In today's episode of the Mindset for Life podcast, we focus on how you can notice messengers in your life. Doing this helps you feel more motivated, adds encouragement, and lifts you. And, on the flip side, you can be a messenger to others by sharing your ideas, who you are, and your light.Have you ever had a thought of just feeling like you needed a push in the right direction?Maybe you wanted to start something new, or do a project, or take a risk, or even try a new direction in your life or your work, or something like that. And you're thinking about it, and you have all these ideas. But for some reason, you just aren't taking the action you want to take. Or maybe you're trying it occasionally. And it's just really hard for you to be consistent. I can definitely relate to this.I think we all have these ideas and dreams of things we'd like to go out and try. I certainly have a lot of mine, especially with my coaching business. You know I have a podcast because you're here listening to it. I also have coaching programs and one-on-one coaching that I do with people. And then I have my full-time job in the daytime. That is my career position that takes the bulk of my energy, focus, and time.There are so many options in all these areas. And, just like you, I might have some idea, and then I might take some action and then might backup a little bit, and then take some more action. And then maybe I'm going to go in a different direction altogether. But whatever it is, a lot of times, I will just spin in this little cycle of trying things out and then feeling stuck. Well, sometimes you may be doing the same thing.And we have these experiences where people step into our lives that--maybe we know these people, maybe there's somebody we don't know--but they speak to us. And it's like there are messengers passing in and out of our lives. And they bring us some kind of message that can motivate us to just keep going a little more.Notice messengers in your life.It's like taking a step out of the light that you're in into a little bit of the unknown, or a little bit of the darkness, until you get a little bit more willing to try something.And then another messenger or message will come into your life. And you'll be encouraged to take just another little step and maybe do something more. I had one of those experiences in my life recently.There was a colleague of mine that I used to work with at the university, whom I really loved. This person is brilliantly intelligent, and always encourages good ideas, good projects. This person was one of the best people to motivate me to try new research and publish some things. And even writing the book that I wrote a few years back was motivated from the encouragement this person gave me. And then slowly over time, we spoke on the phone less and less, we got together face to face less and less. And at this point, it's been many, many months since I spoke with this colleague of mine. He's retired now we don't work together anymore.Just the other day I started thinking about him. I thought I should call Dr. Bill. And my son, my oldest son who's 25, we were together Sunday for dinner. The whole family was there. And I was talking about something and out of the blue. He said, "Hey, when's the last time you talked to Dr. Bill? Don't you think you should call him?"I thought that was really strange. Just this week, I was thinking I should call Dr. Bill. I didn't do it yet. A few more days passed. And then yesterday, who called me? Dr. Bill called me. And it was like, in my mind, there was this message that kept coming to me: You need to talk to Dr. Bill. And when I finally did because he reached out to me, I just hadn't done it yet, it was absolutely motivating. He has a ray of light in his personality, that at all times just shines so brightly.He's having some challenges of his own in his own life, but he is so positive about them.
Thank you for joining me today! I know that if you are listening to this episode, you want to be lifted up. To feel amazing. And to keep brining in positive thoughts so that you can get through another day. You are unique, and you are wonderful. And even on the lower days when you’re not really sure, It’s absolutely true that there is no one in the world like you.You have a personality, gifts and talents, and strengths. And your own experiences and perspectives. We need you in the world today, and there are people in your life who need you. I’m pleased to be with you sharing ideas of strength and encouragement to help foster your mindset of hope today.So here is our topic: You matter, even if no one else tells you. You are significant. How will you let that fuel you every day?Let's Look Back to the Start of Our Business, in 2019.Back in December, 2019, I posted something on my DrBCoach Facebook page. And today, I looked back and saw it. It’s been 4 years since I officially started as an entrepreneur leading a coaching business, and this idea is one that I shared in those first few months of the business.So now, the rest of our episode, I’ll read some of that post to you from 2019.Earlier this week, I thought about "significance." Significance is your importance.I had a moment recently when I thought someone wasn't really a friend.For a day or two, it really bothered me. I let it get into my brain, and I started to feel insignificant.As I reflected, considered, and talked it out, I realized I was making myself feel that way.The other person wasn't really doing anything to me.I felt "less" because of the thoughts I had about the situation, not because of any reality.The truth was that I couldn't really know what the other person was thinking. And I can't control that, anyway.But I can know and control what I think.Have you ever felt a bit "less" because you believed someone else didn't really care?You are still you, no matter what other people think.Our thoughts about other's thoughts do not change our actual significance.I would like to propose a new idea....Perhaps significance is something WE think, and then feel, not what other people give us.Perhaps it is our perception of our own value.We control it and can think about it as "how we show up."Do you ever think that someone needs to pay attention to you, to make you feel significant?Or do you believe that perhaps you need "followers," or an audience to be significant?If we control our thoughts about whether or not we are significant, we can turn all of these doubting thoughts around and feel better.And when we feel better, we can be creative, energetic, loving, and bring positivity to life.What Steps Can You Take to Feel Significant?How to do it? List what you can do to feel your significance, without needing other people to reflect it back.Here are some things on my list: Show gratitude for other people in my life. Call someone I haven't spoken to in a while and visit over the phone. Visit a friend to cheer them. Send a note to someone I've been thinking about, to tell them something special I've noticed about them. Text a note of appreciation to someone I have learned from.What more can be added to this list?What activities can boost your thoughts about your significance without needing feedback from others?This week, think about it.You are important.You are significant.You don't need to hear it from others, it's already there.You have unique traits, worth, and value just by being you. And when you can think and feel your worth, you are able to use your wonderful traits even more.Here's to being the best YOU this week!This episode's theme song is “Sunshine Club,” by Ishan Dincer.

