Ever get to the end of the day wondering how you never got done what you planned to do? Whether it was the workout or the activity or the errand or the work, we just didn't do it. Maybe we have an excuse or maybe we just ignored it so we could pretend we didn't have to face it. And when you find yourself living this reality, do you start the negative self talk and forget how to master your mindset. Lindsey House, host of Direction Not Perfection Podcast is here to encourage us all to keep moving forward in our confidence and positivity one next right step at a time. Let's do this for ourselves and for our families.
Let's grow,
Jennifer

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE!
Confidence and stress are on a teeter-totter; When our stress is up, our confidence is down. And when our confidence is up, our stress is down.
Tackle the stress component and this may feel more tangible than changing your self-talk.
Monitor the negative words you speak to yourself. Reduce these words so it can be believable to your brain.
When we project a negative thought on someone else, sometimes it’s actually the thought we want to say to ourselves. Instead, try to make an observation and gently shift your own thoughts towards others.
Think of the next right step as taking a step to earn a key to unlock a new door we need to walk through.
Sometimes knowing when to let something come off of your plate can be just as powerful as taking the next right step.
We need to be quiet enough to hear what the answer is for the next right thing
We’re not human “doers”. We are human “beings” and we need to build in the rest and reprieve time as well
Teachable quotes: “You’re always one decision away from a totally different life.”
Make sure our priorities are in the right place
What door is your one decision going to open simply because you made that choice?
“Direction, Not Perfection”
“Perfection” is our own perception
What if you weren’t fighting for “perfection”?
“Direction” is a little by little makes a lot
What is aligning with our values?
Resilience is the capacity to overcome hardship quickly and when we know what we are fighting for, we build our resilience.
