confident you can commit to every day. If your goal is to improve your physical health, this could be as simple as 10 minutes of stretching every morning or a glass of water first thing. If it's a creative goal, maybe it's 5 minutes of journaling.   The key here is consistency over intensity. So, start small, build trust in yourself, and let the positive momentum flow naturally.   Let this quote guide you: “It's easier to give up than to keep going.”   Lastly, the third action to stick to your significant goal is to set up “Accountability Moments” throughout your week. Accountability is a game-changer. We are often much more likely to stick to something when we know someone else is aware of our intentions.   Have you shared your goal with a supportive loved one, friend or family member? Even if you're working on a goal and haven't shared it with anyone, you can create gentle accountability moments that help monitor your progress, bring awareness, and keep you aligned with your path.   Here is the third action in practice: Start scheduling two to three “accountability moments” in your week where you pause and assess how you are doing. These could be the beginning, middle, and end of your week. Take a few minutes to ask yourself: “What progress have I made toward my goal? What small step can I take next to accomplish my goal?” Remember to congratulate yourself and acknowledge your progress with a reward.   If it helps, find a friend, family member, community or coach to share these accountability moments with. You can even send them a quick text to let them know where you're at. These accountability moments are extremely useful. They will help you see that each week offers a fresh opportunity to keep moving forward without judgment or pressure.   So, there you have it. I have shared three heart-centred actions to help you stick to your goals. By making your goal part of your identity, embracing one small non-negotiable habit, and setting up regular accountability moments, you'll give yourself the structure, encouragement, and consistency needed to stay on track.   Remember, it's not about being perfect; it's about staying connected to the journey and showing up for yourself. Each small step, each tiny moment of effort and progress, adds up to a transformation over time. And I believe in you. You can reach whatever you have set your heart and mind toward.   Beautiful soul, thank you for spending this time with me today. I hope these actions empower you to keep moving forward with grace, compassion, and commitment. As always, stay true to yourself, and remember, everyday life balance is a conscious way of living, not a destination. Until next time on The Everyday Life Balance Show, keep shining, and take good care of yourself. I'm sending you lots of love and light.

What Are Micro-Goals?  3. Health Goals and Micro-Action Steps  4. Financial Goals Using Micro-Steps  5. Creative Goals: Self-Publishing with Micro-Tasks  6. The Power of Commitment and Finding Your WHY  7. Moving Forward with Consistent Action  8. Conclusion Introduction and Recap of Episode 362: Pascale opens the episode by welcoming listeners and reminding them of the 7 productivity principles from episode 362. These tips such as setting daily intentions and using time blocks are foundational for creating a heart-centred, balanced approach to productivity. What Are Micro-Goals? Pascale introduces micro-goals as the antidote to feeling overwhelmed by large goals. By focusing on bite-sized tasks, you can make meaningful progress without feeling paralyzed by the bigger picture. Micro-goals help you take action, and build momentum and confidence. Health Goals and Micro-Action Steps: Using the example of improving health, Pascale demonstrates how micro-goals like reorganizing food shopping or consulting a dietician create a clear, actionable path to achieve overall well-being. The key is to break down every aspect of the goal into small, achievable steps. Financial Goals Using Micro-Steps: For those with financial goals, Pascale outlines steps like creating a savings plan, reviewing your budget, or trimming unnecessary expenses. These micro-goals make managing finances more approachable and less intimidating. Creative Goals: Self-Publishing with Micro-Tasks: In a more creative example, Pascale walks listeners through the process of self-publishing a book, emphasizing the importance of micro-tasks such as drafting an outline or scheduling daily writing time. These small steps make the larger goal of completing a book seem attainable. The Power of Commitment and Finding Your WHY: Pascale stresses the need for commitment and alignment with your “WHY.” Understanding why your goal is important gives you the strength to stay the course, even when challenges arise. She encourages listeners to explore episode 331, which guides them through the process of uncovering their deeper motivation. Moving Forward with Consistent Action: Rather than focusing on a daunting to-do list, Pascale urges listeners to take one step at a time. The practice of showing up consistently with clear, daily action is what differentiates successful goal achievers from those who get stuck in procrastination. Conclusion: To conclude, Pascale leaves her listeners with a final message of encouragement: you can achieve extraordinary things, one clear and consistent action at a time. Success becomes a joyful and fulfilling journey by committing to your goals and using micro-goals as stepping stones. ………………………. FREE RESOURCES ………………………. Love this?

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale    --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Hello, beautiful soul! A warm welcome to episode 363 of “The Everyday Life Balance Show.” I'm your host, Pascale Gibon, and as always, I am delighted to connect with you on this beautiful journey of self-growth and personal mastery. Together, we continue to focus on goal achievement because, believe it or not, we've entered the last semester of the year. Can you feel that gentle shift, that quiet yet powerful reminder that the year is winding down? Maybe you sense the buzz of the end-of-year rush already. Don't worry, you're exactly where you need to be. In episode 362, we explored seven productivity tips that help you create a heart-centred routine for achieving your goals with clarity, flow, and ease. These principles are designed not just to help you be productive but to ensure you honour your energy and well-being throughout the process. Because what is productivity if it's not in alignment with our hearts and souls? Let me briefly remind you of those seven productivity principles before we move forward:  1. Set Daily Intentions: Focus on how you want to feel and prioritize the most meaningful tasks. 2. Plan Your Day: Start each day with a roadmap that gives clarity and direction. 3. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar activities together to avoid energy-draining multitasking. 4. Prioritize Rest and Breaks: Incorporate scheduled breaks to maintain energy and stay refreshed. 5. Create an Energizing Morning Routine: Begin your day in a way that lights up your soul. 6. Use Time Blocks for Focused Work: Dedicate uninterrupted blocks of time to dive deeply into tasks. 7. Reflect and Adjust Regularly: it matters to continuously fine-tune your routine to stay aligned with your evolving goals.  If you haven't yet had the chance to listen to episode 362, I encourage you to do so. It's the perfect complement to today's episode. Now, beautiful soul, let's dive into this episode, where you'll learn one key secret to successful goal achievement. It is especially for you if you've ever felt overwhelmed or unsure about how to move forward with your goals. Do you often think about significant goals repeatedly and feel unsure where to begin? Maybe the idea of that big goal feels like a mountain - so tall, distant, and overwhelming. If that sounds familiar, take a deep breath. It's okay. This feeling is normal, and you are not alone. Here's the secret: one transformative way to overcome overwhelm is to break your goal down into micro-goals. What are Micro-Goals? Micro-goals are small, actionable steps that move you closer to your bigger goal, one step at a time. By shifting your focus from the intimidating ‘big picture' to these bite-sized steps, you regain your power to take action. Each micro-goal builds momentum, and that momentum is what leads to real progress. Let's illustrate this with an example. Imagine your goal is to improve your health. Ask yourself: Do you need to lose weight? Do you need to consult a dietician to craft a nutrition plan that suits you? Do you need to hire a personal trainer for support and accountability? Do you need to join a gym to be consistent in your fitness journey? Do you need to reorganize your food shopping to reflect healthier choices? Do you need to carve out time each day for specific exercises, no matter how small?  Each of these questions reflects a micro-goal, clear, specific, actionable steps contributing to the larger goal of improved health. Here's another example: improving your finances. Perhaps you could increase your income by negotiating a raise or starting a side business. Do you need to create a savings plan? Maybe save 20% of your income each month? Do you need to build an emergency fund equivalent to three months' salary? Do you need to trim unnecessary expenses, such as subscriptions or memberships you no longer use? Do you need to review and refine your monthly budget for better clarity and control? Each micro-goal here is a small step that makes your larger financial goal feel less overwhelming. Lastly, let's consider a creative goal, like self-publishing a book. You could ask: Do you need to dedicate time to research before you start writing? What additional resources or tools will you need to support your writing process? What does your book outline look like? Have you decided on the title and subtitle? Who will design the cover and do the editing? How much time will you commit daily: 25 minutes, an hour, or more to the writing process? What time of day will you be most productive for this deep, creative work? Do you see how your big goal becomes more manageable when it's broken down? Each micro-goal represents a small, actionable task that moves you closer, step by step, to your dream. The Power of Commitment Now, let's discuss a key companion to action to achieve goals: commitment. You will experience little progress if your heart isn't fully engaged in accomplishing your goal. Real progress comes when you commit fully to your goal and align your actions with that commitment. One of the most important aspects of commitment is identifying your “WHY.” Your “WHY” is the deeper reason that fuels your goal. It's the purpose behind your action, the emotional anchor that drives you forward even when the path gets tough. When you're clear about your “WHY,” your commitment deepens, and your journey feels less like a chore and more like a calling. For example, let's imagine a father who starts a side business. His "WHY" is crystal clear: to improve his family's quality of life, provide stability, and create a better future for his children. This purpose gives him the drive to push through challenges and stay focused. You become unstoppable when you uncover a deep and meaningful “WHY.”  If you need help identifying your “WHY,” I invite you to listen to "Episode 331: 7 Levels Deep – Unveiling The Heart Of Your Goals." In that episode, I guide you through a powerful process to explore the core of your motivation so that you can connect more profoundly with what matters most to you. Moving Forward: One Step at a Time Instead of a long and overwhelming to-do list, start with micro-goals. Focus on just one small step at a time. Breaking down objectives into manageable tasks increases your daily action, keeps you motivated, and makes the journey towards your goal more enjoyable. Remember that consistent and clear daily actions are common sense but not common practice. What sets the most successful goal achievers apart is their willingness to stay the course and show up for themselves every day, even when it's hard. You, too, can cultivate this practice with a clear plan of action, diligence, consistency, and a strong will. Until next time, beautiful soul, I'm sending you lots of love and light. Keep moving forward productively and with purpose. You can accomplish extraordinary things one small, clear, and consistent action at a time.

Whether you're just starting or already on your journey, establishing a routine that supports progress is essential to avoid overwhelm and ensure that your daily actions bring you closer to your dreams. Tip 1: Set Daily Intentions, Not Just To-Do Lists Instead of relying solely on a long to-do list, Pascale encourages you to set a daily intention based on how you want to feel and what key tasks will move you toward your goals. This shift in focus helps you prioritize meaningful work, making your days more intentional and aligned with your purpose. Tip 2: Plan Your Day in Advance Spend 10-15 minutes each evening planning your next day. Pascale explains how this simple habit removes the stress of decision-making in the morning and gives you clarity. By identifying your top three tasks each day, you ensure that you're always making progress on what matters most. Tip 3: Batch Similar Tasks Together Pascale suggests grouping similar tasks, like emails or meetings, into dedicated blocks of time. Batching tasks helps reduce the energy loss that comes with constantly switching between different activities, allowing you to maintain focus and stay productive throughout the day. Tip 4: Prioritize Rest and Breaks Rest is essential for sustained productivity. Pascale encourages listeners to schedule short breaks throughout the day, using techniques like the Pomodoro method—working in focused intervals followed by breaks. This helps prevent burnout and keeps your energy levels high. Tip 5: Create a Morning Routine that Energizes You Your morning routine sets the tone for the rest of your day. Pascale suggests designing a routine that nourishes your mind and body, such as journaling, stretching, or practising gratitude. When you start your day with intention and calm, everything that follows feels more aligned and focused. Tip 6: Use Time Blocks for Focused Work Pascale explains how using time blocks for focused work on important tasks helps you get more done without feeling overwhelmed. When you dedicate uninterrupted time to specific tasks, you can dive deep into your work and progress significantly. Tip 7: Reflect and Adjust Regularly At the end of each day or week, Pascale advises taking time to reflect on what worked and where improvements are needed. This practice helps you fine-tune your routine, ensuring that it continues to support your evolving goals and keeps you on track. Conclusion: In this episode, Pascale highlights that productivity is not just about doing more, but about doing what matters most. By implementing these seven productivity tips, you'll create a routine that supports your goals while allowing you to feel balanced, focused, and joyful. Remember to stay flexible, reflect on your progress, and regularly adjust your routine to fit your needs. You have the power to design a life that flows with ease and purpose. ……………………….

