Getting out of rut




Even after 18 years of really working on myself, and successfully building one of the top Self Development and Mindset podcasts in the world…


Check out the video below 👇 


It’s important that everyone understands that I go through the same struggles that you do.


That’s why in today's episode I am going to share some of my personal experiences and super 7 simple techniques that I follow whenever I find myself in a rut and need out QUICK, and more importantly…


These simple 7 steps can actually PREVENT yourself from repeatedly falling into a deep rut to begin with:


1. Take action.


Whether that's through exercise, or going to Starbucks to get your caffeine fix for the day, or any other means. Inaction will only lead to more inaction, so shift your focus to moving and taking action.


2. Take small steps towards your goals.


Stop thinking about everything you need to do and try to focus on one thing at a time.


3. Celebrate your small wins along the way.

A great way to use gratitude journals. 

This will help you continue building the momentum necessary to keep moving FORWARD.


4. Turn off your phone and other electronics that may distract you when you’re working on something that’s important to you.


One thing I love to do every day for my mental health is read. I have recently gone back to reading physical books every single day and meditation is a great way to start your day AWAY from electronic devices and the forces of the internet.


5. Just focus on the next 60 seconds.


This may sound crazy, but by just breaking down your tasks into smaller steps that can be done in short spurts of time… it will make it easier to focus and be clear on what you want to do and need to do next.


6. Ride the momentum.


Once you start taking action, the momentum will start to build, making it easier to move from task to task.


7. Get yourself around some people that are good for you. People that  are positive and supportive. 


It is important to get around other people that can help you move towards what you want to achieve. Surround yourself with people who will support and encourage you to actually be the best version of yourself possible..


By implementing these seven tips into your daily habits and shifting your behavior like this, you'll be able to get out of even the deepest rut and make progress towards your goals.


Remember, being motivated comes from taking action, so take the first step and start making changes today.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...

Building a resilient child

  As much as we would love to shield our kids from the harder parts of life, sadly we can’t keep them from facing challenges, big and small. I believe it is important to teach kids how to handle challenges in life like I did. What we can do, however, is teach our kids the skills of resilience. I’ve been through a lot as a child and lost a sibling through suicide in 1995 and there was nothing for children back in 1995 they swept it under the carpet but it’s important we actually learn ways to overcome these traumatic experiences. Resilience is what helps us humans cope when times get tough. Although the term ‘ resilience ’ is talked about a lot these days, it’s not always well understood. It doesn’t mean simply putting on a brave face or learning not to care about what happens to us. It means facing the negative situations with courage. It’s about being able to recognise that some things in life are hard. And it’s ok to have big feelings about that.  When we can accept our fee...

  How to move on from setbacks Bounce back better with these 5 science-backed strategies None of us sail through life without some drama. Sure, it can feel like some people experience more hardship than others but think about the people you know. Really know. Chances are, most of them struggle with something. The best we can do is work on how we respond to challenges. These science-backed strategies are a good place to start. 1. Acceptance This doesn't mean you agree with the situation, but you can acknowledge it as your current reality. This helps you to stop dwelling on what could have been and start moving towards what can be. 2. Let go of the past Holding onto disappointment and tragedy for example suicidal death of a loved one.
