Michael Kohan  Elevate Life Project:  Mindfulness | Spirituality | Success | Personal Growth Episode: Unleash Your Inner Drive: Finding Motivation in Tough Times Show Notes: Title: Unleash Your Inner Drive: Overcoming Demotivation and Finding Motivation in Tough Times Understanding Demotivation Feeling a lack of motivation is something everyone experiences at some point in their lives. It's that frustrating sensation where, despite having a clear direction or a list of goals, you can't seem to summon the energy to move forward. This isn't a reflection of laziness or a lack of care; it's simply a human experience, a natural fluctuation of motivation levels. Practical Steps to Reignite Motivation Set Clear Goals: Having clearly defined objectives provides direction and purpose. Without this clarity, energy stagnates, leading to that demotivated feeling. Stop Comparing Yourself: Comparing yourself to others, especially based on social media highlights, only breeds self-doubt and frustration. Focus on your own goals and progress. Embrace Mistakes: Mistakes are invaluable learning experiences. They are not deterrents but rather opportunities to grow and improve, helping you progress and regain motivation. Conclusion Navigating periods of low motivation is part of the human experience, but remaining stuck is optional. By clarifying your goals, avoiding detrimental comparisons, and embracing mistakes as learning opportunities, you can reignite your drive and move forward. Remember, the journey may be challenging, but viewing the bigger picture will help you recognize how close you are to achieving your dreams. #Motivation #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #OvercomingDemotivation #GoalSetting #SelfImprovement #MentalHealth #GrowthMindset #UnleashYourDrive #SuccessMindset #PositiveVibes #DailyMotivation #StopComparing #EmbraceFailure #YouGotThis

Resilience is often framed as pushing through, staying positive, and powering past challenges.But that version of resilience can backfire, especially for managers trying to support their teams. When leaders jump too quickly into problem-solving or positivity, they can unintentionally make people feel unheard, dismissed, or disconnected.Fortunately, this week's guest shares a more effective approach to building resilience, one that starts with acknowledging what people are actually experiencing and then guides them toward solutions.Jay Abbasi is a leadership coach and former executive who helps individuals and organizations develop resilience, improve performance, and lead through challenges with greater awareness and intention.In this conversation, we explore how to support resilience in others without falling into toxic positivity, practical coaching techniques that help people find their own solutions, and how to lead teams through difficult moments by creating space, trust, and honest dialogue.Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction(02:18) Rethinking resilience beyond “just pushing through.”(05:46) Why positivity can sometimes make things worse(09:12) The importance of acknowledging what people are experiencing(12:34) Coaching instead of fixing: helping others find their own solutions(16:08) Powerful coaching questions that shift perspective(19:27) Asking permission before giving advice(22:41) Creating psychological safety through active listening(26:15) Supporting individuals without becoming their therapist(29:38) Leading teams through uncertainty and difficult news(32:56) [Extended Episode Only] Supporting team resilience in real time(33:44) [Extended Episode Only] Why “I hear you” matters more than solutions(36:44) [Extended Episode Only] Coaching techniques to unlock better thinking(40:14) [Extended Episode Only] How to lead team conversations during tough moments

Todaywe are continuing to look at Philippians 1:12–18. Paul is talking about hiscircumstances here. Paul had other plans, no doubt, for what he thought Godwanted him to do. Yet the Holy Spirit of God had other plans for him. God hashim in prison for a purpose. We are talking about what happens when life doesnot go as we planned it. Yesterdaywe began telling the story about Joseph. Joseph was thrown into a pit by hisbrothers. Then he went to Potiphar's house in Egypt as a slave. Then he endedup in a prison in Egypt. But the next thing you know, God reveals and unveilsthe vision that Joseph had for himself. He becomes next to Pharaoh, ruler overall of Egypt, and saves not only the land of Egypt from a great famine but alsohis family. Nowwe are looking at Philippians 1:12, where Paul says, “But I want you toknow, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned outfor the furtherance of the gospel.” Paul is in prison. He is in chains. Heis chained between guards, but there he has the opportunity to share the goodnews of Jesus Christ. So even in our setbacks, even in our disappointments,even in situations we never would choose, God is working. God can use it allfor His glory to bring about the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Anothergreat story after the book of Genesis is in Exodus—the story of Moses. Moses,when he is 40 years old and has been trained in all the arts and military waysof the Egyptians, thinks he is going to deliver the people of Israel. Thishappens some 400 years, after Joseph and Moses now is going to deliver them. Hestarts that process and kills an Egyptian. Then he ends up running for hislife. For the next 40 years of his life he lives in a desert. He thought Godwas going to use him earlier. He had all the equipment. He had all theknowledge. He had all the background—everything. Yet God wanted to put him outthere in a desert, watching smelly sheep. Moses would have never planned that.But God had a plan in preparing Moses to become the great leader of the nationof Israel, to bring them out of bondage, to be their deliverer, to take them tothe promised land, and to lead them for the next 40 years through thewilderness. Ohmy friend, it is awesome how God works in our lives through the strangestsituations and circumstances that we would never choose. Thenyou think of David—little David, maybe 12 or 13 years old—out playing his harpon a hillside, praising God, worshiping, and getting to know Him. He is lookingat creation, watching God's sheep, and thinking, “Man, it is awesome takingcare of these sheep.” He begins to dream about what God might want to use himfor. He ends up being anointed king by Samuel when he was around 15 years old.He has no idea what that means, but wow, something good is happening. The nextthing you know, he kills Goliath, and everybody is excited about David. Butthen Saul gets jealous. For the next 12 to 15 years, David is fleeing for hislife—something he would never choose. But he gathers a band of men to followhim. He begins to learn how to trust God as his life is at risk every day. Godis preparing him to be the great King David of Israel for the next 40 yearsafter he becomes king at 30 years of age. Sometimesthings happen that we think are bad, but God is preparing us. God is working inour lives. So do not throw in the towel. Do not quit. Keep on keeping on. Godwill continue to do something that will amaze you. Paul says, “Here I am inprison, but it has turned out for the furtherance of the gospel.” We will talkmore about that in the next few days. Today,think about what God might be doing in your life today, despite yourcircumstances.

