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

What Are You Hungry For?

Years ago, when putting on a 12-week Wellness class this was the question I asked with a photo of a well-stocked open fridge and the caption that said, “What you're looking for is not in here."
 
This episode is not about physical hunger. This episode is about what you are really looking or hungry for. If it's not food then what are we really hungry for?
Mother Teresa said, "There is a terrible hunger for love." So, we can be hungry for love. We can also be emotionally and spiritually hungry, or we can hunger for knowledge, truth, justice, peace, and for meaning and purpose.
One of Les Brown's famous quotes is, “If you want to do anything worthwhile in life, you got to be HUNGRY!”
Discovering of what you are really hungry for requires lots of reflection, journaling, looking within, and is often spiritual in nature.

Flying can be a stressful experience, especially if it’s your first time. There are so many things to worry about – Will I get there early enough to get through security on time?

How far will I have to walk to get to my next flight? Will I have time?

Spring is New Beginnings

As the chill of winter fades away, and the temperatures rise, something magical happens— nature undergoes a beautiful transformation signaling the return of life and vitality. Spring is arriving! This season of renewal, rebirth, and vibrant growth holds a unique power to inspire new beginnings in all of us. Much like nature’s awakening from a long slumber, spring offers us the perfect opportunity to embrace change, shed what no longer serves us, and step into a fresh start.
 
In this episode, I’m using the metaphor of spring to relate new beginnings to our own lives. Just as the earth shakes off the remnants of winter, sprouting new life in the form of flowers, trees, and greenery, we too can view spring as a metaphor for our own new beginnings. It’s a reminder that, no matter what we’ve been through, we always have the chance to reinvent ourselves, start fresh, and grow in ways we never thought possible.
Here are 5 ways Spring aligns with new beginnings and to us.
1. Nature’s Reawakening
2. Fresh Starts and Possibilities
3. Renewal and Growth
4. Clearing Out the Old
5. Hope and Optimism
 
Remember, every ending is a new beginning in disguise. The next chapter of your life is waiting for you to write it. Take a deep breath and step forward into this season of renewal. Ask yourself: What new beginning can I embrace today? Whether it’s a small change or a major leap, spring is the perfect time to take that step. After all, just as the earth is constantly evolving, so too are you. The journey is yours to shape—so go ahead, bloom.

Your Encore Life with Lynette Reiling

Midlife doesn't have to be a crisis. Aging does not have to be viewed as a decline, diminishment, or deterioration. Midlife can be the transition to your encore life, a new beginning to your best life. Make time to explore who you are so you can live your best life during your second half of life.
In this episode, Lynette Reiling, discusses her book, Your Encore Life: Take Center Stage for Life's Second Half. Lynette asks questions and provides exercises for you to be the director in authoring your life script for your next act in life.
We all go through transitions in life: relationships start and end, job changes, kids or no kids, empty nest, aging parents. Lynette talks about three phases of transition: endings, neutral zone and new beginnings. We have to let go of what we did in the first half of our life--what we did for others, our identity, our conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs so we can enter the neutral zone of inward discovery and embracing who we are now and who we want to be to step on the stage of new beginnings, our second half of life.
The neutral zone is a time of being. A time to reflect and explore. A time to realign from our inside out, just like when a caterpillar changes into a butterfly.

Meanest Mom in the World

Do you remember thinking that your mom was the “meanest mom in the world”? I remember feeling and thinking that on numerous occasions growing up, especially during my teenage years. I also remember my mom proudly displaying an excerpt from the Ann Landers column in the newspaper entitled, “Meanest Mother in the World” on the side of the refrigerator. Does anyone else remember that?
 
In today’s episode, I’m going to read that excerpt and share five benefits I see now as an adult and a parent myself of having and proudly wearing the badge, “meanest mother in the world”. But you could add Dad to that—Meanest Mom or Dad or both, in the world, because my dad also played this role.
These 5 benefits are:
1. Discipline and Responsibility
2. Strong Moral Values
3. Work Ethic
4. Independence and Self-Sufficiency
5. Long Term Success
 
I would love to hear your “meanest mom or dad in the world” stories. Please share them below!

Change is Good

People resist change. Why? Change is often seen as a bad thing. That there is something wrong with us. But it doesn’t have to be. Change can be good.
In this episode, I will define what change is, talk about a few reasons why people resist change and some benefits of change.
Change means to make or become different, to alter or modify; to replace, substitute or exchange with something else that is newer or better, to turn or convert from one state or form to another.
Change is inevitable. View change as progress, taking small steps and as an opportunity or new beginning.
Some benefits of change include: personal growth, flexibility and life improvements.
Ask yourself some questions including: What do I need to get better at? What skills do I want to develop? Then make a plan to get a little better each day.

Sensory Leadership with Bente Vosteen

Wouldn't it be great if we all got back into touch with our inner child? The you inside that is full of light, energy, curiosity, and life? You can!
In this episode, Bente Vosteen shares how she helps adults uncover and rediscover who they are through sensory coaching so they can be better individuals and leaders.
We all have a light inside of us that wants to shine. Getting back into touch with who we are, our inner child, is easier when we use all our senses to reconnect with
our past, connect with our future desires and bring them into the awareness of the present moment.
By eliminating distractions, changing up the environment, remembering our favorite memories as a child, creating a safe space for exploration and experiential learning, each one of us can shape our reality into who we want to become. Each one of us can be leaders--leaders of ourselves and lead others. Start by reflecting on and sharing, 'what I learned today'.
 
Bente Vosteen is a Mindvalley certified life coach who is dedicated to helping leaders and teams reconnect with their innate sense of purpose and curiosity to create work environments that inspire innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth.
