    Creative Blocks

    A creative block is when you feel you have a barrier to inspiration. You sit down to plan content for your business but you have no idea what to write. That's a creative block. Creative blocks can come on suddenly and knowing what triggers affect them can help you overcome creative blocks faster. When you’re in a space of creation, what does that look like? When you’re in a space of self-doubt and imposter syndrome, what does that look like? I experienced a creative block trying to figure out what to talk about on this podcast episode. I took a step back, gave myself some space to relax, and think about something else. I allowed myself to not let self-doubt and imposter syndrome take over and today I’m sharing all about my creative blocks and personal strategies to overcome them. In this episode, I discuss: Where creative blocks come from and what triggers them How to get out of a creative block My personal strategies to getting unstuck   Connect with Thea Charles To learn more about Thea, please visit www.thearenel.com Head over to www.pushorpivot.com to learn more about this podcast and dive into previously released episodes.

    Take the First Step

    Take the first step towards your goal. I know that's easy to say but not as easy to do. You most likely know how to reach your goal. It's the breaking down of that goal into steps and not getting caught up in your thoughts that's keeping you stuck.    The key to reaching your goal is to set milestones for yourself along the way. Then break down each milestone of your goal into smaller attainable steps to not be overwhelmed. You can apply this type of planning in all parts of your life.    As a coach, I help people create and implement SMART goals. I help people just like you break down their big goals into milestones and those milestones into easy steps.    If you'd like to work with me, send me a DM or visit my website www.thearenel.com to set up a time to chat. We can see if we work well together and create a partnership to help you implement your SMART plan.    So what's a SMART goal that you're working toward? What's your next step?   In this episode, I discuss: The secret to hitting your goals What S.M.A.R.T goals are and how to set them Why adding milestones to your goals will help keep you motivated and on track   Connect with Thea Charles To learn more about Thea, please visit www.thearenel.com Head over to www.pushorpivot.com to learn more about this podcast and dive into previously released episodes.

    Mindset

    Your thinking controls your behaviors and your behaviors determine your results.    When you are faced with challenges, how do you react?

Today, I’m telling you how my most prized business could be gone forever, my reaction, and why having a growth mindset is key.   In this episode, I’m also diving into mindset and why it is important for success not only in business but in life. When you open yourself up for opportunities, you’re allowing yourself to explore and learn new things.   Can you identify any negative thoughts that are keeping you stuck?   In this episode, I discuss: A mindset shift I recently had to make and how I got unstuck The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset The importance and value of having a growth mindset   Connect with Thea Charles To learn more about Thea, please visit www.thearenel.com Head over to www.pushorpivot.com to learn more about this podcast and dive into previously released episodes.

    Gaslighting: Can you do it to yourself?

    What is gaslighting? Do you internalize stories that we or other people create? When we do, it makes us second guess our intuition. Are these stories holding you this back from reaching your full potential? Are we limiting ourselves because of what other people say or do? Take a step back and look at the possibilities before limiting yourself.  A simple question to ask yourself may not stop your beliefs right away but questioning why you are holding yourself back is a continual practice. Being able to recognize your patterns and reminding yourself that the past does not define the future is the key to not gaslighting yourself and to start feeling limitless.

    Analysis Paralysis

    What happens when we feel stuck in the decision process? Are you over thinking the process because you think everything has to be perfect?   Analysis paralysis is when you get stuck in the decision making process. It can happen when we don't make our next step a small manageable one, or we fear that our idea is not right. We can even think that if we muddle over our problem a little longer, a better idea will come along.   In this episode, Thea talks about: What is analysis paralysis? How perfectionism can keep you stuck? Why the fear of making a mistake or missing a better solution stops us from doing anything. How to identify the fear and move past it to get unstuck.   Ready to get out of your rut?