Today we're talking about what it really means to thrive in a world that often feels overwhelming—for our kids and for us. My guest is Stephanie Malia Krauss, author, speaker, and strategist whose new book How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World explores the urgent need to protect the human essentials—things like sleep, play, connection, and wonder—that modern life so often erodes. Stephanie and I explore the idea of “rehumaning” how we live, learn, and parent. We talk about the interconnectedness of body, mind, heart, and spirit, and the importance of collective care in raising kids in today's world. Stephanie shares practical, grounded ways to navigate overwhelm and make small shifts in daily life that can help families move from merely surviving to truly thriving.   About Stephanie Malia Krauss Stephanie Malia Krauss is an author, speaker, and strategist helping leaders rehuman how we live, learn, and work. Her newest book, How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World, examines the urgent need to protect the human essentials—like sleep, play, connection, and wonder—that modern life diminishes or denies. Stephanie's commitment to this work began as a teacher and coach, where she witnessed how different environments can deplete or restore people. She later founded a school for young people furthest from opportunity, and now leads national and state efforts in education and youth development. Working with leaders from classrooms to Congress, Stephanie advises states, districts, and national organizations through her consulting shop, First Quarter Strategies. Stephanie is also the author of Whole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Lives, Learn, and Thrive and Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World. Things you'll learn from this episode  Why collective care and community are essential antidotes to modern overwhelm and burnout How the practice of rehumaning helps us reconnect with our core human needs Why honoring the interconnectedness of body, mind, heart, and spirit is key to real resilience How small, intentional shifts in daily rhythms can meaningfully improve family well-being Why thriving means living in full animation—rooted in love, belonging, and advocacy—not just enduring   Resources mentioned How We Thrive: Caring for Kids and Ourselves in a Changing World by Stephanie Malia Krauss Rehumaning Childhood (Stephanie's Substack) Rehumaning website Geoffrey Cohen on Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides (Stanford Digital Education) Stephanie Malia Krauss' website Whole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive by Stephanie Malia Krauss Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World by Stephanie Malia Krauss Whole Child, Whole Life website How We Can Prepare Differently Wired Children for an Uncharted Future, with Stephanie Malia Krauss (Tilt Parenting Podcast) How to Help Our Kids Thrive in Tough Times, with Stephanie Malia Krauss (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World by Stephanie Krauss Dr. Eric Soto-Shed (Harvard researcher) Learn more about your ad choices.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a great post this morning from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) who fit into my Motivation Monday Game Plan message just perfectly - “You can and will get through hard things. ~ You got this! We are stronger than we think we are. Let's make this our Monday motivation!”  I love this reminder! I needed this reminder! Hope you do too. I need to keep feeding into my self-belief about how to keep going to get through tough things. Tough things happen to everyone. It's one of the main parts of being a human being. There is also this reminder that we can get through them with the right mindset, the connection to our purpose and having great people around us too. I hope this helps you everyday and not just Monday. Remember, motivation is an inside job. Attach it to the meaningful things in your life, and it will be a bit easier to get through the tough times.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

There are seasons when strength feels thin and tears fall faster than we can hold them back. In those moments, it can feel like we’re barely surviving the weight of what we’re carrying. Yet Psalm 34 reminds us of a powerful truth: the Lord hears the cries of the righteous, stays close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Sometimes we wish God would instantly remove the hardship. We know He has the power to do it. But often, He doesn’t. Not because He is distant—but because He is deeply invested in a greater good we cannot yet see. Jesus does not stand far off while we struggle. He draws near. He sees every tear. He understands every ache. His compassion is not theoretical; it is personal. He is present in the sorrow, strengthening us step by step. Hard seasons are not wasted seasons. Even when circumstances don’t feel good, God promises to work them for good for those who love Him. His plan is redemptive. His love is steady. His presence is constant. If you are fighting through something heavy today, remember: you are not fighting alone. The Lord is close. He is holding you. And He is leading you toward something more beautiful than you can yet imagine. Main Takeaways God hears your cries and stays close when you are brokenhearted. Jesus feels compassion for your pain and walks with you through it. Not all hardship is removed immediately, but none of it is wasted. God is working redemption even when you cannot see it. You can find fortitude by leaning on His presence and promises. Today's Bible Reading:The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:17-18) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me remember how much You love me and that right where I am is part of Your good plan.” Listen to the full prayer here.
