The Morning Show with Traci and Kayla: Recent Episodes
Traci & Kayla
How do I change my life? How do I find myself? How do I create a routine and stick to it? How can I set goals and achieve them? How do I feel happy again? And the biggest question of all, how do I see results actually happen for me and experience success?
Welcome to The Morning Show with Traci and Kayla, where we will answer ALL of these questions and leave you feeling motivated and inspired to transform your own life from the inside out. Hosts Traci and Kayla help show you who you are, what you want, and how to actually get the results you are looking for. This mother/daughter collaboration will not only help you get clear on who you want to become, but also help you understand the behavioral patterns that hold you back in the process. These Life Transformation Experts are not just your ordinary goal setting or manifesting teachers, in their opinion those are outdated and don’t actually work. Not only will this hilarious duo bring you a blend of strategy and soul, but they will also bring you the science and psychology aspect to back up their methods. If you are looking for the new and fresh way to approach changing your life, then you are in the right place. Here you will receive tangible steps and their signature strategy for helping you today, no matter where your starting point is.
This podcast got a fresh new look and a total makeover. Trends die, information becomes outdated, and that is why there are three seasons in the archives. It takes guts to throw out something great, but that risk has brought you something even better. The new trendsetting season is here, welcome to SEASON FOUR.
Have you ever wished someone would just tell you what to do? Are you ready to feel confident and happy? The first step to changing your life is subscribing to your new weekly motivation, inspiration, and hope. Your life can change in one single click.
They told you not to feel.
We built a world where you could.
After 10 years, Talk Candid to Me is back: with more story, more soul, and way more truth. This isn’t a comeback. It’s a continuation. Traci & Kayla - mother, daughter, creators of The Goddess Rebellion - dust off the mic and reflect on their decade-long journey through emotional truth, energetic healing, spiritual growth, and the choice to lead with feeling in a world obsessed with performance.
In this episode:
→ How it all began (2am podcasts in NYC)
→ What we’ve learned in 10 years of emotional rebellion
→ Why healing now requires feeling more, not less
→ Our evolution from webinars to world-building
→ Fiction as medicine, legacy, and spiritual technology
→ If a story could heal… would you listen?
Whether you’re new here or have been with us since the webinar couch days, you’re invited back into the fire.

Welcome to our new rebranded podcast. The Morning Show with Traci and Kayla has officially moved over to Talk Candid to Me.
Kayla and I are so excited to be with you here on this journey. We have created a safe place to have candid conversations around healing emotional pain. There are some incredibly beautiful lies that we have all bought into that keep us stuck and bring in even more pain into our lives. We expose these lies and give what feels like "ugly" truth around what it takes to actually change your life. We have a trauma aware lens through all of our content. We want to help the feelers feel heard, seen and valued as we move through the journey of change. Join us on this adventure.
In this episode, we talk about burnout and how to get unstuck quickly. The beautiful lie is that when we feel better then we can make decisions and start taking action. The ugly truth is that we cannot wait to feel better or for the world to figure itself out. Moving your body through walking or breath-work is the fastest way to get unstuck and out of burnout. Burnout is mostly a priority issue. Committing to moving for yourself everyday with intention will change the trajectory of your life. It sounds too easy, until you try to move. The emotional and energetic resistance to moving is tough. That is why we have dedicated our time this summer to help you move and find a way back to yourself and feel relief and see possibility in ways you couldn't before.
It's important to have these conversations on how to embrace and bloom in our lives instead of punishing ourselves in thoughts or actions that are harmful. We hope to see you in our summer experience, Alignment Waves, where we learn how to clear out the emotions safely in a supportive community. We spark our souls and feel alive again after a period of surviving. Don't worry about when you start. We offer live support all summer long and it doesn't matter if you start day 1 or 70 you will see results! Links below.
GET READY FOR ALIGNMENT WAVES this summer. Please join us on this journey as we move mountains and change the stars.

In this episode, we talk about the beautiful lie that everyone else has their sh** together and somehow we aren't able to manage as well as everyone else. We are living in a time that is full of contrast. Kayla and I share how we have been struggling with our energy as we have been navigating a very difficult time and at the same time, are having amazing moments. We share the ebb and flow of life with all the highs and lows and that they do impact our life. Spoiler, they impact everyone's life, well maybe not the robots, but everyone else that feels.
It's important to have these conversations on how to embrace and bloom in our lives instead of punishing ourselves in thoughts or actions that are harmful. We encourage you to come join us in our summer experience, Alignment Waves, where we learn how to clear out the emotions safely in a supportive community. We spark our souls and feel alive again after a period of surviving. Can't wait to see you!

