The Four Agreements Journal Prompts Worksheet

In this episode, we explore the differences between a growth mindset, where individuals believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and perseverance, and a fixed mindset, where individuals believe that their abilities are ingrained and cannot be changed.
 
There is a ton of information about mindset out in the media and some of it can be a bit confusing. Here we’ll discuss the impact of mindset on our approach to challenges, failure, and learning. And how cultivating a growth mindset can lead to greater resilience, motivation, and ultimately, success as we explore the strategies discussed in renowned Psychologist Carol Dweck’s, best-selling book, Mindset – The New Psychology of Success. Dr. Dweck’s ground-breaking research revolutionizes our understanding of human potential and the power of our beliefs about intelligence and success.  
 
Debbie and Dave share personal stories about their development of a growth mindset and how it has impacted their lives in a profound way. They also talk about the steps for identifying whether you have a fixed or growth mindset and how to transition to a growth mindset inspired by Carol Dweck’s research. Discover how you can unlock your full potential for growth and achievement through a mindset makeover.

25 Growth Mindset Practices Worksheet

In this episode, we delve into the art of self-care and explore how to build a tool kit of practices and alternative therapies that not only create joy, balance and ease but ensure healthy aging and managing inflammatory responses so you can remain at your very best. Self-care can often be misconstrued as self-indulgence, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It means taking care of yourself so you can stay healthy, you can do your job, you can help and care for others, and you can do all the things you need to accomplish in any given day.
 
Debbie interviews Kendra Raymond, a Master Healer/Wellness Coach who uses a combination of self-care practices, yoga, traditional fitness modalities, body work, and other forms of energy healing to develop personalized programs for the unique needs of each of her clients. Employing her keen intuition, knowledge of anatomy, a lifetime of experience working through her own injuries and ailments, and one-on-one concierge wellness with clients, she will bring you to your personal balance with efficiency.
 
Debbie and Kendra discuss their personal stories around self-care and self-advocacy and how their practices, rituals and alternative therapies promote a sense of empowerment, confidence, and resilience. When individuals prioritize self-care, they are better able to manage stress, maintain physical health, and enhance emotional and spiritual well-being. This leads to increased self-esteem and overall satisfaction with life.

Looking for that fountain of youth for living a longer and healthier life? If so, in this episode we delve into the latest insights on longevity and explore the fascinating science and practical tips from Dr. Peter Attia’s groundbreaking book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. In here, he shares evidence-based strategies for optimizing health and preventing chronic disease.
Debbie and Dave highlight some of the components that are crucial to longevity outlined in the book such as exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep, and emotional health. Exercise improves your circulation and brain function, while a well-rounded diet, including good quality protein, healthy fats, and caloric restriction, can help you maintain muscle mass and overall health. Prioritizing your sleep and creating a consistent routine promotes physical and cognitive performance. Your emotional health is just as vital as addressing issues like depression or trauma and can contribute to your overall well-being. By focusing on all of these areas together, you can work toward a fulfilling, active, and healthy life and that fountain of youth that we all strive for.
