Just like your smart phone, what background apps are running in your life? Which ones drain battery power and focus? Which ones can you turn off?
We all have at least one application on our phone that reduces the battery life of the phone, even when we aren’t using it. What application is it on your phone? The location finder? The GPS? For some of us it is a game that keeps tracking even if we aren’t playing. You aren’t able to use the phone to its full potential when these programs are still on in the background.
Have you ever noticed that you are tired or anxious or distracted and can’t figure out why? What if your brain is running background apps just like your phone? You aren’t able to function at your full capacity because something in the back of your brain is draining your energy. We all have some version of this.
The antidote? First, you have to pay attention to what applications are running inside you (especially the ones you are not currently using). The second step is to turn those apps off (some of these may be easier to turn off than others). Set them aside until you need them. If you can’t solve a problem in the current moment, practice setting it aside. Finally, review. Just like your phone it helps to go back on a regular basis to see what is still running in the background. – www.rhoadscoaching.thinkific.com

The conversations you have with yourself happen in your head. Those voices in your head weren’t there to begin with. They aren’t who you really are. They can be added and subtracted from the conversation.

How is setting an intention different than setting a goal? Frequently our goals are short term projects that don’t really change who we are or how we engage the world. Creating an intention offers an opportunity for BEING someone different.

If we teach our athletes to celebrate every touchdown, foul shot, or at bat, why don’t we translate that same philosophy to our relationships and careers? What would it take to celebrate each win during your daily life?

We feel guilty when we are responsible for something that went wrong. A mistake or an accident. We feel shame when we believe there is something wrong with who we are. Our culture struggles to separate the two.

Remember Dory and Marlin in ‘Finding Nemo’? The instructions were to go through the trench, not around. The trench looked scary and dangerous. It turns out that avoiding the tough spot was more dangerous than going through. How often do you do that in your life? Where are you avoiding it right now?

Recurrence is the repeating of events, thoughts, and emotions in our lives. Life occurs in loops of varying lengths and degree. These loops lull us to sleep. The only way to get out of these patterns is to change how we live. Here are four rules to follow for getting ‘unstuck’!

Given the last year and marking the milestone of 200 Rhoads Life Coaching videos, Persistence seemed like the right topic for today!
First, THANK YOU to everyone who has watched, liked, shared, and followed along over the last few years!! I am so grateful for all of your support, questions, and comments! This would not be possible without your support!
I’ve said it before, I would have laughed at you if you had told me during those first few videos that I would be posting a new topic 200 videos later. I would not have been able to see how that was possible from where I started. Persistence has definitely been a part of this journey. I’m excited to pause for a minute and celebrate!
Thank you to everyone who suggested a location! THANK YOU to Melissa Meyer for suggesting the Purple People Bridge! The topic was already picked before the location was drawn and a windy, rainy day over the Ohio River was fit perfect (even if I had to be persistent in figuring out how to record it)!
Where is your persistence lacking? How do you understand what persistence is in your life? What hill are you climbing that needs a bit more stubbornness and tenacity to keep going? Kind of like creating a 200th video in the rain! Thank you for watching! – www.rhoadscoaching.thinkific.com

How much do you worry? What do you worry about? Worry is different from fear in that by worrying we end up right back where we started and nothing has changed. It drains our energy and time.
