Positive Solutions 4 Life-Transforming Your Mind & Body from the Inside Out

Living a Radiant Life with Christine Howard

In this episode, Christine Howard shares how she transformed her life from one that was externally driven and out of alignment into a more authentic life focused on grace, ease, joy and flow.
Notable points during the conversation:
Intuition is knocking but are you listening?
Ask your body, 'What are you feeling? What do you need?' Then listen, acknowledge, validate and take inspired action.
Goals are often made based on our conditioning and the expectations of others or our environment, which are external. Internally driven goals are from the heart, soul, and intuition and often bring more joy and energy to you.
"When you pay attention to life. Life pays attention to you."
Importance of a self care routine that is flexible and ebbs and flows with you.
 
Christine is a dynamic leadership-lifestyle mentor, speaker, and author whose visionary energy ignites transformation. A natural leader and catalyst for profound change, she inspires ambitious mid-lifers to break free from the status quo and create a Radiant Reality that aligns with their true essence. Christine is the author of the book, Radiant Achievement.

How to Get Out of a Funk

Have you ever had a day, or maybe even a few days in a row, where you just felt off? Maybe you were tired, sluggish, and unmotivated, like you couldn’t get yourself to do anything—even the things you normally love to do? We've all been there. Whether it's a temporary rut or a recurring slump, feeling stuck in a funk can be frustrating.
In this episode, Peggy shares ways you can break free from a funk and start feeling like yourself again. Getting out of a funk requires a combination of self-awareness, reflection, and taking action. Sleep, food, and exercise are foundational, but so are your routine, the activities you choose to engage in, and the clarity you have about your goals.
You are the expert of you. You know what helps you feel good. So take responsibility, be proactive, and choose to do what’s necessary to feel your best. The next time you catch yourself in a funk, remember: you have the tools to shift your mindset, take care of your body, and get back on track.

4 Truths with Terry Tucker

Terry is a speaker, author, and international podcast guest on the topics of motivation, mindset, and self-development.
In this episode, Terry shares stories of how athletics and life experiences have taught him the principles and truths on how to be successful, which are intertwined in his book, Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life.
The 4 Truths include:
1. Control your mind, or it will control you.
2. Embrace the pain and difficulty we all experience in life and use it to make you stronger and more resilient.
3. What you leave behind is what you weave in the hearts of other people.
4. As long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated.
 
Terry gives a great exercise on figuring out what you can control so you can put your energy and resources into those things instead of things you cannot control. He talks about the importance of communication and the formula 7-38-55 in which he learn during his law enforcement days, and how a professor challenged him to go deeper in conversations with others in asking just three questions.

How To Be A Better Person

In this world that seems to focus on negativity, violence and putting ourselves first, how can we be better people? How can we get into the season of Thanksgiving, gratitude, and giving?
Maybe through a 2 true stories of ordinary people, Marty and Johnny, who made a lasting impact on others through small acts and by showing up as themselves.
In this episode, Peggy shares the story of Marty, told by V.J. Smith, in his book, The Richest Man in Town and of Johnny the Bagger. Both stories are stories of customer service, but really shows us all how to be better people.
Lessons from Marty:
Relationships matter most in life.
Try to do a little more.
Only you can make you happy.
Lessons I take away from both:
You can create a ripple effect on others.
You can start with a small act of kindness.
Listen to your heart and to others.
Do what is authentic and genuine to you.
Be Sincere.
Let your intentions and actions come from your heart.
Repeat every day.

The Person in the Mirror

Every problem you are facing starts with the person in the mirror. I heard this statement recently and it really stuck with me, and then it made me think of Michael Jackson’s song, “Man in the Mirror”.
How many times have you looked at yourself in the mirror and wondered, How did I get here?
Life is full of excuses and choices. Dr. Andy Galpin said, "The aging you want tomorrow begins with the choices you make today.”
Who do you want to be 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now?
In Dr. Joe Dispenza’s book, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, he shows through science that when you live from the future, from a place of who you want to be, you will rewire your brain to match the person you want to become. This is the same concept that Dr. Benjamin Hardy talks about in his book, Be Your Future Self Now.
Our future self begins with the choices we make today.
Start living your future now.
Start by looking at yourself in the mirror and being honest by acknowledging you are both the problem and the solution.
Choose your future self.
Acknowledge your past behaviors, thoughts, experiences, and the meanings you gave them are dictating and influencing your present and your future.
Choose behaviors and thoughts that are congruent with your future self.
Be ok with being uncomfortable, having hard conversations, saying no, and doing things differently in order to retrain your brain and others to your new future reality.
Repeat.
Look at the person in the mirror and choose to be your future self now.
