    How To Change Others

    How To Change Others. Transforming Others by Transforming Yourself—Practical Tools for Leadership, Family and Trust. Too often, attempts to change others with arguments and pressure trigger resistance, defensiveness, or disengagement. This episode of the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast with me, Linton Bergsen, reveals a radically different approach—activating real transformation through emotional presence, self-acceptance, and quiet leadership. Learn how your emotional state silently sets the tone others follow, impacting teams, family bonds, and personal relationships. I re-frame the myth that change comes from convincing, controlling, or intense persuasion. Instead, discover the “mirror principle”: people reflect the energy you bring. Hear stories of a top performer redefining his relationships through calm intention, and a youth mentor unlocking breakthroughs by embodying belief—not anxiety. Explore a practical energy audit, a seven-day embodiment challenge, and a 24-hour experiment to reduce reactivity and spark authentic connection. Find out why acceptance is the foundation of growth and how quiet certainty leads to breakthroughs in leadership, partnership, and parenting. Receive concrete prompts, transformation affirmations, and one re-framing question that shifts every interaction: Who am I inviting others to become through the way I show up? If you’re ready to influence through presence, guide without pressure, and let your life become the quiet invitation for change, this episode is your blueprint. For meaningful growth, subscribe, share with someone seeking to spark transformation, and leave a review to help others discover the show. Your presence is the invitation—embody the message, and let’s grow together. Visit selfrealized.com for more resources including my five-star Amazon reviewed book Purposeful Vision.

    Mood Mastery: Unlock The Energy That Drives Success

    Mood Mastery: Unlock The Energy That Drives Success How emotional energy shapes performance, intuition, and daily success. Your mood isn’t just background noise—it is also the frequency that shapes your results, relationships, and reality. In this breakthrough episode of Self-Realized: Shatter Your Limits with me, Linton Bergsen, you’ll uncover how your emotional state becomes the oxygen for motivation, the amplifier of intuition, and the key to effortless momentum. Through true stories, such as a founder who shifted from self-doubt to confidence and an athlete who realigned mid-performance, you’ll see how inner balance creates outer breakthroughs. You’ll also learn practical tools like the Awareness Reset (to name and tame emotions), the 90-Second Mood Tuning Ritual (to prime your brain for focus), and a Three-Step Energy Re-calibration (to lift your motivation baseline in just one week). You'll delve deep into vibrational alignment, revealing why gratitude expands awareness, fear narrows perception, and authentic energy attracts clarity, confidence, and synchronicity. This isn’t about pretending to be positive—it’s about deliberately choosing the energy you bring into every moment and letting that shift multiply across your day. Think of success like building a fire: motivation is the spark; mood is the oxygen. Pause before your next call or meeting, breathe deep, and ask yourself, “What energy am I broadcasting?” If this episode helps you reconnect with your focus and flow, follow, share, and leave a review—because when you master your mood, you master your momentum.

    Why We Fail: The Hidden Triggers of Sabotage, Success & Change

    What if the moment you “failed” was actually your mind trying to keep you safe? In this episode of the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast Why We Fail: The Hidden Triggers of Sabotage, Success and Change, join me, Linton Bergsen, as you delve into the hidden triggers that push smart people to pull back right before a breakthrough, how the nervous system prefers familiarity, how old memories shape present choices, and why success can feel dangerous when it threatens identity and belonging. Instead of self-sabotage, I offer an approach to practical exercises, real stories, and daily practices that turn fear into forward motion, giving you honest solutions on how to stop self-sabotaging success. I start by re-framing failure as a protective reflex, then trace it to early lessons about attention, visibility, and rejection. You’ll learn the Recalling the Pattern exercise to link current self- sabotage to past experiences, the Naming the Comfort prompt to uncover what your old habit won't supply you, and a simple way to replace that function with healthier behaviors.  You’ll explore identity clashes—why abundance feels alien if your story is struggle—and how to script the “you who succeeds” with clear values, language, and decisions by rewiring your brain for success. Along the way, I share a candid case study on emotional eating solutions and a personal turning point that transformed a failure into purpose and success. To make change prevail, you can lean on the Micro Victory Practice: one small stretch each day giving you daily micro-victories for growth that builds self-trust and momentum. Being self-aware opens the door, choice walks the path, and repetition rewires safety so growth no longer feels like danger. By the end of this episode, you’ll see failure as purification, not punishment, clarity, not condemnation.  If you’re ready to stop repeating old sabotaging habits and start evolving, hit play, and subscribe for more thoughtful episodes.