Hello there, my friend, welcome to the Mindset for Life Podcast. I'm glad you're here. And if you're here, that means you want to know something about mindset and what we're going to talk about today, the topic is self-compassion.Now normally, my podcast focuses on mindset, and typically we're talking about positive mindset. Like how to wake up happy, how to get out of bed excited in the morning, something like that. But today, we're going to talk about self-compassion. This is an interesting new concept for some people, so I hope you'll stay with me.Achievement, habits, routines, strategies, attitudes; these are all tools to be our best. To move forward, to achieve our goals, to do things that we never thought we could do. And they serve us well most of the time. But as you know, life is like the waves on a sandy beach; it actually ebbs and flows. The tide of our lives rolls in and out. Sometimes things are going very well. Sometimes we're succeeding. Our efforts will lead to those achievements and the changes that we want to have.And sometimes we experience the totally unexpected. Perhaps it is that something just didn't turn out the way we planned. Or there's an unexpected stall or interruption in our progress or our plans. And sometimes it's much more. Perhaps it's a permanent change, loss. There's grief and pain. We're not really sure what to do. How do we talk to ourselves in times like these?Over the past six months, I've had a lot of family things happening. About six months ago, my mother had a health change. And now she's at home in hospice care and everything is different. It's been a truly emotional time and not one that we anticipated or really wanted to welcome into our lives. I stayed overnight because mom's health was not good. Things were not looking great. And we just wanted to both be with her, so my sister and I were there. And I probably got about four hours asleep. I finally realized it was time to go home and to meet my husband, who was coming home from a motorcycling trip with some friends.He had a major motorcycle accident. The long story short is that we ended up going to the emergency room and found that he had broken eight ribs on the left side and bruised a lung. He'll have many more weeks of recovery right now.I put these two events together because one was unfolding over a long time and I was engaged in that. The other one came suddenly.And both events with my mother and my husband were things that none of us would have wanted in our lives. We wouldn't have invited the health challenge with our mother. And we would never have invited my husband to have a motorcycle accident. Both of these things present a lot of challenges, ongoing, and it would be easy to be self-critical of a lot of things. It would be easy to be self critical of like not measuring up to helping people, or I need to work harder. Why am I not getting enough done? Or something like that. There are a lot of thoughts that any of us in these situations could be having.And some of us have inner thoughts that are super unkind, like a mean, inner critical thought. We might give grace to everyone else if they were in a similar situation, but not to ourselves.We're not sure how to move through that experience.And we might forget things. We might struggle to achieve at the rate we used to, we have to keep going to work. We might take a few days off, and then we have to get back into the flow and go back to work. There's a lot going on with all of this.This idea of self-compassion is a really helpful antidote to all of the angsty feelings and the negative inner critic that might be coming in during situations like this, or even those feelings of deep despair that we're having. I'd like to give you a few tips. And then I'm going to talk a little bit more about self-compassion. So If you're going through it right now, through something hard, something really challenging or unexpected,
Does Anything Good Ever Happen to Me?Hey there, this is Bethanie, your coach. I'm so excited to be with you today!I want to talk with you about saboteurs in your brain, and it's an answer to a question that some people ask themselves all the time. Are you a person who ever wonders if anything good ever happens in your life?Why might it seem that after a good start, things eventually just don’t work out?I have noticed that more and more people I get to know and work with, and meet, have this thought. There are people all over the world who believe nothing good ever happens to them. That things just don't work out. When they get their hopes up, or when you get your hopes up, things get in the way. Someone will stop your progress, or someone will block your direction that you're trying to go.Whatever it is that seems to be getting in the way of your dreams, some of us have even stopped dreaming, or setting goals, or wanting to do anything new in the future.For you, I want to speak directly to you today with some experiences that I've had in working with some of my coaching clients.As a teacher, as an educator, I often get people in my classes who just want to learn something new. And they come, and they learn something new. In my younger professional life, it was that they would learn how to play a musical instrument. And then as I got older, and I moved into the online college world, it became music appreciation.And even then, when people would come to learn something musical, we never really got into the automatic thoughts that we have about ourselves. Sometimes, we cover them when we're talking about your study skills. Or how you can be a better student, or how you can take this knowledge and go out into the world and do something with it. But, it's in coaching other people that I have learned so many of us have these thoughts, believing that we are bad or that we are fundamentally flawed in some