At the heart of any change you want to see is an originating thought that sets an idea you have into motion.

There’s a common misbelief we have about how to approach our workday: in order to be productive, we constantly have to be in a state of stress. But it turns out that in many ways that belief is backwards. When we’re able to identify the root of our stress and strip it away, and when we stop equating stress with productivity, that’s actually when we’re able to do our best work. In this episode we’ll talk about a 4-step process for how to do it.

At any given point in time, you can only keep a single thought in your mind. Unfortunately, many of the thoughts that occupy that single, very valuable piece of real estate are the kind that don’t suit us.  But the good news is that we always have the ability to make choices about how we think, and we can always choose to create space for newer and better thoughts. In this episode we’ll talk about how to do it.

One of ways you can strengthen your workday mindset and show up at your best for everyone around you is to start your day with a routine that prioritizes you first. In this episode we talk about how to create one.

It’s very easy for us to think that the best way to help the people around us is to move through our day always putting others first. But if you really want to show up at your best for everyone in your life, and if you want to be the best version of yourself, you should start everyday focused on you.  In this episode we’ll talk about why.

When we’re looking for ideas or guidance on how to move forward with our career, we can very easily slow our own growth or talk ourselves out of pursuing a career path because we feel like we don’t have what it takes to do it the “right way.”  But when it comes to your career and your work, there really is no right way to do it, there’s just your way.  In this episode we’ll talk about how to prevent letting that kind of limiting mindset get in your way.

If we’re not paying close attention to our mindset, we can walk around for a good portion of the day doing what I call operating at a deficit. In this episode, we cover some simple ways to flip that mindset by changing the way you enter and exit your workday.

We’ve been told all our lives that we have to suffer at work to get ahead. But it turns out that we don’t need to suffer in order to make meaningful progress.  In this episode, we talk about how making room for work we enjoy helps unlock who we are as a person and a professional.

There are opportunities all around us during our workday, but we miss them because we’re not aware that they exist. It turns out there’s a very simple way we can unlock access to those opportunities: changing the way we approach our conversations with other people.  In this episode, we discuss how simply expressing an intention, talking about what you want, or asking for help can have an incredible impact on your professional and personal development.

No matter what happens throughout a workday, we always have the ability to choose to start our day over anytime, and as many times as we want. In this episode we’ll discuss how easy it is to fall into the trap of labeling a workday as “bad”, and how we can start our day over simply by adjusting our mindset.

Changing the way we think is the catalyst for changing the way we act, so in this episode I want to introduce you to a simple concept that will put you on a path toward a better workday mindset.