Welcome back to another episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show, episode 362. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and I'm thrilled to have you here with me today. Thank you for tuning in. I know how much you value living intentionally. In episode 358: "Goal Setting Success – 4 Months To Achieve Your Dreams," which was released last September, we paused to reflect on our goal-achievement journey. We focused on our most significant goal, the personal goal that would transform our lives if we achieved it. As a follow-up, we are going to design, in this episode, a productive routine that highly supports you in achieving your significant goal while still feeling aligned with your heart and helps you commit to excellence. This routine will include seven recommendations to increase productivity and achieve your most important goal. If you struggle to achieve your goal, observe your daily habits because they will determine your results. Brian Tracy mentions in his book "Goals": “Success is goals and all else is commentary”. He tells us, in this powerful statement, that you don't achieve success if you don't have a goal. A goal gives us something to aim for, a direction, purpose and motivation. If you set a significant goal this year, congratulations! First, let's look at who you are on your goal-achievement journey: Are you a Brave Beginner? You've taken your first steps; however, it may be necessary to cultivate a mindset that helps you adapt when you hit a roadblock and become unstoppable. Are you a Consistent Climber? If so, you are making progress every day towards your goal achievement. Momentum is your best friend, so keep nurturing it and protecting it. Are you a Lost Explorer? If you feel stuck, note that it's a STOP sign, not a dead end. Take some time to reassess your life direction. And lastly, are you a Comfort Zone Dweller? You are in your comfort zone because you still hesitate to take your first step due to a lack of clarity or fear. To shift your thinking, I recommend you ask yourself more empowering questions such as: “How can I get started right now?” Setting goals is the easiest part, but achieving them takes you on a challenging journey. If you are a good starter but not a great finisher, you will highly benefit from the seven productivity tips I'll share. You can implement those tips right now to build a routine that works for you. I must insist on creating a routine that works for you. For example, a routine that works well for me is using the 5-hour working block strategy, taking 5-10 minute breaks every 55 minutes and utilizing the breaks to rehydrate, move around, stretch, nourish my body and revitalize. One thing worth noting is that this productive routine does not leave you exhausted. It helps you create a flow that nurtures you and provides the necessary structure to bring your dream or idea into reality in a feel-good manner. You deserve to move through your days with purpose and ease, knowing each step takes you closer to your goals. Here we go! Let's dive right in: Productivity Tip #1: Set Daily Intentions, Not Just To-Do Lists We've all felt overwhelmed by a to-do list that keeps getting longer. Instead of focusing only on tasks, start your day by setting an intention. Ask yourself: “How do I want to feel today?” and “What is the most meaningful thing I can accomplish that would move me closer to my goal?” When you approach your day with intention, it's easier to prioritize tasks that align with your bigger goals. This mindset shift helps you avoid busy work, stay motivated and focus on the high-value activities that truly move the needle. It also reinforces the positive emotions you wish to feel throughout the day. Productivity Tip #2: Plan Your Day in Advance This productivity tip is a game-changer: Spend 10-15 minutes each night mapping out your next day. List the essential tasks, appointments, and even breaks you need. By planning beforehand, you remove the guesswork and decision fatigue in the morning, and you can start your day with clarity and purpose. Here is a pro tip: prioritize the needle movers, the top three most important tasks each day. This strategy gives you a clear focus and ensures that even if things get busy, you've already made progress on what matters most. Productivity Tip #3: Batch Similar Tasks Together We are like a juggler and lose focus and efficiency when we constantly switch between tasks, emails, meetings, personal responsibilities and creative work. Batching is a simple but effective way to solve this. Group similar tasks and accomplish them in dedicated blocks of time. For example, set aside specific times of the day for answering emails, handling admin work, or working on creative projects. This reduces the mental strain of switching between tasks, helping you stay in the productive flow. Productivity Tip #4: Prioritize Rest and Breaks I cannot stress enough how important it is to take breaks! Productivity isn't just about doing more; it's about working efficiently, and rest plays a huge role. Schedule short breaks throughout your day, even if it's just a few minutes to stretch, breathe, or have a moment of calm. Try the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focused work, followed by a 5-minute break. This prevents burnout and keeps your mind fresh. Remember, my beautiful soul, rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity for your energy and well-being. Productivity Tip #5: Create A Morning Routine That Energizes You Your morning routine sets the tone for the entire day. And it doesn't have to be long or complicated! Whether journaling, stretching, sipping your favourite tea, meditating or practising gratitude, choose something that nurtures you and helps you feel grounded. When you start your day from a place of calm and alignment, you can approach everything that follows with increased focus, ease and intention. It's about finding your rhythm and honouring that first moment of the day for yourself. Productivity Tip #6: Use Time Blocks For Focused Work One of the most effective ways to stay on top of your tasks without feeling overwhelmed is to use time blocks for focused work on the most important tasks. Set aside uninterrupted time blocks, perhaps 60 to 90 minutes, where you focus on one important task and complete it. Turn off notifications, put your phone on silent, and create an environment where you can dive deep into your work without distractions. During these time blocks, fully immerse yourself in the task at hand. After your focused time, reward yourself with a break and pat yourself on the shoulder. You'll be amazed at how much more productive you can be when you work in concentrated sprints rather than trying to multitask throughout the day. You will experience great results with time blocking for focused work. Productivity Tip #7: Reflect and Adjust Regularly Productivity is a journey, not a destination. At the end of each day or week, take a moment to reflect on what's working and where you might need to adjust. Ask yourself: “What tasks brought me closer to my goals?” and “Where did I feel stuck or unmotivated?” This reflection allows you to refine your routine in real-time, making it more effective and aligned with your goals as you evolve. It's all about progress, not perfection. Be kind and flexible with yourself as you grow. So, beautiful soul, I've just shared seven productivity tips to help you create a routine that supports your goal accomplishment while nurturing your heart and soul. You can implement these simple, practical changes to bring more flow and ease into your life. Let's do a quick recap: Tip #1: Set Daily Intentions to focus on how you want to feel and the most meaningful tasks. Tip #2: Plan Your Day to start each day with a clear roadmap. Tip #3: Batch Similar Tasks: Group tasks together to avoid energy-draining multitasking. Tip #4: Prioritize Rest and Breaks by scheduling breaks to stay refreshed and energized. Tip #5: Create an Energizing Morning Routine to start your day in a way that lights you up. Tip #6: Use Time Blocks for Focused Work to dive deep into your tasks with uninterrupted time blocks. Tip #7: Reflect and Adjust Regularly to keep refining your routine and stay aligned with your goals. Remember, productivity is not about doing more but about accomplishing what matters in a balanced and joyful way. You are fully capable of controlling your time and activities and creating a life that flows with ease. I'm here cheering you on every step of the way. Until next time, stay balanced and stay blessed. I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Whether you're a busy mum, a working professional, or just trying to keep up with the demands of modern life, this episode provides practical advice on how to slow down, conserve energy, and live more intentionally. Table of Contents: The Impact of Living in Rush Mode Time vs. Energy: The Real Race Activity Management: A Practical Approach The Long-Term Impact of Slowing Down The Impact of Living in Rush Mode In the episode, Pascale explains how rushing through life isn't just physically exhausting; it takes a serious toll on our mental and emotional health. The constant need to be on the go puts our bodies in a state of fight-or-flight, leading to elevated cortisol levels, stress, anxiety, and even physical health problems like headaches and high blood pressure. Time vs. Energy: The Real Race Pascale suggests that the real struggle is not against time but energy. We often believe that if we can just fit more tasks into our day, we'll be able to get everything done. However, rushing drains our energy and leads to burnout. Instead, Pascale advises focusing on energy management -prioritizing tasks based on their importance and conserving energy to be more productive and peaceful throughout the day. Activity Management: A Practical Approach Rather than trying to squeeze in more tasks, Pascale introduces the concept of activity management, where we focus on the quality of our actions rather than the quantity. This approach encourages mindfulness and setting boundaries in our daily lives - whether it's by taking breaks during a workday or learning how to prioritize tasks based on urgency and energy levels. The Long-Term Impact of Slowing Down Pascale highlights the magic that happens when we slow down and reconnect with our lives. By being more present, we start to notice the simple joys we often miss when we're rushing through our days. This shift not only benefits our mental and physical health but also helps us cultivate deeper connections with ourselves and those around us. Conclusion The episode wraps up with a gentle invitation to breathe, slow down, and approach life with more mindfulness and intention. Pascale encourages listeners to let go of the illusion that life is a race against time and instead focus on managing their energy for a more joyful and balanced life. The key takeaway? By slowing down, we open ourselves up to a deeper experience of life and well-being. ………………………. FREE RESOURCES ………………………. Love this? Do you want to live an abundant life? If you answer Yes!

