Enlightenment of Change Connie Whitman

“The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them.” – Steve Maraboli . I all too often hear my clients say things like, “I have no choice with X situation, so I just put my head down and keep working.” This always makes me pause because I have learned that we always have a choice, yet sometimes it may feel like we are victims of our circumstances or situations. 
The choices before us may not be easy to see, understand, or navigate, but there is always a choice because we are in control of our own lives, businesses, or careers. 
My guest this week is back for a second time, and we are going to explore the notion of how to move from victim to victor.

“Success is never a straight line, and it will never be. Part of achieving that goal are the hardships along the way.  When it gets difficult, it is often right before you succeed.” – Chris Darrett
 
Lately, I have heard many of my clients share that they feel overwhelmed by their daily tasks. The workload due to organizational changes is such that everything feels like a priority, and the working hours go from 40 to 50 or 60 hours per week.  They are asking for help to fit everything in and for their efforts to make a difference for their teams and organizations and personal growth.  My guest and I will dig into being overwhelmed and burnt out and discuss real strategies to help you move from surviving to thriving.

“Balance is not better time management, but better boundary management.  Balance means making choices and enjoying those choices.” – Betsy Jacobson. Lately, many people in their 30s have asked me how I was able to start a business, raise my two boys (who played travel hockey from the age of 5), and maintain a marriage for 32 years. 
The short answer is that I just put one foot in front of the other. Truly, there was no master's plan when I was in my 30s, knowing how to create a wonderful business and life.  I’ve learned to set clear boundaries with every choice, but that has come over time. 
This is why I chose this quote for today. It always boils down to boundaries and choices. We are the only ones who can control our future, so setting clear boundaries that you can live with is crucial.

“When you begin to talk in stories, your black-and-white words turn into color.  Your drab requests turn into a mission.  People find you to be more compelling.  And once that happens, others will see that stories work, and they’ll start telling stories, too.”  – Annette Simmons

“Decide which direction you are going in and take action. One decision at a time, one moment at a time.” — Akiroq Brost. I chose this quote today because you have heard me end my podcast episodes with the notion that learning new information is a beautiful thing. Doing nothing with that new knowledge and not taking action is a choice you and I get to make every day.  
 
It's not uncommon to hear of people who strongly desire to change their lives, seek knowledge, and then do nothing with the information they've learned. I know I am an action-taker.  Are you an action taker to create the change you are seeking? 
 
Today, I will discuss WHY we sabotage the change we’re seeking with my guest so that we can be aware of how it happens. Hopefully, this will help us keep moving forward.

“Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open.” - B.K.S. Iyengar. I have changed many habits over the past 20 years, where I practice mind, body, and spirit daily so I and my business can thrive. It took me a long time to consider self-care a necessity, not a luxury.  Initially, I thought taking time for myself was selfish, and I felt like I was letting all the people around me, including my family, down.   
 
We are all works in progress.  We must keep reiterating to build our best habits and sustain a healthy, happy, long life.