In this episode, we talk about why manifesting doesn't work with how it is taught "out there". We share why emotional pain has created a rewired brain that needs a "new edition" to manifest. We need to feel. We need to heal. We need to take off the mask of who we were told to be and start believing in the magic of ourselves. This takes a new approach that we have created called the Law of Contrast. This is how we can heal and grow our confidence so that we can become the person we were always meant to be, before the trauma. Join us as we talk about a controversial topic that we are most passionate about. I guarantee that this will not be the last time we talk about this!

We take time on our podcast episode to help bring some inspiration to your day and help you start to think about how you can create your new normal in your life today.

People in general have a tendency to make things more difficult than they need to be. This is because effort is often placed, in the wrong direction. We think that we are doing the work, when in actuality we are putting tons of effort to even get to where the REAL work begins. Today we use the examples from 90 Day Fiance, Married at First Sight, and Love is Blind to help illustrate this point

Today we give you a quick tip on how you can change your words to help turn the positivity train around.

If you want to set yourself up for success you will need to understand what needs to be placed as the priority and what you need to let go of. You can't accomplish everything at once, so before you can goal set, you must understand what you are willing to say yes and no to in order to keep the priority set.

We are redefining manifesting today in an effort to help differentiate the way we teach here and also clarify what sets us apart from the rest. I have created a new word for the way we manifest: Lifestyle Design.
THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN MANIFESTING & TRADITIONAL GOAL SETTING METHODS.
Our signature method not only shows you HOW to reach your end result, but also how to set multiple “goals or benchmarks” to guide you along the way to build more confidence.
Most of the “goal planning” or “manifesting” information out there teaches us that you should ask for it, believe it will happen, and receive it. If you don’t receive it, you either didn’t believe in your worth enough, or repelled it away by your thoughts.
insert massive face palm here
No more wishing, waiting, and hoping for something to happen. If you want it, you must take action towards it. With this strategy, you will be able to understand HOW to get there.
You can read more about it here:

We each have a unique way of how we want to give and receive love. The people in our lives also have their own way to give and receive love. In order to feel the love that is being given to you, you will need to understand how the other person operates.
When you are in a relationship, you can have communication around the way you need them to express love and in return you can change the way you show you love the way that the other person needs it.
There is a quiz called: The 5 Love Languages
There are five different categories that you get scored in. Sometimes your language can change along with your relationships, healing, life phase, etc..

Everyone needs a good reminder. We all set reminders for work, to do lists, grocery lists, chores.. but what about reminders of who we are and what we are capable of?
Lots of people teach about affirmations, but usually these tend to be so broad the meaning and power get lost in the process.
We want to share with you how we use reminders and affirmations really work.

What is the "in between" phase?
This phase is the time when you are letting go the old and taking steps towards something new. Whenever we make a change in our life, we don't step right into the results. We usually have to let go of something first, and trust that our desire will work out.
When you are waiting for the results, and you don't know when the change will happen -- it is hard to wait it out. This is where doubt tries to sneak in to break your flow and revert you back to the old ways and patterns.
In this phase you will need to have consistency and faith.

Priorities and goals go hand in hand. When you have a goal, your priority should be aligned with that goal. When you shift your priority, your goals should fall. You wont get anywhere if you have opposing priorities and goals.
For example: If you are wanting to prioritize sleep and your goal is massive productivity, both are great but these two don't necessarily fit together.
In order to be productive you will need sleep and if you are prioritizing sleep you can still get things done. When you are making choices, having this priority and goal combination will make it difficult for you to clearly see what the best choice is for you.

You want to approach change knowing yourself, even your triggers, so that you can further take care of yourself in the process. Emotions will always come up during the process of change. You will find a deeper sense of control and confidence when you are able to anticipate your needs and help yourself through the emotional dips that happen.
Our minds are driven by patterns. You can watch the patterns of your mind and start to notice who you really are when you are experiencing change. Be sure to detach from this meaning as well, it is JUST information.
If you don't know your patterns, the best place to start truly is your body. The body doesn't lie, the mind will play tricks on you. The body can show you your own patterns, behaviors, and beliefs.

