Achieve optimal performance both in the workplace and beyond with grit and commitment.

It’s been a wild ride!

IT’S TIME TO Get Ready for the rest of 2023 WITH GRIT AND COMMITMENT!

Every day, we are surrounded by a world of noise and distraction.

And as a business leader, you understand the importance of staying at the top of your game and not getting distracted.

It’s time to get GRITTY.

The world’s TOP leaders know what they want and go after it in the face of adversity, setbacks with commitment and with grit.

You go after your goals with DETERMINATION.

YOU PUSH OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE DAILY.

AS A HIGH-PERFORMER, YOU KNOW THAT THE MAGIC HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

We live in a constantly changing and disruptive world.

Visionaries ARE ambitious…

YOU think big and plan for MASSIVE GROWTH IN DISRUPTIVE TIMES.

You need to be sharp, energetic, and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.

But MORE often than you’d like, the demands of your busy schedule can leave you feeling drained, stressed, and burnt out.

This is where the commitment comes in.

By building a strong connection between your mind, emotions and body, you can empower your inner athlete, and achieve optimal performance both in the workplace and beyond.

In the business world, success is often measured by the results you produce.

However, achieving those results can be incredibly challenging when you’re not operating at your full potential.

The truth is, the state of your physical, emotional and mental health has a huge impact on your ability to perform at your best.

When you’re stressed, exhausted, and out of balance, it’s much more difficult to focus, be productive, and make good decisions.

This is why it’s so important to take care of both your mind, emotions and body.

By doing so, you can build a foundation of strength, resilience, and focus that will enable you to perform at your best, no matter what challenges come your way.

Self-leadership comes first:

As a TOP leader you have to know yourself, to make sure your tendencies, thoughts, emotions and actions are aligned with your goals You know YOURSELF BEST TO WIN.

While regular exercise is beneficial for maintaining a strong & gritty mind, there are other ways to achieve this connection without exercise.

Here are some ways to build a strong and gritty mind without exercise:

Mindful Breathing

Mindful breathing is a simple technique that involves focusing on your breath and observing your thoughts without judgment.

It can help reduce stress, improve focus, and increase self-awareness AND IMPROVE EMOTIONAL REGULATION IN UNCERTAIN TIMES.

Taking a few deep breaths and choose positive emotions before a meeting or presentation can help you remain calm and centered during stressful situations, which can make it easier to make rational decisions and stay focused on getting the outcome you want.

Stretching

Yoga and stretching are physical practices that can help improve flexibility, balance, and strength, as well as reduce stress and anxiety.

Taking a few minutes to stretch before a meeting or presentation can help you stay calm and focused on the end goal during high-pressure situations, which can help you make better decisions and regulate your emotions.

Dominate the Controllable

AS A TOP LEADER, YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE CONTROL OF YOUR ATTITUDE, EMOTIONS, PREPARATION AND STRATEGY AND YOU FOCUS ON THAT INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU CAN’T CONTROL THESE DAYS.

Mindful Listening

Mindful listening is a technique that involves paying attention to what someone is saying without judgment or distraction.

It can help improve communication skills, increase empathy, and enhance relationships.

As a leader, practicing mindful listening can help you build stronger connections with your team members and stakeholders, which can improve collaboration and drive positive results.

Sleep

Sleep is crucial for maintaining a strong mind-body connection. Getting enough restorative sleep each night can help improve mood, emotional regulation in stressful situations, increase energy levels, and enhance cognitive function.

As a leader, getting enough sleep can help you stay focused and alert during important meetings and conversations, which can improve your communication skills and decision-making abilities.

By incorporating these into your daily routine, you can improve your focus, resilience, and emotional intelligence, which are all important qualities for effective leadership.

Remember, the mind, emotions and body are interconnected, and by taking care of your own self leadership, you can achieve your full potential as a leader.

Six Strategies To Be RESILIENT AF

Post author By Lisa Goldenthal
Post date March 10, 2022
No Comments on Six Strategies To Be RESILIENT AF

In this blog, I shared about the darkest moments of my life during lockdown in pandemic.

Honestly, there have been so many that I thought I would just start with one. My YouTube channel got stolen in 2020, and I still remember how hard that was at the time to get all of my intellectual property back!

I have also been through my computer trying to jump to its death to another one trying to drink coffee. On top of that, my car was at the shop for three months last year…

That is why I believe resilience is my superpower. For the most part, I know that my problems are first-world problems. It may seem privileged of me, but these are indeed painful for me and could harm my mental health, especially in these trying times. But I’m just glad that I overcame them with resilience and grit.