Welcome back to The Everyday Life Balance Show, where we take a moment to reflect, breathe, and embrace life's journey with intention and care. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Today, in episode 361, I want to talk about something that feels all too familiar to many of us, especially in big cities, rushing. The frantic, non-stop, go-go-go energy we bring to our everyday lives. Whether you're a busy mum, a career-driven professional, or someone just trying to keep up with everything on your to-do list, it can feel like you are always racing against the clock. But at what cost? Let's take a second. I know you're probably listening while juggling a million other things - you are maybe on your way to work, picking up the kids, or crossing off your next task. But I want to ask you something: If you believe you constantly run out of time, when was the last time you truly felt present? Not just in your body, but in your mind and spirit? It's a question that can feel uncomfortable because most of us, especially women, are so accustomed to doing and being everything for everyone that we don't even realize we're living in this constant state of rush. We rush to get to work, check off our responsibilities, eat, and take care of our families, and then we rush to bed—only to do it all again tomorrow. But here's the thing: this rhythm of rushing, this need to always be moving at full speed, affects our well-being whether we realize it or not.   The Impact of Living in Rush Mode Rushing through life isn't just exhausting; it's unsustainable. Over time, it begins to impact our mental and physical health. We experience heightened levels of stress, fatigue, and burnout because our bodies are constantly in fight-or-flight mode. Think about it: When you're always hurrying, your mind and body don't have time to relax. Your cortisol levels stay elevated, leading to anxiety, irritability, and even physical issues like high blood pressure, headaches, or digestive problems. Let us not forget about the emotional toll. When we're constantly rushing, we rarely stop to connect with ourselves or the people we love. How often have you snapped at your kids, your partner, or even a co-worker, not because you're truly upset but because you're overwhelmed by the pace of life?   Let that thought linger for a second.   I know, I know—so much of this is outside of our control. There are deadlines to meet, mouths to feed, and responsibilities that demand our attention. But I want to gently remind you that while we may not be able to change the demands of our lives, we can change how we respond to them. We can change our beliefs and habits.   Time vs. Energy: The Real Race Here's the truth: what we are fighting isn't time. It's not about squeezing more tasks into the day or being super-efficient. The real issue is how we use our energy. When rushing, we're leaking energy, expanding it in a frantic and unproductive way. We tell ourselves that if we hurry, we'll get everything done. But in reality, we're burning out and missing out on the moments that truly matter. Instead of trying to beat the clock, I urge you to focus on managing your energy, not your time. Energy management is the key to creating a more balanced, joyful life.   I learnt years ago from one of my Personal Development mentors that it's not time we need to manage but our activities.   What Does Activity Management Look Like? Let me paint a picture. Imagine you're a mom of two, trying to get out of the door in the morning. You're making breakfast, packing lunches, getting yourself ready, and the kids are... well, being kids. It's chaotic, and you're rushing. But what if, instead of thinking about all the things that need to get done at that moment, you take a deep breath and think about the energy you're bringing into the situation? Start by prioritizing: What is urgent and needs to be done right now? What can wait? Most importantly, how can you approach the moment with a sense of calm rather than urgency? This is the essence of activity management, focusing on the quality of your actions rather than the quantity. It's about bringing mindfulness and intention to each task, which helps you conserve energy, reduce stress, and subsequently accomplish more in a way aligned with your well-being. For the busy 9-to-5 worker caught in the rat race, this might look like setting realistic boundaries around your workday. Instead of working through lunch or squeezing in tasks between meetings, honour those breaks. When you take time to recharge, you come back more focused and efficient. You'll find that giving yourself space to breathe allows you to accomplish more with less effort.   The Long-Term Impact Here's where the magic happens. When we stop rushing, we begin to reconnect with life in the most meaningful way. We start to notice the little joys we would miss otherwise - our children's laughter, the taste of our food, the beauty of a moment of stillness. We also reclaim our health, reducing stress and allowing our bodies to heal from the inside out. Over time, living this way helps us cultivate a sense of peace. You realize you don't have to do everything perfectly to be enough. You do the best you can and you are already enough. The more you focus on managing your energy and being present, the more you find that the world doesn't fall apart if you slow down. It often falls into place.   A Gentle Invitation So, beautiful souls, I invite you to slow down. Permit yourself to breathe, savour the moments, and approach your life with a little more gentleness. The race against time is an illusion from which we can free ourselves at any moment. Take a deep breath with me right now… inhale… exhale… You've got this. Until next time, be kind to yourself. You deserve the space to live life fully without rushing all the time. I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Thank you for tuning in to episode 360 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Today, we're diving deep into something that touches all of us: rest, relaxation, and - yes - stress. We live in a world where constant busyness becomes the norm, but what happens when that busyness turns into imbalance? Even though there are external stressors, stress is also about what's happening inside us. We'll explore how everyday imbalances - like poor sleep, bad diet, or even emotional burnout - can trigger stress. I'll give you practical tools for nurturing rest to bring your body, mind, and spirit back into balance. Let's talk about how to reclaim your peace. The Holistic Benefits of Rest and Relaxation Before we dive into what throws us out of balance, let's start with what balance looks like. It's a life that allows for the 3Rs, rest, renewal, and relaxation. Because with proper rest, everything shifts: our mental clarity and emotions. Let alone our energy levels and physical health. Rest is like a reset button for your entire system.  When was the last time you had a proper rest? Unfortunately, with the advent of technology, our mind is constantly active. We check our phones every second for emails, messages, interesting videos we can share, etc.  The fact is, your brain loves to rest. Science tells us that when we're well-rested, we think more clearly, we're more creative, and we make better decisions. Rest gives us a cognitive boost. Our brains sort through memories, consolidate learning, and clear out waste during periods of deep rest and sleep. Physical Health: However, rest isn't just for your brain. Your body needs rest to heal. Research shows that good sleep supports a healthy immune system, repairs tissues, and even reduces the risk of chronic illness. Think of it this way: every time you allow yourself to rest, you strengthen your body's ability to heal and thrive.  Emotional Wellness: How many of us have felt completely overwhelmed after a bad night's sleep or a stressful week? That's because rest regulates your emotions. When we rest, we reduce cortisol, our stress hormone, and help the nervous system shift into "rest and digest" mode. It calms the body down and releases feel-good hormones like serotonin. It's beautiful how interconnected everything is. Our mental, emotional, and physical health all feed off each other, and rest is at the core of keeping everything in balance. Let's determine What Causes Imbalances That Activate Stress Now, I want to dig deeper into why stress seems to creep into our lives so easily, especially when things feel out of balance. There are many external stressors in life, work, family, finances, relationships. What often goes overlooked are the internal imbalances that can activate stress. Let's talk about some of these common imbalances and how they can trigger stress: 1.   Sleep Deprivation: One of the biggest culprits behind stress is a lack of sleep. Sleep is your body's primary way of recharging mentally and physically. Without enough sleep, cortisol levels rise, which keeps you in a constant state of alertness. That's why, when you suffer from sleep deprivation, even small things, like a long email or a traffic jam, can feel overwhelming. Studies show that chronic sleep deprivation increases stress levels and anxiety. It can even lead to mood disorders like depression. 2.   Nutritional Imbalances: What we eat directly impacts how we feel, and certain nutritional imbalances can cause our stress response to kick into high gear. Diets high in sugar, processed foods, or caffeine can spike your energy temporarily but then crash it, putting unnecessary strain on your nervous system. Meanwhile, deficiencies in essential nutrients - like magnesium, vitamin D, or B vitamins - increase stress and anxiety levels. Your body is like a finely tuned machine. And it needs the right fuel to function calmly and efficiently. I recommend you speak to a professional dietician or nutritionist to ensure you get these nutrients in your diet or supplementation if necessary. The highest source of vitamin D is the sun. 3.   Emotional Burnout: We often think of stress as something that comes from external sources. However, emotional stress like worry, unresolved feelings, overextending yourself for others, or simply not processing emotions, can leave us feeling emotionally depleted. When you don't allow yourself to rest or recharge emotionally, you end up caught in a burnout cycle. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, irritability, and even physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue. Talking things through with a professional therapist or your best friend is comforting and a great therapy. 4.   Lack of Physical Movement: Movement is crucial for releasing stress. Prolonged periods of inactivity - such as sitting at a desk all day or being indoors - can cause our bodies to retain stress. Exercise releases endorphins, those natural mood boosters, and helps flush cortisol out of your system. So when we don't move enough, stress gets "stuck" in the body, contributing to tension and anxiety. 5.   Social Disconnection: Here is a common imbalance we don't always consider: disconnection from others can activate stress. Humans are wired for connection. When we don't get enough positive social interaction, whether through friendships, family, or community, we can start to feel isolated, and that isolation can manifest as stress or anxiety. For this reason, spending time with loved ones or engaging in meaningful conversations can calm you down. 6.   Unresolved Mental or Emotional Patterns: Sometimes, the imbalances are deep-rooted in our thinking. If you find yourself constantly in a state of 'fight or flight,' it could be due to unprocessed trauma, chronic worry, or an underlying sense of insecurity. These thought patterns trap us in a cycle of stress, even when the outside world seems calm.  Practical Tools for Restoring Balance and Reducing Stress So now that we know what can throw us off balance, let's talk about how to rebalance. Here are some heart-centred, practical tools to help you activate rest, calm your nervous system, and restore inner peace. 1.   Create a Consistent Sleep Routine: Your body thrives on consistency. Try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Create a calming nighttime ritual that signals to your body it's time to unwind, whether it's turning off electronic gadgets, drinking herbal tea, or practising a little meditation. Prioritizing quality sleep is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and restore balance. 2.   Nourish Your Body with Balanced Nutrition: Pay attention to how food affects your energy and mood. Opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins that provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Additionally, be mindful of stimulants like caffeine or sugar, which can trigger spikes in anxiety. Small, nourishing meals throughout the day help keep your blood sugar stable, which directly affects how stressed or calm you feel. Keep your gut healthy. In stressful times, we often feel discomfort in that area. 3.   Set Healthy Boundaries for Emotional Balance: Emotional rest is just as important as physical rest. Practise saying "no" when your emotional energy feels stretched. Start small, whether it's declining an invite or asking for more time to complete a task. Protecting your energy helps you avoid emotional burnout and allows time to rest and recharge. Look at a holistic tool like Emotional Freedom Technique (E.F.T). 4.   Incorporate Gentle Movement Daily: It doesn't have to be intense. Gentle stretching, yoga, or even a slow walk in nature can do wonders for releasing tension and clearing mental fog. The key is to listen to your body and give it the movement it needs to reset. 5.   Prioritize Social Connections: Make time for meaningful connections. Whether it's scheduling regular dates with a friend, calling a family member, or joining a community group, surrounding yourself with positive social support can reduce stress and give you a sense of belonging and calm. 6.   Practise Mindful Breathing Techniques: When stress hits, focus on your breath. Deep breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which calms your body. Try this simple breathing exercise: Inhale for four counts, hold for a count of four and exhale for six counts. Repeat for a few minutes and notice how quickly it brings you back into balance. 7.   Set healthy boundaries regarding your activities: Find balance in the way you manage your energy. Are there days when you are full of energy and pack everything in? Because you burnt too much energy in one day, you find yourself exhausted the following day. Learn to manage your activities well every week. Closing Thoughts: Remember, beautiful listeners, rest and balance are not a luxury. They are a necessity to thrive with ease. The next time stress tries to throw you off balance, know you have the tools to bring yourself back to a place of peace. Listen to your body, nurture it with rest, and don't be afraid to honour your limits. Your well-being depends on it. Thank you so much for tuning in today. If you found this episode helpful, please share it with someone who might need a little reminder to rest. I am sending you love and peace, and most of all I'm giving you permission to rest, renew and relax. Until next time, take care of yourself. You deserve it.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Hello, beautiful listeners. Welcome back to the Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm your host, Pascale Gibon. Sometimes, life happens, and rediscovering ourselves helps us identify what makes us feel alive. In episode 359, we will focus on an essential and often overlooked topic: bringing joy back into your life. We will look at your attitude to life, values, and habits and work on improving your wheel of life. Since you are listening to this episode, I assume you are committed to your personal growth. As you know, life is always happening for you and through you. It happens through you because your external environment reflects your internal state. In other words, if there is inner turmoil, life will seem gloomy and challenging. A more positive outlook that brings joy back is aligning your attitude (i.e. the combination of your thoughts, feelings and actions) with your values and habits. Reflective Questions Before we deep dive into values, habits and mindset, let me ask you this fundamental question: As a spiritual being having a human experience, what makes you feel alive? Is it the contentment you feel when you're fully present with your children and watching them grow? Or maybe it's the passion you have for your creative hobby that ignites your inner fire? Whatever it is, reconnecting with what brings you the greatest joy is crucial. Aligning your life with what brings you joy is a conscious and purposeful way of life to enhance your happiness. According to scientific research, purposefulness has many health benefits. It: Increases our happiness and well-being Motivates us and increases our enthusiasm Brings a smile to our face Increases our energy levels and drive Gives us momentum Helps us to be mindful and conscious of the simple things in life that make us feel alive: love, beauty, harmony, joy, passion, collaboration, relationship, peace, energy, creativity, etc. Enhances our sense of worthiness Stops us from being constantly engaged in meaningless tasks Creates emotional balance Gives us an upbeat reason to get up in the morning Helps us self-actualise So ask yourself: “What makes me feel alive and brings me the greatest joy?” Take pen to paper to answer this question. Your lack of joy may stem from a misalignment between your life choices and authentic values. Consequently, you are busy with things that, in reality, are not important to you because they are not top of value.  Let's reflect on your values across the different areas of your life using the Wheel of Life holistic coaching tool. The Wheel Of Life The wheel of life includes ten areas: Career Finances Health And Fitness Family and Friends Love relationship Personal Growth Fun and recreation Spirituality Physical Environment Contribution Do you value creativity, autonomy, or making a meaningful impact in your career? Is security, generosity, or building wealth most important to you in your finances? Take a moment to jot down what you value most in each domain. Let's do this exercise together: You will identify what you value the most in each area of your life and assess whether there is congruency between your core values and current reality. What do you value the most in your career? Next, what do you value the most in your finances? What do you value the most in your health and fitness? What do you value the most concerning your family and friends? What do you value the most in your love relationship? What do you value the most in your personal growth? What do you value the most in terms of fun and recreation? What about your spirituality? What do you value the most? What do you value the most regarding your physical environment? And lastly, what do you value the most in terms of your contribution? Now, look at the reality of your current situation. Are there any glaring incongruencies between your core values and how you are living your life? For instance, you might excel in creative expression, but find yourself trapped in a rigid corporate role that drains your spirit. Identifying these misalignments is the first step to reclaiming your joy. Developing Joyful Habits: Next, let's look at your daily habits. Do you have practices that actively cultivate joy and positive emotions? A simple yet powerful habit is a daily gratitude practice – taking a few moments each morning and evening to reflect on what you are thankful for. This routine enhances your emotional health; it shifts your mindset and helps you stay grounded in appreciation.  If you need help developing a Gratitude practice, I invite you to listen to the “7 Weeks of Gratitude Series.” It starts from episodes 315 to 321 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. How you start and end your day also significantly impacts your joy levels. Do you have an empowering morning routine that sets you up for an energised and productive day? Additionally, do you have a way to release work-related stress and be fully present with loved ones in the evenings?  Small rituals like breathing exercises, journaling, a digital sunset, or relaxing music can make a big difference. Sustaining A Positive Mindset: Ultimately, your state of mind is the gatekeeper to your joy. Do you set the intention to maintain a positive and peaceful mindset, no matter what challenges arise? Lastly, Do You Live With Heart? Do you bring joy to other people? Do you tell others how much you love them or appreciate them? When you approach life with an open heart and loving perspective, you will find beauty and wonder in the simple things. There is a lot to reflect upon in this episode. Remember you are the leading actor in the movie of your life. You can design a truly joyful and fulfilling life by aligning your passions, values, habits and mindset. The holistic coaching tool I recommend to enhance your experience is the Wheel of Life. I encourage you to take some time this week to delve deeply into this exercise. It could be the catalyst for a profound shift. Until next time, beautiful soul, I wish you a fantastic week filled with light, love and endless reasons to smile.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Hello, beautiful souls. Thank you kindly for listening to episode 358 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and today we're diving into something crucial for your growth journey. Can you believe we're already in the final stretch of the year? With just four months left, it's the perfect moment to pause and reflect on your goal-achievement journey this year.   Let's take a deep breath and focus on your most significant goal. The personal goal that would transform your life if you achieved it.  Now, I want you to close your eyes for a moment (reframe from doing this if you are driving) and ask yourself:  Have I taken those first brave steps and started moving forward? Am I making progress, even if it's just a little, every single day and moving towards my goal? Do I feel stuck, like feeling lost in a maze with no way out? Or am I still curled up in my comfort zone, afraid to make a move? Let's break these down into four scenarios and see where you fit in:    Scenario 1: The Brave Beginner You've taken your first steps - bravo! That's often the most challenging part. But here is the thing: obstacles will pop up, and the key is to adopt a mindset that helps you become unstoppable. When you hit a roadblock, you need to adapt your approach.  Think of yourself as water-flowing around obstacles, always finding a way forward. "Remember, every setback is simply a setup for an even greater comeback."   Scenario 2: The Consistent Climber Congratulations! If you are making progress every day towards your goal achievement. Give yourself a big hug. You are not just dreaming. Your goal is not just an idea; you are doing it. You have a plan of action, and you're sticking to it. This requires a great deal of discipline and is very powerful. Keep that fire burning, beautiful soul. Momentum is your best friend on this journey - nurture it, protect it and watch it carry you to new heights you've only dreamt of.    Scenario 3: The Lost Explorer Feeling stuck? It's ok, we've all been there. Think of this as a stop sign, not a dead end. It's time to recalibrate the direction you desire to take. Ask yourself:  Is my goal crystal clear, or has it become fuzzy?  Does my SMART goal need a tune-up? (That's Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely). Do I need to zoom out and look at the big picture again? Is it time to tweak my action plan? Sometimes. taking a step back helps you leap forward. Trust the process, beautiful soul.   Scenario 4: The Comfort Zone Dweller Oh, the comfort zone! We all know that it's cosy. But remember what Jim Rohn said: “Success lies outside of your comfort zone.” If you're still hesitating to take that first step, let's chat about why: Is your goal clear enough to light a fire in your belly? Is fear holding you back?  If so, check out my 5-step process in my podcast series: “Breaking Barriers: The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success.” Listen to episodes 353-357. Are you afraid of failing? If so, check out this relevant episode: “Episode 352: From Fear to Freedom - Mastering Your Relationship With Failure.” Here is a little secret: asking yourself more empowering questions can shift your thinking and entire world. Instead of “I can't do this”, try “How can I get started right now?” Feel the difference?    No matter where you are on this journey, here is your action plan to kick things into high gear: Get crystal clear on your life-changing goal. Make your goal achievable by setting deadlines that excite and challenge you. Craft a plan of action that keeps you motivated and inspired Break your plan of action down into bite-sized tasks - no overwhelm allowed! Keep the momentum by being consistent - even tiny steps count Celebrate every win, no matter how small. You're worth it! Remember, beautiful soul, you are capable of incredible things. The impactful goal you've set this year is not just a dream, it's your future reality. Every action you take is a step towards becoming the person you're meant to be.    I'm cheering for you every step of the way. Keep moving, keep believing and keep shining. You've got this! Until next Monday, I'm sending you abundant love and light. I wish you success. Make this week and every week count because you are worth every effort.