    Loyalty's Crossroads: Will It Make Or Break You?

    What does true loyalty mean in your life? Standing at the crossroads of commitment, we face a profound question: Is your loyalty lifting you up or quietly breaking you down? Join me Linton Bergsen on the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast as I explore the answer to this question with you. Loyalty, much like fire, holds transformative power – it can warm your home or burn it to the ground. Through powerful personal stories and practical wisdom, this episode reveals the crucial distinction between loyalties that feed your soul and those that slowly drain your spirit. You'll hear about a man who gave 20 years to a company that left him exhausted and unappreciated, and a personal account of a friendship that required boundaries to preserve authenticity. The "Loyalty Ledger" exercise offers a practical framework to evaluate your commitments with radical honesty. By creating a simple two-column assessment of where your loyalty lies and what you get in return, you'll gain clarity about which relationships and obligations truly serve your growth. This awareness becomes the foundation for transformation. True loyalty isn't blind devotion but conscious commitment to what's authentic and alive within you. The episode challenges the notion that loyalty requires self-sacrifice, offering instead a powerful alternative: "Loyalty to someone else can never come at the cost of disloyalty to yourself."  Through examining real-life examples of both constructive loyalty that builds character and destructive loyalty that keeps you small, you'll learn to recognize when staying represents strength versus fear, and when leaving might be freedom rather than betrayal. Take the challenge this week: complete your own Loyalty Ledger and ask the difficult questions about what truly serves the life you're called to live. Remember, this journey isn't asking you to betray others – it's asking you to stop betraying yourself. Stay loyal to your truth, and you'll never lose.

This episode of the Self Realized: Shatter Your Limits Podcast, "Avoidance Won't Save You: Transforming Fear into Action" cuts straight to the heart of what holds most of us back from living authentically—our tendency to run from what scares us while calling it safety.  Join me, Linton Bergsen, as I share a raw, personal story about facing an end-of-life decision for a loved one, revealing how avoidance prolonged suffering for everyone involved.  This powerful example illuminates a universal truth: the price of avoidance is not only measured in missed opportunities, but also in precious moments lost forever, extended heartache, and diminished growth.

Write down what you're avoiding on one side of the page, and on the other side, convert your fears into specific actions. Take one small step within twenty-four-hours. These aren't just suggestions; they're keys to unlocking a life where fear becomes fuel rather than an obstacle. The most liberating realization?

    Compromise: Winning Together or Losing Yourself?

    In this episode of the Self Realized: Shatter Your Limits Podcast, join me, Linton Bergsen, as I unpack the delicate balance between compromise and self-preservation. From boardrooms to marriages, international negotiations to individual choices, compromise is often praised as the path to peace. But at what point does “meeting in the middle” become losing the core of who you are? Walking the tightrope between compromise and self-preservation haunts every relationship we build. That delicate balance forms the heart of this compelling exploration into what it truly means to meet in the middle without losing yourself in the process. Compromise wears many masks in our lives. Sometimes it appears as the noble virtue of give-and-take, the foundation of lasting relationships. Other times, it becomes the silent assassin of our authentic selves, gradually erasing who we are until we no longer recognize the person in the mirror. The crucial question remains: how do we know the difference? Through powerful personal stories and practical frameworks, you’ll uncover the anatomy of healthy compromise. True compromise emerges when both parties walk away stronger, when trust deepens through mutual respect and active listening. I’ll share a simple yet transformative exercise: creating two columns—"what I must have" and "what they must have"—to visualize where meaningful overlap exists. This conscious approach to negotiation stands in stark contrast to the self-betrayal that occurs when you consistently prioritize others' needs at the expense of your own well-being. The journey toward conscious compromise requires developing what I call a "compromise compass"—a clear understanding of your flex points and non-negotiables based on core values. By pausing before negotiating win-win scenarios, and regularly reflecting on decisions, you can honor relationships without violating personal integrity. Remember, shattering your limits isn't about standing alone—it's about standing true to yourself while creating space for genuine connection with others.