way.Or there's a reason that we don't get “picked” for things, or that people just don't like us, or maybe nothing good ever seems to really happen on its own. If it happens, it's luck.But if you're trying to make it happen, it's just not going to work out. I want to reach out to you today because I don't believe these thoughts are true.Here is an explanation about what gets in the way.In fact, over the last year, I came across a system of thinking called the Positive Intelligence operating system invented by a man named Shirzad Chamine, who was a Stanford student; and he had an experience that you might be able to relate to.He was interacting with some classmates in a group, and he learned that they did not like him. They didn't like the way he behaved. They thought he was arrogant, and they were really offended by the way he behaved.He had no idea.He actually did not realize the impact that he was having on other people. And then, when he got to the bottom of his thinking, his realization was that he had an inner mental “judge” that was criticizing him in his own mind, all the time.Have you ever noticed that happening in your own mind? We talk to ourselves all day long. Our brain is constantly talking to us. It's giving us suggestions, ideas, promptings.It's giving us inspiration, creativity, motivation, and it's giving us criticism, judgment, suspicion, fears, reasons, we should not try things. And, in some of us, that voice is exceptionally loud.We're going to call that your inner judge. And when you try something new, and maybe you make a mistake, that inner judge might say, “that was stupid... don't do that again.”Now, my inner judge doesn't exactly speak to me in those same words. But for a lot of people, that's exactly what the inner judge sounds like.If that's your experience, I want to point out that this voice inside your mind is not coming from your loving, rational mind. It is part of your brain that's looking to protect you.
Develop a Mindset to Know that You Have Enough TimeHey there, thank you for joining me on the Mindset for Life Podcast. I'm very, very excited about this particular episode, because time management is something that comes up a lot. Most people that I talk to, whether at work or when I'm coaching, or in my family life, talk about time.Time comes up over and over. If time were a person, its ears would be burning all day long, seriously, because we're just always talking about it. So today, we're going to talk about a mindset to know that you have enough time. I was really intrigued by this. In a book I read by Gay Hendricks, who wrote “The Big Leap,” if you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it, it's about the upper limit problem.Stretching our comfort zone, and our ability to achieve more success, feel more love, and feel more positive emotions in our life. Now we fight this.Why? Well, there are a lot of reasons why, that I'm not going to get into today. And I encourage you to listen to some of my other episodes of this podcast. Today, we're going to focus on how you can develop a mindset to know that you have enough time, you really do.And in my experience, it's all about your mindset. Once you have a mindset to believe that you're capable of something, that it's open to you, you can achieve anything, literally, that you put your mind to. You can really set the goals that you want to, and you can move forward. So today, we're going to talk about the feelings that we have about time. I'm going to share a lot of feelings that I have had about time in the past, and feelings that you might have about time.I'm going to challenge each one of these thoughts and going to encourage you to consider your own thoughts and feelings about time.Why do we think we don’t have enough time?Thoughts are ideas that we have. Feelings are emotions. So when I say we have feelings around time, I'm really talking about like, angst, anxiety, worry, regret, fear. A lot of those things, right? One of the biggest thoughts that we have around time is that we just don't have enough of it.Whenever you think about not having enough of something, what does that do for you?For me, when I think about not having enough, it starts me down the path of worry. Now, I'm not super familiar with the emotion of worry. My brain worries, I have a lot of thoughts around scarcity and worry, but I don't really notice the feeling of worry.Worry, feels kind of tight in the shoulders. It feels tight in my neck. It feels like I'm hunched over a lot, I really have to think about what that feels like. What does worry feel like to you?Do you like that? Well, when you're worried that you don't have enough time, that it's limited, that it's finite, you're probably thinking some of the thoughts that I have thought, and here they are.I have thought, “There are only 24 hours in this day, and only seven days a week. And no matter how carefully I plan, I just might not be able to get everything done. I need to plan wisely, or maximize the time.”I want to challenge this today, so I ask you, is it really true?Is it really true that time is limited, that It's finite?In his book, “The Big Leap,” Gay Hendricks talks about playing with time. Stretching time. Always having enough time. Have you ever met anyone like this, that seems to get a lot of things done that they care about? And you wonder, where did they find the time for all of that?They teach a college class.They teach coaching in the evenings.They go off and create a lot of art.They have time to go camping, go fix up their cabin.They're doing all of this in a state of ease and flow and feeling like it's all working together for them.To me, it sounds like a very busy schedule. I don't know how they're fitting it all in, because I'm thinking time is finite, it's limited. There are only 24 hours in a day, seven days a week.

