Take Back Your Life Podcast Dianne Taylor

We all cope with so many things during each and every day and more often than not we forget to give ourselves a pat on the back for doing an amazing job with life. In this episode I introduce the concept of R.A.C.ing - Recognising, Acknowledging and Celebrating espcially the little things we get done each day.

In this episode I give you a quick overview of how the brain and body responds to stress and some quick tips to help you alleviate stress. Understanding just a little of how the brain works is really key to helping you create more peaceful days and be happier.

Stress is not a normal operating system for our body. We have become conditioned to expect and accept stress as normal. In this episode we talk about what stress looks like, how it shows up and how you can start recognising it for you, so that you can start changing how you live right now.

Do you know what your highest values are? 

Can you name your top 10 highest values in life?

If you are like me, it might be something you have never consciously thought about but your highest values are the things that drive you to do what you do each day, dictate what you actually achieve in life and they might surprise you.

If you are listening to this podcast, it is because like me you have found that you are not really where you wanted or expected to be in life and want to change things, to be more, to do more, to have more. A starting point to achieving what you want is being prepared to have a good look at what your values in life actually are and what might need to change.

Join me in this podcast in examining how you values work in life and what you can do to change them and change your outcomes.

In this episode I talk about one of my favourite thought concepts which is empty the cup.

This is a zen proverb that for me is a big part of how I approach life, how I approach challenges,  how I approach learning, and how I can be of service.

Give this episode a listen to find out how embracing this proverb allows me to approach every situation with calm and openness, allows me to be always humble and willing to learn and allows me to be present with clients and colleagues and to give my best in every situation.

For me, approaching life with an empty cup has many facets and is liberating and life-changing

In this episode I talk about one of the key concepts I learnt from a mentor Jim Fortin that everything in your life is a choice.

I will show you in this episode, how your choices create your world, how they keep you trapped but also how they can free you from the restraints and concerns you have created in your life. I will be sharing how the choices I made kept me trapped in a toxic relationship and kept me stressed and overwhelmed in every aspect of life until I made the choice to change them.

The power of choice is at the core of your life and creates the world you live in, the limits you place on yourself and the things you can achieve.
