Growing is better than weeding!
In this episode of Habit Masters we discuss the importance of focusing on growth and positivity in your life rather than fixating on eliminating negative habits. We use the metaphor of a garden to illustrate that while weeding is necessary, the primary focus should be on planting and nourishing the good fruits you desire. Cultivating positive habits can crowd out negative ones and lead to a more fulfilling life. Take the next 7-10 days to test out the principle by growing something new in your life.

How would you like to drive with a rearview mirror almost as big as your windshield?
it would be nearly impossible . And yet that's how we live our lives. We're focused so much on the past, we barely pay attention to the future. But just like driving, the road ahead should get 97% of our attention when we're designing our life.
There's a gap between the life story we are writing and the story we want to be writing. That gap exists primarily because we are too focused on our past. To write a better life story and align the story you want to live with the one you're actually living, you must shift your focus from the past to the future. If you want to align your dreams with your reality, this episode is for you.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
ACTION STEP FROM THE EPISODE:Choose one area of your life you want to write a different story: health, relationships, finances, etc. Where are you current actions out of alignment with that story?

Are SMART goals really that smart?
In this episode of Habit Masters, we challenge the conventional wisdom of setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. Instead, we propose the idea of 10X goals that force you to become someone new and solve problems you don't already know how to solve. We think goals are about becoming someone new rather than achieving a specific results. By setting goals that are beyond what you think is possible, you can transform yourself and achieve success you never dreamed.
Join us on this journey as we take a whole new approach to goal setting.
Episode Highlights
ACTION STEP FROM THE EPISODE:Consider where you are currently working with a 2X "SMART" mindset. Now apply a 10X mindset to that same goal and let the creative juices start flowing.

"The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new." -Dan Millman
Naturally, as we seek self improvement, we will face obstacles that can turn change into an uphill battle. Why is it that sometimes our goals only result in short term improvement? How does our mindset affect both our process and our results? What can we do to replace temporary results with long-term change?

Expectations have immense power to influence who we are and who we become.
Whether they're our expectations or the expectations of others, the difference they can make in our lives is surprising. For that very reason, we believe it is vital to understand the power these expectations hold and to learn how we can harness that power to inspire personal growth and progress.
Join us as we revisit the idea of the Pygmalion effect (as discussed in Episode #43) and how you can apply that knowledge in your life today!

Our personality is big part of who we are and a huge factor in what we create.
Although traditionally personality has been presented as a mostly unchanging part of our character, now we know it to be more dynamic and moldable than permanent or fixed. Personality is flexible, and we have the power to determine who we're going to be.
As we take control of our personality, it not only shapes our future, but can redefine how we see and interpret the past. It’s all about the meaning we give.
How do we use this knowledge to shape ourselves and form a path for growth instead of confining ourselves to limiting labels?
More important than who we are or where we are right now, is who we want to be and where we want to go in the future.
The expectations of the people around us have a powerful effect on how we perform, so we must seek to surround ourselves with people who have expectations in line with what we want to become, and we must avoid the identity filters that confine us (and others) to a fixed identity.

Inspired by Russell Conwell's speech Acres of DiamondsDo you ever feel stuck? Do you ever feel like the opportunities you want are out of reach? If we change our perspective we will learn to notice the opportunities that exist all around us.
There is no set time in the future for us to be happy or successful, we can access happiness and success right now.
We are capable. We can do hard things. If you don't like the cards you have been dealt, try looking at them with new eyes, or trade up for new cards. We are never left without opportunities, we just need to train ourselves to notice and take advantage of them.
At times we may recognize the opportunities, but be too scared to make a change because we are unsure of the future it will bring. In times like this it is important to remember complacency does not bring progress.
Don't limit yourself, un-limit yourself.
What are the capabilities, tools and skills you have, that remain to be explored? What opportunities could those traits and abilities help you access?
What are the diamonds around you that have gone unnoticed?

