Have you made any excuses lately?I'm too tired.I'll do it later.I don't have time right now.We've all done it.This week, on Episode #178 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we're talking about self-talk, self-care, and the excuses we all make … something that feels especially real this time of year.You know the feeling — the days get shorter, our energy dips, the to-do list grows, and suddenly everything feels a little heavier. And in the middle of all that, our excuses start popping up… sometimes loud, sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly reasonable.Instead of shaming ourselves for our excuses, start seeing them as messages. Are we actually avoiding something, or are we genuinely tired? Is it really about time… or is it about energy?We also get into how our self-talk shapes those moments — that inner voice that pushes us one minute and pampers us the next. When we slow down and really listen to it, things start to make more sense and feel less like a battle with ourselves.So, notice your self-talk, listen to your excuses with curiosity, and let self-care be a steady rhythm — not another task. Being present with yourself is enough.Lorrie xoxoxOn this episode:FREE Fit, Fearless & Fabulous Holiday Planning Guide: Find it hereLoving the show? Let's connect!

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: Longevity in golf—and life—comes from perspective, self-compassion, and gratitude. Be your own best friend. The relationship you have with yourself defines performance. Talk to yourself like someone you care about: first person, not third person. Focus on intermediate goals to avoid burnout and stay emotionally steady. Failure is a teacher, not a threat—learn, adapt, and build resilience. Honesty is the foundation of growth; surround yourself with people who tell you the truth. Process beats pressure: control what you can, trust what you've practiced. Breathing and a consistent pre-shot routine are your anchors under stress. Tournament golfers don't make excuses—they take ownership and stay adaptable. Gratitude keeps you grounded. "If you don't have gratitude, you're not paying attention." Key Quotes: "It's not what you say to everyone else—it's what you whisper to yourself. "The longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself. Be your own best friend." "Most success stories are built on overwhelming amounts of failure." "Winning is affirmation—but it's short-lived. The real victory is showing up again tomorrow." "Don't worry about it. Nobody really cares that much." "Tournament golfers don't believe in bad breaks—they just play the next shot."

In this episode, I sit down with my mother, for a warm and thought-provoking conversation. We talk about the joy of community celebrations during Yantif and the importance of maintaining positive self-talk. Together, we explore how to navigate negativity and turn bad habits into opportunities for growth. We also discuss how school systems can affect individuality and self-expression. At its heart, this episode is about building resilience, fostering positivity, and staying true to oneself.
During uncertain times, many people are overcome by negative emotions. Fear, anxiety, doubt... these all creep into our minds multiple times throughout the day.Even when the pandemic eases, a lot of individuals struggle with negative self-talk -- which can have a severe impact on one's mental health.Shad Helmstetter, PhD, is the founder of the Self Talk Institute, joins Dr. Friedman to explain how to most of our negative thinking has been programmed from birth, and how to reverse those thoughts and essentially erase a negative mentality. Listen in to learn how you can make positive, life-changing transformations.
Some theological perspectives can be dangerous. A theology is present in many mainstream churches that poses risks. It is not necessarily what these churches teach directly, but rather what they choose to overlook or condemn. This crucial episode of Self Talk with Dr. Ray Self highlights this issue and what we should be aware of. 1Co 2:4 -5 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

ABOUT THIS EPISODEEver wonder why certain seasons of your life feel light, aligned, and overflowing with blessings—while others feel like a storm you didn't sign up for? The truth is, Queen, you're the climate-keeper.In this episode of Confident & Empowered Women, I'm getting real about energetic minimums and maximums—those sacred standards that protect your peace, power, and purpose. We're done outsourcing our energy to people who drain us or situations that disrupt our flow.

From self-talk to self-trust, you'll learn how to regulate your energy, reinforce your worth, and rebuild your life climate so everything around you reflects your inner alignment.Press play when you're ready to stop lowering your energy to meet the room—and start raising the room to meet you.KEY TAKEAWAYSYour energy sets the forecast. What you allow becomes the weather you live in—choose sunshine, not storms.Boundaries aren't barriers—they're climate control. They keep your peace at a premium and your purpose protected.Self-honor equals self-trust. Every time you keep a promise to yourself, you reinforce the energy you want to attract.Raise your energetic rent.

This Magic Monday, we explore the power of your inner narrator - that subtle voice shaping the story of who you believe you are.Through the lens of both psychology and spirituality, I unpack how this inner storyteller is formed, why your brain clings to familiar stories (hello, narrative identity & confirmation bias), and how neuroplasticity allows you to rewire your self-talk one thought at a time.With gentle psychology, soulful reframing, and moonlit reflection, this episode reminds you that you're not just the character - you're the author. And it's time to choose a kinder tone.

