    Dr. Benjamin Hardy: It's all About Creating Your Future Self

    “I prefer the future predicting my behavior rather than my past, I think that’s a more intentional way to live than being on autopilot.”     - Dr. Benjamin Hardy There comes a time in every new podcasters life when you get that first “dream” guest… we have our first one TODAY, Dr. Benjamin Hardy! The first time I came across Benjamin's work I was struck by it, it resonated, held truth, and recognized the "human" in the process of growth and transformation and how that can work for us rather than against us. There was something special about this guy and the courage and authenticity with which he was showing up to the world. I can joyfully say that finally meeting him confirmed all that. You've probably stumbled upon his work somewhere - thru his articles/blog (read in places like Forbes, Big Think, The Ladders, Inc. by over 100 million people), his book Willpower Doesn't Work, and his TedX talks (check out the 100% rule). Today, Benjamin releases his new book Personality Isn't Permanent and I promise you, this book is a game changer. His premiss? Forget about what and who personality tests tell you you are, you are not limited by that. In fact, we are not limited by our traumas, our past, where we are today, the people in our lives, our perceived "identity"... none of it. His invitation?  It's time to create your future self, and in doing so, release yourself from all that limitation.  Given that Jill and I coined the phrase PlayCreate Forward, you can imagine that we love this book and have a lot of alignment with Benjamin on this. We love that this book is an actual guide to the steps you can take to start living into your future self - he doesn't just talk about the way, he shows you the way. I believe this book has significant value in the context of the major transformation we are universally undergoing right now. Will be curious what you think on this! Ready to stop overvaluing your current identity and personality so you can step into something that will bring you so much more joy and transformation? Today's podcast is for you. Ready for this week's challenge? It's all about doing some work with your future self. THIS IS REALLY POWERFUL STUFF! Listen in to learn how.

    VISUALIZATION: Transformation-creating listening skills (Exercise 2 of 5)

    Our email yesterday had some formatting issues, apologies for that. Maybe that was a happy accident though... our communication didn't come thru as well as it could have because communication is so much more than just words. It's how they are formatted, the tone of them and everything else they are surrounded with. That's our focus for Day 2. Listening from all the places we hear from, not just our ears. Imagine if we all approached our listening a bit more like this puppy... ears open, eyes and body language intently focused on the person or people communicating with us, heart open to receive, no preconceived notions, mouth closed. What might we hear, what might we understand that we didn't before? How might this way of listening shift our ability to understand? And how might this way of listening also help others understand us better? Using our voice is incredibly important and we'll do a whole adventure on that too... it's much easier to be heard by others, however, when they know we do everything in our power to listen to them, to understand them.  If you haven't listened to Day 1 yet, we highly recommend you do that first. These will all be around 10 minutes, short and sweet, but powerful. We are always looking to create conversations and explore together, so PLEASE ;-) be sure to share your experiences with us via Facebook or Instagram. Tell us what’s working for you, what’s not. What aha’s come up. Let’s explore this together and all listen and learn from each other.