I love the saying 'The past is a great teacher but a terrible master'.
The past is just that, passed. Over. Done. Finito. There is nothing we can do to change it. It's like wishing you had that rainy vacation day back. The only thing we can do with the past is learn from it. And hopefully, one rainy day doesn't stop us from going on vacation again.
Past regrets often hold us captive. Too much focus on the past will detach us from the present and rob us of a better future. We have no control over what has been done, only on what we do with what's been done.
On the other hand the future is unmade. It is defined only by our choices. How are we going to show up? Better yet, how do we want to show up?
You are different today than you were a year, a week, or even a day ago. Change is inevitable. But what if you could define your present by your future rather than your past. This is the power of goals. This is a power only possessed by humans—to imagine a better future and intentionally act to create that reality. A reality that does not now exist.

Inspired by Seth Godin's blog post The Easy Way DownDo we ski to get to the bottom? If so, why not just ride the lift down? Do we climb mountains simply to reach the top? If so, why not take a helicopter? Do we go to college to get a degree so we can get a decent job? Or is there more to learning than simply 'graduating'?
It seems that when we get to the top of the mountain, we take a picture and head right back down. Or when we reach the bottom of the slope, we jump right back on the lift. Or when we complete that race, we sign up for the next one.
What we know and often forget in our pursuits is that we aren't working towards an end, we are working towards progress. The point of all of it is who we are becoming along the way.
One thing we all know instinctively is the easy way does not lead to better results. Its' like solving for 2+2. You know the answer and you've been there before. Better results require more moguls. And as every skier knows, it's also more fun.
What moguls have you been avoiding? How could those moguls help you achieve the better results you're looking for?

The impact of gratitude on our happiness and success cannot be overstated. It is the "magic bullet" for all despair and frustration. No matter how frustrated or hopeless you may feel in a moment, looking for the good will always turn things around.
I spent two years living among an extremely poor group of people and yet they were often happier than the rich people I live around now.
All the money, power and things in the world cannot bring happiness to the ungrateful. And, on the other hand, all the pain, poverty and sorrow cannot steal happiness away from the grateful heart.
During this holiday season we wanted to express our thanks to you for being a listener on Idea Gym and give you some action steps you can take to turn gratitude into your very own fountain of happiness.

Have you figured out what's holding you back from living your dream?
Is it Kids? Money? Time?
This incredible interview with Emily and Erik Orton of The Awesome Factory NYC will make you rethink all the things holding you back and give you the courage to live a better story—the story you only dream about now.
The Ortons have lived in a 2 bedroom apartment in NYC since 1999. They have 5 kids the youngest with Down syndrome. Emily grew up terrified of water and Erik was not raised in a sailing family. Despite every excuse not to dream big and live adventurously, they decided to bootstrap a year on a sailboat with their 5 kids. The adventure gave them a new perspective on facing fears, solving problems, and living life to the fullest.
"We believe the most important thing you can do is live a better story. We believe the greatest gift we can all give each other is encouragement. We hope sharing our stories will spark clarity and confidence to help you live deliberately and do what matters most to you."After returning from their year living on a sailboat, they wrote a book Seven At Seawhere they share their experience in full detail—the good, the bad and the ugly. Snag it on in hardback, digital or audio on amazon. (affiliate link)
Erik is an Emmy Award® winning writer. Emily is a former English teacher turned homeschool mom. Together they now write and speak about living a better story.What's your better story? The only finite thing in life is time. How are you going to use yours?

Your mind (and life) is like a garden. And just like any patch of good soil, things WILL grow.
You have the choice to let it run wild with whatever seeds blow in, or you can select which things you’ll plant and nurture to grow.
This is a truth everyone must learn in order to take control of their life and realize that they are agents unto themselves. The fact is, life's not fair and some people start with more rocks and thistles whether from conditioning, upbringing, circumstances, or genetics. Each of us has the power (even if our field is strewn with boulders and thistles) to clear it out and plant what we choose.
Sometimes that means putting in the sustained effort required to have a large, fruitful garden.
Sometimes that means learning which plants are useful and which ones are secretly destroying the garden.
Often it means asking for help from others who have more experience or have been trained on how to get rid of particularly poisonous plants.
But the choice is always yours to do with your garden as you wish.
You get to decide to look for/ask for help. It's your job to be humble, to ask questions, to figure out what you want, and then work to take steps to move toward it. The journey is different for everyone. But there's always a way to make it better.
Ask God or the universe. Ask family and friends. Read books. Take classes. Find mentors and specialists. There are countless gardeners out there who have experience and expertise in the areas you most need help.
Start today. Take that next small step of action toward whatever it is you want (or need) help with in your life.
In the Deep Dive Part. 2 we discuss how what we put into our mind affects our thoughts, perceptions, attitudes and habits. And how those affect our actions which determines our outcomes and creates our future circumstances.

