Beyond Borders: A Spiritual Journey Home. The Odiyana Project on YouTube. www.Tibetanaidfoundation.orgAfter a worldwide quest for meaning following personal tragedy, a couple returns to America with newfound perspective. Having traveled through India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, they share profound insights about appreciating American freedom while reflecting on global inequality, spiritual growth, and their humanitarian work establishing an orphanage abroad. This thought-provoking conversation explores what truly matters in life beyond material comfort. A significant portion of the conversation centers on their humanitarian work, specifically the establishment of an orphanage in India through their foundation, the Tibetan Aid Foundation. The project provides shelter, food, education, and hope to children who previously had no future, including a 12-year-old boy they adopted whose parents had been forced to sell him due to extreme poverty. The podcast highlights themes of gratitude, perspective, the search for meaning, and finding joy in helping others despite personal tragedy. It serves as a reminder to focus on what we have rather than what we lack, especially when comparing the different types of struggles faced by people in wealthy versus developing nations.Key Points:The couple's spiritual journey was prompted by the loss of their son and feelings of emptiness despite material comfort in AmericaThey visited India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, meeting spiritual teachers including the Dalai LamaThey gained perspective on American abundance compared to the basic survival struggles in developing countriesThey established an orphanage in India that provides children with basic necessities and hope for the futureThe conversation emphasizes gratitude and focusing on what we have rather than what we lack

She offers three tips for how make skepticism work positively: 1. Pause and question, 2. Gather evidence, and 3. Stay open-minded. She discusses how to approach each step and then shares three tips on how to cultivate more hope: 1. Look for kindness, 2. Find the good in situations, and 3. Share the positivity.

  Summary In this conversation, Amas Tenumah and Bob Furniss discuss the essential skills for success in customer service roles, emphasizing the importance of empathy, authenticity, and a positive attitude. They explore how these skills can be taught or innate, and the impact of genuine interactions on customer experiences. The discussion highlights the need for contact center leaders to trust their employees to be themselves and to foster authentic relationships with customers.   Takeaways Empathy is the most crucial skill in customer service. You cannot teach empathy; it must be inherent. Authenticity in interactions leads to better customer experiences. Positive attitudes can sometimes feel insincere. Trusting employees to be themselves enhances service quality. Customer service training should focus on genuine interactions. Scripts can hinder authentic communication with customers. Empathy should be felt, not just expressed in words. Leaders should encourage authenticity in their teams. Building relationships with customers is key to effective service.

#forgiveness #positivemindset #guidinglights   Visit our sponsor today!   For more positivity, good news, and uplifting messages visit:  Thank you for listening! If you like, please subscribe for more!     The Path to Forgiveness: Freeing Yourself from Resentment Holding onto resentment is like carrying a heavy weight that slows you down and prevents you from moving forward in life. Resentment can stem from feeling wronged, betrayed, or hurt by someone else's actions. While it's a natural human response, allowing resentment to fester can be toxic, impacting your mental and physical well-being. The path to forgiveness is not always easy, but it's a journey worth taking to free yourself from the burden of resentment.   Understanding Resentment Resentment is a complex emotion that often arises from a sense of injustice or mistreatment. It can manifest as anger, bitterness, or a desire for revenge. When we hold onto resentment, we relive the hurt and pain over and over again, preventing us from healing and moving on. Resentment can lead to stress, anxiety, depression, and even physical health problems if left unchecked.   The Benefits of Forgiveness Forgiveness is not about condoning or excusing the actions of others; it's about releasing the negative emotions that are weighing you down. When you forgive, you free yourself from the chains of resentment and open the door to inner peace and emotional well-being. Forgiveness has been shown to have numerous benefits, including:   1. Improved mental health: Forgiveness can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, leading to a more positive outlook on life. 2. Better physical health: Holding onto resentment can contribute to high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health issues. Forgiveness can help alleviate these physical symptoms. 3. Stronger relationships: Forgiveness can help repair damaged relationships and foster a deeper sense of understanding and compassion. 4. Personal growth: The act of forgiveness requires self-reflection and a willingness to let go of negative emotions, which can lead to personal growth and self-awareness.   The Path to Forgiveness Forgiveness is a journey, and it may take time and effort to reach a place of true forgiveness. Here are some steps you can take to embark on this path:   1. Acknowledge your feelings: Recognize and validate your emotions, whether it's anger, hurt, or sadness. Suppressing these feelings will only prolong the resentment. 2. Practice empathy: Try to understand the other person's perspective, even if you don't agree with their actions. This can help you gain insight and move towards forgiveness. 3. Let go of expectations: Release the idea that the other person will apologize or make amends. Forgiveness is a personal choice, and it's not dependent on the actions of others. 4. Focus on self-care: Engage in activities that promote your well-being, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Taking care of yourself can help you cultivate a more positive mindset. 5. Seek support: If you're struggling with forgiveness, consider seeking the guidance of a therapist, counselor, or trusted friend who can provide a listening ear and valuable insights.   Forgiveness is a powerful act of self-love and personal growth. By letting go of resentment, you create space for joy, peace, and fulfillment in your life. Embrace the path to forgiveness, and experience the freedom that comes with releasing the burdens of the past.