When you connect to a strong why, it will empower you to hang in there when the going gets tough. It gives you a reason to make a tough choice that doesn't feel good.
The results are sometimes very far away. It takes time to overcome and achieve things, so you need something else to help get you through.
For example, if I am going back to school - the degree is the goal -- not the motivation. The motivation needs to be more immediate so it helps you in the moments when it is tough to study. The part of me that is coming full circle and showing myself how smart and determined I am is what is pushing me forward in the moments today. The overcoming of something that I have felt insecure about is giving me the confidence and motivating me to do more.

The pivotal moment is never the choice at the beginning of the process. The pivotal moment is the moment you go "all in" with the commitment and consistency of your choice.
There is a moment when you are in momentum, you are living with confidence, and life is aligned.
Usually when you are making a choice, there is some area of life that you are unhappy in. Therefore, the alignment comes AFTER the choices have been made.

Anger can be a positive influence on your behavior. We can use the anger we feel when we align it with the vibration of passion. People tend to fear the experience of lower vibration feelings. When you are afraid of your emotions, your emotions are in control of you and not the other way around.
So many people post on social media that they want "positive vibes only" or are only looking for "positive people" to comment or post.
The funny thing is, people who understand motivation and the process of change are very comfortable in the lower vibrations. These people don't dwell in those vibrations however, they are empowered to utilize these vibrations to get them moving towards their goals.

You need to reframe what you want, by looking at where you are willing to get uncomfortable in today. Here is where you know what you are ready to work towards next.
The magic isn't in the plan, it is in the willingness to complete the plan.
The effort is required, and not everyone is mentally prepared for the amount of work that is required to achieve their dreams. Don't be surprised, expect the process of change to challenge you.
If you keep consistent, the process of being uncomfortable will continue to get easier. The moment where everything clicks, and momentum flows, happens in the consistency of the effort, not the motivation of the desire. ;)

Things go wrong in life. We are in constant conversation looking for feedback in our choices, thoughts, and feelings. When you have lived a life full of pain, any little moment of something going wrong feels like a mistake. This is where the belief pops up in our mind that: "it just not be meant to be."
Life will always have obstacles that you will need to overcome. Healthy minds understand that obstacles are just obstacles and don't define our destiny.
When you have a past full of unhealed pain or trauma, the perceptions are going to be skewed and the truth of the situation will be harder to see. In pain, we often look for excuses, and our beliefs come forward to bring relief to our experience. This is why we say: Relief is not the definition of happiness. Relief is relief.

The tendency in many of is to want change in every area of our life at the same time. Typically the more overwhelmed you are, the more you try to over compensate and accomplish more at once in order to "make up" for lost time.
We all want the results of change immediately, which leads to feeling overwhelmed.
Don't look at the things you want, but rather look at the choices you have made. Take a look at the 3 biggest choices you have made in 2019. Now look at the results of those choices. Think about the consequences of those choices stepping into this new year. There can be both positive and negative consequences of our actions. Typically your choices have a theme. Your desires won't but your choices will.

https://traciandkayla.com/where-to-start-when-you-feel-overwhelmed/
Why do we start and stop all of the time?
If you have unhealed trauma or are triggered in your past painful experienced, you actually have two versions of yourself.
- Current self: Desires results and change (I would like to lose weight, pay off debt, start dating again)
- Wounded self: Looking to always protect (goes into isolation, self sabotage behavior, and hiding)
There are two separate agendas within yourself that compete against each other. When things get triggered and safety gets poked, your behavior reverts back to the old habits and patterns. It will be helpful for you to realize that there are two different sides of you that are going to cause the start and stop pattern.

Yes you can heal from trauma - if you are willing to. Results are dependent on one thing -- ACTION.
You have to be willing to do the work, but if you do the reward will be healing and triumph. You can't remove memories or experiences, but what heals is your reaction and perspective on them.
Your pain and experiences don't define you. You can adopt a mindset and lifestyle of resilience.
The human experience is to overcome challenges and hard situations. This is how we grow confidence, happiness, and grow.

Pain makes you feel behind. Most people don’t understand the effort and time behind reaching results and overcoming obstacles in their life. If you have had a painful past or have experienced trauma, sometimes this can make you feel behind and feel as though something has been taken from you.
It is not that you are a “crappy person” and aren’t happy for other people, it’s merely triggering the belief that you are behind and things get taken from you.
Rewards should never prove your worth or reason for pain experienced in life.
When you have experienced a painful past, there is a NEED for the meaning behind rewards and achievements you experience.

