Go Reflect Yourself Podcast

The Power of Choice with Pejman Ghadimi

Many people struggle with being in the present moment, or for me…I've struggled with the wondering squirrel brain!  They’re told to just meditate and life will then be ‘great’.  Although meditation is very positive and powerful, it’s not always easy, especially when you’re not used to it. Are there other forms of ‘meditation’ that can be powerful? What is mindfulness and how does this relate to meditation? These are questions I have wondered and have been studying for some time to fully understand.  For each of us, it’s a continuous learning curve, however, I’ve created a few definitions and discoveries of my own. The main discovery is centered around connection and emotional management. One of my ‘tag lines’ is, in order to connect, you must reflect.  This statement has varied meanings, but overall, it means connecting with yourself, then being able to connect with others. But in order to do so, you must reflect on how you’re showing up and who you are in all moments and situations. For me, this means being able to get clarity around connecting with myself and around understanding my emotions in all scenarios, first. Then responding. This isn't easy to do, but with practice, it can easier and more part of your routines.  In today’s episode of THE GO REFLECT YOURSELF PODCAST we will explore connected mindfulness and what it means. The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast ——- To truly have the life you want; the career, house, family, relationships, car, lifestyle, wealth, freedom, you name it….you must learn what success is and where it comes from, starting with how you think.

Your host, Heather J. Crider, CEO of Digital Architect Media, a high-performance strategist, neurocoach, author, and speaker, talks today about connecting with your mind by understanding mindfulness.   What you will learn from today’s episode. In order to connect, you must REFLECT. What is mindfulness? How to connect in all moments. Developing a response-based action, versus reactive. Emotional Management Should you meditate? Who should meditate? Are there different kinds of mindfulness?

The Meaning of Connected Mindfulness

Does the image of yourself align with how you really feel about yourself? There are buzz words being thrown around all the time about being your ‘authentic’ self or showing up fully. The first time I heard someone say “show up and play full out or go home”, I was honestly offended. I didn’t realize what she meant by this and I was like “You Go Home!” (childish I know!) But that was where my mindset was at the time.  Even though I ‘thought’ I had a growth mindset, I was quite limited and fixed. There were so many feelings I had and ways of ‘being’ I wanted to become. But my old beliefs were strong.  VERY STRONG. They kept me comfortable. They kept me living the words I was saying and supporting my actions (which were not helping me become or achieve who or what I wanted). I had to do some deeeeep reflection and understand some real truths about myself. Once I did.  I started showing up fully and playing full out! I started to FEEL more in alignment with WHO I wanted to become.  I started to believe in who I was. And I started becoming who I wanted to be…I was now more of an authentic person. But how do you achieve this state of being? You have to: Reflect Discover your core strengths Discover the stories in your head Discover your true values and BELIEVE in yourself. HOW do you do these things? Listen to today’s episode to help discover more!

Core Authenticity with Jeff Koziatek

Have you ever thought about someone who just looked like they had all their ‘stuff’ together…that no matter what they did, it just seemed perfect?   Then only to compare yourself and feel like a fraud or an impostor…?  ?‍♀️I’ll raise my hand here because I’ve struggled with this…more than I care to admit. When we start to peel back some of the masks we wear, it’s hard to admit that we don’t feel our authentic selves.   In fact, it’s hard to admit that some days, putting on a mask and pretending to be someone else is the only thing that gets us through the day.  It doesn’t have to be this hard. But to NOT feel like an impostor, understanding how you feel and how you’re showing up is key.  But first, know, you’re not alone.  I always thought I was the only person who had these thoughts and feelings. This is why I recorded this episode of Go Reflect Yourself to discuss impostor syndrome.  Please do me a favor, check out the episode and let me know what you think! The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast To truly have the life you want; the career, house, family, relationships, car, lifestyle, wealth, freedom, you name it….you must learn what success is and where it comes from, starting with how you think.

Your host, Heather J. Crider, CEO of Digital Architect Media, high-performance strategist, neurocoach, author, and speaker, discusses Impostor Syndrome in today's episode.  What you will learn from today’s episode. What is impostor syndrome? Impostor syndrome comes from a negative place in our heads.  When you focus on your heart and focus on serving others, you can be a light rather than being stuck.  Are you caring about helping others?  Comparing yourself to someone else’s success is wasted time and effort. YOU are the only YOU. You are unique and valuable.  You give others from your heart; even when you are wearing a mask, it won’t be received as a mask. How to stop comparing yourself to others. Why false beliefs will keep you unfulfilled. Self-awareness is difficult but necessary to grow.  No matter what your circumstances, your choices, or your past has been, YOU ARE NOT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES!   Tune in and as you watch or listen to this special episode.