A warm welcome to episode 357 of The Everyday Life Balance show and Day 5 of our challenge: “Breaking Barriers - The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success.” I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. This episode is the last day of the challenge, and your mission on Day 5, should you accept it, is to feel the fear of success and do it anyway by taking action. To achieve this, you need to identify the next step you must take to embrace success. On Day 4, we created your new success story. Now that you are ready to feel the fear and do it anyway, let's create a concrete action plan to sustain your sense of victory over the fear of success and keep you motivated after this challenge ends. Inaction keeps you stuck and passive, whereas taking action increases clarity, eliminates confusion and builds your confidence. We will use the SMART goal-setting framework to ensure your plans are clear and achievable and to keep moving you into action. Remember, SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Here is how to create your SMART action plan: Let's start with: 1. Specific: Here, you need to define what you desire to achieve and be as specific as possible. Instead of "I want to be successful," try "I want to launch my own business in [specific field]." 2. Measurable: Determine how you will track your progress by attaching concrete numbers or milestones. For example, “I will complete my business plan within two months.” 3. Achievable: Ensure your goal is challenging but achievable given your current resources and circumstances. In other words, your goal should stretch you, but not be impossible. 4. Relevant: Aim to align your goal with your broader life objectives and values as much as possible to maintain motivation. 5. Time-bound: Set clear deadlines to create urgency and stay focused. Now, let's put this into practice. I want you to create three SMART goals: 1. A short-term goal (to be achieved in the next month) 2. A medium-term goal (to be achieved in the next six months) 3. A long-term goal (to be achieved in the next year) This balanced approach helps maintain momentum with quick wins while working towards larger objectives.   For each goal, write down: - The specific goal, create a list of smaller tasks or milestones. - How you will measure your progress - Why it's achievable - How it's relevant to your success journey - The deadlines for these smaller tasks - Consider using a task management tool or app to organise these steps. Next, break each goal down into smaller, actionable steps. What can you do daily or weekly to move towards these goals? Finally, you need to establish a robust accountability system. Choose a method that resonates with you. Your accountability system could be: - Regular check-ins with a mentor or friend - A vision board representing your goals and desired outcomes. Place it somewhere you can see it daily to reinforce your motivation. - Daily journal entries where you track your progress - A project diary - Weekly self-reflection sessions - A project management app Remember, this action plan is your roadmap to continued success. It's okay to adjust it as you grow and your circumstances change. Be consistent with your chosen accountability method and consider combining multiple methods for enhanced effectiveness. The key is to keep moving forward, one step at a time. As always, acknowledge and celebrate when you complete tasks or reach milestones. This positive reinforcement can help maintain motivation. A crucial point is to refer back to the techniques learnt in the earlier parts of the challenge. Additionally, use positive self-talk and reframe fears as opportunities for growth. I'm so proud of the work you've done over five weeks. On Day 1: You faced your fears head-on by uncovering your personal fear stories. On Day 2: You transformed your relationship with fear through a shift in perspective and mindfulness practice. On Day 3: You broke through the barrier of fear and set yourself on a path to success. On Day 4: You went through the process of created a new success story. On Day 5: You identified your next steps to fulfil your vision. To keep the momentum going, I encourage you to: ·      Focus on taking small, consistent steps rather than waiting for the perfect conditions. ·      Remember that any action, no matter how small, moves you forward. ·      Share your goals with supportive friends or family members. Consider joining a mastermind group or finding an accountability partner. ·      Continuously educate yourself by reading books, listening to podcasts or taking courses related to your goals. This ongoing learning can provide new insights and strategies. ·      Be kind to yourself when you face setbacks or miss deadlines. Use these moments as learning opportunities rather than reasons to give up. To your success and happiness! You've got this! In this final session, we brought everything together and set you on the path to living your new success story. By systematically applying the strategies I have just shared, you can effectively implement the lessons from this episode and make significant progress towards overcoming the fear of success and achieving your goals. Remember, now is your time to embrace success! Don't let fear hold you back any longer. Take that step, no matter how small it might seem. Every action moves you forward. Keep pushing through! I am excited to connect with you next Monday. Until then, have a fantastic week. I'm sending you lots of love and light.

Pascale    --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 356: Breaking Barriers - The 5- Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success (Part 4) Welcome to Day 4 of Breaking Barriers - The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and this is episode 356 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. You know what I'm excited about the progress you've made so far. Let's take a moment to reflect on your journey: So far, you have: Identified your fear, Transformed your relationship with the fear of success and Seen what lies beyond the fear barrier. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: How does it feel now to claim victory over the fear of success? But here is the thing: you are not entirely free yet. Let me explain why: resistance often persists whenever we try to remove something from our lives. Why? Because we are unclear about what to replace it with to experience progress. In the context of our challenge, you want to overcome the fear of success. However, if you are uncertain about what you desire to replace it with, it will likely show up again, perhaps even more intensely. Let me provide you with a template to help you craft your new success story. The structure of that template will guide you through the process, especially if you are finding it challenging to envision your new narrative. Remember, this is your story, so feel free to adapt this template to fit your unique situation and aspirations. Here is your New Success Story Template: 1.    The Starting Point: Begin with where you are right now. For example: “I am [your name], and I'm ready to embrace success without fear.” I'm Juliet, and I'm ready to embrace success without fear. 2.    The Transformation: Describe the shift in your mindset. For instance: 'I have realized that my fear of success was holding me back, but now I see it as a sign that I'm growing and expanding.' 3.    Your New Beliefs: List 3-5 new, empowering beliefs that replace your old fears. For example: “I can handle any challenges that come with success.” “My success inspires and uplifts others.” “I deserve to achieve my goals and dreams.” 4.    Your Actions: Describe 2-3 actions moving you towards your goals. For instance: “I'm consistently working on improving my skills.”' “I'm networking with people who inspire and challenge me.” “I diligently spend time writing my book every single day” 5.    The Results: Paint a vivid picture of what success looks like for you. For example: “Because I've made changes, I've [specific achievement]. I feel [positive emotions] and I am excited about [future goals]. ”Because I've made changes, I have written my first book, and I am excited about writing the next one.” 6.    The Ongoing Journey: Acknowledge that growth is continuous. For instance: “I know I will meet challenges ahead, but I'm ready to face them. Each obstacle is an opportunity to learn and grow stronger.” Take your time with this exercise. Let your imagination soar and ensure your story feels authentic and achievable. This is your new narrative – make it powerful and inspiring, and most importantly, make it yours. Your mission on Day 4, should you accept it, is to write your new success story. Until next time, keep taking steps to transform your results positively. I wish you a fantastic week and look forward to our connection, next Monday. I am sending you lots of love and light.

Pascale    --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 355: Breaking Barriers - The 5- Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success (Part 3) Welcome back to Part 3 of "Breaking Barriers - The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success"  I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and I'm thrilled you are still with us on this transformative journey. Remember, the key to progress is following the process I'm sharing with you and engaging fully. Enjoy episode 355 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Today, we're taking on a major challenge: Facing Your Fear. We will push your relationship with the fear of success even further, building on the insights you've gained. You understand, by now, that fear can serve you positively when associated with progress, growth, expansion, and resolution. Today, we're taking a step further, the collaborative relationship between you and your fear of success. Let's consider three controllable ways you can make healthy changes in your life: 1. Keep doing what works 2. Stop doing what doesn't work 3. Try something new and see if it works We're focusing on that third option today: try something new and see if it works. I will now guide you through a breakthrough exercise, so find a quiet space where you can fully engage. Close your eyes lightly. Now, resolve to step out of your comfort zone and overcome the fear of success for good. Imagine sitting in your comfort zone, and your dream, goal, or vision for your life lies beyond it. A barrier stands between you and your aspirations. It's the 'fear barrier.' Now, I want you to visualize breaking through that fear barrier. As you do: * What do you see beyond it? * What feelings or sensations arise? * How does your body feel once you've crossed the barrier? * What thoughts surface as you move to the other side? * What new reality have you created by breaking through? Take your time with this visualization. When you're ready, you can open your eyes. Now that you've visualized breaking through your fear barrier, I want to address some common obstacles you might face in this process. It's crucial to be prepared for these challenges in advance to overcome them effectively. Self-doubt: as you approach the fear barrier, you might hear that inner voice saying, 'I can't do this' or 'I'm not ready.' Remember, these thoughts are part of the old story. Counter them with affirmations based on your past successes and strengths. Comfort zone pull: your comfort zone might feel especially appealing when you're about to take a big leap. Remind yourself of the growth and opportunities that lie beyond your comfort zone. Overwhelm: the path beyond the fear barrier might seem daunting. Break your journey into smaller, manageable steps. Celebrate each step as a victory. Fear of judgment: you might worry about what others will think of your new success. Remember, those who matter will support your growth. Focus on your journey and goals. Imposter syndrome: as you enter a new territory, you might feel like a fraud. Keep a record of your achievements and positive feedback to combat these feelings. To overcome these obstacles, practise self-compassion, seek support from trusted friends or mentors, and regularly revisit your visualization of what lies beyond the fear barrier. Remember, obstacles are not stop signs; they're part of the journey. In today's session, you've learned three crucial points: 1. The comfort zone inhibits growth. 2. Breaking through the fear barrier and seeing beyond it is essential for moving forward and expanding. 3. What lies beyond the fear barrier is your motivator, your end goal. Your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to take some time to visualize what lies beyond the fear barrier once you allow yourself to break through it. Immerse yourself entirely in this vision. Here's a tip for today's assignment: whatever comes up for you is perfectly fine. There are no right or wrong answers - this is about your journey and insights. Remember, now is your time to break the barriers that stand in the way of your success. You're making incredible progress, and I'm excited to see how you'll continue to grow. I'll see you in our next session, where we'll continue to build on these powerful insights even further. Keep pushing forward! I look forward to connecting with you next week. I'm sending you lots of love and light.

