Learning the process of figuring out problems
May 6, 2018

What are the steps you need to take to figure out the challenges that come into your life? Is there a process?

Would you know what questions to ask if someone you know shared that they were going through some challenges?

Join Matthew Bivens and I as we talk about our process of discovering issues and how to dig down through the layers.

How To Make Better Decisions To Get The Outcomes You Want

Leave a Comment

If your life is filled with stress and an overall sense of unhappiness, you may be unknowingly making decisions that are hurting you in ways that you don’t even realize.

Picture a funnel for a moment. A funnel can be a great visualization of what happens when you make a decision. The stem (the small opening) represents the choice you have before you. The mouth (the wide part) represents the outcomes that manifest because of those choices.

I like that visualization because a choice stems from a thought that leads to an action that could lead to massive change in your life. Your choice “funnels” out into the world, affecting you and everything in it sometimes.

When you feel unlovable and unworthy
April 15, 2018

If you’ve ever come out of a relationship feeling unlovable and unworthy, it’s time to consider the source of this false belief and how you are sabotaging yourself for future relationships.

Also, I read an email about conditional versus unconditional love and just what makes up love anyway.

Losing love and the general lies we tell ourselves
November 19, 2017

There’s a great lie many of us use throughout life called a quantifier.

A quantifier indicates the quantity of something. Anytime you insert quantifiers in a statement about what you can or can’t do, you may inadvertently limit your capacity to succeed.

Here are some examples:

“Everyone knows that won’t work” 
“He is always mad at me” 
“I can’t do that because no one would like it” [Read more…]

The life decision you regret – Never find true love again – Do you value yourself
April 1, 2018

In this episode, I talk about that one decision you regret not having made that could have changed your entire life for the better… or would it have been worse?

In segment two, what do you do when you lose the love of your life and realize you will never be happy again? Can you recover from losing “the one”?

In segment three, what filters do you wear that show you a world that isn’t really there? Are those filters serving you?
