"The problem with false beliefs is we have to make them come true in order to be true to ourselves."-Dr. Maxwell MaltzThe content in this episode is pulled from Dr. Maxwell Maltz's book Psycho-Cybernetics.Here's a simple definition of "False Beliefs".These are typically "I am" statements that are untrue when you really evaluate their meaning. For example, I am bad at math. I am ugly. I don’t have a mechanical type of mind. I am not smart. I am unworthy of success. I don’t deserve success. If you heard someone say any of these statements, you would very likely push back on them and suggest they rethink the statement. Yet, we consistently have statements like these that we say and are committed to in our lives.Here’s how this could show up in your life. Does something always happen to you when success is within reach? Do you secretly feel unworthy of success or like you don’t deserve it?Perhaps, you are uncomfortable around other people? Do you feel inferior to some people? Maybe you believe other people are ho

In this episode on the SAGE Mindset Podcast, I interview Derek Barnes of D&D insurance.

When you wake up in the morning, what do you say about yourself? How do you view yourself when you look in the mirror?We all have false beliefs that we speak into our lives that are making a powerful impact on us. More than anyone or anything else, we hear our own voice and own opinion. Your opinion is the most important one in the world to you. When you speak false beliefs into your life or hear them from other people and begin to believe them yourself, they will stick to your heart. When you purposefully choose the words that you speak about yourself and filter decisions through, you are empowering yourself to amazing levels of growth and accountability. But this takes work. In this episode, I walk you through a process to help you discover and apply your values to your heart. I truly believe for life change to start, let your values stick to your heart. Please click here to get access to the Values PDF I talk about in this episode.Episode PDFIf you found this episode to be helpful, please subscribe and sha

We all have blind spots. They come in many different forms. Some of us are blind to the bad posture we have, we can be blind to the tone in our voice when we talk, maybe an attitude of our hearts, or a thinking pattern. These blind spots can be physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I recently had an experience that highlighted a blind spot of mine. It came from a strange source, a 3 minute YouTube video. But it opened my eyes to my Jealousy blind spot. In this episode, I challenge myself and you to become more self-aware and work towards discovering your elusive blindspots. This isn't easy work, but from my experience with this recent discovery, it is 100% worth the effort. Music on this episode by:Delctatio - Our SecretI appreciate you listening to the SAGE Mindset podcast.

Fear is a powerful emotion. We all face it every day in big and small ways. In my studies of personalities, I've discovered there are patterns of fears that people experience and how those fears limit them individually. With the 4 people types of DISC, each type has a unique set of fears that impacts their decision making and growth. The great thing about fear is understanding it and acknowledging our fears can bring great breakthroughs personally and professionally. In this episode, I talk about what the fears are for each type and strategies to overcome/use these fears for personal development and growth. If you are interested in learning more about the course I mentioned in the podcast, you can visit the webpage here and also check out the free webinar on Discovering What Moves You.Thanks for listening.

We all have obstacles we need to overcome. The better we understand what moves us, the easier it is to handle the challenges.As someone who has had over 5 years of consistent soreness and pain, I can attest to the importance of knowing yourself and understanding how I react to pain and challenges. If you have fears, doubts, or frustrations at work or at home, the better you know how you are "wired" the easier it will be to respond rightly to those situations. When you take the time to pause and reflect. To find solitude and quietness in your life, you will discover what moves you in life. If you don't you will miss out on opportunities and not reach your potential in various areas of your life. When you get clarity, prosperity follows. Prosperity is not about your finances but your fulfillment. The clarity in your life allows you to overcome obstacles and take on new challenges because you know yourself at a deeper level. This was my story when I stepped away from my HR job. My life was not a reflection of my

How do you deal with stress? We all experience it, we all struggle with stress what's your approach?In this episode, I share an experience I had that helped me destress and declutter my mind. This unique experience highlighted for me the importance of creating a habit of finding a way to get away every day.We all need to find a way to get away. There's not one simple solution to your stress but the more self-aware you become the easier it is to develop habits and a mindset to help you take control of the stress in your life. There are two different approaches to clearing your mind and de-stressing. You can do it with a calm approach or with an aggressive approach. Meditation, deep breathing, and the like are on the calm side of the continuum. While sports, running, and hiking are on the aggressive side of the continuum. To download the 10 Ways You Can Destress And Relax Your Mind Today PDF, click the link below.Free PDF DownloadAs I mentioned in the podcast, please share your thoughts on how you get clarity a