This one simple habit helped me grow my income 5X and turn my dreams into reality. Listen close for the shortcut so you won't have to take extra time from your day.
Several years ago I was working at a corporate job, attending the university part-time, involved in a financial planning group, and had recently started a family. My plate was pretty full, or at least it felt full to me. My number one goal was to be financially free so my wife could be a stay-at-home Mom, like she wanted, and I wouldn't be tied to 9-5 working on someone else's dreams.
You could imagine my frustration being on the super-duper slow train to my goals. I kept telling myself I was doing all the right stuff, I just needed to be patient. That's when I discovered the personal development world (Think and Grow Rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad, As a Man Thinketh, Man’s Search for Meaning, etc.) and I WAS HOOKED! It was like everyone one of these guys was reading my mind. It felt like I found my tribe and they had a different, better way of looking at the world. I read and listened to everything I could get my hands on—this was before iPhones, Kindle and Audible. I had to use CDs and read paper. What!?!
Even with all the amazing ideas I was collecting, my life continued at about the same pace. Then one day a guest speaker, Bob Proctor came to our company and issued a challenge. He invited us to write out the last chapter of As a Man Thinketh every night for 30 days. I accepted the challenge. I committed to writing it out every night for 30 day. I loved it and continued doing it for more than 2 years. It was this first "Deep Dive" which unlocked "the secret" inside of me leading to a greater belief in my ability to build better habits in my life.
Soon after I leveled up at my job which liberated my wife from her job. Then I chose a different path. I left the university and started a business on the side. Within 24 months of leaving school I increased my income 5x which allowed us to move into our first home. About a year later I quit my corporate job and became a full-time owner and entrepreneur.
I tell you this to demonstrate how changing one simple habit in my life had a major compound effect of positive results. It can do the same for you.
Here's the best part...Youtube, Spotify and Audible have made it easy to shortcut this action into your existing routine. No need to take extra time each day! You can listen while you drive, while you exercise, while you do dishes, etc.
Join us in the Deep Dive Challenge!

Have you ever had trouble in a relationship? (I know, that's a dumb question, right?)
For some it's serious enough that you're contemplating ending the relationship.
But even if you feel you have a "great" marriage or relationship, most of us underestimate how much more happiness, connection, and excitement COULD be there with a little guidance.
On this episode you're going to learn how to stop chopping at the branches of the problem and start striking at the roots.
We interviewed Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife. She helps couples and individuals learn how to strengthen their relationships, overcome relational and sexual roadblocks, and increase their capacity for intimacy, love, and sexual expression.
A few nuggets we discuss with Dr. Finlayson-fife
Dr. Finlayson-Fife has 5 AMAZING online courses, in-person workshops, as well as one on one coaching.

I was sitting at the table about to enjoy a delicious meal after a long day working. My emotions were a little fragile because I hadn't eaten lunch that day. Suddenly I felt a whack on the back of my head. With an instant feeling of frustration I turned around to see what had hit me. There stood my 6 year old with a foam sword in his hand smiling....
How would you react? Do you have a choice?
In his amazing book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People Stephen Covey shares this valuable insight "There is a gap between stimulus and response...the key to both our growth and happiness is how we use that space."
If you want to learn how to recognize, create and use that "space" to become unstoppable, this is the episode for you.
We interviewed Professional Energy Coach, Laura Banks on her method of creating space between stimulus and response and using it to take positive action in our lives. The best part is she is hosting a FREE, 7 Day Energy Activation Challenge where you can be guided personally by her via WhatsApp. This next sessions begins on September 21-27, 2020.