Learning to let go of these thoughts and embrace positivity is crucial for a balanced and fulfilling life. Here, we'll explore the art of letting go and provide practical steps to help you release negativity and welcome positivity into your life.   Understanding the Power of Letting Go Letting go is not about forgetting or ignoring problems but about accepting situations as they are and choosing not to be controlled by negative emotions. It's a conscious decision to focus on what you can control and release what you cannot.   Steps to Release Negative Thoughts 1. Acknowledge Your Thoughts:    The first step in letting go is acknowledging your negative thoughts without judgment. Recognize them for what they are—temporary and not a reflection of your true self. 2. Practice Mindfulness:    Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and observing your thoughts without attachment. Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or simply taking a few minutes to sit quietly can help center your mind and reduce the impact of negativity. 3. Challenge Negative Beliefs:    Often, negative thoughts stem from deep-seated beliefs that may not be true. Question these beliefs. Ask yourself if they are based on facts or assumptions. Reframing your thoughts can provide a more balanced perspective. 4. Cultivate Gratitude:    Gratitude shifts your focus from what is lacking to what is abundant in your life. Make it a habit to write down a few things you are grateful for each day. This simple practice can significantly boost your mood and outlook. 5. Surround Yourself with Positivity:    The people and environment around you can greatly influence your thoughts. Surround yourself with supportive, positive individuals and engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. 6. Let Go of Perfectionism:    Striving for perfection can lead to constant dissatisfaction and stress. Accept that making mistakes is part of the human experience. Embrace imperfection and view challenges as opportunities for growth. 7. Set Healthy Boundaries:    Learn to say no to situations or people that drain your energy. Setting boundaries is essential for maintaining your mental well-being and ensuring that you have the space to nurture positivity.   Embracing Positivity Once you have taken steps to release negative thoughts, it's important to actively cultivate positivity. Here are some ways to do that: 1. Engage in Positive Self-Talk:    Replace negative self-talk with affirmations and positive statements about yourself. Over time, this practice can help reshape your mindset. 2. Practice Acts of Kindness:    Helping others can boost your own happiness. Acts of kindness, no matter how small, can create a ripple effect of positivity. 3. Stay Active:    Physical activity is a great way to release endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Regular exercise can reduce stress and improve your overall mental health. 4. Pursue Your Passions:    Engaging in activities you love brings joy and fulfillment. Make time for hobbies and interests that make you feel alive and inspired. 5. Visualize Your Goals:    Visualization can be a powerful tool for manifesting positivity. Picture yourself achieving your goals and living the life you desire. This practice can motivate you and keep your focus on positive outcomes.   The art of letting go is a journey that requires patience and practice. By acknowledging your negative thoughts, challenging limiting beliefs, and cultivating habits that promote positivity, you can transform your mindset and embrace a more fulfilling life. Remember, positivity is a choice, and every moment offers a new opportunity to choose it. Let go of what no longer serves you, and welcome the abundance of positivity that life has to offer.