Do You Dread Waking Up in the Morning?Hey there. This is Bethanie Hansen, your coach at the Mindset for Life podcast. And I asked you this question today to start off the podcast. This is the topic we're going to be talking about. And the question is, "Do you dread waking up in the morning?"Now that might seem like a really strange question to be asking you. But I'm Bethanie Hansen, known as "Dr. B," educator and coach. I help teachers, leaders, and coaches stop Sunday night dread and reclaim their power and purpose.I've discovered that leaders, teachers and coaches care about the people they lead and the direction they're headed. They care about their students, they care about their clients and their customers. Everybody wants to feel confident in their role and treat people with love and integrity, even when other people are very challenging to be with.I've been an educator and a coach for 28 years. And in my experience, sometimes it is hard to get up in the morning because of what's going to happen the next day. Somewhere in there, a sense of Sunday night dread creeps in. And we wish there might be a day off coming up.At the same time, we even feel guilty for thinking it.Well, what's helped me the most have been some of the tools, strategies and thought patterns that I now share with clients through education and professional coaching.These very same things helped me to wake up and to reduce my own stress levels, to improve my sense of overall well being, and to be able to move through tough challenges with greater purpose. Now, I don't feel "that" way anymore.Yesterday was a holiday. I got up, and I was so excited to be awake. I remember thinking, "I've got this whole, empty day. Nobody expects anything from me. I don't have to go to work. I get to do those things that have been on my list for weeks and weeks." I did some of those things. I cleaned the kitchen.I did the dishes, I wiped down all the counters. It had been a mess for quite some time. Not a super clean kitchen. Went over to my mother's house, planted some things. Cleaned up some pots in the backyard. Really, really enjoyed the day. It felt great, felt amazing, in fact. And then today, it was a day to go to work. I got to do some coaching this afternoon.I was looking forward to getting up. But at the same time, I wasn't. I remember waking up and laying in bed, and thinking, "Oh my goodness, do I have to get up this early? Why did I set my alarm for this hour?"As I thought about it, I contemplated just like pushing the snooze button. I thought I might roll over and just go back to sleep. Then, I remembered my husband asking me politely a couple of days ago not to press the student snooze button over and over again while he was still sleeping. Because I'm just going to keep waking him up, right?So as I'm thinking about staying in bed, I'm also thinking about how to be kind to my husband and thinking in the name of kindness to my husband, I'm going to be good to myself at the same time.And I'm going to get out of bed quickly. I'm going to shower, and I'm going to put some energy behind it. I'm going to really try to wake up with vigor. And I'm going to get excited about this day.That did not happen either. I got out of bed, I took the shower, I was still dragging. I just wasn't feeling that great. Then, I realized it was a sunny, beautiful day. And I rekindled that energy by taking a walk outside. That did it.That helped. I was energized. I was ready to go. I entered one of my meetings, one of my calls, and I was able to participate and get some work done. I was very excited about how the day started.Do you ever have a day like that where you get up and you start thinking about all the ways you could sleep in, just turn over, cover your head, reset the alarm and sleep a little bit longer? In fact, sometimes we have a whole arsenal of stories behind that, like why we deserve it,
How to Set GoalsHey there, welcome to the Mindset for Life podcast. This is Bethanie Hansen, your coach, and I'm here to talk to you about goal setting.When was the last time you set a goal? I mean, a clear goal, something achievable, measurable, attainable, something you really wanted to hit. I can remember having such a goal, I decided that I was going to lose a certain amount of weight.Now, those of you who have listened to my podcast a lot, you already know that I went on a weight loss journey, during which I lost 95 pounds successfully over the course of almost a year. And then, a couple years later, I was kind of vacillating around that last 10 pounds, and I decided, let's just move it forward. So I can say I actually lost 100 pounds. So I had to really lose about 10 or 15 pounds at the bottom, there.And then, I lost the five more and hit my ideal goal weight. I didn't have that goal in the beginning. In fact, I didn't really care what my end goal was, I had first decided on a goal that was about, oh, 65 pounds of weight loss, I really didn't think anything else was achievable. I didn't even think it was possible. Then when I got close to that 65 pound mark, I started to wonder if I could lose about 15, more, maybe 20. More, I was pretty excited about that. And ultimately, I learned that I could lose 20 More than that 25 more, until I really hit that 95 pound mark initially. Sometimes when we set a goal. And sometimes when we're working towards a goal, we really don't know what's possible for ourselves, what we're capable of, we don't know until we get started.So an initial goal could be something really attainable. Something that's not a huge stretch, but is aspirational for us. That 65 pound goal for me was definitely aspirational. It was a huge distance off in the dirt journey. And it took many, many months to achieve that first chunk of my goal. But once I attained that big goal, I started to see that there was another path ahead, I could also travel and another one.Perhaps in your goal setting you've had a similar experience, or you might in the future. When work goal setting, it's first difficult to decide what the goal should be, what is a reasonable