02.20 - Reflection and Curiosity:
"I'm just eternally grateful that I get to share a message and talk about the stuff that fills me with curiosity. And it comes around from those moments in your life. And if you're conscious of those moments and those decisions you make, and reflection I think is that thing, when you start to reflect at those moments, you think did I make a good decision? Did I make a bad decision? What did I learn from it? That's been my biggest transformation if I think about it."
04.15 - Defining moments that have impacted your life
That's the power of connection and human connection. You never know what someone's got going on in their life.
That's why we need to be kind. I always laugh that the other stuff, the negative stuff has a better PR team. So be kind. It's just that in those moments in life, you never know what someone is going through.
11.00 - The impact stress has on your body
Stress has a huge impact on our body long term. The term is called allostatic load, which is the impact on the machine because you're going too fast and too hard the whole time.
"I can't change him, I have to change me. When I talk about change, sometimes you require that catalyst. "
13.00 - The career reinvention
In the moment you don't realise it, you just do what your instinct is. But that's when you have to take those gambles with the career transition. You have got to trust your instinct because my instinct had gone from a quiet little voice to that screaming voice saying you gotta get out, you gotta do something more with the rest of your life. You have to approach it in a whole different way. What can I learn from this?
When you transition careers, you need that piece of paper to feel a little bit bulletproof. You have to back your instinct
16.15 - Ben Crowe and the notion of being your inner fan and the inner critic.
The biggest realisation is just being aware that the voice is trainable. Most people go through life hearing this inner voice and not realising that you can actually shut it off or you can diminish it or you can change it.
The way the brain is wired is in the first five years. That's why it's critical in a child's development, the love and nurturing because it's happening the brain is wiring, not only are they learning to walk, they're learning, do I love this way? What's their condition, what's right, what's wrong?
An example is how Ben Crowe worked with Ash Barty and her inner voice to identify that she is so much more than tennis, she is an individual and that's where that power of identifying your inner voice is.
19.01 - Diminish your inner critic
Ethan Cross talks about diminishing and harnessing your inner critic in his book, Chatter.
Be aware of it and know that you don't have to listen to it because that's no longer relevant, that's the voice you heard when you were seven or eight.
It's no longer relevant to who I am as an adult. But we learn it way back when we are judged when we are young. But we're still, it's the same voice. Quite often it'll be either a mom or dad or an authority figure. And it'll be the same voice and that's just because that got wired into us.
20.30 - I am Enough
The biggest thing Ben Crow does in his work is helping his clients to say, I'm enough. So when you believe you are enough, guess what happens? That inner voice gets silenced. Gets turned down because you're no longer listening to it because you're going, no, no, I'm enough.
The power of reframing and rephrasing.
