Your life is based on the meaning you give it. You want to reframe things that limit you and your future. Choose meanings that empower you not enable you. Choose meanings that make you better not bitter. Choose meanings that help you not hinder you. See everything has happening FOR you not TO you. Power Phrase this Week: “I see difficulties and challenges as happening for me, not to me.” Quote of the Week: Hal Enrod, a Bestselling Author of the Miracle Morning said, “That is our responsibility to choose the most empowering reason for the challenges, events and circumstances of our lives.”

Self-compassion, or the practice of being kind to yourself in times of failure, pain or when you note something you don’t like about yourself instead of being self-critical, is key to practice right now to be your best more often. When we show self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness as we would to others recognizing that all humans suffer and we are not alone. We can then use tools to stop being so critical of ourselves remembering we are not alone.   This week’s Power Phrase: “I am kind to myself. I remind myself I am doing the best I can.” Quote of the Week: "You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” - Louise Hay

In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares why it is important to remember we have a negativity bias. Still, we can counteract that negativity by choosing not to believe everything we think. Instead, we can remember to see the opportunity in every difficulty.   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I choose a good attitude regardless of what I cannot control. I talk to myself not listen.”

In this episode, Dr. Cindra shares with us how we can create psychological safety in a culture in which we are a leader. Psychological safety is important because it leads to higher performance, but also people feel comfortable trying new things, asking questions, and admitting mistakes—all which leads to creativity and innovation. This helps us respond to mistakes in a positive and empowering way. Power Phrase this Week: ”I see failure and mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.” Quote of the Week: “If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.”  -Tom Watson, CEO of IBM

We can all be overcome by self-doubt. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff shares with us why self-doubt is so common and how to overcome it. Power Phrase of the Week: “I choose to see the possibilities for myself and my future.” Quote of the Week: “Fear and self-doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential.” - Brian Tracy