achievement, that's going to take our time and effort that's going to inspire us and make us feel really great about a challenge. And it's going to be not so far off that we feel it's a totally unattainable goal. If I had been told, when I started that journey, that I should lose 100 pounds, I would have felt very devastated. I don't think I would have started, I would have been so discouraged because I had tried to lose weight for years, nothing worked. And I could at best lose 20 pounds maybe.So when I started on the journey where I really did lose 100 pounds, it took very small, achievable goals over time consistently practiced. And then when the achievement was reached, I had to keep going. First, I had to maintain the success of attaining the first milestone, and I had to get used to what it was like to live in that space. Then I had to keep going.So when we're talking about goals, a lot of people talk about smart goals. Specific, measurable, achievable, time bound. Oh, what else, and timely... something like that. When we're talking about smart goals, I think what we really mean to say is let's break it down into some steps.Let's break it down into some planning. Let's break it down into ways we can actually measure and see if you're on track to reaching the goal. Let's just say you have a professional goal.Perhaps you want to write a book, perhaps you want to make an advancement in your career in your leadership and your teaching or your coaching. Whatever it is you'd like to attain in your goals, pick one thing, one thing you're gonna go all in for. Something you actually care about that motivates you.Let's choose something pretty big, but not impossible. Like let's just say if you want to write a book,

10 Strategies: How to Change Your Mindset and Achieve Success This episode will share 10 strategies: How to change your mindset and achieve success. You might be wondering what mindset is. Or if it's even possible to change it. I've got you--We'll talk about a growth mindset, ways to try changing your thinking, and tips to be successful.
Welcome to the mindset for life podcast. This is Bethanie, your coach from DRBCOACH.COM. Here on the Mindset for Life podcast, we look at ideas that help you reclaim your power and purpose in life, relationships and work. This podcast is for you if you lead, teach, and serve others, you want things to get a little better each day, and you're ready to focus on your mindset to make it happen.
Hey there, welcome to the podcast. This is Bethanie Hansen. And I'm so glad you're here. We're going to talk about how to change your mindset so you can be successful. I'll give you 10 strategies on how to change your mindset so you can achieve success this year, this month this week. We're going to talk about these 10 strategies that will transform your mindset and unlock all of your beautiful, untapped potential for your personal growth, and even your professional achievement. You could make some life changing strides toward achieving those dreams you've always wanted to move towards. And it all starts by shifting how we think about ourselves and about our goals. Considering the Possibility of Changing Mindset
It is possible to overcome limiting thoughts or limitations that you feel you have, while embracing the challenges on the journey towards success in life and in work. Let's get started. So I'm going to give you three things. One is how you can unlock your potential to achieve success by adopting a growth mindset. And the second thing will be how to transform your negative self talk into positive affirmations to boost confidence and self esteem. And the third one is to surround yourself with positivity, and develop healthy habits, seek support and celebrate success, some little things that will help punctuate this journey for you.
As an educator and a mother and a coach, I have often been asked about mindset, not specifically using that word, of course. But it is: "how do you have a positive attitude?" Or, "how do you change your belief about something?"
And that can feel really difficult for people. Honestly, I think mindset is the toughest thing we could possibly work on changing, because it's sort of subconscious. It's the way we look at the world. It's the attitude we have, our outlook. And creating a positive attitude and outlook is what we're aiming for here.
One of the ways that we can recognize our mindset is just noticing the way we perceive something like, what do we think about it? Is it hopeless? Is it hopeful? Is there a possibility?
You can start by recognizing negative thought patterns and attitudes, and then create a way to transform those into a positive space. One way you can do that is to step out of your comfort zone, that could mean that you're going to try something new, or get up earlier in the day part your hair on the other side, it could be a very small thing.
And you could set achievable goals to foster some mental emotional, physical growth. And you can also surround yourself with inspiring people. That's one of the most important things I advocate all the time, self care habits like taking walks, and talking things through with other people. And also noticing and reflecting in gratitude on your life and your experiences. All of these things are going to help you think about a mindset.
And also to change your mindset to a growth mindset or a more positive mindset. It is possible to change a mindset, it might mean that it's difficult to but it can be done. And over time, it can become a habit, and it can actually become a healthy thing that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
I've found myself, in some experiences,
Looking for joy and wondering how to get more in your life? This podcast episode is the third of four in a short series. We're not going to talk about what joy is or why you should care. Instead, we're just going to dive right into some things I do in my work with clients to help them find more joy on a regular basis. After all, if you're looking for more joy, you probably want to just get started right now!