Whether it's due to work, personal issues, or unforeseen challenges, learning how to manage stress effectively is crucial for maintaining a healthy and positive mindset. Here's how you can stay calm and positive even in the most stressful situations.   1. Understanding Stress and Its Impact Stress is a natural response to perceived threats or challenges. It triggers a series of physiological responses, including the release of adrenaline and cortisol, which prepare the body to either fight or flee. While this response can be beneficial in short bursts, chronic stress can lead to negative health outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular problems.   2. Adopt a Positive Mindset Your mindset significantly influences how you perceive and respond to stress. Cultivating a positive mindset can transform how you handle challenging situations. Here are some ways to develop a positive outlook:   - Practice Gratitude: Regularly reflecting on things you are grateful for can shift your focus from what's going wrong to what's going right. - Positive Affirmations: Repeating positive affirmations can help reframe negative thoughts and boost your confidence. - Visualization: Imagine yourself successfully navigating stressful situations. Visualization can help reduce anxiety and prepare your mind for positive outcomes.   3. Effective Stress Management Techniques   A. Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for stress management. They help you stay present and focused, reducing the impact of stress on your mind and body. Try incorporating these practices into your daily routine:   - Breathing Exercises: Simple breathing exercises, such as deep breathing or the 4-7-8 technique, can help calm your mind and reduce stress. - Guided Meditation: Use apps or online resources to guide you through meditation sessions, which can help clear your mind and promote relaxation.   B. Physical Activity Regular physical activity is one of the most effective ways to manage stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Activities such as walking, jogging, yoga, and dancing can significantly reduce stress levels.   C. Time Management Effective time management can help you feel more in control and reduce the stress of feeling overwhelmed. Consider these tips:   - Prioritize Tasks: Focus on the most important tasks first. Use tools like to-do lists and planners to keep track of your responsibilities. - Break Tasks into Smaller Steps: Breaking tasks into manageable steps can make them feel less daunting and more achievable.   D.

About the Guest:Say hello to Bob Chapman, CEO of the internationally renowned Barry-Wehmiller, a machinery industry company with over 12,000 employees in over 100 countries. Bob's first title at the company was “Somebody He Could Trust”—meaning he was tasked with helping his father (the owner) make business decisions. But all did not go as planned. “I worked with my dad for six years, was put in the position of VP of finance, and I think it was October of '75, he had a severe heart attack and died. The next day I was president of the company at age thirty, and the first people I met were the bankers, who immediately pulled our loans.”Bob goes on to detail the many ups and downs of the company after his sudden rise to the top. He says he went from “phenomenal success to traumatic decline and then a phenomenal recovery.” And phenomenal it is. Today, Barry-Wehmiller is a $3.6 billion company. Bob attributes that to many factors, including his creative approaches, his tenacity in the face of crisis, and his focus on people as the main drivers of success. What You Will Learn:Strategies into how common sense, creativity, and a positive attitude can replace book smarts and accoladesInsights into why we need “leaders, coaches, and mentors,” not “managers, bosses, and supervisors.”Lessons in why it isn't enough to get people on the same bus; the bus needs to be able to support the people getting on itStories of the quick rise, epic fall, and monumental comeback of the Barry-Wehmiller CompanyJoin Joe Hart and Bob Chapman as they discuss weathering the ups and downs of business while always keeping people front and center. More than anything, Bob wants leaders to understand the importance and responsibility they have as business leaders to give employees a “grounded sense of hope,” meaning “they can decide to raise a child, buy a home, educate their kids, or save for their retirement. That is your fundamental responsibility.” Learn more about how to fulfill your responsibilities as a leader when you tune in to this insightful episode.

