In this episode I'm going to confess how something I thought was a great strength, revealed itself as a weakness. And I see it so often with people who are more aware of themselves and concepts of healthy relating. They have learned not to react emotionally toward other people. They can regulate their behavior and in essence, bite their tongues. This can be good for not exacerbating a conflict in the moment. But the question is...what is it doing to us internally? I'm finding over time it can tear us down and even the concepts of healthfully responding and even journaling about it can very often miss the point of resolution and resilience and ultimately leave us in a weakened state. And nobody wants that. Drive with me for a minute to unpack this concept so you can grow stronger and drive better.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive?

Some people relate to trauma. Some to grief. But everyone will admit to disappointment, even if you’re a chronic minimizer like me. We’re not here to exaggerate and inflate anything, and nobody wants to give attention to disappointment so it limits them. That however is my concern. Are we healthfully dealing with disappointments or are we repressing unresolved feelings that are in fact, limiting us? You may be CEO of your company and clearing a million per year, and have unresolved disappointments, from your childhood or last year, limiting you. Maybe they are limiting your performance. Your income. Your relationships. Your fulfillment despite your achievements. This was my focus as I entered into the following discussion with acclaimed grief educator and multiple best selling author, Christina Rasmussen. Christina studied to become a therapist and crisis intervention counselor - even doing her master's thesis on the stages of bereavement, and thought she understood grief. Then, with daughters nine months and two-and-a-half years old, her 31 year old husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer and passed away. It was then she truly grasped the depths of sorrow and pain that accompany loss. Four years after Christina’s husband died she created the Life Reentry process, which launched her on a mission to bring compassion, grace, and validation to thousands, while simultaneously establishing an exit from what she termed the Waiting Room. She wrote the book, Second Firsts that became a bestseller. Then, Where Did You Go? Her new book and our muse here is Invisible Loss: Recognizing and Healing the Unacknowledged Heartbreak of Everyday Grief. She’s taken her experience and research from severe and tragic loss and brought the same, profound process of healing into our everyday grief and disappointments. She found that it’s not the size of the big trauma or little disappointment that matters, but the resolution, and she has a process to help us work through it.Christina is a pure joy. I’m in Florida and just received autographed copies of her book, signed to my mom Joanne, who is just four months past my Dad’s death. This inspiring conversation will light up your day.Got questions or comments on this show? For me or Christina?