How did you do with uncovering your fear of success story? I hope you gained valuable insights. Remember, this process of self-discovery is crucial for your transformation.   Today, we're taking a significant step forward. We're going to transform your relationship with fear. This transformation invites a shift in your thinking, paving the way for new awareness and growth.   I want you to consider this powerful question: What would your life be like if you could transform positively your relationship with fear? Imagine viewing fear from a higher perspective. This statement isn't just wishful thinking - it's a real possibility we will explore today. Let's talk about this higher perspective on fear. It's associated with growth, progress, expansion, and resolution. It is necessary to transition from a low perspective on fear to a higher one to adopt this view.   This transition involves two key elements:   1. transforming your relationship with fear and 2. shifting your understanding.   Here's the paradigm shift I want you to consider. We're moving from the old acronym of F.E.A.R. - False Experience Appearing Real - to a new, empowering one: Face Everything And Rise. When you view fear from this higher perspective - one synonymous with growth, expansion, progress, and resolution - you choose to face everything and rise. And you know what? You can do it!   Let me share now how I transformed my relationship with fear. I remember how fearful I was of releasing my bestselling book “Yes! TO Love" to the world. I had just completed the last editing phase. I feared being judged and criticised and hesitated to publish my first book. You might relate to my story. However, I reframed my thinking and looked at my situation differently. I recognised that the book served a purpose bigger than my fear and would make a difference in other people's lives. The book release was not about me but about its impact on other people's lives.   Now that we've explored this new perspective on fear, let's take a moment to put it into practice. I want to guide you through a brief mindfulness exercise to help you observe your fear objectively. This exercise is a crucial skill in transforming your relationship with fear. Find a comfortable position and close your eyes if it feels safe. Take a few deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Now, bring to mind the fear of success we've been discussing. As you think about this fear, notice any sensations in your body. Perhaps there's tension in your shoulders, a knot in your stomach, or a quickening of your heartbeat. Instead of trying to change these sensations, observe them. Imagine you're a scientist studying these reactions with curiosity. Next, notice any thoughts that come up. Maybe you hear an inner voice saying things like "I'm not ready" or "I'll probably fail." Don't judge these thoughts or try to push them away. Just observe them, as if they're clouds passing across the sky of your mind. Now, see if you can take a step back in your mind. Imagine you're watching these sensations and thoughts on a movie screen. You're not in the movie; you're just watching it unfold. From this perspective, can you see that you are not your fear? You are the awareness observing the fear. The fear is an experience you're having, but it doesn't define you. Take a few more deep breaths, maintaining this observer's perspective. When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Remember this feeling of being the observer. You can return to this perspective whenever you feel overwhelmed by fear. It's a powerful tool for transforming your relationship with fear.   I hope this exercise has given you a taste of what it's like to observe your fear objectively. Remember, you can return to this practice whenever necessary throughout your journey.   Now, let's recap what we've learned today: 1. You can transform your relationship with fear by changing your thinking and growing in awareness. 2. To process your relationship with fear, you must adopt a higher perspective. 3. Your higher view on fear is a shift from 'False experience appearing real' to 'Face everything and rise.'   Your mission for Day 2, should you accept it, is to think deeply and identify what the fear of success allows you to do or be. This mission might seem counterintuitive, but often, our fears serve a purpose - even if that purpose no longer serves us. Here's a tip for this week's assignment: Allow yourself to see beyond fear. Try to look at your fear objectively, as if you were observing it from a distance. What opportunities might it be pointing towards? What strengths might it be pushing you to develop?   Remember, now is your time to face your fear and embrace success. This new perspective on fear isn't about ignoring or suppressing it - it's about understanding it, learning from it, and using it as a catalyst for growth. I'm so proud of the work you're doing. Keep pushing forward, and I'll see you in our next session where we'll delve even deeper into this journey of transformation. I'm sending you lots of love and light

Pascale    --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 353: Breaking Barriers - The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success (Part 1) Welcome to "Breaking Barriers: The 5-Part Journey To Overcome Fear And Embrace Success." Let's transform your relationship with fear. Hi, I'm Pascale Gibon, your host and I'm thrilled you're here. Welcome to episode 353 of The Everyday Life Balance Show.  Let's dive right in with a question: Have you ever been on the verge of success, only to find yourself sabotaging your efforts? If so, you're not alone. This is the fear of success in action, and it's what we're here to conquer. Imagine standing at the base of a mountain. The peak represents your dreams, goals, and vision for life. But as you start climbing, an invisible force seems to hold you back. That force? It's fear. Not just any fear, but the sneaky, paradoxical fear of success. Now, you might be thinking, "Fear of success? That doesn't make sense. Who's afraid of succeeding?" Well, more of us than you might think. Let me share a quick story. I once worked with a client, Sarah, who knew she had a book within her. But every time she sat down to write, she found herself cleaning the house, checking emails, doing anything but writing. When we dug deeper, we uncovered her fear story: If she succeeded, people would expect more from her, and she was terrified of letting them down. This brings us to our focus for today: Uncovering Your Fear Story. We all have one. It's the narrative we've crafted, often unconsciously, about why success is scary. Maybe you believe you're not good enough, or that success will change you in ways you're not ready for. Perhaps you're worried about outshining others or facing new responsibilities.  Now, you might be wondering why we're starting here, with uncovering your fear story. Well, let me tell you - this step is crucial in your journey to overcome fear and embrace success.  You see, our fear stories are like invisible scripts running in the background of our minds. They influence our decisions, our actions, and even our inactions without us fully realizing it. By bringing these stories into the light, we can examine them objectively. Think of it like trying to untangle a knot. If you can't see the whole knot clearly, you'll struggle to unravel it. But once you can see every twist and turn, you can start to work it loose methodically. Similarly, when we understand our fear stories - where they came from, how they've shaped our behaviour, and what beliefs they're built on - we gain the power to challenge and change them. We can start to see where these stories might be outdated or based on false assumptions. Moreover, this process of uncovering often reveals that our fears are more manageable than we thought. What seems overwhelming when it's a vague, looming presence in our minds frequently becomes much less daunting when we break it down and examine it piece by piece. So, as we dive into this exercise, remember: that knowledge is power. By uncovering your fear story, you're taking the first, crucial step towards rewriting it. You're laying the foundation for all the transformative work we'll do in the coming weeks. Are you ready? Let's begin." Whatever your fear story is, it's time to bring it into the light. Because here's the truth: what we resist, persists. By facing our fear head-on, we can dismantle its power over us. So, here's your mission for today, should you choose to accept it: Uncover your fear of success story. Find a quiet space, grab a journal or open a notes app, and ask yourself these questions: 1. When I think about achieving my biggest goal, what worries come up? 2. How might success change my life in ways that scare me? 3. What's the worst thing that could happen if I succeed? 4. What beliefs do I hold about successful people, and how do they make me feel? As you reflect, be as specific as possible. The more detailed your fear story, the better equipped you'll be to challenge it.  Remember, this isn't about judgment. Your fear story isn't silly or irrational - it's a part of your journey. By understanding it, you're taking the first step towards rewriting it. Before we wrap up, let's do a quick visualization exercise. Close your eyes if it's safe to do so. Imagine yourself at the peak of that mountain we talked about earlier. You've achieved your goal. How does it feel? What do you see? Who's there with you? Sit with that image for a moment. This is the success that awaits you on the other side of fear. In our next episode, we'll start dismantling these fear stories and building a new, empowering narrative. We'll also hear from someone who's been exactly where you are and came out thriving. Until then, be gentle with yourself as you uncover your fear story. Remember, awareness is the first step to change. You've already taken that step by being here. I'm proud of you, and I can't wait to continue this journey together.  Thank you for listening. If this resonated with you, I'd love to hear about it. Share your thoughts or your fear story on social media using #FacingFearEmbracingSuccess. And don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss our next episode, where we'll dive deeper into transforming these fear stories.  Until next time, remember: Your success story is waiting to be written. It's time to pick up the pen. I am sending you lots of love and light.

Practical Application: Learning from Setbacks 6. Embracing Failure as an Ally   The Inseparability of Success and Failure Pascale introduces John Maxwell's profound insight that success and failure should never be separated. She explains how failure provides unique learning opportunities that success alone cannot offer, emphasizing the complementary nature of these experiences in personal and professional growth.   Understanding the Fear of Failure This section explores the psychological barriers created by the fear of failure.

Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 352: From Fear To Freedom - Mastering Your Relationship With Failure Hello, beautiful souls. It's Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome to episode 352 of The Everyday Life Balance Show.  I recently gained profound insight from John Maxwell, the renowned leadership mentor, speaker and New York Times bestselling author. He said, "We should never separate success and failure. We learn things out of failure that we cannot learn from success. And one makes the other better." If you've ever felt petrified by the fear of failure, I dedicate this episode to helping you shift your perspective. Today, we'll explore how failure is not just a part of the success journey – it's an essential component. Think about it: How often have we hesitated to step out of our comfort zone and take that first step towards our dreams because we're afraid to fail? Usually, beneath this fear lies a more profound belief that we're not good enough to achieve our goals. It's a vicious cycle of doubt: "I don't want to succeed because I don't want to fail. I'll be ridiculed, judged, and criticized if I fail, and I can't bear that." This toxic relationship with failure keeps us stuck, preventing us from reaching our true potential. But what if we could reframe our thinking? What if, beyond that terror barrier you're facing, lies freedom? Freedom from the fear of failure, freedom to embark on an exciting journey of growth and achievement. The key is understanding that you will "fail forward" many times on the path to goal achievement. Each setback is an opportunity to learn, grow, and progress. It's like encountering a roadblock and knowing how to overcome it because you've been there before and found your way around. Let me share a personal example. I made a significant mistake when I set up my complementary therapy business back 2007. I didn't thoroughly analyse the financial aspects – the expenses versus income. This oversight taught me an invaluable lesson that I'll never forget. Now, I always advise aspiring entrepreneurs to scrutinize their figures before launching their business, considering factors like room rental costs, equipment expenses, hiring staff, etc. Can you see how this new perspective – that failure and success are inseparable – can empower you to take that first step towards realizing your dreams? There's no holding back now. Give yourself permission to move forward and welcome failure as an integral part of your success story. With this new awareness, failure becomes your ally on the path to success. Failure acts as feedback and suggests it's time to adjust your approach, to get back on track, or sometimes to start anew. Embrace failing forward on your journey as evidence that you're progressing and learning valuable lessons. Remember the wise words of Dr Willie Jolley: "A setback is nothing but a setup for a comeback." Let this be your mantra as you pursue your goals. I hope this episode inspires you to stay motivated and keep pushing forward. Your journey to success is unique, and every stumbling block is an opportunity for growth. Embrace the process, learn from your setbacks, and celebrate your progress – no matter how small.  As we wrap up, I challenge you to take one step this week towards a goal you've been hesitating to pursue. Remember, it's okay if it doesn't go perfectly – that's part of the journey. I wish you a fantastic week filled with courage and determination. Until next Monday, keep striving, no matter what. I'm sending you lots of love and light. Take care and recognise that your greatest successes often lie beyond your biggest failures.

Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 351: Finding Peace in A Stressed-Out World - The Power Of Everyday Balance   Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome to episode 351 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm your host, Pascale Gibon, and today we're diving deeper into the concept of everyday life balance.   Before we delve into our main topic, I want to share some eye-opening statistics about stress worldwide. Did you know that according to the World Health Organisation, stress has been labelled the "Health Epidemic of the 21st Century"? It's a global issue that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. Let me share some alarming figures with you:   ·      A Gallup poll found that about 35% of people worldwide reported experiencing a lot of stress in their daily lives.   Now, let's look at some recent figures closer to home here in the UK:   ·      According to the latest Health and Safety Executive report for 2021/2022, work-related stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 51% of all work-related ill health cases in the UK. That is over half of all workplace health issues! ·      The same report found that stress, depression or anxiety were responsible for a staggering 17 million working days lost in 2021/22. Just imagine the impact on both individuals and the economy. ·      Interestingly, the industries with higher than average rates of stress were public administration and defence, human health and social work, and education. You may nod in agreement if you work in any of these fields. ·      When asked about the main factors causing their stress, people cited workload pressures, including tight deadlines, too much responsibility, and a lack of managerial support. Does this sound familiar to any of you?   But it's not just about work. A recent survey by the Mental Health Foundation in 2023 found that 74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point over the last year that they felt overwhelmed or unable to cope. That is three out of every four adults! Perhaps most alarmingly, 32% of adults said they had experienced suicidal feelings as a result of stress. This statistic serves as a strong reminder of the significant impact stress can have. The survey also revealed that 65% of adults in the UK have felt anxious or worried in the previous two weeks. That's a lot of people carrying around worry and anxiety day to day.   These UK-specific statistics paint a sobering picture - stress is a significant and growing issue affecting millions of lives right here in our country. And remember, these figures reflect a post-pandemic world, suggesting that recent global events may have intensified our collective stress levels.   These statistics are eye-opening, aren't they? But here's the thing, my dear listeners - while stress may be prevalent, it doesn't have to rule our lives. This is where our topic of everyday life balance comes in...   You see, cultivating balance in our daily lives isn't just about feeling good - it's about combating this global stress epidemic on a personal level. It's about navigating our fast-paced, often chaotic world without sacrificing our peace of mind and well-being. So today, we'll explore how everyday life balance can be your secret weapon against stress.   We'll dive into: ·      What this balance means, ·      How it can transform your approach to life's challenges, and ·      Practical ways to cultivate it in your daily routine.   Now, you might be thinking, "Pascale, we've heard experts say that perfect balance is impossible." And you know what? They are not entirely wrong. But here is the thing – we're not aiming for perfection. We strive for progress, peace, and a way to navigate life's challenges with grace and resilience.   So, let's break this down and explore what everyday life balance means and how it can transform your life, helping you become part of the solution to this global stress epidemic.   First and foremost, everyday life balance is a mindset. It's not about having everything in perfect equilibrium all the time. It is about cultivating a state of mind that allows you to find peace, love, well-being, happiness, fulfilment, harmony, and freedom - even when life feels chaotic. Think about it this way: imagine you are on a boat in the middle of the sea. The waves are constantly moving, sometimes gentle, sometimes rough. Your balance isn't about making the sea still – it's about learning to move with the waves, to find your centre even as everything around you is in motion.   Now, let's talk about how this mindset translates into problem-solving. When you face a challenge - and we all do, don't we? - everyday life balance teaches us to pause and ask, "How can I maintain my equilibrium in this situation?" This simple question shifts your focus from the problem itself to how you respond to it. It's empowering because it reminds you that while you can't always control your circumstances, you can control your reaction. For instance, if you're facing a difficult situation at work, instead of getting caught up in stress and worry, you might ask yourself, "How can I approach this in a way that maintains my peace of mind?" Maybe it is taking a few deep breaths before responding to a challenging email. Perhaps it's stepping away from your desk for a short walk to clear your head. The specific action isn't as crucial as the intention - to foster balance or peace of mind.   Now, here is where it gets interesting. Everyday life balance is fundamentally about inner work. You've probably heard me say this before, but it's worth repeating: your external environment reflects your internal state. When you nurture inner peace, you'll see it reflected in your outer world. Cultivating everyday life balance doesn't mean that external challenges magically disappear. But it does mean that you develop the capacity to respond to those challenges from a place of centeredness rather than reactivity. It's like being the eye of the storm - calm and steady even when everything around you is swirling. So, how do we do this inner work? One powerful approach is to practise self-reflection. Take time each day - even if it's just a few minutes - to check in with yourself: ·      How are you feeling? ·      What is occupying your thoughts? ·      Are you holding onto any tension in your body? Simply bringing awareness to your inner state can be transformative.   Another key aspect of everyday life balance is perspective. When we're in the midst of a challenge, it's easy to get tunnel vision and feel like this difficulty is all there is. But balance teaches us to zoom out, to look at our lives from a higher vantage point. From this perspective, we often find that the thing causing us stress is just one small part of a much bigger picture. We might even begin to see how this challenge is serving us, teaching us, and helping us grow. It's like looking at a tapestry - up close, you might only see a tangle of threads, but step back, and you can appreciate the complete, beautiful design.   I want to emphasise now something important: cultivating everyday life balance isn't a one-time thing. It's a practice, something we return to again and again. And here is the beautiful part - the more we practise, the stronger we become.  Think of it like building a muscle. You strengthen your inner resilience whenever you commit to responding to a challenge by seeking balance. Over time, you'll find that things that once threw you off-centre barely annoy you. You become, as I like to say, unshakeable.   A crucial part of this journey is learning to trust your inner voice. We all have an innate wisdom, a part of us that knows how to find balance even in the most challenging times. But often, we've learnt to ignore this voice, to be doubtful, and to listen to external opinions instead. Everyday life balance teaches us to tune back into this inner guidance, trust it and let it lead us back to our centre when we have strayed.   You might wonder, "Pascale, this all sounds great, but what are the tangible benefits?" Well, my dear listeners, they are numerous and profound. When you cultivate everyday life balance, you'll likely feel less stressed and more grateful. You'll complain less about your circumstances because you'll have the tools to handle whatever comes your way. You'll also likely find a sense of inner strength that perhaps you didn't know you had. This strength doesn't come from never facing difficulties - it comes from knowing that whatever challenges arise, you can maintain your balance, find your centre, and stay true to yourself.   Before we wrap up, I want to remind you of a beautiful quote from James Allen: "Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom." This calmness, this balance, is available to all of us. It's not about having a perfect life but finding peace even in an imperfect life.   If you desire to cultivate more peace to reduce stress, I'd recommend this transformative tool: my guide, Yes! To Love Success Habits: 7 Steps To Inner Peace, Joy And Happiness.