Read along to practice your English and to learn the English phrases BAD ATTITUDE and POSITIVE ATTITUDEIn this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English term bad attitude. If someone has a bad attitude, it means they think something's going to go badly before it even starts or even while it's happening. Here's a good example. Maybe you go to watch your favorite sports team, and as the game is starting, you say, ah, they're going to lose tonight because the best player is injured and the other team's too good. That's just a bad attitude. It's not a very positive way of thinking to just say, oh, we're going to lose because of that. It's best to wait and see. Sometimes students have a bad attitude. They might say, oh, I'm going to fail this class because the teacher doesn't like me and there's too much homework, and I don't feel like doing what I'm supposed to be doing. That's just a bad attitude. As you can tell, I don't like it when people have a bad attitude.WANT FREE ENGLISH LESSONS? GO TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH, "BOB THE CANADIAN"If you enjoy these lessons please consider supporting me at: http://www.patreon.com/bobthecanadianI like it when people are a little more positive when they have a positive attitude. Now, you might have thought, as I teach this phrase, as I teach the opposite, that I would say good attitude. And we do sometimes say that, that, oh, you should have a good attitude. But often, more often, we say a positive attitude. I'm not sure why we don't say negative attitude, but we usually encourage people to have a positive attitude. Even though the best player is injured, I still think my team is going to win tonight. I'm going to have a positive attitude. I'm going to think happy thoughts and good thoughts about my team. I was going to say something else about this good attitude. Positive attitude. There's another term. It's not coming to my mind right now. Maybe I'll think of it later.Anyways, to review a bad attitude would be to say something like this, oh, I don't know if I'm going to make an English lesson today. Hardly anyone's going to watch it. Maybe I'll just not do it. Bad attitude. But a positive attitude would be to think, you know, I'm going to make an English lesson today, and some people will watch it, and those people will hopefully learn a little bit of English.But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. It's in my back pocket here. Let me see if I can find it. The comment is from Emerson. Oh, it's from the last lesson isn't more or less outdated. So I taught the phrase more or less in the last lesson. And my response, not at all. Almost every phrase I choose for these lessons is from real life, and I heard someone use it just four days ago.So, no, not at all. In fact, I did a little bit of research. I'm not sure if you know what Google trends is, but Google trends kind of identifies the things people search for. And if you look in a moment, probably right now, there should be a graph on the screen for the phrase more or less, and you can see it's actually going up. Now, this doesn't mean people are actually using it when they talk. It simply means people do still search for that phrase, more or less. So, to me, that graph probably means that people are still using that term.And then Emerson as well, just so you know. Yes, I do. Listen as I go through my day and I try to hear people using phrases and or sometimes I observe behavior, and that helps me decide what I'm going to say or what I'm going to teach in the next lesson.So you might wonder, where did bad attitude and positive attitude come from? Well, I want to keep that a secret, but as you know, I'm a teacher. Sometimes I see students in my classroom, and sometimes they have a bad attitude, and sSupport the show

Navigating Stress and Anxiety in a Fast-Paced World | Guiding Lights Series Ep.41   Visit our sponsor today!   For more positivity, good news, and uplifting messages visit:  Thank you for listening! If you like, please subscribe for more!     Navigating Stress and Anxiety in a Fast-Paced World In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety have become common companions for many. The demands of work, family, and personal life can often feel overwhelming, leaving us feeling burnt out and anxious. However, there are ways to navigate these challenges and find a sense of calm amidst the chaos.   Firstly, it's important to recognize the signs of stress and anxiety. These can manifest in physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and muscle tension, as well as emotional symptoms like irritability, restlessness, and feelings of dread. By acknowledging these signs, you can take proactive steps to manage your stress levels.   One effective way to combat stress and anxiety is through mindfulness practices such as meditation and deep breathing exercises. These techniques can help you center yourself and regain a sense of calm when you're feeling overwhelmed. Even just a few minutes of mindfulness each day can make a significant difference in your overall stress levels.   Another important aspect of managing stress and anxiety is maintaining a healthy work-life balance. This means setting boundaries between work and personal life, and prioritizing activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, pursuing a hobby, or simply taking a walk in nature, making time for these activities can help reduce stress and improve your overall well-being.   Additionally, staying physically active can be a powerful antidote to stress and anxiety. Exercise has been shown to release endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators. Whether it's going for a run, practicing yoga, or hitting the gym, finding a form of exercise that you enjoy can be incredibly beneficial for your mental health.   Finally, don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're struggling to manage your stress and anxiety. A mental health professional can provide you with the tools and support you need to navigate these challenges effectively. Remember, it's okay to ask for help, and taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.   Navigating stress and anxiety in a fast-paced world is not easy, but it is possible. By practicing mindfulness, maintaining a healthy work-life balance, staying physically active, and seeking professional help when needed, you can take control of your stress levels and live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