I've been a dreamer since I was a little kid. I used to walk around my front yard pretending I was the greatest college football player in the world. I imagined I was unstoppable. And even though there weren't any big guys trying to tackle me, I still felt the excitement of what it must be like. I never actually went on to play tackle football. And that's my point—I was a dreamer and not a big doer.
It wasn't until later in my life it finally clicked.
The company I worked for at the time invited a guest speaker, Bob Proctor to an event. It was his presentation that knocked something loose for me. He shared examples from Think and Grow Rich and As a Man Thinketh, two of the foundational books to any success library. He shared stories of belief followed by success. I felt something deep inside me stir. Not a dream anymore but a belief and a resolve to make it happen. I decided right then I would do whatever he said I needed to. This would be my transition from dreamer to doer. Then the moment came—he challenged us to write out one major goal (specific, measurable, time-bound) of who we wanted to become on a small slip of paper. Then he said to read it every morning and carry that slip of paper in our pocket so subconsciously every time we felt it, it would remind us of who we were becoming. Then he tasked us to write out the final chapter of As a Man Thinketh every night for 30 days; which is only about 7 paragraphs.
Sounds simple, right? It was simple. But up to that point I had heard tons of ideas to be more successful and always let something stop me from taking consistent action. All of us have had ideas and dreams but never taken real action on them. This time was different for me. I resolved to take the action for as long as it took to see the results. I finally believed I could become whatever I wanted.
These small daily actions, which I did for years not days, started me on a path of becoming more. Over the following few years I started several businesses, I shifted my focus in school, then I quit school and pursued my entrepreneurial dreams. All the while I saw leaps of growth at my job and had opportunities I never would have imagined before. A 100% belief in a brighter future, coupled with small daily actions has been the key to a better life for me.
We challenge you to decide who you want to become and start taking small daily actions to move you in the direction of your dreams. It's simple. But you must decide.
In this episode Sheldon and I review some of our answers to the 10 questions and talk about who we want to become over the next months and years.

What if tomorrow you lost the ability to walk? How would you react? That's the type of challenge we explore with Lee Chambers (Environmental Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant). Because that's what happened to him and what spurred him into a life of service to others. We had an AMAZING conversation with Lee and learned a TON! He is an amazing example of taking everything that happens in life and making it work for you. As Lee puts it "Adversity always comes in our life, it doesn't discriminate...everything's a challenge to step up and become more."The message that continues to pop up for me these past few weeks is this; Life happens for you, not to you. The ability to be grateful for everything that comes our way and get the most out of it is a super power of the successful.
If you want to learn how to turn challenge into triumph, this is the episode for you.

The first step to shaping/attaining the future you want, IS TO DECIDE WHAT IT IS YOU REALLY WANT.
You have to know who you want to become tomorrow to know what you need to do today.
The Problem is it takes courage to even admit to ourselves what it is we really want... We fear failure, rejection and have all this baggage from years gone by. So we think that by not trying we avoid failure. But that simply isn't true. And it's robbing us from happiness, from learning, growing and opportunities we can't even imagine in our current state.
Anything that’s ever been created was first imagined. It starts with hope that the future CAN be brighter than today. And with faith that our actions today WILL result in a better tomorrow.
The clearer your vision...the more vivid your dream, the easier your path to realizing it will be.
Start building your brighter future by asking the following questions (and writing them out in detail) to envision who you want to be and what you want out of your future.

There are endless tips on getting things done these days. So what actually works? We Zoomed with Psychologist & Productivity Coach, Dr. Todd Snyder to find out and put some ideas to work. He was full of great information and simple productivity tips we could try out immediately. Here are just a few things you'll hear from this episode.
ON THIS EPISODE
HIGHLIGHTS/QUOTES"Could you finish your daily routine faster if you gave yourself less time to finish? Is it just a concept that’s true in theory? Or does it work in real life?" ~ Dr. Todd Snyder
*“As a psychologist, I have seen firsthand that intelligent decision-making is more important than IQ when it comes to finding relationship success, happiness, business success, physical health, and financial peace of mind.” ~ Dr. Todd Snyder
"The problem is, when it comes to productivity, most of us don’t feel in control of the decisions we make about where we focus our limited time and energy.Fortunately, I have a solution for that problem.” ~ Dr. Todd Snyder*SHOW LINKS

