In today's discussion, performance mindset coach, Sean Hansen, looks at creating an abundance focus.  We have a finite amount of time, energy, and attention.  Yet, we expend so much of those things pursuing wealth and material possession.  Is that how we want to using the one resource that we can never get more of -- time.Are you an executive, entrepreneur, or combat veteran looking to overcome subconscious blind spots and limiting messaging to unlock your highest performance?  Feel free to reach out to Sean at Reload Coaching and Consulting.Resources mentioned: Bronnie Ware's website on the 5 Regrets of the DyingForbes article exploring whether money buys happiness Daniel Kahneman-Angus Deaton study on money not buying more happiness  Matthew A.

Regrets, we all have them right? I mean they are a human response to life and living. Regrets can play an intricate part of self reflection, learning lessons and even bettering one's life so to speak. But when regrets become a ruminating thought and play like a broken record in your mind, it is then that past regrets can become crippling because your focus on the past will begin to absorb the present time. And the thoughts of the "woulda, coulda, shouldas" will become a trap that's hard to escape. This steel  trap can become so intense that it can negatively affect how we view ourselves and our lives in  our "present" day. This is so sad to me, because this is the space we all need to avoid The past is gone ...and what you're doing today... right now...is really what matters and that's where your power is, it is in the present where changes can be made. The past can not be changed. Regrets are part of life, none of us can live out our lives perfectly, only Christ did this. As humans it's virtually impossible to be perfect, and regrets are going to happen and we can not let our regrets take over our thoughts in the present. In a study performed by Harvard psychologists Matthew A. Killingsworth  and Daniel T. Gilbert, 2200 Subjects could choose from 22 general activities, such as walking, eating, shopping, and watching television. On average, respondents reported that their minds were wandering 46.9 percent of time, and no less than 30 percent of the time during every activity except making love.What this study shows is that mind-wandering appears ubiquitous across the board and that  our mental lives are pervaded, to a remarkable degree, by the NONPRESENT.2 of my favorite verses to meditate on when I find myself fixating on the past. Matthew 11: 28-3028 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light" Phillipians 4:6"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."One of my other favorite verses that I use as a daily reminder for being present is this.Psalm 118:24"This is the day that the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it."Learning to manage our thoughts about life and past regrets,can soften, with practice. In this episode we dive into three really simple exercises that give wonderful results for practicing mindfulness.1) walking meditation2) food mindfulness exercise3) gratitude journalingHaving these small moments will start conditioning your mind to take these moments and learn to be truly present.You know by now, after listening to the first three episodes that the power of our thoughts are enormously responsible for the way we are living day after day. Just like brushing our teeth, saying our prayers, exercising >>>> training our brain is imperative to overall wellness and quality of life.I hope this episode and learning these three simple practices will help you get started with training your brain and moving forward from a positive mindset.Please make sure to find The Thought Vault on Facebook and Instagram, and if you want to listen to these exercises again, go to boldpearls.com/meditations all of our christian meditations or mindful exercises are uploaded for each episode. Until Next time, “Do Not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:2, Go live with bold intention, bye for now!

Here's why you shouldn't give up your daydream even if you think it won't happen. The truth is you literally can't help daydreaming! Does that surprise you? According to a recent study led by Harvard psychologists Daniel Gilbert and Matthew A. Killingsworth, people let their minds wander 47%  of the time they are awake. As a life coach it is in my blood to help my clients set and reach goals and yes that includes those daydreams that are in your thoughts nearly half of your awake time.Here's what I truly believe and I hope you will agree with my reasoning. So why shouldn't you give up your daydream?  Here are five reasons not to give up your daydream: You have certain gifts and talents that are truly unique to you and only you can carry out those dreams in your own way with your voice. Your innermost being is yearning to fulfill your dreams and your subconscious mind is hard at work to figure it out and make it happen. The world needs you and what you have to say and give. If there was ever a time in history where you could get your message, product or service out, now is the time. With social media and people searching online for what they need and at an astonishing rate that only continues to grow, the world is primed. They are literally looking for the answer you have to offer!  If you don't follow your dreams you will undoubtedly regret it and wonder "what if" and that's no way to live. No one likes regret. You're ripping off the world by not sharing your gifts and talents. Oh I know what you're thinking but honestly how many times do you go online and google something? Ok, thats my point! If you lack the confidence to pursue your daydreams, reach out to me. I'd love to help!