Start small - perhaps with a few mindful breaths when you feel stressed. Notice how it feels to pause, to centre yourself and choose balance. And remember, every moment is an opportunity to begin again, return to balance and cultivate peace.   Thank you for joining me in this exploration of everyday life balance. Remember, now is your time to transform your life, one step at a time. Have a fantastic week! Until next time, take care, and as always, lots of love and light.

It involves recognizing the positive aspects of our lives and appreciating the efforts of others that contribute to our well-being. Developing an attitude of gratitude shifts our focus from what we lack to the abundance that surrounds us, fostering a more positive and satisfying life experience. Benefits of Practicing Gratitude Scientific studies highlight numerous benefits of practising gratitude regularly. These include improved sleep quality, enhanced immune function, self-confidence, and stronger interpersonal relationships. Regular gratitude practice also promotes emotional stability and can lead to long-term happiness and contentment. Overcoming Barriers to Gratitude Practising gratitude can be challenging in a society with a negative bias. Media often amplify negative news, making it harder to maintain a positive outlook. Additionally, comparing ourselves to others can hinder gratitude, as it diverts our focus to what we lack rather than appreciating our unique journey and accomplishments. Five Steps to a Daily Gratitude Practice Gratitude Journal: Jot down ten things you're grateful for every day. Consistency is key to ingraining this habit. Verbal Gratitude: Express what you're thankful for out loud in the form of prayer or affirmation, acknowledging the love and goodness you receive daily. Share Your Gratitude: Communicate your gratitude to those who matter most in your life, either through letters or face-to-face conversations. Gratitude Meditation: During meditation, focus on the people and events you're grateful for and send them positive thoughts. Reframe Challenges: When faced with difficulties, find the lessons within and express gratitude for the growth and awareness these experiences bring.  Transforming Challenges with Gratitude Gratitude offers a powerful framework for reframing negative situations. By identifying and appreciating the lessons within challenges, we can transform adversity into opportunities for personal growth and greater wisdom. This shift in perspective empowers us to embrace life's complexities with an open heart. Conclusion Cultivating an attitude of gratitude requires intentionality and practice, but the rewards are immeasurable. You open the door to a more positive, resilient, and joyful life when you integrate gratitude into your daily routine.

Pascale    --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 350: Unlock True Happiness - 5 Steps To A Daily Gratitude Practice Hello, beautiful souls. I am Pascale Gibon, your host, welcoming you to episode 350 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Since we are halfway through the year, let us dive into the importance of cultivating gratitude. All this means is that gratitude must become a customary practice in your everyday life and not just an occasional acknowledgement. The mindset you develop with appreciation is that life happens for and through you daily. When you are grateful every day, you acknowledge the daily blessings and remain in a positive energy and mindset. The more positivity you attract into your life through your attitude of mind and heart, the more blissful your life becomes. Robert Emmons, who is a proponent of gratitude research, defines gratitude as follows: An affirmation of goodness. A way for us to acknowledge that the sources of this goodness are outside of ourselves. We are usually grateful to someone for something. Are there benefits to gratefulness? Recent mental health research found 35 benefits of practising gratitude regularly. According to current scientific studies, cultivating gratitude contributes to an individual's character development and overall well-being. There are many health and mental benefits to gratitude, to name a few: better quality sleep, boosted immunity, relieved depression, self-confidence, patience, optimism, resiliency as well as enhanced relationships. A regular practice of gratitude can lead to long-term emotional stability and contentment. Just imagine the effects of a grateful heart versus an ungrateful one. The former is loving and open, and the latter is contracted and resentful.  Practising gratitude daily improves our well-being and makes us stronger.  Gratitude leads to true happiness, and let me encourage you to make it a habit. As we go through our day-to-day lives, we usually take things for granted, and whenever things go wrong, we immediately fall into the trap that life is happening to us. Moreover, there is another trap: a mind drawn to negativity instead of positivity. It can be challenging to be grateful in a negativity-bias society. The media knows that sensational negative headlines sell more than positive ones. Since individuals are more attracted to negative news than positive ones, this reality prompts us to reinforce positivity in our lives with the gratitude practice. Another barrier to gratitude is comparing ourselves to others. When we compare ourselves to others, we fail to be grateful for what we have and our accomplishments. A comparison mindset leads to discontent, jealousy and a negative self-image.  So, how can we incorporate gratitude into our daily lives to enhance our character and well-being? Here are five ways to cultivate gratitude daily: 1. Gratitude Journal: Hold a gratitude journal and write down ten things you are most grateful for every day. Since this is a daily routine, it requires discipline and consistency. For this reason, I like the next practice if you fall out of the journal practice. 2. Verbal Gratitude: Make it a daily habit to say out loud what you are most grateful for in your life. It could be in the form of prayer. Additionally, make it a routine to acknowledge all the love you receive throughout the day. 3. Share your gratitude: Share your love with the people you are most grateful for in your life. You can write them a letter or tell them face to face.  4. Gratitude Meditation: Practise a gratitude meditation. As you meditate, reflect on the things you are most grateful for in your life. For example, bring the people to mind you appreciate the most in your life and send them gratitude. 5. Reframe Challenges: Reframe negative situations into positive lessons: Life happens, and we encounter challenging situations. However, you can take a deep breath and reframe the negative situation into a positive one. We express gratitude when we understand the lessons behind challenging situations that enable us to grow in wisdom and awareness. Those lessons are priceless.  As a practitioner of gratitude through daily prayer, I now also use gratitude throughout the day. Whenever I am aware of the expression of love, I appreciate that love and say “thank you” to the invisible and visible help I receive with appreciation.  It is proven that the attitude of gratitude has many psychological and physiological benefits. How could you incorporate more gratitude into your life? Would a gratitude journal or meditation work for you? Is expressing words of appreciation to others something you need to do more often? Do you need to send a letter to someone to let them know how much they helped you and how much you love them? Take a moment to reflect on gratitude and examine whether you have adopted an attitude of gratitude in your life to experience more positivity. If so, let me congratulate you. If not, it is time to act on the content I have just shared. Every year In November, I run the Gratitude Experiment 7-week Challenge, keep an eye out on my website pascalegibon.com for the forthcoming dates. It would be great to have you as a participant.  I look forward to connecting with you next Monday and wish you a fantastic week of gratitude. I am sending you lots of love and light.

She offers insights and practical tips to cultivate patience and rediscover balance in our daily lives. Table of Contents The speed-driven society Personal mindfulness in everyday activities The impact of impatience on mental health and relationships The Marshmallow Test and delayed gratification Practical ways to cultivate patience Reflection and next steps  The speed-driven society Pascale begins by highlighting how speed has become the norm in our modern society. She provides examples such as rapid online deliveries, self-service checkouts, and digital boarding passes. While these conveniences save time, they can lead to an expectation of instant gratification in all aspects of life. Personal mindfulness in everyday activities Sharing a personal story, Pascale describes how she transformed her cycling commute from a rush to beat red lights into an opportunity for mindfulness. By embracing red lights as moments for deep breathing and gratitude, she found a way to bring peace to her daily rides. The impact of impatience on mental health and relationships The episode explores how the constant need for speed can negatively affect our mental health and relationships. Pascale discusses scientific research showing that cultivating patience through self-control can lower anxiety and depression. She also emphasizes how rushing and distractions can lead to poor listening and missed opportunities for deeper connections with loved ones. The Marshmallow Test and delayed gratification Pascale references the famous Marshmallow Test, which demonstrated that children who could delay gratification often had better life outcomes. This study underscores the importance of patience and the ability to wait for long-term rewards rather than seeking instant gratification. Practical ways to cultivate patience The episode offers several heart-centred practices for cultivating patience: - Taking mindful breaths when feeling impatient - Practising gratitude for the present moment - Engaging in activities that naturally slow you down - Focusing on truly listening during conversations  Reflection and next steps Pascale encourages listeners to reflect on areas in their lives where they could be more patient and challenges them to take a small step towards cultivating patience in the coming week. Conclusion Pascale concludes and emphasizes that balance is key to reducing stress and that cultivating patience can lead to deeper joy, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life. She reminds listeners of the importance of bridging the gap between efficiency and savouring life's moments, inviting them to continue this journey of self-discovery and mindfulness. ……………………….

Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 349: The Lost Art Of Patience – Rediscovering Balance In A Fast-Paced World Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome to episode 349 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I am Pascale Gibon, your host, and today we are diving into a topic that touches all of our hearts: cultivating patience in our fast-paced world. Thank you for listening. In our modern society, speed has become the norm: We order online and receive goods within hours. We rush through self-service checkouts at supermarkets. We use apps to order and pay at restaurants, bypassing human interaction. We download boarding passes and zip through airports. While these conveniences save time, they can leave us craving instant gratification in all aspects of life. But, beautiful souls, patience is a virtue we must nurture with love and intention. Let me share a personal story. As a cyclist, I used to wish for all green lights on my commute. But I have had a change of heart. I was thinking about other drivers, cyclists, motorcycles and pedestrians on the road. Now, when I stop at a red light, I wait patiently and embrace it as a moment of mindfulness. I breathe deeply, feeling gratitude for the pause in my day. This simple shift has brought such peace to my rides. Think about it. It can become problematic if we expect everything to function at high speed. Remember when queuing was just a normal part of life? Nowadays, we often find ourselves fidgeting and complaining if we wait more than a minute. But what if we used that time to practise presence? To breathe, smile at a stranger or send a loving thought to someone in our lives?  Scientific research shows that cultivating patience through self-control can lower anxiety and depression. Isn't that beautiful? By slowing down, we nurture our mental health. Now, let us discuss how our need for speed affects our relationships. Good communication requires us to be fully present and attentive, yet our short attention spans and susceptibility to distractions often lead to poor listening. When we are always rushing, we might miss the subtle nuances in conversation and the unspoken needs of our loved ones. Are we truly present at family diners, or are we itching to check our phones? Let us challenge ourselves to listen fully with our hearts and be fully present with those we love.  Do you remember the famous Marshmallow Test? According to this classical study, children who could delay gratification (that is, wait to receive a second marshmallow) often had better life outcomes regarding academic performance, health and social skills. This study teaches us that good things come to those who wait. Instant gratification means to expect a quick reward for every action we take. However, chasing quick fixes in health, relationships, or personal growth, often leads to disappointment and frustration. True, lasting change requires patience and perseverance. In a society where speed has become the norm, we ought to observe how our behaviour can affect others and strive to balance efficiency and patience. So, how can we cultivate patience in our daily lives? Here are a few heart-centred practices: 1. Take mindful breaths when you find yourself getting impatient. 2. Practise gratitude for the present moment, even in seemingly frustrating situations. 3. Engage in activities that naturally slow you down, like gardening, strolling in nature or meditation. 4. When communicating, focus on truly listening rather than formulating your response. I invite you now to reflect: Where in your life could you be more patient? What small step are you willing to take this week to cultivate more patience? Remember, balance is key to reducing stress, and you need to bridge the gap between time for efficiency and time for savouring life's moments. Cultivating patience implies opening our hearts to deeper joy, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life. Thank you for joining me on this journey of self-discovery. Until next Monday, may your week be filled with mindfulness. I am sending you lots of love and light. Take care, beautiful souls!