The third step is to build specific skills that help establish joyful habits. These center around the PERMA model, developed by positive psychology researcher Dr. Martin Seligman and lay out a road map that helps us develop a more satisfying, happier, joyful life.
In addition to the PERMA model, learned optimism and physical exercise boost mood and wellbeing. Your take away from this episode will be a list of ideas around ways to intentionally bring more joy into your life, beginning today.

The second step is to become more aware of your values. What are those areas of your life you care most about? What drives you and motivates you? What informs your personal decisions? And, where might you experience conflict with other people who prioritize something else? Once you have clear awareness of those values you hold dear that make life meaningful for you, you're able to examine your daily decisions and your life generally for alignment. This awareness helps you recognize immediately where an area of life needs attention, or how you might prioritize your time and energy. After listening to this episode, you might want to try a values identification exercise or the VIA character strengths survey. Either of these will help you see more of what moves you forward and is likely to bring more joy to your life. The good news is that there is a free link for that, right here on DrBCoach.Com. Try it out!

What does it mean to live aligned with your values? It means that you feel congruent, clear, and confident. And the opposite is also true--living out of alignment means that you likely feel frustrated, stuck, and in search of something more.

Do you ever feel exhausted, because you put everyone else first, leaving no time to take care of your own needs? This could be a sign that you are "people pleasing." This means we take on too much, live with unclear boundaries, and try to please others rather than taking care of our own basic needs.
In today's podcast, we will look at people pleasing, which often connects to codependency (which is NOT my area of expertise). Let's take a look at this widely common behavior and consider what else we can do to transition to balance and wellbeing, while still loving, serving, and teaching others.

If you've experienced overwhelm, you know how urgent it feels to learn how to reduce overwhelm! I've been there, living in my share of commitments, priorities, and endless tasks. And I know firsthand that it isn't a great place to be. In today's podcast episode, join me for some quick tips to work through that feeling of overwhelm and bring things back into focus.This is episode number 128. Welcome to the Mindset for life Podcast; this podcast is for you, if you love, serve, teach and lead others, you want things to keep getting better, you want encouragement. And just one little idea today to get stronger in your life, your relationships or your work. I'm Bethanie Hansen, and I help people everywhere take control of their current situations, and have power to do what they need to do in the future as well.I'm here with you today to talk about how to reduce overwhelm.Overwhelm is a feeling where we don't know how to get started, like there's so much going on, it's just very difficult to get a handle on it and feel like things could ever be better in the future. In fact, when we're experiencing overwhelm, our thoughts are usually muddled a little bit, and it's hard to even gain clarity.We don't know what the first step out of overwhelm is. Well, in my experience, overwhelm is a chronic condition that could just keep coming back again, and again. And again. Part of the reason overwhelm is such an unwelcome but regular visitor is that overwhelm is a space of “status quo.”Overwhelm is actually a somewhat of an indulgent mindset where, because there's so much going on in our brain, we can feel like, well, it makes sense that I can't take any action, because there's just so much to do, there's just so much going on in my brain, I can't do anything about it.That might be true. I don't really know what your experience is right now. But I know that when I have experienced overwhelm, it's usually come from not taking a little bit of time to slow down, and really work through what all of my thoughts are.Write it all down.The first step I usually recommend to my coaching clients, when I'm working with them on a state of overwhelm, is to just do a dump. Write all those thoughts down on a piece of paper. We're going to put down every little thing that is going on in that brain.Some of it is a list of things to do. And that's usually the easiest part to get out of the brain. So we're going to write down things like maybe you have a trip coming up. And some of the overwhelm is all the things you need to prepare and pack and have ready for the trip. Or maybe it has to do with what you need to do in the house so that the house is ready for your absence. Maybe you have locks you want to purchase or automatic light timers, or maybe you have someone coming over to your house to watch the house or watch the pets. Maybe have a pet to take to the kennel, there's a lot you can do to prepare your house for a trip.If you're preparing for a trip, and that's part of your overwhelm, probably there's a whole list of things going on in your brain about just getting ready for that trip, as well as packing for that trip. And planning what you're going to do while you're on the trip. Then outside of that if you have children at home, you might be thinking, if you're leaving the children with someone else, maybe a family member, how are you going to prepare the children for your absence?How are you going to prepare the family member to watch your kids, then there's work, right? If you work and you're going on a trip, you've also got all the work commitments you need to close out, wrap up and finish before the trip. See how easily that overwhelm can just pile up to thing after thing after thing?Pretty soon the overwhelm starts to feel like anxiety, and anxiety is all about the future. So we're experiencing in the current moment, all of these things that we just need to get done.