Resiliency requires changing your mindset and habits so that you can become unbreakable.

With all that drama, I had to bounce back. I’ve decided to start over and think about my old channel as a practice channel.

That being said, I want to help you to thrive and not just survive in these uncertain times.

I bought the domain ResilientAF.com to prove to myself that I am gritty and can get through anything.

I also launched my podcast about going from Stuck to Unstoppable to help you bounce back better and be #Unstoppable #Unbreakable and #Unshakable.

Here is a quote that inspired me from Holocaust survivor and author of “Man’s search for Meaning”, Victor Frankl. Dr. Meyer of the mental wellness society mentioned him this morning in his video on helping support Ukraine:

“Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

― Viktor E. Frankl

Here are my Six Tips On How To Become Resilient AF!

Tip #1: Develop a resilient growth mindset

If you look at challenges as opportunities to grow, you’re more likely to take action to improve your mood, performance, and situation.

A resilient mindset is a set of beliefs that includes how you see yourself, how you interact with others, and how you respond in times of uncertainty.

If you’re thinking about worst case scenarios, your brain defaults to the negative.

Here’s the good news, you can rewrite any negative story to a more positive one.

Your new story can be one of strength.

The great news is you’re a survivor and have already survived 100% of the worst things that have ever happened to you.

Whether it’s losing loved ones, career setbacks, a broken heart…yet here you are, still standing!

If you’re going through hell… keep going, get more determined than ever. You’ll look back with perspective and see how you’ve grown!

Our beliefs drive our behavior. If your story is negative, you’ll operate out of place of fear. Conversely, if you view this as one example of how adversity will not defeat you, you are more likely to take action.

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Things are gonna go wrong when we are stretching, learning, and growing. It’s all part of the process.

Tip #2: Stop trying to hustle all the time!

As an entrepreneur, I have heard “If you’re grinding, grind harder. If you’re hustling, hustle harder.” This is not a sustainable way to live.

By taking time off for self-care daily and on the weekends, I find that I have much more to give to others.

I say this because I realized that during the pandemic I have been putting a lot of pressure on myself and it was exhausting.

I want to help all you overachievers like me shut down your inner critic, that voice that tells you to do more and that you’re not enough. You can only fail if you quit, so keep going and don’t forget to have rest and enjoy the ride. You are enough!

Tip #3: Get support

It’s crazy for you to think you need to do everything on your own. If you’re finding yourself stuck, struggling, off your game, or in uncertainty, it’s okay to reach out for support.

I do. My sister, friends, coaches, and colleagues are there for me!

Embrace the fact that things usually won’t go as planned and support is needed.

Tip #4: Align yourself with your priorities and intentions

What if I told you that, your world would be completely turned upside down?

You could spend quality time with your family, reassess your priorities, and live in sweats. Perception is reality. It’s time to look for the silver linings!

Resilient people make sure their actions align with their intentions.

You might say your family is your number one priority, but do your behaviors reflect that? During uncertain times, I do things that support my physical and mental health as this aligns with my values. It’s time to get back to what is truly important.

Tip #5: Be grateful

To be resilient, cultivate gratitude. This helps you off-set negativity and primes your brain to start scanning for the good things and build a positive growth mindset.

Gratitude is the best predictor of well-being and a strong element of resilience.

When you practice gratitude, your relationships get better, you’ll have lower blood pressure, and have less anxiety and depression. The benefits are almost immediate and limitless.

I am grateful to all of you!

Tip #6: Be optimistic

Optimism does not mean you see the world through rose-colored glasses. It means you are deliberate about the way you interpret the adversity in your life. Every situation, especially the crappy ones, provides an opportunity to choose your interpretation.

Plus, when we pay attention to the good things, we find more of them because we find what we’re looking for.

Utilize the power of positive thinking.

Creating a positive thought process pays off in every part of your life.

A positive outlook instills success in work, personal relationships, and has many health benefits. A positive outlook has been shown to reduce stress and can improve sleep, memory, and happiness.

Looking back If I had let my anxiety get the best of me, I could have watched my business crumble. Instead, I let myself feel it and then moved forward and made a complete pivot.

5 Hacks To Power Up Your Resilience And Thrive

No Comments on 5 Hacks To Power Up Your Resilience And Thrive

“Challenge is what helps us grow.”

Your challenges are your secrets to success.

