Identity transformation, a fascinating concept that pertains to the process of consciously reshaping one's personal beliefs, habits, and environment for self-development, plays a pivotal role in personal growth. Lance Essihos, an advocate of this intriguing concept, suggests that our identity is sculpted by our everyday habits, actions, and past experiences. With an unwavering belief in the potential for personal metamorphosis, Essihos emphasizes the capacity to alter one's identity by cultivating new habits and taking distinct actions. He underlines the importance of crafting a lucid vision of the individual you aspire to be, aligning your actions with this vision to revolutionize your identity. According to Essihos, confronting discomfort and stretching beyond one's comfort zone are crucial steps in creating a fresh identity, as adherence to old habits can result in stagnation. Ultimately, he inspires individuals to observe and emulate those they admire as an effective strategy to evolve into the person they wish to be.Time Stamps:(00:03:26) Habitual Shift: Crafting a New Identity(00:06:55) Embracing Personal Transformation: Shedding Past Identities(00:08:53) Embracing Discomfort for Personal Transformation(00:13:57) "Daily Action Steps for Personal Growth"Connect with Lance:* Grab a copy Mastering Adversity Book: https://a.co/d/c8HXL6j * Tired of being the best kept secret?

Was recently discussing with a friend that daily we are in a fight for our lives, for our faith, and against temptations and sin. It's not the most exciting if you look at it from that perspective. But something I've come to learn through walking through the last several episodes of Reflections is that instead of thinking of each day as a fight and fighting the weakness of the flesh, we can and should think of the greatness of our Father. The might acts, marvelous beauty and care, the love, and the opportunity to work in partnership with Him and spend eternity in His presence. As Psalm 100 tells us we should be going about our day making a joyful noise and praising Him, serving Him with gladness. Looking for the things to praise and thinking on our Father I've noticed makes it easy to get through the day and brings great rejoicing to my heart. Maybe this is something you can try.

No excuses.nnTip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions from Your LifenWasting time on low priority tasks is one of the most common sources of interrupting your success. Email - texting - social media - internet surfing - personal phone calls - chatting - etc. are time wasters for many of us. Work hours should be reserved for work. Close email and internet outside specific time blocks. Turn off the ringer on your phone or filter calls through a team member. Remove paperwork that you are not currently working on from your sight. Create a system that works best for you - and stick to it. Consistent execution of new habits that put you in the highest probability position to make better progress, so you can create the business and life you want. nnTip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging HabitsnNo one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it's important to be aware of your tendencies. When you are aware of your sabotaging habits, you can easily spot them - and stop them - from distracting you from your success. Whether you create procrastination, overwhelm, emotional crisis, physical exhaustion, relationship drama - or a host of other common habits - you're creating self-sabotage. Achieving your goals becomes a lot easier when you can spot troublesome habits, and consciously and quickly get yourself back on track.nnTip #4: Get Clear on the WhynWhen you get clear on why you're working on any particular task, you can intellectually grasp whether you really need to be doing it at all or having someone else do it. Ask yourself, “Why am I doing ___________________ (insert task)?” If your answer isn't a good enough why, you know you shouldn't be spending your valuable time on it.nnTip #5: Chunk Like-Tasks TogethernPrep time and pre-task setup can eat up huge amounts of your time, so chunk like-tasks together. Another benefit to chunking? Reducing the “scatter-brain” effect. Multi-tasking and jumping between tasks reduces your brain's ability to maintain focus, effectiveness and efficiency. Examples of chunking your time include: Listening to voicemail/returning important phone calls - reading emails/replying to urgent inquiries – making prospecting calls – seeing clients in your office – creating marketing materials - coordinating off-site meetings with other appointments/errands - etc. nnAlong this same line of thinking, consider scheduling time to really prepare for the meeting on your calendar (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes).

