This summer, I’m sharing five powerful life lessons I’ve learned since graduating high school. So join me as I discuss the importance of adopting appreciation over expectation, choosing faith over fear, managing self-talk, directing focus to cultivate positive energy, practicing radical self-belief, and find out how they can shape and enhance your personal and professional life, too. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why learning to appreciate the moment rather than being disappointed that an experience is not as you expected can lead to a happier life and a more positive outlook How having faith can empower you and open up new opportunities The power of self-talk and the impact it has on daily decisions and overall well-being Where focus goes, energy grows, and how shifting focus leads to a more positive mindset The importance of radical self-belief – and why you should remember that everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time! Choose Faith Over Fear On the show, I discuss how the acronym F.E.A.R. (False Expectations Appearing Real) reminds us of the illusion fear often creates and how it inhibits progress. Fear can disguise itself as being cautious, strategic, or deliberate. But it is a roadblock, and once you move through it, you’re opening yourself up to so many more opportunities. I want to remind you to have faith in your decisions. When you choose faith over fear, you trust yourself and those around you to make the best decisions possible, which I know will make you feel happier and more confident. Where Focus Goes, Energy Grows The adage “where focus goes, energy grows” serves as a guiding principle for personal and professional endeavors, and I’m reflecting on redirecting attention from negative to positive stimuli and the impact of intentional focus. On the show, I also share why you should practice radical self-belief. You must believe in yourself at all costs because when you believe in yourself, your decisions in life and your ability to achieve your dreams will become so much easier. Although there may be times when you feel like an imposter or like you don’t belong when you start to feel that way, remind yourself that everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time! Believe in yourself, and you can achieve your dreams.