Send Dr. Li a text here. Please leave your email address if you would like a reply, thanks.Dr. Christine Li welcomes her friend and colleague Laurie Reynoldson, host of the School of Midlife podcast and a leader in supporting women through midlife transitions. Together, they dive deep into the topic of limiting beliefs—those internal barriers that hold women back from creating their best, most fulfilling lives. Laurie Reynoldson is a sought-after podcaster, coach, speaker and the founder of the School of Midlife®. After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she'd worked her entire career to land. She knows exactly what it feels like to have everything you've ever thought you always wanted in life, but still feel like something is missing. Which is why she's made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.Timestamps:00:03:40 – Limiting beliefs in midlife00:04:46 – Retreat story & best life00:10:23 – Internal editor, handling negativity00:13:43 – Building belief, validation00:15:16 – Power of community00:17:24 – Laurie's career backstory00:24:29 – Courage & happiness00:29:08 – Happiness & fulfillment00:30:11 – Where to find LaurieTo get Laurie's secret podcast and other free resources, go to: https://schoolofmidlife.com/starthereTo register for Dr. Li's next Re-Energize Your Home Challenge to declutter your home, go to https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/challengeTo sign up for the Waitlist for the Simply Productive Program, go to https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/SPFor more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit: https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comGain Access to Dr. Christine Li's Free Resource Library -- 12 downloadable tools and templates to help you bypass the impulse to procrastinate: https://procrastinationcoach.mykajabi.com/freelibraryTo work with Dr. Li on a weekly basis in her coaching and accountability program, register for The Success Lab here: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com/labConnect with Us!Dr. Christine LiWebsite: https://www.procrastinationcoach.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@procrastinationcoachThe Success Lab: https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/lab Laurie ReynoldsonWebsite: https://www.schoolofmidlife.comPodcast: https://www.schoolofmidlife.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/schoolofmidlifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-reynoldson-b28b921a/
In this crucial episode of Self Talk, Dr. Ray warns listeners to beware of a church or denomination that teaches the gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as prophecy, tongues, and healing, are no longer valid for today. This teaching distorts scripture, forcing it to align with preconceived ideas, and it's perilous. It can even border on blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. 2Pe 2:1 But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) affects an estimated 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S. — yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed mental health conditions. Too often portrayed as a “quirk” or a preference for cleanliness, OCD is actually a complex and often debilitating disorder rooted in anxiety and doubt. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Patrick McGrath, Chief Clinical Officer at NOCD, for a candid, deeply practical conversation about what OCD really is, how it shows up (far beyond stereotypes), and what actually helps. We dig into the “OCD × news cycle” spiral, break down flavors/subtypes and internal compulsions, and get specific about Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): what it looks like, why the response prevention part matters most, and how to know if you're getting the right care. You'll also hear how to find a qualified clinician, what treatment “afters” feel like, and the empowering mindset of living the life you want — not the one OCD dictates. IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT... The OCD–news cycle Venn diagram: why constant headlines can supercharge doubt and rumination What OCD actually is (and isn't) and why logic alone won't cut it Flavors, subtypes, and themes plus how themes can “double scoop.” ERP in real life: the safety behaviors to drop, and why response prevention is the unlock Getting help + what recovery feels like: how to vet specialists, levels of care, virtual options/insurance, and building a supportive “mental-health team” for long-term wins and more!

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Mayor Teresa Thomas-Smith shares a direct, practical lens on leadership: your inner voice sets the ceiling for your strategy, culture, and impact. We dig into stripping away the “best self” mask, why vulnerability is a leadership asset (not a weakness), and simple practices to rewrite self-talk so results shift—at work and at home. Expect grounded examples, a real story of reframing under pressure, and clear steps to build an authentic, values-led leadership presence. Search-friendly themes: leadership mindset, authentic leadership, inner narrative, self-talk, mental fitness for leaders, emotional resilience, boundaries, trauma-informed growth. About the Guest : Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first African American and first female Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. A global speaker and transformational strategist, she champions “lead her ship”—leading from essence, not titles—through radical authenticity, compassion, and practical inner work. Key Takeaways: Authenticity is whole-self leadership: stop performing a “best self” and lead as a full human so others feel safe to do the same. Self-talk is the foundation: strategy and skills are only as strong as the inner voice driving them. Name the ego, don't obey it: acknowledge the loud, critical voice and consciously choose the truer one. Give yourself grace: change happens “right now,” one choice at a time—especially when you feel stuck. Write your story: put the desired outcome on paper; clarity + intention reduce fear and organize action. Release what no longer serves: notice old vows, roles, or narratives and consciously let them go. Your energy leads the room: remembered essence creates lightness, connection, and trust in teams. Practical starter: when negative self-talk spikes, pause, name it, thank it for trying to protect you, and release it; then speak a truer sentence aloud.

A popular outdoor brand somehow thought it was a good idea to set off an elaborate, polluting firework display and we are not impressed. We learn why doofuses are strapping iPads to tortoise backs. Sarah explains what "distance self-talk" is and why it can be helpful or hurtful depending on how you use it. We talk about a "very haunted" hotel that has very strict rules about pranks, and since Susie hates pranks, she's on board. We debate the "correct" way to cut food and we learn why Susie is stressed about doing it wrong. Susie explains her rubric for what makes a one-hit-wonder, and hear why a lot of people are very sensitive when they learn an artist they happen to like only had one hit (we're looking at you Oasis fans). Plus, there's a college football program that is known for taking ridiculous player photos, and their new coach put a stop to it. Susie and Sarah disagree about whether the coach did the right thing...Brain Candy Podcast Presents: Susie & Sarah's SpOoOoOoOoktacular Spectacle, October 30, Oriental Theater, Denver, Colorado: Get your tickets!
