Dr. Cindra Kamphoff talks about in this episode about the importance of looking for the opportunity even in the most difficult situations. When we experience 3 to 1 empowering emotions we thrive, hence looking for the opportunity is essential to our health, happiness and performance. In the workplace, we should strive for closer to a 6 to 1 ratio to build a high-performing team which we discuss.  Power Phrase this Week: “I choose empowering emotions and a positive perspective today.”    Quote of the Week: Christopher Reeve, said “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserver and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”    

In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff talks about how you decide the meaning you provide to every difficulty or challenge. The key is to be consciously aware of the meaning you place on an event. When you see challenges as happening for you, you choose grit and your potential. When you see challenges as happening to you, you choose a victim mentality.  The Power Phrase this Week: “I see difficulties and challenges as happening for me, not to me.”  Quote of the Week: Hal Enrod, the Bestselling Author of The Miracle Morning said, “It is our responsibility to choose the most empowering reason for the challenges, events and circumstances of our lives.”  

Shirzad Chamine, a Stanford lecture and NY Times Bestseller said, “Most successful and highly-achieving people are tortured by their own Judges.”   In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff talks about how your internal judge limits you. You experience more happiness, creativity, and curiosity when you reduce your judge. Next time you notice your judge without judgement, be kind to yourself, and tell yourself why that judge is plain wrong.  Power Phrase this Week: “I work to be kind to myself and reduce my judge. I reduce it’s power.