Also, schedule time after your meeting to complete any actions you need to so you don't have to try and remember them later in the day, two days later, or at the end of the week. Get things done and the move on to the next meeting with a clear head for that meeting. Tip #6: Create a Block Schedule Create hour blocks in your workday where you focus on a single task or a chunk of like-tasks. During that block of time, nothing else gets your attention, except the task or tasks in front of you. At the end of the block (1, 2, 3 or 4 hours) whatever was on your calendar is now finished. Tip #7: Live Life By Appointment Only! When someone calls in, have your assistant take a complete and in-depth message, and schedule a time you will return the call. I have never heard of anyone who says the life ‘phone tag.' So, stop phone tag! Meet with your assistant and other team members by appointment only to reduce interruptions. As much as possible, live your life by face-to-face or phone appointments only. You'll be amazed at how much more efficient you are by applying this one concept. Tip #8: Ready-Set-Go! For intense task completion, use a timer and set it for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Using a timer allows you to create a game or healthy competition against the clock - giving your focus and energy an edge. You'd be surprised how much you can accomplish when you create a fun or somewhat competitive environment. Tip #9: Do What You Do Best, Delegate the Rest You should only be focusing on the tasks that you complete with the greatest efficiency, effectiveness and results. Everything else should be delegated to a team member, assistant, or virtual assistant who produces the best results. Ask yourself, “Could someone else do what I'm doing, if I just assigned it to them, told them how or gave them a process to get it done?” Too many entrepreneurs I talk to hold on to things way too long just because they have always done them. Successful entrepreneurs are excellent delegators! Tip #10: Leverage Your Peak Energy Each person has their own unique time of the day when they are at their peak energy. Whether you're an early bird or night owl, tackle the tasks that require the most energy and focus to complete during your unique peak energy - you'll get more done in less time with optimal results. Ask yourself, “When is the best time to get the best result for the various activities you do each day?” Tip #11: Eat Healthy for Real Energy Being an entrepreneur requires real energy; sugar, caffeine, and processed foods only offer a false energy and the afternoon energy crash can be severe. Reduce or eliminate sugar, caffeine, and processed foods as much as possible, while boosting raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains to maintain steady and consistent high energy. Some studies suggest having a small snack/meal every 2-3 hours. Review these 11 tips and decide which ones you will implement first for even greater success.