We are here for you, always feel free to reach out if you need additional support and help. hello@traciandkayla.com
A lot of people seek help to reach their goals, but usually want to go around the key element that is influencing the behaviors and patterns that keep them stuck. No one wants a label, but if we look at the information that labels bring us in a neutral way, we can see the steps necessary to lift the blocks in our life.
You can’t avoid therapy and jump into coaching to work on success if there are certain behaviors holding you back.
You don’t have to take on a diagnosis as your identify, but if you have something that your behavior is impacted by, it is essential for you to explore the information that comes along with the label or diagnosis in a detached way to see the tools that can help you.

Happy people have routines!
We get inspired in the moment. We believe we will be inspired in the moment of action but it rarely happens, consistently.
We will talk ourselves out of the work of change every day.
Preparation routines help us take the initial inspiration and then create a plan. We no longer have to wait for inspiration to move forward. We just do the plan.

We love makeovers!
When you are looking to change your life. You can start with the outside first and then the inside follows, or you start with the inside and the outside follows.
Transformations should make you become more you.
Working on the outside helps you feel better but it doesn’t make you love yourself so there is a need to do the inside work.
If you are working on the inside work first, it helps to understand more of who you are and then you want to make sure that the outside you is an accurate reflection of the inside you.

We all want to feel special.
We talk about the show Catfish and how it documents the stories of people who fall in love with people for years but have never actually met in person. They have invested so much time in relationships hoping and dreaming on “the words” they hear.
People are great storytellers. They are great at telling you who they are. They are also good at showing you who they are, but you have to be willing to see it.
Love makes us do crazy things and logically we understand but our emotions take over and we get desperate to believe what we hear.
With love it pulls out the most desperate parts of our souls. There is a part of us that wants to believe we are the exception to the rule.

Inspiration should inspire!
Your inspiration needs to inspire you in love. You are worthy of the best. But the best isn’t usually what we think it is.
There is a trend that the inspirations are not inspiring. The inspirations need to help your beliefs in love. George Clooney isn’t going to be the dream you think it is.
DO NOT SETTLE. HOWEVER, REACH FOR INSPIRATION THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT AND BELIEVE IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU. Read more on the blog:

You cannot change people, so do you like who YOU are in this relationship?
Relationships can be so confusing. We can change who we are in love, we want to be the version of ourselves that our partner needs. When we change ourselves to make others happy, everyone is still, not happy.
We are not our most delightful self, it takes its toll on our souls to have to change or hide parts of ourselves in our significant relationships.
We become a different version of ourselves. If you are a different version, that is a problem, if you are more like yourself and a better version, that is healthy.

We love honest!!
Dating profiles are a lot like resumes, most people don’t like writing about themselves. Most people make the mistake of thinking that dating profiles are to have someone get to know you more, your dating profile should sell you.
Most of the time, there is a lot of mis-information given in the answers to the questions or categories on profiles. We all want our soul mate and get out of the dating part as quickly as possible.
People have the best of intentions and yet still make common mistakes. You don’t want to represent yourself as the best version of yourself that you were one day out of the year. You want to make sure that you are honest and realistic so that you get a true match and complement.

Implementing inspirations will often show us our blocks.
Kayla talks about how she is looking to cook more and recognized that the kitchen needed to be organized and changed to create more ease in the kitchen.
It took making meals for a few weeks to be able to see that the layout of the kitchen wasn’t the greatest for meal prep. The refrigerator was too full with things that weren’t being used daily and the cupboards were great for storage but not easy access of ingredients and supplies.

Do you have consistency in your goals?
We are here to remind you that we are two weeks into the year. No matter if you are in consistency or if you have dropped off, there is still hope.
There is an interesting theory about time. It will expand or constrict according to your beliefs about how long you need to finish your goals.
YOUR MIND INTERPRETS HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE IN YOUR PRIORITY AND YOUR ACTION. It is important to put time lines on your goals. It isn’t to set yourself up for failure. Your mind will decide that it is indefinite on when it will complete.

Surviving and thriving.
We wanted to make an important distinction between hope and optimism.
We are always talking about living with hope and inspiration. In research, optimism and hope were found to have radically different attitudes.
It is so difficult to fake positivity when you are really feeling it. We have to be real about how we truly feel.

Rest is not a 'time out'.
Rest needed to have a new definition because it felt like it was a punishment. Rest isn’t being sent to your room. Rest isn’t going to bed and sleeping all day.
If you happen to be going through a tough time or a phase of burn out, rest is very important. Stress, adrenal fatigue and being on high alert all the time takes a toll on your body and you need more rest.