In this episode we want to help you increase your wellness by elevating your desired healthy habits and routines into cherished rituals. Sacred even, if you will. We talk about diet and exercise and sleep we can often fall into viewing them as a chore. A should. Instead of a reverent endeavor we choose for our glorious well being. Rituals transcend mere chores and instill a reverence and even sacredness to the effort. In this episode Dr James and I talk about taking our daily health and wellness habits and treating them as true rituals that give them far more depth and meaning which of course help dramatically to how we perceive them and therefore, consistently engage with them for the benefit we truly desire. We aren’t clanging gongs or chanting in robes. You may want to. Be free. But even if it’s just an activity where you put a smile on your face, consider the deep reason you are doing it, and feel gratitude instead of chore. That’s a win.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I want to draw you to the things you care about. The things you value and believe in. And challenge you with your responsibility to sell them. Zig Ziglar famously said, “If you believe your product or service can fulfill a true need, it’s your moral obligation to sell it.” Now that doesn’t necessarily mean you must take a job selling a product or service you love. It may be a life concept that’s given you value and the issue is you taking what has given you value and made your life better, and sharing it with others, in a meaningful way. We do this all the time. We see a movie or a show that we enjoyed and we tell everyone they’ve got to see it. Why? We received a benefit and we want others to as well. To help them, but just as much to share in the experience. Whether you sell or share value for a vocation or just in service of others, I want to elevate the role of you telling us what’s benefited you and help you do it in a way that is authentic to you.Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode I want to erase the myth and polarization of selflessness. I grew up in the Bible Belt and heard so much about dying to self. Altruism and serving others was held up as the holy grail of human achievement. I and so many others got the message that if an action or activity gave you any joy it was selfish and the goal was to abstain from any desire and only fulfill the desires and needs of others. My experience is this made for a lot of guilty people, and I now believe we translated it wrong. This is not what I see from Jesus, and the most giving and fulfilled people I know are very joyful in fulfilling their own pleasures as well. I want us all free to understand what fulfills us, fulfills others better than “dying to self” does. Does this concept concern you? Drive with me a moment to unpack it and see if you don’t agree and feel incredibly empowered in a new perspective on so called selflessness.Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode we look at the motives around procrastination. I received some new information that's made me question whether we're really avoiding something and putting it off, or in fact, just giving in to a greater desire. The concept can turn the idea of procrastination upside down. It reminds me of people who don't do something because they are afraid of failing, but sometimes you find out what they are really afraid of is success. Discovering the root driver can be revolutionary when you realize something completely different is motivating you than what you thought.Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode I'm unveiling a very common motivator for your drive that I'd not adequately conceptualized before. We all realize that negative feelings can often be a powerful motivator for us. The desire to prove ourselves to the world. But my guest took it a step further and it was an "Ah ha!" Moment for me. Self-development leader Joel Brown cited that even among the top performers he's hired to coach, he finds that many not only have negative motivators driving them, but they are actually afraid to lose them, as they feel, even subconsciously, that it's their superpower. Boom. I think this is huge. We may be holding on to negative motivators because we've attached out identity to them. Joel Brown is a renowned self-development leader who has inspired 372 million people worldwide with his #1 personal development website, Addicted2Success. Over the last 14 years he's directly impacted over 12,500 lives through hands on training, conferences and retreats. Joel hosts the highly successful Addicted2Success podcast, with over 6.2 Million Plays & Downloads over the past 4 years + over 9 Million plays on his Youtube channel featuring thought leaders such as Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Simon Sinek, Les Brown and more. Joel stands apart to me because of his holistic blend of cutting-edge psychological strategies and deep spiritual insights, delving beyond the surface to target the subconscious patterns that often derail us from our path. Joel is also a Jedi of understanding procrastination. He actually has a quick quiz you can take to understand your procrastination type. There are six procrastination types and it really helpful to discover mine and how to better mitigate my propensities. Go to doquiz.com. doquiz.com.

In this episode we continue our walk through a fairly comprehensive list of menu items on treatments for depression, apathy, or even just feeling blue and unmotivated and fatigued. In last week’s episode, we discussed solitude, outside time, exercise, positive input, having purpose and surrounding yourself with inspiration. Here we continue on with about nine other menu items you can pick and choose from to raise your spirits and increase your hope. We really worked to be compassionate and gracious as we discuss this very serious issue, and not showcase any one thing as the holy grail, and recognize you could engage in so many of these and still have a clinical problem. But none of these efforts will hurt, and they will most assuredly help give you the best chance to combat what is holding you down. Got a comment or question about an episode?

In this episode I want you to consider the disappointments of your life. You may not perceive them as that critical. Like me, you don’t feel you’ve really had big trauma in your life. You feel you don’t have much real pain or hardship to cite and you should just be good. But you live with a good amount of frustration and discontent. That’s the tell tale sign. I have an intriguing story about tornados and termites to drive the point home that you are possibly at more risk than someone with great trauma. Risk of staying handicapped by your disappointments and not realizing your potential.  Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.

In this episode I want to address all of you who feel you have it pretty good. You really don’t have much to complain about. And you’re struggling with some guilt for wanting more and feeling some dissatisfaction. With all due respect, if you are hearing this podcast then you are called to more. Not to prove yourself or be worthy. But just cause you hear that call. Period. Let me explain, and yes, I’m going to make a case. I want you inspired to pursue more. Not burdened with it, and not guilty. You’re at risk for feeling guilty for not being content with what you have, or guilty for not doing anything about the itch you feel. Guilt is an enemy. Let’ get rid of it.Got a comment or question about an episode? Want to ask a question about your drive? Email me.