This podcast is for you, if you love, serve and teach and lead others, you want things to keep getting better. You want encouragement. And just one little idea today to get stronger in your life, your relationships or your work. I help people take control of their current situation and have power to do what they need to do in the future as well. This is Bethanie Hansen, and I'm your host on Mindset for Life. Thanks for joining me today.Today we're going to talk about automatic thoughts.Automatic thoughts are an interesting thing that can help you or hurt you. The weird thing is they sound like us.In fact, we have these thoughts come into our mind, and we don't even question them, we just assume that that's how the world works. And we think about them all the time.Every once in a while, I'll notice a person specifically saying, "Well, that's just how people are," or, "That's just how big organizations are."Or, "That's what people think these days." Any kind of comment like that reveals some kind of automatic thought or assumption about the way people or the world or organizations work.Do you have thoughts like that? Do you ever think about your thoughts? You know, if you notice yourself thinking something, and you pause, kind of step aside from yourself a minute and think objectively about what you're thinking, then you're doing this skill that I really love, and I think is super helpful to us all.And that is thinking about your thinking. Now, some of the thoughts I have, I don't realize I'm having them until I stop and I tell someone else what I'm thinking. And suddenly, it'll be really obvious and really shocking that I've been thinking a certain way. And some of those thoughts that work for me and don't work for me.I like to write down and keep track of and remember.We can do things we've never done before.One thought is that I can learn how to do something difficult that I've never done before. I may not be perfect at it. I may not win prizes for it. But I'm fully capable of learning something new that I haven't done before. I mean, after all, I've been doing that my whole life, haven't you?When you were a baby, you didn't know how to crawl, and you learned how to do that. And when you were a toddler, you learned how to walk. And you didn't know how to do that before either. Some people, some people even learned how to drive cars and got driver's licenses. And that was something you had never done before. Till you started driving. So there are a lot of things in the past that prove it's true, we can learn something new that we've never done before.All of us can. I think that way, when I'm presented with something new that I'd like to figure out, or I'd like to become fluent in doing. And like I said, it doesn't mean we're going to be masters of it. But at least we can learn something new we've never done before.Learning to notice and recognize automatic thoughts is that same kind of thing. Now, whatever you're facing in life, whatever challenges you're up against or experiencing, whether it's in your own self or in your relationships with other people, or in your circumstances, chances are you have some thoughts about those things that are very clear to you.The brain automates some thoughts to help us.And some that are a little bit hidden. I would call those the automatic thoughts.There's this thing about the brain that I've learned a lot about in the last few years. Some people call it neuroscience. Some people just call it talking about the brain, whatever you prefer, we're going to talk about your brain for just a minute here.Now your brain is totally in favor of protecting you, helping you and making your life efficient.So there are these parts of the brain that feed us thoughts and ideas that we have stored in there at some point. And these things come out at the most inopportune times, and they might be in the form of automatic thoughts.
If you are facing change, whether it’s coming at you, happening within, or something you’re leading, you can successfully navigate change by gaining awareness, gaining skills and knowledge, looking back at your past for insight that will help you to move forward, and take action in areas that are within your control. Listen to today’s podcast for tips and strategies to successfully navigate change.This is episode number 126. Welcome to the Mindset for Life Podcast. This podcast is for you if you love, serve, teach and lead others. You want things to keep getting better. You want encouragement. And just one little idea today to get stronger in your life, your relationships or your work. I help people take control of their current situation and have power to do what they need to do in the future. Join me in Mindset for Life.Welcome to mindset for life today, this is Bethanie Hansen. And I am very happy to be with you to talk about change.We’re either being changed, resisting change, or leading change.Just as a big broad idea, change is a big scary topic, right? Some people really don't like change. Maybe a little bit of change is good if we think of it ourselves, if we're in charge of the change, right? But if change is just happening all around us, in our workplace, in our life, and our world. And if we're not in control of that change, it can be scary and even incapacitating.It can cause us to be stuck, paralyzed, unable to move forward. And it can make it very difficult to think clearly and do those things that we care most about.So in change, there are three roles that happen. And one of those is that we are being changed. This one is somewhat intentional, right?So if we're being changed in this whole process of change happening, than we're probably learning, growing, adapting, adjusting ourselves in some way, either externally or internally.When I'm talking about internal change, I'm really talking about self talk, the way we think, the way we conceive of that change and the experience we're having. So it's external or its internal, but somehow we are growing, we are developing in that change.So maybe we're being changed in the change. Or a second option is we're resisting the change. I think that one is a pretty common experience that I've had, maybe you've had it too--something is changing, and we do not like it. We don't want it to happen.So maybe we're talking about it a lot. We're stewing about it, we're thinking about how much we longed for the way it used to be.Maybe we're wishing for the good things of the past, we just don't want this change to be happening. And the truth is, it is happening.There's nothing we can do about it, the change is happening. And we have to get on board. But we are so stuck, we are resisting that change, we just don't like it.And the third option is that we are leading the change. Maybe we came up with some new direction our family needs to move in, or where we want to change something in our personal life. Maybe we're going to be changing the business, the classroom, the team we're leading, whatever it is, we are leading that change. And in any kind of change, there are some stages that we all go through. So I want to just share some ideas today, they're going to give you one little insight to help you get through a change you might be experiencing right now. Or a change that might be coming up for you. So whether you're going to be changed by it, because you're resisting it or you're leading it, something's going to happen. And if you'd like more personal power in the journey you’re on, this idea could be very helpful.You can choose to use change as a growth and learning opportunity.This idea is the choice between either growing through this change experience, whether you're leading it resisting it, or it's changing you, right, you can grow in the experience. Or you can actually gain some knowledge or some skill or some capacity beca...