Spark Your Inner Brilliance For Results with Simon T. Bailey

In order to truly have the life you want; the career, house, family, relationships, car, lifestyle, wealth, freedom, you name it….you must learn what success is and where it comes from, starting with how you think. Welcome to The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast where we provide 60-second brain-based strategies for your success; in all key areas of your life, including wealth, health, business, relationships, etc.  Go Reflect Yourself was created after years of being a corporate employee as well as an independent business owner.  Throughout all of those years, I learned that no matter what level of success people had achieved, and specifically financial success, typically they were still missing something, missing true joy, well-being, and fulfillment. I’ve spent a career helping business owners, leaders and entrepreneurs learn the skills needed to discover their inner brilliance, and that’s how Go Reflect Yourself was born…and my goal is to help as many as possible learn the necessary skills to achieve ultimate fulfillment and wellbeing. In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Barbara Gustavson about her perspective and journey in also helping others live boldly into their true selves. Barbara is the founder of Discover Next Step, a certified leadership and a brain health coach. She works with purpose-driven teams where she guides them to be more fulfilled in their roles no matter what challenges they are facing. She is the author of “Permission to be BOLD” and co-author of “Breaking Average: The Seven Critical Factors to Team Strong Leadership.” In this episode of Go Reflect Yourself Barbara dropped some amazing nuggets on how to love yourself and how to give yourself permission to be bold. A few key takeaways from this talk: Have a mission in each season of your life. Reflect on the traps we get into and how to ask yourself the tough questions. How badly do you want to live your life? When you have a resistance to journaling, don’t make it a task, do it only when you choose to and it feels right.  Start with a question. We all have masks.  When we start to recognize them, ask them why they are there.  Give them a personality and learn how to let go of expectations for them to disappear entirely.  In this process, you will find the masks will come around less and less. Understanding your brain type will help uncover what to focus on and why your behavior is what it is. Make non-negotiable appointments on your calendar for reset and Sanity retreats.  This is a recharge time.  If you cannot get away, at least get out of your normal environment for a few hours.      Tune in and as you watch or listen to this special episode.  Pause every 5-10 minutes and mindfully reflect on what you just heard.  Write down your thoughts, then yawn and stretch before proceeding. A great book to help cope with uncertainty. Welcome To Your Crisis. https://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Your-Crisis-Power-Create/dp/031616724X Summary of the book: We aren’t the same before and after a significant event.  Reflect on who was I and who am I now.     2 Minute Strategy: Based upon David Allen’s Getting Things Done https://gettingthingsdone.com/ Barbara offers a free checklist on her website: 'Give Yourself Permission’ guide for busy supporters and helpers.

In today’s episode your host, Heather J. Crider, CEO of Digital Architect Media, high-performance strategist, neurocoach, author, and speaker, interviews world-class adventurer, author, and speaker, Roz Savage.  So often we desire to have an amazing quality of life. One where we are firing on all cylinders in each key area; personal, financial, professional, etc. However, it doesn’t always work out that we get all we desire. Maybe life is great personally, but not so great financially, or vice versa. Do we notice what’s going on? Do we ignore our dissatisfaction? How are these ‘imbalances’ affecting all areas of our lives? Even amongst times when stress is higher and uncertainty is all around us, this is the perfect time to reflect on who we are and how we show up. It’s a perfect time to start and examine all areas of our life and more importantly, our reactions. This is when we must stop and ask some tough questions. Are we really happy? Are we living a life that fulfills us? Are we sabotaging our success with stories in our heads to protect us from certain emotions? Let’s face it, asking these questions can be hard work sometimes. Even more so, when we feel overwhelmed or especially uncertain about our futures, how do we even start to ask these questions? Listen to this episode on The Go Reflect Yourself Podcast where Roz Savage, a former management consultant, started a journey with some simple questions about her future. Once she started reflecting, she realized the life path she was on was not one that filled her up. Her journey led her to a radical career change becoming a world-class adventurer embarking on voyages of long periods of solitude, becoming the first (and so far, only) female to row solo across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.  She had to redefine her comfort zone on a daily basis and reach deep into her inner sources of strength, self-discipline, and commitment.  Listen now to learn more about Roz’s story as well as how to embrace solitude, increase resilience, and stretch beyond your comfort zone for long-lasting change.   In this episode, we discuss the power of solitude and how to start self-reflecting to learn more adaptability, resilience, and how to survive amongst the worst storms we encounter.   In this episode of Go Reflect Yourself, Roz and I uncover what it takes to make courageous reflective decisions.  What you’ll learn: Why you should take time to journal and reflect How to succeed by creating a life of your dreams Why success depends on your ability to have awareness How to enhance your awareness How to listen to your intuition How to survive in solitude How to self-reflect and learn resilience    Tune in and as you watch or listen to this special episode.  Pause every 5-10 minutes and mindfully reflect on what you just heard.  Write down your thoughts, then yawn and stretch before proceeding.   To learn more about Roz Savage, visit her website www.rozsavage.com Curator of TEDxStroudWomen: http://tedxstroudwomen.com/ Doctoral candidate, University of Middlesex: “Transformative Leadership in a Climate of Disruption” Founder of The Sisters Global www.TheSisters.Global Yale World Fellow www.linkedin.com/in/rozsavage Author “The Gift of Solitude” If there is something you hear in this episode that inspires you, please leave a comment or submit a contact us form and tell me all about it, I’d love to hear from you.