Buying "things" is not "the results".
When you are looking to do something like run a marathon, getting the gear is not the effort. We get really excited about the prospect of change. You often don’t know all that you will need until you are in the process of running.
We love to plan and research. We love to go in declare that we are running in the store as we buy our results. The reality is that the planning is not the work. The research is not the work. This is the pre-work.

We are not in a race, there is plenty of time to create a life you love.
It is ok to be slow to start the new year. This is a time of fresh starts and new beginnings. Sometimes the new year can trigger perfection and the feeling of being too far behind.
It’s Day 3 of the new year and most people start dropping off of their routines. We always say if you think day 3 is bad you should see week 3. If you have perfectionistic tendencies, it won’t serve you in change. Having standards is great, but having realistic expectations on what it takes to change. It is a process. It won’t take a moment.

Can you work on your dreams even while going through a hard time? Yes! and this is how! Each day take a small step towards your goals.
Imagine what would happen if you took a small step everyday for an entire year? How would your life change? What would change?
There is a process when you are starting at the beginning. You have to train your mind just as you train your body. The small moments in and of themselves are not a big deal, but stack them together and your life will drastically change.

**Happy New Year's!!** Welcome to the New Year! Welcome to the New Decade!
In order to maintain the choices the road to success, you need a little something… motivation.
Spoiler, you are going to feel unmotivated. You are going to get tired and feel like quitting. If you are waiting to feel motivated you might as well stop the podcast here. Motivation is not a feeling. It is a choice and more of a lifestyle.

There is a difference between goal setting and wishing, and many people get confused about this and set themselves up to fail before the year has even begun. If you are goal setting, you are going to want to pick 1-3 items that you are planning and focusing on. If you are wish setting, the list goes on and on, and can start to overwhelm yourself.

There are only 76 days left of the year when this podcast was recorded. When you are reading this - there will be less. We talk about how to truly make the most out of the end of the year ... and the end of the decade.
It is time to accept some things that may hold you back in the next phase of life, and tie up loose ends that need your attention.
The best way to give yourself a leg up in your goals and results in 2020 is to truly look at what you are closing down today.
It is time for a new story, not just a new chapter.
Who will you be?
Who do you want to be?
Where are you going?
It is all up to you, let the inspiration of this podcast episode guide you.
Happiness doesn't happen once you get more of the things you think you need. It happens when you choose to make time for it. Today we talk about how to truly create happy moments for yourself this fall, or any other time to make sure that you are creating a lifestyle that fulfills you.

We are back from Europe and Kayla is officially married. We took some time to catch up with you today and are so excited to be getting back into our routines. We love you!
Doubt is truly the only thing that can stop you, which means that if you are not getting results it is your own fault. There are challenges that come up and you can overcome them, and then they are simply BS excuses. I see excuse after excuse after excuse when working with clients. You do not need a new and improved plan if you can't even achieve the current one.
In order to live with hope and inspiration, you must CHOOSE to, and then stay consistent in your commitments and routines. In my 90 Day Makeover program, I can always tell when someone is living with hope or when someone is trying to skip steps because they desperately want their result to happen fast.
How to stop doubt:
-
Have a why that motivates you.
-
Live with hope and inspiration each and every day.
If you are not living with daily hope & inspiration alongside motivation, your other only option will be to doubt your choices, routines, and actions.

Today we are going to walk you through our process for creating a routine that supports the success of your goals. We have mapped out nine steps to help you get movement towards your results. We designed a FREEBIE for you that includes 10 pages with all of the information mapped out alongside calendar timelines to guide you in designing your morning and evening routines.
WE DID MENTION THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE AN ACTION BASED PODCAST WINK.
There really is no such thing as a good routine or bad routine, it all depends on YOUR personal goal. Sure, it sounds great in theory if we all woke up at 5am and dove straight into massive productivity at work. We all google “the perfect routines” or “how to become a morning person,” but our question for you is this: Does that actually help the success of your goal OR are you trying to be perfect. Not every goal requires a routine of waking up at 5am.
_________
You can create a routine that supports the success of your goal in 9 steps.
THE 9 STEP PROCESS TO CREATE YOUR ROUTINES:
-
GET CLEAR ON YOUR GOAL.
-
TAKE AN HONEST LOOK AT YOUR STARTING POINT.
-
CREATE NEW HABITS.
-
MAP OUT THE TIMELINE.
-
GET CLEAR ON YOUR PRIORITIES, AND SET REMINDERS.
-
COLLECT HOPE AND INSPIRATION TO HELP MOTIVATE YOU.
-
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR SUCCESS.
-
TAKE ACTION, HABIT TRACK, IDENTIFY YOUR “WHY” MOTIVATION, DAILY ACCOUNTABILITY. GET STARTED.
-
FINAL CHECK. YOU WANT TO ASK YOURSELF: DOES THIS ROUTINE SUPPORT THE SUCCESS OF MY GOAL?