If you feel like others ask too much of you, take advantage of you, or just don't respond in ways that you expect, today's episode "Don't be a doormat" will help you learn how to say "no."This is episode 125. Welcome to the Mindset for Life Podcast. This podcast is for you, if you love, serve, teach and lead others. You want things to keep getting better. You want encouragement. And just one little idea today to get stronger in your life, your relationships or your work. I help people take control of their current situation, and have power to do what they need to do in the future as well. Welcome to the Mindset for Life podcast.This is your host, Dr. Bethanie Hansen. And I'm on this journey with you every step of the way.Thanks for being with me here today. I'm excited to be with you on the Mindset for Life podcast. I love podcasting, because we're talking about some ideas. And all of these ideas can fuel your life satisfaction and happiness.Happiness, of course, is not something we can feel 100% of the time. It also depends on how you define your own personal happiness. But it's something most of us think we're pursuing in life, right? It's that state of being in a positive emotional space, being more successful than we have been in the past, continuing to grow, connect with other people. And all of those things.The topic today is addressing a statement one of my coach clients said to me, and perhaps you've thought this in your own life at a time or another. And it is this statement: “I don't want to be a doormat.”When my client said this, to me, there was a whole story behind it, which I'm not going to share, because that's the privacy my clients get from me. But that statement, “I don't want to be a doormat,” what does that mean to you?Have you ever thought something like that? Well, when I think about that statement, I'm noticing a couple of things. First of all, when a person feels like a doormat, it means other people are expecting a lot or getting a lot from that person. Without Limits. It could also be a bit of disrespect or lack of appreciation that the person is getting. And it could be something about boundaries.So if a person is feeling like a doormat, they're saying yes to a lot of things, and not really happy about that. Not satisfied with that.If you're saying yes to a lot of things, and you wish you were not saying yes to a lot of things, or you wish you got a better payback when you say yes, like the appreciation and respect that you expect from other people, it's really helpful to be thinking about what you want to do in terms of getting what you want in situations in the circumstances, in the way you think and feel about yourself and in your relationships. So today, we're going to talk about how not to be a doormat.If you've thought this ever, this episode is going to be for you, it's going to be very helpful to you in thinking differently about situations and in deciding what you're going to do next.So the first thing I want to just approach is the “Gain” section of the framework I've been using with my coach clients. Gain is all about getting the skills and knowledge you lack. Now, if you feel like you just don't know how to navigate situations where you feel like a doormat, you don't know why it's happening to you, and you want something to change, it's possible that there are some skills and knowledge to be gained. That you can use in the future when these situations come back to you.Probably, it's something that's repeated in your life or your work or both, if you're experiencing it, and it's so painful, right? When somebody feels like a doormat, we feel like we're being used. We feel like we're just not giving value because we're not being noticed. And yet we're working really hard to give that value, and to give things to people in our lives and our relationships and our work.It's just super painful to feel on the deficit and other things,

I’ll share some ideas around taking the VIA Character Strengths survey to help you learn why you should know about and use your strengths, as well as your "lesser strengths." You can learn more about your strengths and “lesser strengths,” giving yourself permission to be more of who you are and letting go of some things that are not your highest areas for now.

If you want to change yourself, there are many different ways to do it. First, you can change your appearance, making adjustments like dying your hair or gaining/losing weight. Second, you can change your behaviors by adopting new habits. This might be easy steps taken over time, amounting to bigger changes. Third, you can change your mindset.
Your mindset is the way you think. And what you think determines who you are. Your thinking leads to your feelings, actions, and outcomes. What you get out of life starts with your thoughts and develops almost automatically from there.
In today's podcast, we'll talk about making changes, and some ideas around getting started. Did you know... when you even begin considering changes, you're already becoming a better version of yourself?