Continuing with our ASK Challenge, we interview Maxwell Ivey (aka, The Blind Blogger)
Maxwell is a "blind blogger," podcaster, speaker, life coach, author, self-taught web developer, and chuck full of wisdom and a delight to talk too.
Max helps people "ask for what you want and need in life and get it."
"Because if you don’t Ask, They Can’t say Yes!
This applies to everything in life.
It all starts with asking.
You will have to ask yourself if you have the courage to try.
And you will have to ask others for support, encouragement, information, and more if you want to succeed."
Max's "Rule of Four" to help you achieve your dreams
Remember and follow my Rule of Four, which goes like this:
1. If you can do it, then take action right away.
2. If you can’t do it, then can you learn it?
3. If you can’t do it or learn it, can you get someone to do it for you?
4. If you can’t do it, learn it, or get someone else to do it; then ignore it and focus on the things you can do something about.
Here is a link to Max's book we dig into during the interview "A Blind Bloggers NYC Adventures"

You know the book Green Eggs and Ham? You probably feel like you have a good grasp on the lesson from that book—it's about trying new things and not limiting our options based on assumptions, right? But do you know the other lesson from that book? The one that's often overlooked? The second and maybe even more powerful lesson from Green Eggs and Ham is to ASK. And ask persistently. Sure, Sam-I-Am seems annoying at first. But isn't he the reason the other guy finally tries the Green Eggs and Ham? The one who helps him discover something he loves? Asking is the super power of Sam-I-Am.
Kids have this same super power..."Why?" "Are we there yet?" "Why can't I stay up?" "Why do I have to...?" We often laugh about how annoying it can be when kids ask the same questions over and over. But asking is the key to unlocking the world. It is the super power to discover truth, get what you want and help others do the same. That's the hidden lesson from Green Eggs and Ham.
So when did asking questions become taboo? It seems that somewhere in our experience the majority of us were taught, either directly or indirectly, that asking questions means your dumb. This could not be further from the truth.
In this episode we explore the power of asking and introduce a NEW CHALLENGE! It's time to start asking for what you want. Like our next guest, The Blind Blogger, Maxwell Ivey puts it "If you don't ask, they can't say yes."
When was the last time you simply asked for what you wanted? When was the last time you piped up and asked the question in a meeting or class? It's more than likely other people in the room had the same question. What have you been hoping for but have been too afraid to ask for?

I woke up the other morning and wanted to write a book. But then I thought "I don't have time right now! I need to make breakfast, exercise, shower, get ready for work, and go to work." Then I thought "I'll just do it tonight after the wife and kids are in bed"...I think you know how that story ends. You're probably either laughing at me or crying with me right now. Because more than likely you have had a similar experience. Maybe not with writing a book, but with the thing you desperately want to do but think "ain't nobody got time for that!". But what if time wasn't the problem? Idea Gym is about sharing ideas that move you forward towards your goals even though you've got no more time in your full life.

The Problem- Binge Netflix, browse social media, endlessly follow newsfeeds on your phone = Easy! But read that book on improving your life you've been meaning to get to, or work on that project you've been thinking about for months... It's like pulling teeth!
The Challenge- Regular technology breaks, a dopamine detox/vacation or “Dopamine fasting” as it’s been popularized.
The Desired Result- Get more Pleasure and Motivation from living life, and doing normal (aka "hard") things.
Here is the Link to our Facebook page with a full rundown of our mini-challenge. (along with additional notes, links, videos, etc.)
Plus a sneak peek at what Jeff and I are using our Journaling Writing Challenge to accomplish... (Okay maybe it's just exciting to us right now, but we hope it'll be useful and exciting to others as well;)

"Give yourself the gift of done!"
We explore 4 concepts/ideas from Jon Acuff's book FINISH. And in particular, apply it to our current Cold Shower Challenge.
When it comes to accomplishments and achieving your goals, "lack of willpower" really isn't the problem. Nor is trying hard or simply grinding your way to the finish the solution.
Turns out there are a lot of counterintuitive (at least on the surface) ways to help you SIGNIFICANTLY improve the likelihood of actually accomplishing the things you set out to do.

*We've learned how to do some better editing/filtering so this one should sound better. And we've decided that it's better for us (and probably you) if we shorten these down to about a half-hour. (Starting with Session 3 of course)