The power of the pivot series is all about grit, resiliency, and persistence. I am bringing on some special guests to inspire you in this series.

When you have grit you’re able to stay optimistic and determined despite adversity and challenge because the challenge is what helps you grow into stronger, more resilient leaders.

Like anything else, learning to face adversity with courage full speed ahead takes practice.

Before I jump in with my guests I am going to give you five hacks to power up your resilience and thrive.

Hack#1 Check your responses

How you respond when challenges come up has an effect on how quickly you can conquer the challenges, try waiting a few minutes or seconds before you respond rather than react.

Let me know in the comments if you do this.

Hack #2 Replay good things for happiness

Spend 2 minutes replaying something good that happened before you go to bed or first thing in the morning. I do this after my meditation.

Let me know if you do it too.

Hack #3 Lean into this opportunity to reinvent yourself

I love this chance to reinvent and rebrand. Almost all of you are undergoing some form of reinvention…so we’re all in it together.

Let me know if you’re into reinvention like me?

To be unstoppable decide what you want to be, visualize it, commit to your vision and take action daily!

Hack#4 Get used to doing hard things

To embrace challenges, start today with small hard things like making healthier food choices or signing up to do a challenging workout. Challenge yourself to do hard things to build your resiliency muscle, this makes it easier to do bigger hard things.

The more you practice being uncomfortable, the more comfortable you’ll be in times of discomfort.

Hack #5 Meditation strengthens your grit

It focuses your mind so that you can eliminate fear, instill confidence, & crank up your motivation. Meditation is my favorite mental toughness upgrade and part of my morning routine! Studies prove that meditation fortifies the brain’s “grit” center.

This is the time to focus on what you do want in your life!

“The point of a morning routine is to feel courageous, bold, and ready to take on the rest of the day.” -Evan Carmichael

Learn the 8 Ways to Get Your Mojo Back

Post author By Lisa Goldenthal
Post date October 1, 2021
No Comments on Learn the 8 Ways to Get Your Mojo Back

Can you believe we have three months left in 2021?

Since we’ve all been through the pandemic, this vlog is about how to get your mojo back because you’ll need mojo to crush your goals & rule the world.

In the movie Austin Powers, Dr. Evil speaks about mojo. It means your self-confidence, self-esteem and sex appeal.

Here are 8 ways guaranteed to get your mojo back.

Step #1 – Accept the facts

Waiting for the facts to change, is just wishful thinking. We’ve all suffered setbacks, If there’s something in your life that you don’t like, you’ll need to decide to try & fix it or move on. If your mojo is down due to a failed relationship, forgive and forget. You can’t undo it! Don’t focus on the negative, it’s a surefire way to kill Mojo you’re going to be fine, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.

Step #2 – Focus on what brings you joy

Engage in the activities you enjoy. Decide what depletes you and what replenishes you? For me, I love shopping, work travel, relationships. What is it for you? Remember for optimal mojo keep an eye on how much sleep you’re getting also notice the times you feel stress and what the causes are. Assess the situations you can change and the ones you can’t and start tackling the areas where you can make changes. When you focus on what brings you joy the mojo you feel will radiate outward.

Step #3 – Don’t beat yourself up

Say something positive to yourself and take your mistakes in stride. Remember “When it comes to dreams you might falter, but the only way to fail is to abandon them.”

Step #4 – Let’s Get physical

Engaging in a physical activity you enjoy is mojo enhancing. You can go out for a bike ride, play tennis or pickleball, or going for a long hike always brings my mojo back. Just like water that doesn’t circulate become stagnant lack of movement can make you feel sluggish and depleted with no mojo.

Step #5 – Show gratitude

Be grateful for what you have instead of focusing on what you lack. Counting your blessings is mojo enhancing, while thinking of what you don’t have is mojo depleting.

Step #6 – Find a mojo master

Watch someone who exudes lots of self-confidence and model their behavior.

Step #7 – Help someone

There’s no better way to feel good about yourself and raise your mojo than by being of service to others.

Step #8 – Be a rainmaker & Keep dancing

If your mojo is low remember there’s this village that was famous for miles around because its rainmakers were successful in making it rain 100% of the time.

The surrounding villages were amazed at this remarkable success rate, so they each sent a representative to observe what they were doing differently. It turns out that the reason for their perfect track record was simple: their rainmakers wouldn’t stop dancing until it rained.

Follow their lead: whatever your most important goal is, refuse to stop dancing–that is, taking the necessary action to achieve your goal–until you’ve succeeded.
