“It’s not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.” -Audre Lorde
 
Why it’s important to know and understand values:
To understand what is most important to you 
To protect and defend what is most important to you (set up boundaries)
To be more empathetic and respectful towards others values
To assertively and unapologetically stand up for your values and others
To teach others how to stand up for their own values with confidence
To live more congruently with your values and have great peace, joy, and fulfillment.
Congruence: agreement or harmony; compatibility.
 
“Core values are the deeply held beliefs that authentically describe your soul.” -John C. Maxwell
 
“If you don’t stick to your values when they’re being tested, then they’re not values: they’re hobbies.” -Jon Stewart
 
“We should not allow our personal values to erode, even if others think we’re peculiar.” -James E. Faust
 
“Don’t compromise on your values to please others. Keep your self respect intact and walk away.” -Unknown
 
“Personal leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.” -Stephen Covey
 
“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” -Roy E. Disney
 
“Integrity: Choosing courage over comfort; choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy; and choosing to practice our values rather than simply professing them.” -Brene Brown

Happiness Advantage
TEDxBloomington - Shawn Achor - "The Happiness Advantage: Linking Positive Brains to Performance"
Customers Forced Into Military Inspection 13 million views
 
“If you can raise somebody’s level of positivity in the present then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage which is that your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral, or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. …Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.  …We’ve found that there are way that you can train your brain to become more positive. In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, you can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully.” -Shawn Achor Ted Talk (went to Harvard and has spoken to ⅓ of fortune 500 companies
 
“I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.” -Steve Jobs
 
“Habits are like financial capital – forming one today is an investment that will automatically give out returns for years to come.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Each one of us is like the butterfly Butterfly Effect. Each tiny move toward a more positive mindset can send ripples of positivity through our organizations, our families, and our communities.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Constantly scanning the world for the negative comes with a great cost. It undercuts our creativity, raises our stress levels, and lowers our motivation and ability to accomplish goals.”
― Shawn Achor
 
“Without action, knowledge is often meaningless. As Aristotle put it, to be excellent we cannot simply think or feel excellent, we must act excellently.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“For me, happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“We’ve all heard the usual examples: Michael Jordan cut from his high school basketball team, Walt Disney fired by a newspaper editor for not being creative enough, the Beatles turned away by a record executive who told them that “guitar groups are on their way out.” In fact, many of their winning mantras essentially describe the notion of falling up: “I’ve failed over and over again in my life,” Jordan once said, “and that is why I succeed.” Robert F. Kennedy said much the same: “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” And Thomas Edison, too, once claimed that he had failed his way to success.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Studies have found that American teenagers are two and half times more likely to experience elevated enjoyment when engaged in a hobby than when watching TV, and three times more likely when playing a sport. And yet here’s the paradox: These same teenagers spend four times as many hours watching TV as they do engaging in sports or hobbies.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“What we spend our time and mental energy focusing on can indeed become our reality.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage
 
“Perhaps the most accurate term for happiness, then, is the one Aristotle used: eudaimonia, which translates not directly to “happiness” but to “human flourishing.” This definition really resonates with me because it acknowledges that happiness is not all about yellow smiley faces and rainbows. For me, happiness is the joy we feel striving after our potential.”
― Shawn Achor, The Happiness Advantage

19 | Handling Haters: Secrets to Managing Hurt, Misunderstanding, and Offense–and How to Turn it into Fuel for Growth

Do you ever hold back from being your brightest self for fear that you’ll be judged? Or maybe you have boldly stepped forward and you’ve been met with resistance, pessimism, fault finding cloaked as advice, misunderstanding, harsh assumptions and offense? 
Maybe you go to great lengths to be careful and respectful, and yet you still find many naysayers, or those who criticize, object, and oppose the good you’re trying to do. The more these little jabs occur, the more you doubt yourself and wonder if stepping forward was the right choice. Maybe you’ve discovered these deep hurts, especially when several of these naysayers are friends and family who you thought would have your back.
If this is you, hang on, my friend. You’re not alone and this episode is especially for you.

Quotes:
“Haters don’t hate you…. The reality is, they fear that they will never be able to get to where you are right now.” -Leah Remillet
 
“Learn to use criticism as fuel and you will never run out of energy.” -Orrin Woodward
 
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” -Andre Gide
 
“Dear Haters, I have so much more for you to hate. Just watch.”
 