The Joy of Giving: Acts of Kindness and Compassion | Guiding Lights Series Ep. 39   Visit our sponsor today!   For more positivity, good news, and uplifting messages visit:  Thank you for listening! If you like, please subscribe for more!   The Joy of Giving: Acts of Kindness and Compassion In a world often filled with hustle and bustle, taking a moment to pause and extend a hand of kindness can create a ripple effect of positivity. Acts of giving, no matter how small, have the power to brighten someone's day, lift spirits, and remind us of the goodness that exists in humanity.   The Impact of Kindness Research has shown that acts of kindness can have profound effects on both the giver and the receiver. When we engage in acts of kindness, our brains release oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone," which promotes feelings of love, bonding, and well-being. This not only boosts our mood but also strengthens our immune system and reduces stress levels.   Simple Ways to Give Back Giving back doesn't always require grand gestures or large donations. Sometimes, the simplest acts of kindness can make the biggest impact. Here are some ideas to spread kindness and compassion:   1. Volunteer: Offer your time to a local charity, food bank, or animal shelter. Your efforts can make a significant difference in the lives of those in need.   2. Donate: Clean out your closet and donate gently used clothing, books, or household items to those who could benefit from them.   3. Random Acts of Kindness: Pay for the coffee of the person behind you in line, leave a kind note for a colleague, or simply offer a smile to a stranger. These small gestures can go a long way in brightening someone's day.   4. Support a Cause: Whether it's through fundraising, raising awareness, or simply sharing information, supporting a cause you believe in can make a meaningful impact.   The Ripple Effect Kindness is contagious. When we engage in acts of giving, we inspire others to do the same. This creates a ripple effect, spreading kindness and compassion throughout our communities and beyond. By being mindful of the opportunities to give back, we can contribute to a more caring and empathetic world.   The joy of giving lies not only in the act itself but also in the positive impact it has on both the giver and the receiver. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simple acts of kindness, each of us has the power to make a difference in the lives of others. Let's embrace the joy of giving and spread kindness wherever we go.

Unplugging for Peace: How Disconnecting Can Reconnect You | Guiding Lights Ep. 38   Visit our sponsor!  or call them at 570-592-6258   For more positivity, good news, and uplifting messages visit:  Thank you for listening! If you like, please subscribe for more!     Unplugging for Peace: How Disconnecting Can Reconnect You In a world that's constantly connected, taking time to unplug can seem like a luxury. However, unplugging from technology and the digital world can have profound benefits for our mental and emotional well-being. In this blog, we'll explore the art of unplugging and how it can help you reconnect with yourself and find peace in a busy world.   The Digital Detox: Why It's Important Constant exposure to screens and digital devices can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and a sense of being constantly "on." Taking a break from technology allows your brain to rest and recharge, leading to improved focus, creativity, and overall mental health.   Reconnecting with Nature One of the best ways to unplug is to spend time in nature. Whether it's a hike in the mountains, a walk on the beach, or simply sitting in a park, nature has a way of grounding us and helping us reconnect with ourselves. The sights, sounds, and smells of nature can be incredibly soothing and can help reduce stress and anxiety.   Mindful Moments Unplugging also gives us the opportunity to be more mindful and present in our daily lives. When we're not constantly checking our phones or scrolling through social media, we can fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and appreciate the world around us.   Strengthening Relationships Unplugging can also help us strengthen our relationships with others. When we're not distracted by technology, we can focus on spending quality time with loved ones, having meaningful conversations, and creating lasting memories.   Tips for Unplugging      Set aside dedicated time each day to unplug, such as during meals or before bed.  Create tech-free zones in your home, such as the bedroom or dining room.  Engage in activities that don't require technology, such as reading, hiking, or gardening.  Use apps or tools that can help you limit your screen time and track your digital habits.     The Benefits of Unplugging      Reduced stress and anxiety  Improved focus and creativity  Better sleep quality  Stronger relationships  Increased mindfulness and presence       In a world that's always connected, taking time to unplug and disconnect can be a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and find peace in a busy world. Whether it's spending time in nature, engaging in mindful activities, or simply setting aside dedicated tech-free time each day, unplugging can have profound benefits for your mental and emotional well-being. So, why not take a break from your devices and see how unplugging can help you reconnect with yourself and find peace in your life.

