Monday Morning Mojo with Anna Gibbs

One of the age-old questions every human has asked since the beginning of time is: What is my purpose in life? Some people know from a young age what they were called to do while others wait for divine intervention. What many people don’t understand is that our life’s purpose is a fluid thing that changes over time as we change.

In today's episode, Anna dives deep into the concept of living a big life and embracing a mindset of growth and possibility. She explores the importance of identifying and evolving our purpose, and how a shift from a fixed to a growth mindset can open us up to new opportunities and experiences.

Everyone talks about goal setting. But what about goal achieving?

Setting goals is the easy part. It is fun to daydream about what you want in life. And in the beginning, the pursuit of our goals is exciting … until it’s not! Sometimes, the path to our goal(s) can become difficult, challenging, even boring! Limited beliefs and negative talk can get in our way too. And let’s not forget that getting consistent results requires focus, discipline and a plan.

Research shows that people who write down their goals are 80% more likely to achieve them. Simply because written goals become external and are protected from the emotions that cause us to second guess ourselves. Of course, no one can achieve your goals except for YOU but knowing what you want to achieve and breaking those goals into smaller, manageable pieces gives you something to work toward each day.

Listen in as Anna shares:

1. How goal ACHIEVERS live a bigger life than goal SETTERS.
2. How to use the Wheel of Life exercise to determine which areas of your life you feel fulfilled and which ones you want to improve.
3. The definition of SMART goals.
4. 4 questions a good accountability partner will ask you.

Quotes to Remember:

• The goal is never about where you ARE…it’s about where you want to be.

Research shows that 80% of our thoughts are negative. Are you surprised by that percentage? That means that for the majority of our waking hours, we’re bombarded with negative thoughts, either about ourselves, work, or personal lives.

So, what happens when you’re surrounded with negativity? Very often you wallow in it, much like the beloved Eeyore character from Winnie the Pooh. What we think reflects how we’re feeling, which shows outwardly in our behavior. And, as we discussed in the recent episode, Complaining is a Garbage Magnet, negative behavior can bring others down with us.

Can we change our negative thinking? Yes! That’s the beauty of our brains. WE are in control of switching those neural pathways but that is no easy task. It takes time and consistency to switch our way of thinking but YOU are fully capable of making this change.

Listen in as Anna shares:

1. How we can CHOOSE how we show up in the world.
2. How we can change our thought patterns so we don’t get stuck in negativity.
3. The benefits of an optimistic mindset.
4. How we can give our experiences a positive spin instead of focusing on the negative.

Journal Prompts:

1. How do you show up in the world?
2. What is your current impact on others?
3. How are you playing victim to your past?
4. How can you become the driver of your life?
5. What one positive thought can you think of to start your day?

Quotes to Remember:

• You are the driver of your own life, not the passenger.
• Win the day!
• Progress, not perfection.
• When you change the way you look at things, things DO change.

As an homage to author and speaker Bob Proctor, Anna dives into his teachings about the power of our minds. Bob was living proof that changing your behavior can change your life because he grew up poor and dropped out of school yet he became one of the premier teachers of the Law of Attraction and the power of thoughts.

No matter what your life circumstances right now, YOU have the power to change them. It’s not easy and it will be a test of your patience but there is always some action that you can take that will start to change the course of your life’s path.

One of the most powerful things you can start implementing is choosing your words wisely because we are always listening to what those voices are telling us. As you change your words, naturally your thoughts will begin to change. As your thoughts change, so will your feelings and behavior.
