Fire In Your Lantern

(Note: this episode has a few sound issues. We apologize and will be changing microphones!) The older you get, and the more habits you reinforce, the more your brain "lives in the past." In fact, you may be slowly turning into a fossilized version of your past, and this is why you struggle to create new realities and address current problems. We discuss why this happens and how to change your brain.

Fear stops us from living our best lives, and taking the risks that would make our lives amazing. What if we told you that EVERYONE has fear, even highly successful people, and that they just handle fear in a different, helpful way? In this episode, we explain how to handle your fear by feeling it and doing what you want anyway (shout out to author Susan Jeffers who inspired much of this episode)

Once we embrace negative labels, it's so easy to live up to them and see ourselves that way. But, these labels limit us and reinforce negative feedback loops in our lives. Here's how to stop living the negative label you gave yourself, or somebody gave you.

Our attention is one of the most powerful tools we have as humans. Most of us are directing our attention and giving our time to people and things that keep us stuck, rather than towards things that help us become our best selves. In this episode, we discuss changing your awareness and finding new ways of paying attention and directing your energy.

Research shows adults are lonelier than at any time in recent history, and maybe this resonates with you. Making friends can be a challenge, especially as many of us have limiting attitudes about how and where we can meet people. In this episode, we explore proven ways to meet new people in any setting, and how to open a conversation, build rapport, and continue the connection by getting contact information naturally.

Are you a "people pleaser?" If you constantly seek the approval of others, it can lead to many problems, including feeling inauthentic and causing resentment. In this episode, we discuss why "people-pleasing" is natural (especially if you have been criticized a lot in the past), but ultimately dishonest and prevents you from reaching your potential.

Positive affirmations, if used properly (we explain that), can help you rewire your brain from all the negative and limiting beliefs you have developed over the years.

When you're in "survival mode" you just have enough energy and attention to get by, and this is how you get stuck in ruts. We discuss the ways you may be in this mode without even knowing it, and how to get into a mode of creation and thriving.

It's often easier to ignore big problems in the moment (whether it's toxic people, bad relationships, etc) than deal with them. But, the more we do this, the more they just grow and grow. However, the more we rise to the occasion to handle difficult problems now, the easier life becomes later. To sign up for info on our free events: https://bennetttwins.mykajabi.com/freeevents