As a business owner, there are things you must do in order to accomplish your goals so you can have the kind of business and life you have dreamed of having. From managing a team to handling clients - and everything in between - it can be easy to lose complete control of your day. We all have the same 24 hours available each day; it’s how we chose to use those 24 hours that’s makes the difference. Meetings, client services, and a To-Do List a mile long are frequent daily tasks in the world of running a business. The key is find an effective way to handle our daily routine to stay focused and on track to achieve your goals in the shortest amount of time and the least amount of effort. Tip #1: Break Goals Down in to Daily Action Steps - and Track Them Somewhere between running a business and having a personal life, it’s not uncommon for our goals to fall by the wayside. If you are not paying attention to your goals on a daily basis, you’re probably taking the long way around. Break goals down into daily action steps and put them into your daily calendar/diary/planner. Those action steps should be labeled high priority and handled as early on in the day as possible, or at the best time that leads to the best result. No excuses. Tip #2: Remove Distractions and Interruptions from Your Life Wasting time on low priority tasks is one of the most common sources of interrupting your success. Email - texting - social media - internet surfing - personal phone calls - chatting - etc. are time wasters for many of us. Work hours should be reserved for work. Close email and internet outside specific time blocks. Turn off the ringer on your phone or filter calls through a team member. Remove paperwork that you are not currently working on from your sight. Create a system that works best for you - and stick to it. Consistent execution of new habits that put you in the highest probability position to make better progress, so you can create the business and life you want. Tip #3: Be Aware of Sabotaging Habits No one is ever completely free of self-sabotaging habits, which is why it’s important to be aware of your tendencies. When you are aware of your sabotaging habits, you can easily spot them - and stop them - from distracting you from your success. Whether you create procrastination, overwhelm, emotional crisis, physical exhaustion, relationship drama - or a host of other common habits - you’re creating self-sabotage. Achieving your goals becomes a lot easier when you can spot troublesome habits, and consciously and quickly get yourself back on track. Tip #4: Get Clear on the Why When you get clear on why you’re working on any particular task, you can intellectually grasp whether you really need to be doing it at all or having someone else do it. Ask yourself, “Why am I doing ___________________ (insert task)?” If your answer isn’t a good enough why, you know you shouldn’t be spending your valuable time on it. Tip #5: Chunk Like-Tasks Together Prep time and pre-task setup can eat up huge amounts of your time, so chunk like-tasks together. Another benefit to chunking? Reducing the “scatter-brain” effect. Multi-tasking and jumping between tasks reduces your brain’s ability to maintain focus, effectiveness and efficiency. Examples of chunking your time include: Listening to voicemail/returning important phone calls - reading emails/replying to urgent inquiries – making prospecting calls – seeing clients in your office – creating marketing materials - coordinating off-site meetings with other appointments/errands - etc. Along this same line of thinking, consider scheduling time to really prepare for the meeting on your calendar (5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes). Also, schedule time after your meeting to complete any actions you need to so you don’t have to try and remember them later in the day, two days later, or at the end of the week. Get things done and the move on to the next meeting with a clear head for that meeting. Tip #6: Create a Block Schedule Create hour blocks in your workday where you focus on a single task or a chunk of like-tasks. During that block of time, nothing else gets your attention, except the task or tasks in front of you. At the end of the block (1, 2, 3 or 4 hours) whatever was on your calendar is now finished. Tip #7: Live Life By Appointment Only! When someone calls in, have your assistant take a complete and in-depth message, and schedule a time you will return the call. I have never heard of anyone who says the life ‘phone tag.’ So, stop phone tag! Meet with your assistant and other team members by appointment only to reduce interruptions. As much as possible, live your life by face-to-face or phone appointments only. You’ll be amazed at how much more efficient you are by applying this one concept. Tip #8: Ready-Set-Go! For intense task completion, use a timer and set it for 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. Using a timer allows you to create a game or healthy competition against the clock - giving your focus and energy an edge. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish when you create a fun or somewhat competitive environment. Tip #9: Do What You Do Best, Delegate the Rest You should only be focusing on the tasks that you complete with the greatest efficiency, effectiveness and results. Everything else should be delegated to a team member, assistant, or virtual assistant who produces the best results. Ask yourself, “Could someone else do what I’m doing, if I just assigned it to them, told them how or gave them a process to get it done?” Too many entrepreneurs I talk to hold on to things way too long just because they have always done them. Successful entrepreneurs are excellent delegators! Tip #10: Leverage Your Peak Energy Each person has their own unique time of the day when they are at their peak energy. Whether you’re an early bird or night owl, tackle the tasks that require the most energy and focus to complete during your unique peak energy - you’ll get more done in less time with optimal results. Ask yourself, “When is the best time to get the best result for the various activities you do each day?” Tip #11: Eat Healthy for Real Energy Being an entrepreneur requires real energy; sugar, caffeine, and processed foods only offer a false energy and the afternoon energy crash can be severe. Reduce or eliminate sugar, caffeine, and processed foods as much as possible, while boosting raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains to maintain steady and consistent high energy. Some studies suggest having a small snack/meal every 2-3 hours. Review these 11 tips and decide which ones you will implement first for even greater success.

Today's guest is blogger, Anthony Ongaro.  He shares insights on how to get the most out of technology without it running your life.  Do you hear the ping on your phone and immediately grab it to check who's doing what without even thinking about what you're doing?  Then you may benefit from looking into breaking your own twitch.  Anthony and I explore all sorts of philosophies on living your best life, including introducing "intentional friction" and other ways to mold your environment to your benefit to help you reach YOUR Vibrant Potential.  Check out the show notes at www.drchrisfrykman.com/breakthetwitch for details on his new course, "Daily Action Steps".  He's offered the Vibrant Potential Tribe 50% off his latest work when you type in "Vibrant50" into his registration.  Well worth it.   For more information on Dr Chris Frykman and Anthony Ongaro as well as some of the strategies discussed in today's show please visit www.drchrisfrykman.com/breakthetwitch For more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