Overcoming Limiting Beliefs for a Positive Mindset | Guiding Lights Series Ep. 36   Visit our sponsor today!   For more positivity, good news, and uplifting messages visit:  Thank you for listening! If you like, please subscribe for more!   Overcoming Limiting Beliefs for a Positive Mindset Breaking Barriers   In the journey of life, our beliefs shape our reality. Limiting beliefs, often ingrained in our minds from past experiences or external influences, can hold us back from reaching our full potential. These beliefs create barriers that hinder personal growth and success. However, with the right strategies and mindset, it is possible to overcome these limitations and cultivate a positive outlook on life. Here are some effective strategies to help you break free from limiting beliefs and foster a positive mindset:   1. Awareness and Identification: The first step in overcoming limiting beliefs is to become aware of them. Pay attention to your thoughts and notice any recurring patterns of self-doubt or negativity. Identify the beliefs that are holding you back and acknowledge their presence.   2. Challenge Your Beliefs: Once you have identified your limiting beliefs, challenge them. Ask yourself if these beliefs are based on facts or assumptions. Consider alternative perspectives and evidence that contradict these beliefs. This process can help you realize that your beliefs are not absolute truths.   3. Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive Affirmations: Replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements that can help reprogram your subconscious mind. Repeat affirmations such as "I am capable," "I am deserving of success," or "I believe in myself" to reinforce a positive mindset.   4. Practice Gratitude: Cultivate a mindset of gratitude by focusing on the positive aspects of your life. Keep a gratitude journal and write down things you are grateful for each day. This practice can help shift your focus from what you lack to what you have, fostering a more positive outlook.   5. Visualize Success: Visualization is a powerful tool for overcoming limiting beliefs. Create a clear mental image of yourself achieving your goals and living the life you desire. Visualizing success can help build confidence and belief in your abilities.   6. Seek Support: Surround yourself with positive and supportive individuals who believe in you. Share your goals and aspirations with them, and seek their encouragement and advice. A strong support system can help you stay motivated and overcome self-doubt.   7. Take Action: Overcoming limiting beliefs requires action. Break down your goals into smaller, manageable steps and take consistent action towards them. Celebrate your progress along the way, no matter how small, to reinforce a positive mindset.   8. Embrace Failure as a Learning Opportunity: Failure is a natural part of the journey towards success. Instead of seeing failure as a confirmation of your limiting beliefs, see it as a learning opportunity. Reflect on what you can learn from the experience and use it to grow stronger.   9. Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself as you work to overcome limiting beliefs. Treat yourself with the same compassion and understanding that you would offer to a friend facing similar challenges. Remember that it's okay to make mistakes and that you are worthy of self-love.   10. Seek Professional Help if Needed: If you find it challenging to overcome limiting beliefs on your own, consider seeking the help of a therapist or counselor. A mental health professional can provide you with the tools and support you need to develop a positive mindset.   By implementing these strategies into your daily life, you can gradually overcome limiting beliefs and cultivate a positive mindset. Remember that change takes time and effort, but with persistence and determination, you can break free from the barriers that hold you back and create a more fulfilling and successful life.

About Jackie Mott: Jackie Mott is a #1 International Bestselling author, powerhouse speaker, and Master Life Coach whose true brilliance lies in her ability to talk about difficult subjects using her own unique brand of wisdom, vulnerability, and humor, and she lives from her belief that “Life doesn't have to be so damn serious!” When Jackie's husband ended their 27-year relationship without warning, she was thrown into a tailspin. That conversation was her own personal “Ground Zero”. It was necessary to clear the rubble, learn who she truly was, and completely rebuild her life. In order to do that, Jackie had to challenge a lifetime's worth of conditioning and limiting beliefs and recreate herself from the ground up. The life she's created is more than she'd ever allowed herself to believe was possible, and now she supports others in doing the same.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Jackie shares her personal journey of going through a difficult divorce after a 27-year marriage. She describes the devastation and loss of identity she experienced, and how she had to completely rebuild her life from the ground up. Through this process, Jackie developed a deep understanding of the power of mindset and the importance of challenging limiting beliefs. Jackie explains the concept of the "subliminal soundtrack" - the unconscious messages and beliefs that play in the back of our minds. She discusses how these beliefs, even if inaccurate, can profoundly shape our experiences and circumstances. Jackie shares her technique of "dancing with your demons" - actively acknowledging and challenging these negative thought patterns in order to reprogram them. Jackie outlines three key mindsets that can keep people stuck:  the "lack mindset" the "lack of belief in self" and a poor sense of self-worth Jackie emphasizes that by shifting these core beliefs and adopting a mindset of possibility and self-compassion, people can unlock new opportunities and create the life they desire. Jackie also discusses her book "Believe All Things Are Possible'" which explores these mindset principles in depth. Lynne and Jackie wrap up the conversation, emphasizing the importance of shifting one's mindset and self-perception in order to overcome challenges and create a fulfilling life. They encourage listeners to believe in the possibility of positive change, even in the face of adversity.   Free Resource from Jackie Mott: 5 Steps to Create a Mindset Wired for Success:  https://www.jackiemott.com Grab Your Opportunity for a Free Call With Lynne