Episode two is here and we are diving into all things planning. Kayla has been in wedding planning mode and she of all people wishes it could all just be about the desire. Picking out the dress is not planning the wedding, haha.
READ THE FULL BLOG WITH PICTURES & HOMEWORK HERE
Imagine how much effort goes into planning a wedding.
THEY EVEN HAVE A CAREER OPTION OUT OF THIS – A WEDDING PLANNER. So many people understand the effort behind planning a wedding, even if it is only for one day. When those same people approach changing their lives, they don’t expect to place even half the effort towards changing their life.
Wedding = 1 day
Life = Forever
The amount of effort that goes into one single wedding day is intense. So we can expect that the process of changing our life is going to require massive effort and commitment each and every day.
What if you took transforming your life just as serious as planning a wedding?

Season 4 has officially launched, Happy New Year! We are so excited to celebrate our New Year (in August) with you today alongside our podcast reveal! If you have been getting our newsletter, you have been celebrating Christmas in July with us all month. You have been getting our freebies and connecting with us behind the scenes during launch month.
If you feel behind, hop on the train with us and let's start setting goals and getting clear on what we want to see happen in our life, 5 months early.
It takes time to get clear and organized in the pursuit of achieving your goals. We are dedicating the rest of the year to helping you get into momentum before January rolls around. When the "real" New Year hits, we will be posting progress rather than feeling rushed in the decisions and commitments of life transformation.
Even if you take the full 5 months to figure it all out, you will still be on time and ahead of the game in 2020. Let's get intentional about the changes you want to see happen, and make plans to ensure your success.
In this episode we catch up on some of the life changes going on behind the scenes. Kayla is getting married in a month and we are celebrating in San Francisco, Sofia, and Paris. Get ready Europe, Traci and Kayla are coming!
When it comes to implementing change while feeling behind, we tend to want to try and change everything all at once. "You can have it all, just not all at once." Intention alone is not what gets you results. You may want or wish to have it all, but EFFORT in "it all at once" is terrifying. We like to think about ourselves as cats. If you think about it, cats need to warm up slowly and trust over time. Dogs tend to trust instantly. When cats experience change, it takes weeks to recover. We don't need to become more like dogs, but we need to be more aware of who we are and what we need during the process of change.
We need to gradually implement change. We don't want ambition alone, we want to experience ambition alongside success. “In order to change your life, your mind must trust your behavior.” KAYLA'S TIP FOR GOALS & STRATEGY You can’t map out your entire life plan at once, because you are asking for change. So things will change, including your plans.
Don’t go too far into the future.
Have big dreams in mind, but take it one goal at a time. When you know what to do, you feel confident. Confidence isn’t hoping your life plan will go according to plan.
TRACI'S TIP FOR ACCOUNTABILITY & STRUCTURE Self sabotage comes in when you feel behind and so you try to do too much at once. Here we need to embrace the phase. This means getting excited about the future but not taking on too much so you set yourself up to fail.
The other self sabotage tendency is when you are not the priority in your life. It is really hard to dedicate time to a goal when you are waiting for your turn after everyone else. You can’t take care of everyone else first. This has to change to where you matter in your daily decisions.
The top two reason that people fail in keeping their results: 1. They don't commit to making their changes a lifestyle. 2. They lose momentum and consistency in their actions.
In order to achieve your results and keep them, it will require 30% strategy and 70% structure in your choices and actions.
That is why we are working together and collaborating on this podcast. We are so excited to help bring you the full solution to your success.
YOUR HOMEWORK: Be thinking about your desire. 1. What is it that you truly want? 2. What do you want to put effort towards today to achieve a specific goal? 3. If you don’t know what you actually want - what would give you the most relief?
Next Steps: * Explore The Inspired Lifestyle Shop options to help guide you in the inspiration, motivation, and support options for your New Year's goal planning.
