In Episode 124 of the Inspiration2grow podcast I am introducing the concept of keeping a beginner's mindset in everything we do. Maintaining a beginner’s mindset is an essential key to staying open-minded and flexible in the face of change, while still being able to draw on the wisdom and experience gained over the years. It is the ability to be a student of the world, a continual learner, and to look at the world with fresh eyes and a new perspective, no matter how much knowledge and experience one has. The beginner's mindset is an attitude of openness and inquiry, a willingness to be receptive to new ideas, and an eagerness to explore new experiences. It also involves a certain degree of humility, because it involves taking a step back from one’s own expertise and allowing oneself to be open to the ideas and perspectives of others. This can be difficult for those who have become accustomed to being the expert in their field, but it is important for one’s personal growth and for the growth of their organization. In today's world, the pace of change is rapid and constant, and the need for adaptability and the ability to learn quickly is essential. The beginner's mindset allows one to be open to new ideas, to be willing to try new things, and to be willing to make mistakes. It encourages creative problem-solving and allows one to stay ahead of the curve by being aware of the latest trends and developments in their field. The beginner's mindset also helps to foster a culture of collaboration, since it encourages people to learn from each other and to share their knowledge and experience. By being open to different perspectives, people are able to come up with more creative solutions and to better understand each other. This can lead to greater innovation and improved productivity. Having a beginner's mindset can also help one to remain open to new opportunities and to have the courage to take risks. It allows one to be open to exploring different paths and to think outside the box. This can help to create a culture of innovation, as people are more willing to take risks and to explore new ideas.Finally, having a beginner's mindset also helps one to stay humble and to remain focused on the task at hand. By staying open to learning, one can keep their enthusiasm and motivation high, and remain focused on the goal. It also helps one to stay humble and to resist the temptation to become arrogant or to think they know it all. Maintaining a beginner's mindset is an essential part of staying open-minded and flexible in the face of change, while still being able to draw on the wisdom and experience gained over the years. It allows one to remain open to new ideas and opportunities, to think outside the box, and to stay humble and focused on the task at hand. It is an attitude of openness and exploration, and is essential for personal growth.

Episode 123 of the Inspiration2grow podcast introduces a new concept of 'test driving' a new habit for 30 days. I walk you through the simple steps of how you can get started with this idea, what you need, how it works and what to do at the end of the 30 days. A few key ideas of the 30-Day Habit Challenge: Test driving a new habit for 30 days can be a game changer in your life. It can help you make meaningful and lasting changes, as well as open the door to new experiences and opportunities. Starting a new habit can be intimidating and overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Taking on the challenge of test driving a new habit for 30 days gives you the opportunity to test out something new and to see how it fits into your life. It's okay if it doesn't work out - you can always make changes at the end of the 30-day period. The first step is to decide on a habit you want to test drive for 30 days. It can be anything from exercising every day to eating more vegetables to meditating for 10 minutes each day. Once you've chosen your new habit, the key is to stick to it for the full 30 days. This means making it a priority and setting aside time each day to dedicate to it. It helps to remind yourself why you are doing this and to celebrate your successes. Whether you’ve managed to stick to your new habit on a particularly difficult day or made it to the end of the 30 days, it’s important to give yourself credit for your accomplishments. Test driving a new habit for 30 days requires commitment, but it can be an incredibly rewarding experience. It’s an opportunity to challenge yourself and to learn more about yourself. You may find that the habit you’ve been test driving has become a regular part of your life, or you may learn that it isn’t the right fit for you. Either way, the experience is invaluable and can help you create a life that’s more meaningful and fulfilling.

In Episode 120 of the Inspiration2grow podcast, I am talking about 10 simple ways that you can start implementing to create more/extra time to dedicate to your health and wellness. When it comes to achieving your health goals, lack of time can be a major obstacle. With busy work and family schedules, it can often be difficult to find the time to make healthy choices and stick to a routine. Unfortunately, this lack of time can prevent many people from reaching their health goals. Time is a precious commodity and it is often one of the first things to go when people are pressed for time. When there's a conflict between work, family, leisure, and health, people often prioritize their other obligations over their health. Working late, running errands, or spending time with family means less time for exercise, proper nutrition, and other activities that can help improve one's overall health. In today's show my aim is provide some motivation and creative ideas on how you can gain an extra few hours (maybe even as many as 10 hours like I have been able to) so you can focus and work toward your health goals with a 'clean conscience' of not neglecting other obligations. Some notable quotes: “Good health is a journey, not a destination. Make sure you have time to travel it.” - C. Johnson “Health is our most valuable asset. Make sure you invest time in it.” - S. Anderson “Take time to be healthy and it will pay dividends in the future.” - A.