It is Pascale Gibon, and I am thrilled to welcome you to episode 348 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. This month, we are diving deep into the concept of expansion, and I am here to help you cultivate that precious growth mindset. You see, when we expand our thinking, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and perspectives. But, when we contract and limit our thoughts, we retreat into our shells and dismiss any potential for change. Now, let us talk about one of the most powerful tools for creating positive change and living a conscious and intentional life: the power of choice. No matter what life throws our way, we always have the power to choose, and all of us can use it effectively. One thing is for sure. Sometimes, we make choices that do not serve us well, and other times, we make brilliant decisions that uplift our souls. But this episode is not about judging our choices as right or wrong. It is about remembering that we always have a choice. And we can use its power. Think about it: Suffering is a choice Happiness is a choice Change is a choice. Ask anyone who has changed their life positively, and most will tell you the same thing: “I was no longer willing to tolerate my situation, so I chose to change.” Choices lead to decisions. And decisions fuel commitment. When we make a truly committed decision, it is final - there is no turning back, only moving forward.  Now, I know that sometimes life can make us feel like we do not have any choice. But the truth is, we always do. Look at it this way: Every experience we go through is the fruit of our choices - like getting married, having children, choosing a particular career path or deciding where to live. If you are feeling stuck right now, take a moment to reflect on the fruitful decisions you made in the past. For instance, I decided to move from Paris to London, initially planning to stay for just a year. But I fell in love with the experience and decided to make London my home because I craved enriching experiences and loved travelling. What about you? What decisions have you made that have brought joy and growth to your life? This little exercise can remind you of your power to make successful choices in your life. I know it can be scary to make a choice sometimes. We worry about making the wrong decision or fear the grass might not be greener on the other side. But, here is a little secret: the most empowering thing we can do is to remember our past successes and the enriching experiences that resulted from our decisions. This little secret helps us make decisions from a position of strength rather than fear. I hope this episode inspires you to make wise choices if you feel stuck. Remember, the power of choice is always yours!

Until then, have a fabulous week filled with empowering choices. Beautiful souls, I am sending you all my love and light.

In this insightful episode, Pascale breaks down 6 strategies to help you unlock powerful self-discipline habits. Table of Contents: The Connection Between Discipline and Success Developing Intense Focus Becoming a Creature of Habit Through Repetition Staying Unstoppable Through Consistency Organising Your Life Like a Boss The Power of Self-Commandment Nurturing an Unstoppable Growth Mindset Conclusion The Connection Between Discipline and Success Discipline is paramount for experiencing real, lasting success in any area of life. When you study highly accomplished people across all fields, the common thread is their incredible level of self-discipline. These individuals refuse to let distractions, discomfort, or laziness derail them from their path. Developing Intense Focus In our chaotic world, having our attention scattered is all too easy. Pascale recommends time-boxing with distraction-free windows or doing a daily "Power Hour" on your highest-leverage task. Keep your eyes on the prize. Becoming a Creature of Habit Through Repetition From artists like Picasso to athletes like Michael Jordan, the path to mastery is paved with thousands of hours of diligent practice and repetition - Etch habits of excellence into your neurology through persistent revisiting of the fundamentals.

Get organized by mapping out your year, keeping a diary, and anticipating your ideal schedule. The Power of Self-Commandment True discipline requires clear, unwavering self-directives that you then follow through no matter what. It's about high self-awareness to course-correct when you're drifting off track.

Nurture this through daily habits like reading, exercise, and meditation. Conclusion Unlocking unshakable self-discipline is like building a powerful mental muscle. It requires focus, repetition, consistency, organization, clear self-accountability, and an unstoppable growth mindset. Commit to flexing these "discipline muscles" daily, and you'll be astonished by what you can achieve. ………………………. FREE RESOURCES ………………………. Love this? Do you want to live an abundant life?

Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 347: Self-Discipline Secrets - Discover 6 Powerful Habits To Achieve Any Goal   Hello, wonderful listeners! It is Pascale Gibon here. I am so thrilled to be your host for episode 347 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I hope you are ready to dive deep into a crucial topic today - discipline. Yes, the sometimes difficult-to-achieve but oh-so-powerful quality that makes the distinction between those who achieve lasting success and those who stay stuck spinning their wheels.   You see, when we examine the lives of truly successful people across all walks of life, one striking commonality emerges - an incredible level of self-discipline. These high performers refuse to let distractions, momentary discomforts, or fleeting moods derail them from their chosen path. Instead, they cultivate laser-like focus, develop habits of persistence, and hold themselves to exceptionally high standards.  You might have a worthy ideal or goal. So today, I will share six powerful ways to strengthen your self-discipline muscle. Think of it as a workout plan for your willpower! How exciting!   Let us start: Pillar #1: Develop Intense Focus  In this chaotic and distracting world we live in, it is all too easy to have our attention shattered into a million little pieces. But the road to results requires laser-like concentration on what matters most. Try time-boxing techniques like giving yourself a 5-hour distraction-free window to get things done or commit to a daily "Power Hour" where you pour all your energy into your highest leverage activity. Keep the big picture in mind always.   Pillar #2. Become a Creature of Supportive Habits Repetition paves the path to mastery. Just look at legends like Picasso, Michael Jordan, or Janet Jackson, whose stunning artistry flows effortlessly thanks to thousands of hours of diligent practice. Read that book again that is most impactful to you. One of my mentors, Bob Proctor, read the book by Napoleon Hill, “Think And Grow Rich” every day for over 50 years. Listen to that course repeatedly. Etch the habits of excellence into your neurology through persistence and consistency.     Pillar #3. Be Unstoppable   There is no such thing as 'discipline' without consistency. Prolific achievers like author John Maxwell, who wrote over 100 books, do not park their talents. They just keep going and experience lasting success. Let go of the stop-and-start approach that leaves you with numerous unfinished projects. Keep going and do not give up until you have crossed the finish line.   Pillar #4. Organise Like a Boss Let us face it - chaos breeds more chaos. If you want to be more disciplined, start by getting organised. Map out your year in advance.  You get things done when you anticipate the activities you wish to carry out daily. Keep a physical diary that lays out your daily priorities. As the saying goes, "What gets scheduled gets done." So anticipate and schedule your ideal reality in advance.   Pillar #5. Adopt Self-Commandment   True self-discipline requires issuing clear and unwavering directives to oneself and then following through, no matter what. It is about maintaining a high level of self-awareness to notice when you drift off-course and immediately course-correct when necessary. When you commit to a goal, you do it without excuses, ifs, ands, or buts.   Pillar #6. Cultivate A Growth Mindset  More than anything, lasting self-discipline flows from an unstoppable growth mindset. It is the determination to expand and evolve, to embrace failures as data points, to persevere through adversity, and to keep climbing higher. Nurture this mindset by committing to daily personal development through reading, exercise, meditation, and more.    To get started, follow the 20-20-20 rule. Every day, discipline yourself to spend: 20 minutes of reading or listening to a personal development book, podcast or course 20 minutes exercising 20 minutes of practising mindfulness through meditation and prayer   To improve your results and experience success, I invite you now to take some time to ponder these six pillars of self-discipline:   Pillar #1: Intense Focus Where could you apply more focus to get better results?  Pillar #2: Supportive Habits  What habits need strengthening through repetition?  Pillar #3: Become Unstoppable What endeavours require you to stay more consistent?  Pillar #4: Get organised How could a better organisation support your success?  Pillar #5: Adopt Self-Commandment Which commitments are you not following through fully?  Pillar #6: Cultivate A Growth Mindset What steps can you take today to tend to your growth mindset?     You can do this. Take purposeful action, one disciplined step after another, and I guarantee you will improve your results. Besides, your confidence will skyrocket.    I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until next time, live disciplined! I am sending you lots of love and light.

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale  --------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------- Episode 346: Empower Your Future - Discover 5 Strategies To Rise Above Your Circumstances Hello, beautiful souls. I am Pascale Gibon, your host. A warm welcome to episode 346 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. In episode 345, I encouraged you to be bold and to make a fresh start unapologetically to fulfil your dreams. In this episode, I would like to share a mindset shift I consider essential for creating changes in your life. The mindset shift is as follows: whatever your aspiration for change may be, do not let your circumstances dictate your future.  I will share five tips to help you adopt this perspective. You will discover that a change of perspective aligns with a growth mindset, is more solution-focused and is at the foundation of personal development. At the top of the mountain is the principle that 'life is always happening for you and through you.' Here are the reasons why letting our circumstances dictate our future problematic: 1st reason: Disempowerment Being a victim of our circumstances is disempowering. The main issue with allowing our circumstances to dictate our future is that we remain stuck as if there was no way out or light at the end of the tunnel. This mindset is ok if we do not have any sense of discontent and choose the status quo. However, I would argue that things need to change when we continue to complain about our circumstances. 2nd reason: Limited awareness Our level of awareness results from the experiences, lessons, learnings and wisdom we have acquired, which help us build resilience as we meet roadblocks. Therefore, accepting growth means acquiring another level of awareness.  3rd reason: Disillusion When we allow our circumstances to dictate our future, we feel disillusioned. Regrettably, a significant number of younger individuals feel disillusioned about the future. Let me present a new possibility: harnessing our ability to create at will and be the change we want to see in the world. There are numerous accounts of individuals who have transformed their lives from poverty to wealth, suffering to joy, ill health to wellness, and hopelessness to a purposeful existence. Therefore, we know it is possible to change our circumstances.  In this light, let me now share five principles that will help you improve any aspect of your life intentionally:  The acclaimed thought leader and author Mary Morrissey shares in her Ted talk “ The Hidden Code For Transforming Dreams Into Reality” the time she was in hospital with a fatal kidney disease. She was given six months by the doctors and felt terrified. She believed God was punishing her for getting pregnant during her teen and that life was happening to her.  However, an encounter with a chaplain offering prayer before surgery at the hospital saved her life. Once Mary shared with her what had gone on in her life the last year or two, the chaplain said: “ Mary, everything that exists is created twice. It is first a thought before it becomes a thing. There is an infinite number of possibilities.” What the chaplain was doing was helping Mary change her thoughts by believing in the idea that she could get better. Mary Morrissey said: “She gave me a prescriptive for how to use my thinking and emotion.” If you feel disillusioned about the future, what if you could harness your creative power to create change? It is possible if we believe so.  Principle #1: Be the change you wish to see  We are all responsible for the kind of world we create every day, in our lives and the world at large. The world I yearn for is one of peace, love and harmony for myself, my loved ones and every human being. What change do you desire for yourself that would impact the world positively? This fundamental question allows you to live your life with intention and meaning.  Principle #2: Get back up  We all encounter setbacks, and changing our relationship with failure is necessary. The perfectionists listening, I hear you. Please consider that failure is feedback. It indicates that something needs adjustment or abandonment to move on to something better. I remember and recognize now the time in my life as the dark night of the soul. You have probably heard my story when I suffered from existential angst and was seeking the meaning of my life. I needed to get back up and change my inner state. I received an answer to my prayer and the most powerful lesson: I was here to enhance people's lives. This lesson gave me hope, stopped me feeling sorry for myself and got me back up. I am here to give love unconditionally. Can you recall similar circumstances when you got back up? What happened?  Principle #3: Get better, not bitter No matter what happens to you in life, change your state from one of resentment to one of acceptance and resilience. Let go of the things of the past that are beyond your control and start creating a bright future. Like Eckart Tolle said, suffering does not occur in the present moment. It occurs when we bring into the present moment memories of the past we have not made peace with. Let us say, for example, that you are having a great day. However, an incident occurs that reminds you of a past trauma you have not fully healed from. Remembering this unpleasant memory changes your present happy state into one of sorrow. We need to let go of the memories that cause us suffering. This solution is central to the Hawaiian healing technique known as Ho'oponopono. You work with your inner child to let go in the present moment of all the memories that cause you suffering, pain and sorrow.  Your circumstances are the result of particular behaviours, actions and beliefs. What if you need to change them to meet your new goals? To do so, reflect on Albert Einstein's quote: “Without changing our pattern of thought, we will not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns of thought.” To improve our lives, we need to transform the habits that do not serve us and develop better thoughts, beliefs and actions to improve our results.  Principle #4: Keep the faith, and trust Increase your confidence and believe that you can change your circumstances. You are in the driver's seat. Do not expect anyone else to do the push-ups for you. Start believing that you can start all over again and get the support you need from professionals, friends or loved ones to clarify your next steps towards your dreams. A great way to take a leap of faith is to recount your life successes. What decisions did you make to succeed? What were your thoughts, beliefs and actions?  Principle #5: Leap forward Take a blank piece of paper and declare the first action you desire to initiate to change your circumstances. Once you know, act upon it and seek additional resources if and when necessary. Feel the fear and do it anyway because you are ready for growth. Isn't change a fascinating subject? At times, we embrace it naturally without thinking. At other times, we overthink it and resist it. However, understanding its value and the difference it can make is crucial.  We can change our circumstances by doing things in a certain way. Here is a recap of the five principles to help you improve any aspect of your life intentionally: Be the change you wish to see: live with intention and create positive change in your world.  Get back up: view failure as feedback and use setbacks as stepping stones. Get better, not bitter: release past resentments and focus on building a bright future. Keep the faith and trust: believe in your ability to change and take control of your destiny. Leap forward: identify and act on your first step toward changing your circumstances.  Now, I encourage you to take these principles to heart and implement them. Reflect on the change you desire and start taking steps today. Remember, you have the power to shape your future. Have a great week of transformation, peace and fulfilment. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. I am sending you lots of love and light.