“Haters are my favorite. I’ve built an empire with the bricks they’ve thrown at me.” -CM Punk
 
“I don’t worry about haters…. They are just angry because the truth I speak contradicts the lie they live.” -Steve Maraboli
 
“People are probably not happy with their lives if they’re busy discussing yours.” -Unknown
 
“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.” -Winston Churchill
 
“Haters don’t really hate you. They hate themselves because you’re a reflection of what they wish to be.”-Unknown
 
“Most haters are stuck in a poisonous mental prison of jealousy and self-doubt that blinds them to their own potentiality.” -Steve Maraboli
 
“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problem. You stay kind, committed to love and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you always do.” -Scott Stabile
 
“Your loved ones will probably be among the first to try to talk you out of greatness. Some of them will try to discourage you from doing something significant because it makes them feel small. Walk boldly into the unknown, through fear and rejection. Don’t let loved ones and haters stop you from changing the landscape of your life. At some point, you’ll be rejected, and it’ll hurt, but they don’t see what you see. Only those with vision can do the impossible. Hold your head high. If people don’t understand you, stand up straight and step forward anyway. Don’t you lose your confidence. You have gifts and you know your potential. Don’t allow yourself to be stifled. Let your ideas come to life. Keep showing up. Let their disbelief fuel your convictions, and thank God that it didn’t keep you down on the ground. You are meant to soar, so surround yourself with eagles and let go of haters that try to convince you that you’re meant for depths and not heights. You’re here to build a legacy, and to pave the way for others. The world needs more eagles. Don’t let other people come in the way of your dreams–even if they’re loved ones. Don’t lose your focus. Don’t allow any haters and halters to become obstacles. Bring the unseen to life. Create the reality you want! Look for the light in the darkness, and move forward especially when you feel alone because that is when it matters most. Don’t stop believing in yourself. You are God’s miracle! You were made for greatness. And you are never, ever alone.” -Kendra Nielson

“There are so many “shoulds” and “should nots” that merely keeping track of them can be a challenge. Sometimes, well-meaning amplifications of divine principles—many coming from uninspired sources—complicate matters further, diluting the purity of divine truth with man-made addenda. One person’s good idea—something that may work for him or her—takes root and becomes an expectation. And gradually, eternal principles can get lost within the labyrinth of “good ideas.” -Elder Uchtdorf
“Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be of the devil.” -Moroni 7:14

“Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” -Brene Brown
You can use NOPER (notice, own, plan, execute, and repeat) or the Emotion Processing Model (NPEC-notice, pause, explore, and clarify). 
Dr. Carly Lebaron teaches that we can explore our rules behind our shoulds. She gave examples like how the rule behind “I should always be happy” is the rule that you’re not allowed to have feelings or “I should spend more time with my kids” is the rule that I need to be a perfect parent and I need to always entertain my kids. 
 
Is This Why You're Depressed? Stop Should-ing on Yourself
 
“Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love and belonging.” -Brene Brown
 
“[Shoulding] is based on an overly rigid rule inside your head that you aren’t able to live up to. Shoulds generate a lot of shame. This way of talking to ourselves is like having a little shoulder angel constantly finding fault and criticizing you. But shoulds aren’t that helpful in actually creating change. They mostly just make us feel miserable and discouraged.” -Emma McAdam
 
“When we leave piles of should everywhere in our lives, it’s easy to become discouraged, overwhelmed, and feel like a shouldy person. Should-ing is a bad habit that sends a message to your brain that you’ll never be good enough.” -Emma McAdam
 
Albert Ellis, the famous American psychologist, said, “Stop shoulding on yourself.” 
 
Karen Horney was a German psychoanalyst that noticed a pattern in depressed and anxious people. She noticed that they always say, “I should.”

14 | Creativity After Raising Young Children: How to Consume Less & Create and Produce More

Are you consuming MORE than you’re creating? Have you thought much about your creation-consumption ratio, and what it does to your body and spirit? Have you lived most of your life consuming things like education, entertainment, books, podcasts, food, and ideas– telling yourself that when you know enough, then you’ll put something worthwhile out into the world? And if you’re really honest, do you know it’s because you’re scared that you’ll be judged? Or because you don’t feel like you’re enough?
 
You are not alone! We are immersed in a consumption culture! But as always, there is good news. YOU can CHANGE your culture. The world is what we make of it! But maybe you’re like my clients and you’re feeling stuck. You might be wondering, where do I begin?! It’s been too long. I’ve been in survival mode and raising young children for too long to even remember how to create, let alone WHAT to create! 
 
Well, I’ve got your back. Today, I’ll give you all the hacks you’ll need to get started and help you understand the reason WHY it’s time to stop procrastinating!
 
Enjoy the show!

I guarantee that the investment you make will be returned tenfold with tried and true therapeutic techniques, strategies, and tools from an invested, trustworthy source. Your compound growth is waiting for you to make a commitment. It’s like I would tell my personal training clients: every dollar you spend on self growth is mathematically proven to save you in future mental and physical health costs. So truly, sign up now or you’ll pay for it many times over in the future, but without the joyful benefits. You truly won’t regret investing in my mental health and wellness. I never have–even when some courses were less beneficial because they showed me what else I needed. And since I’ve taken so many, I’ll go above and beyond. Guaranteed.
