    3 Steps to Overcome Inaction and Get Moving | EP. 252

    Have you ever had something you needed to do, knew you needed to do it, and still couldn't bring yourself to get it done? I've been dealing with this myself while trying to edit content for my business, Darshaun Smith Productions. Instead of continuing to put it off, I've been working on understanding why I'm struggling to take action and figuring out how to break the cycle. In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I share 3 steps I've been using to overcome inaction and get the ball rolling. 1. Recognize the Problem. Before anything can change, you have to acknowledge that something isn't working. Identify what you're avoiding and accept that you need to do something differently. 2. Document What's Happening. Write down what's been going on, how you're feeling, and why you think you're struggling to take action. Understanding your thoughts and emotions can help you identify what's holding you back and find a way forward. 3. Start Small and Build Momentum. Stop waiting until you have everything figured out. Take a small step, act before you can overthink yourself out of it, and figure out the next move as you go. You don't need the entire plan to get started—you just need to get moving. Although I share my experience with editing content for my business, these steps can apply to almost anything you're struggling to get done, whether it's pursuing a goal, starting a project, building a business, or making a change in your life. You don't overcome inaction by sitting around thinking about taking action. You overcome it by understanding what's holding you back and doing something about it. You don't need to have everything figured out. Start small, build momentum, and keep moving forward.

    The BAR Method: How Beliefs Really Change | THE POSITIVITY HOUR PODCAST EP. 250

    Have you ever tried to convince someone to see things differently, only to realize that no matter what you say, they aren't changing their mind? Sometimes, the best way to change a belief isn't through words. It's through action. In Episode 250 of The Positivity Hour, I introduce what I call the BAR Method: Beliefs, Actions, and Results—a framework for understanding how people develop, challenge, and change their beliefs. The idea is simple: instead of trying to force someone to agree with you, lead with action, evidence, and results. Give people the opportunity to see something for themselves, evaluate what they've experienced, and come to their own conclusions. Throughout the episode, I share examples of how this process works and why real-world experience can be more powerful than simply telling someone what to believe. I also bring the conversation back to my own life and my journey as a business owner. When I started Darshaun Smith Productions, I didn't know everything that was possible or what I wanted my future to look like. But after four years of taking action, experiencing the wins and losses, learning from my mistakes, and continuing to show up, my perspective changed. I developed a deeper appreciation for being a business owner, discovered new possibilities for my future, and changed what I believed I could accomplish with my life. I didn't get there by thinking differently first. I took action, experienced the results, and allowed those experiences to change how I thought. Sometimes, you have to experience what's possible before you can believe it's possible. Whether you're trying to change your own mindset, influence someone else's perspective, or build a life you never thought you could have, this episode is a reminder that actions and results can speak louder than words. Believe in yourself. Take action. Learn from the results. And keep growing.

    HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR JOB TO AI.... | EP. 248

    AI is changing the way we work—but I don't think the answer is to panic about it. In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I talk about how to avoid becoming replaceable in an increasingly AI-driven world. And honestly, I think the answer is pretty simple: Be the best human you can be. Live your life. Have experiences. Talk to people. Build relationships. Make mistakes. Learn from them. Develop your ability to understand and connect with other human beings in ways a machine can't replicate. AI is a tool, and I use it myself to help with my creative work and business. But AI doesn't make me great—it saves me time. The creativity, experiences, perspective, relationships, and decisions still come from me. I also react to videos from Alex Sedlak, who dives deeper into the future of work and AI, and Rhino!, who talks about breaking free from phone addiction and being more present in the real world. Because there's a bigger connection between these conversations: Don't spend so much time worrying about the future that you forget to actually live your life. Technology can help you work faster. It can't live your life for you. At the end of the day, your life is what you make it. Focus on what you can control, use the tools available to you, stay curious, experience the world, and keep becoming the best version of yourself. AI isn't the thing that makes you great. You are.

    Greatness Is Built, Not Accidental | EP. 247

    Great performance doesn't happen by accident. In this episode of The Positivity Hour, I break down the classic rule of the Five P's: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance and why preparation matters far beyond simply getting a job done. The difference between having a job and building a career can come down to how seriously you take the details. The small things you do consistently—learning, practicing, planning, refining your process, and preparing before the moment arrives—compound over time. When you put in the groundwork, you trade panic for power. You become more confident because you've already put yourself through the work before it's time to perform. And that's the bigger lesson: Greatness isn't an accident. It's built. Whether you're building a business, developing a skill, pursuing a career, or simply trying to become a better version of yourself, the work you put in when nobody is watching eventually shows up when everybody is. Prepare properly. Pay attention to the details. Do the work. Then, when your moment comes, you'll be ready. CHECK OUT LORI: https://www.youtube.com/@Life.of.lori.