The Power of Visualization Sharing a personal example, Pascale highlights the power of visualization in manifesting desires. She recounts how visualizing her ideal flat with specific features led to finding a property that met all her criteria, demonstrating the effectiveness of clear and vivid visualization. Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Pascale addresses common limiting beliefs that hinder progress, such as feelings of inadequacy and fear of failure. She offers practical tools to shift perspectives to more empowering and positive thoughts, encouraging listeners to ask themselves how they can overcome obstacles to generate new ideas. Expert Guidance from Mary Morrissey Drawing on insights from Mary Morrissey', author of "Building Your Field Of Dreams," Pascale outlines four key areas of life where we typically seek improvement: health and well-being, relationships, career, and time and money freedom. She encourages listeners to assess and improve these areas for a more balanced and fulfilling life. Assessing and Improving Key Areas of Life Pascale suggests an alternative approach to assess all seven areas of life: health, finances, career, relationships, spirituality, contribution, and fun time. She explains how rating each area on a scale of 1 to 10 can help identify areas needing improvement and set goals for enhancement.

For instance, improving health through better diet, regular exercise, and seeking professional guidance can lead to substantial progress over time.

I am Pascale Gibon, your host. In episode 345 of the Everyday Life Balance Show, I am so thrilled to announce the celebration this week of the 7th anniversary of The Everyday Life Balance Show. It is an honour to lead this show and celebrate with you every week the joy of designing our lives to achieve peace, joy and fulfilment. Thank you so much for tuning in weekly, subscribing and leaving your comments. In this episode, we will dive into honouring our field of dreams. I intend to inspire you to pursue and accomplish your dreams to feel fulfilled. You will learn in this episode how to deepen your vision for your life, strengthen your belief in your ability to start again and get results. Your fulfilment awaits full expression.  Life is beautiful, and one of those beauties is the opportunity to design our lives and reinvent ourselves at will. We all have ideals; however, there is a gap between those who follow their ideals and those who do not. Those who succeed at living their ideals have a clear vision and follow specific steps to get there. They do not assume it will happen overnight, though they believe strongly it will come true. Today, we will explore how you can start bridging that gap and move towards living your ideal life. Perhaps you aspire to transition to live your best life and turn your dreams into reality. If so, start by creating a clear vision of what your life will look like. What makes it ideal, and why do you want it? Now that you have a vision of your ideal life, let us dive into a practical process to help you realise your vision. Project yourself into the future one year from now. Imagine you are living your ideal life. Write down on paper what has happened for you to succeed. What steps did you take to get to where you are one year from now? This Future Pace Visioning Process projects you into the future, where you have changed your results and accomplished your dream. It allows you to identify the steps you took to succeed. It is enlightening to envision yourself in the future as if your dreams have already come true. You act with this vision in mind. The Future Pace Visioning Process gives you a roadmap to accomplish your goal. Albert Einstein said that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. This principle highlights the necessity of vividly visualising what you want to accelerate the manifestation process. For example, I manifested the flat I live in. I wanted a flat with external space, a fireplace and high ceilings. Can you believe that a flat with high ceilings, a balcony, and two fireplaces is what I found? Visualisation is so powerful. To clarify, when I approached the estate agents to buy my property, I already knew what I was looking for, which shortened the process. There is a saying that you know when you have found the right home to live in. I knew I had found the right flat because it met all my criteria. Spending more time visualising what we want and setting specific goals and intentions to improve our lives is necessary. However, this process is not always straightforward.  Sometimes, we do not know what we want or where to start. In other instances, our limiting beliefs, which often manifest as deeply ingrained thoughts that negatively impact our perception of what we can achieve, such as “I'm not good enough,” “I can't succeed in this,” or I don't deserve success,” stop us from thinking big, progressing, experiencing success outside of our comfort zone and reaching our full potential. A practical tool to overthrow your limiting beliefs is to change your perspective into one that is empowering and positive. For instance, if you feel like you can not cope with something because of fear, you can replace negative thoughts with more positive and empowering ones rather than succumbing to powerlessness. For example, you might ask yourself, "How can I overcome this?" to generate new empowering ideas. To help us overcome these challenges, we can turn to expert guidance. According to Mary Morrissey, the author of “Building Your Field Of Dreams,” there are four areas where we usually create results or experience improvements: Our health and well-being  Relationships Career Time and money freedom Let us discover how you can assess and improve these areas of your life. An alternative is to consider all seven areas of your life: your health, finances, career, relationships, spirituality, contribution and fun time. Rating each area on a scale of 1 to 10 helps you assess whether you have poor or excellent results in each area, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. For example, if your result related to your career is 3/10, it is an area of your life you need to start working on improving. In the areas where you experience poor results, what would you love for these areas to be 10/10?  Another process is to focus on the most challenging area of your life. For instance, let us take your health. If your result in that area is 3/10, what would make it a 10? In other words, what are the small and significant improvements you need to make each day to improve your health and shift from 3/10 to 10/10? It is the significant daily improvements that will make a difference. Regarding your health, the small and significant improvements could be looking at improving your diet, observing how your body responds to certain foods, balancing your energy, allowing some quality rest time, checking your level of fitness, and seeking the help of a personal trainer to improve your flexibility, strength and fitness. Taking the stairs instead of the escalator, cycling or walking instead of driving your car all the time, etc. Now that you have a specific area of your life you desire to improve, let us do a future pace visioning exercise. Let us say that your dream is to improve your health because it is a challenging area. Imagine a future version of yourself projecting into the future, one year from now, who has already accomplished your ideal state of health.  What do you see? How do you feel? Ask your future self: “What did I do to get healthy?”  Living your ideal life by improving the quality of your life is a choice. Living this way means not sticking to the status quo and being willing to do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true. There is no quick fix. With determination and perseverance, you can achieve your goals. Wayne Dyer said that many individuals die with their music still in them. The main reason is that they have not acted on their dreams. If you have given up on your dreams, it is ok to start again. Make a fresh start and fulfil your ideal life! It is time to move into action, and if you need help with starting again,  email support@pascalegibon.com with the subject line: “Make a Fresh Start.” We will send you the access link to the “Make a Fresh Start” video training, where I take you through the 5-step framework to move smoothly towards your desired goal for a brand new beginning.  Living your life in alignment with your authentic values and passions is so fulfilling. Our longing for greater freedom is natural. Build your dream from now on, set yourself free by harnessing your creative power to design the life you dream of, love your life and find purpose and fulfilment. Here is a summary of the key points discussed in this episode: Honour your dreams for fulfilment You can bridge the gap and achieve your dreams by overcoming the obstacles in your way.  Visualise what you desire your dream life to be by following the rating process and future pace visioning process. Living your ideal life is a choice. Commit fully to accomplishing your dream.  It is time to move into action to fulfil your dream.  You can engage fully with each episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show on my Facebook business page: Facebook.com/pascalegibonfanpage.

We all face bumps along the road. Have you ever felt stuck or demotivated? If so, you are not alone. Various reasons might explain your demotivation, such as burnout, fear of failure or lack of clear direction. However, today, I am here to be your cheerleader.  Hi, I am Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome to episode 344 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for taking the time to tune in. The origin of the word motivation is motive or to have a reason or reasons for doing something or behaving in a certain way. Therefore, when feeling demotivated, you may lose sight of the reason for doing something. Here are seven actions to get motivated again. I suggest you implement the ones most relevant to your situation: Get crystal clear about your path by defining the steps you need to take to reach your destination because any road can get you there. I believe it is important to clarify your plan because, without it, you are planning to fail. In addition, set clear intentions to take the necessary steps towards your goal achievement. Return to your ‘why.' Ask yourself: why does your chosen goal matter to you? Why do you strive to achieve it? Why are you doing it? Reflecting on this can reignite your motivation.  I talked extensively about knowing your ‘why' in episode 331 of The Everyday Life Balance Show, entitled: “7 Levels Deep: Unveiling The Heart Of Your Goals” Change your state by taking a break. If you have been working relentlessly, stepping back can refresh your mind and motivation. Recharge your batteries by introducing an exercise routine. Physical activity will uplift your mind and body by stimulating serotonin, the feel-good hormone. Recharging your batteries makes sense if you have been sitting for hours on end in front of the computer. Build authentic confidence by cultivating a never-give-up attitude. You build authentic confidence when you have trust in your abilities and faith that you will reach your destination no matter how challenging the journey. Celebrate your small victories. A friend of mine confided that when he starts a new project, he procrastinates because he sees the whole mountain and feels overwhelmed by the work ahead. If this is you, instead of feeling overwhelmed by the entire journey, focus on taking one step at a time and celebrate each achievement to boost your motivation. Share your goal with like-minded people. Joining a community of goal achievers or a mastermind group can provide valuable support, new perspectives and accountability.  I hope these seven actions you can take now will help you stay motivated. Remember, you do not know until you try.  To summarise, the seven actions are: Setting a clear plan of action Knowing your why Changing your state    Recharging your batteries Building authentic confidence  Celebrating small victories Sharing your goal with like-minded people. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, stay motivated and inspired and keep moving towards your goals. I am sending you lots of love and light.

Welcome to episode 343 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you so much for tuning in. In this episode, we will dive into the everyday life balance concept. As regular listeners know, I have designed The Everyday Life Balance Show to help you embrace balance daily. Today, I want to highlight why this concept is crucial for achieving happiness, health, and wealth. Achieving total balance is challenging, but the everyday life balance concept serves a valuable purpose. It acts as a guide, a daily reminder to cultivate peace of mind no matter what life throws your way. The ultimate goal of everyday life balance is to find peace amidst life's chaos and challenges. I love sharing tips and tools to help you tackle any difficulties you face with greater ease and speed. You might wonder, how do I do that? How do I find peace amidst life's chaos and challenges? Here are a few prerequisites to help you optimize time for stillness and calmness of mind: Set the intention to let go of attachments: letting go means not being attached to any outcome and allowing yourself to be. Accept the need to change your state: transition from stress to calmness by accepting that peace is your natural state. Embrace moments of oneness and stillness daily: mindfully embrace the moment of calmness you experience. You can achieve these steps through meditation, prayer or yoga practices.  For me, everyday life balance is synonymous with love, peace, well-being, happiness, fulfilment, harmony, and freedom.  However, you may have a definition of balance you can call your own, which is perfectly fine. Take a moment to answer this question: What does everyday life balance mean to you? What shape or form does it take? Do you have a spiritual practice or ritual that promotes inner harmony? In our fast-paced world, where instant gratification is the norm, building a mindset focused on restoring and maintaining balance in all aspects of our lives will bring us greater peace.  My message is simple: if you are overwhelmed by too much stress, distractions and responsibilities, it is time to restore balance by shifting from the outside/in (being distracted by external stimulus) to the inside/out (cultivating inner calmness and peace of mind). It is fantastic if you have already found ways to maintain balance and prioritize peace of mind. If you have not and need more guidance, listen to the "Journey To Inner Peace" 10-part series, from episodes 191 through 200. Keeping daily balance in mind brings numerous benefits: you will feel more grateful, less stressed, and more resilient. You will build inner strength and stop complaining about your circumstances.  Trust your inner voice to guide you as you restore balance and find peace amidst life's chaos and challenges.  When life difficulties shout at you, remember James Allen's quote: “Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.” Here is to your calmness of mind, joy, and happiness! I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, have a fantastic week. I am sending you lots of love and light.
