High performers know who they are. They grow in their awareness of themselves and one way to do that is to identify your core values in a conscious way. Meaning, you decide what values, or core beliefs, you want guiding you in this phase of life. Then, you can use these values to guide your behavior and actions.  Power Phrase this Week: “I know myself and use my values to guide my actions each day.”  Quote of the Week: Elvis Presley said, “Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do.” 

High performers are intentional with their outlook realizing that they can change their focus at any time. They use the practice of reframing each day when they experience difficulties. They don’t ignore the difficulty, but instead see a different perspective and how experiencing the obstacle is helping them. This helps them feel positive and motivated to keep going in their life, sport, and/or job.   Power Phrase this Week: “I use reframing regularly to keep me passionate and charged for my goals and my life. I see a setback as a comeback.”  Quote of the Week: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dyer 

In this episode, we talk about how you can do hard things. You are more capable than you realize.  You have a reserve tank that you haven’t even tapped.

I work hard, stay the course, and remain gritty.  This Week's Quote of the Week: “Success is never owned it is only rented, and the rent is due every day.” —Rory Vaden, Bestselling Author, Take the Stairs

It’s easy to compare yourself or your performance to others instead of staying focused on your own improvement. It’s easy because we live in a culture obsessed with comparison.

Would you like to change your focus? In this episode, Dr. Cindra helps us explore the negative consequences of comparison and what to do instead. Power Phrase of the Week: “ I pursue my standard of excellence. I stay gritty and work to be my best one step at a time.” Quote of the Week: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” —Theodore Roosevelt

To create the life, performance, and business that you desire and deserve, you have to see it first. You have to have a positive expectation about yourself, other people, and the circumstances in your life. Dr. Kamphoff talks in this episode how when you continually believe in the best-case scenario and make it happen with your "my-scenario", your life changes. This will change your future and bring your grit to a whole new level.  This Week's Power Phrase: “ I focus on what I want to happen. I believe the sky is the limit for me.”  This Week's Quote of the Week: “Don’t spend a lot of time imaging the worst-case scenario. It rarely goes down as you imagine it will, and if by some fluke it does, you will have lived it twice.” —Michael J. Fox 

Many of us have gifts that we are not expressing to their fullest. We may not have reflected about what is unique about us, or we might have taken our own unique gifts for granted. We may have even overlooked or downplayed them. But when you name your gifts and work to find your Zone of Genius, you gain more excitement and energy to live your life on purpose. Dr. Kamphoff asks us to consider “What is in your Zone of Genius? How can you spend more time in that zone?” When you make the choice to do just that, you thrive. You spend more time doing what you love and what you were uniquely designed to do.  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I own my unique skills and talents. I engage in what I love.”  Quote of the Week: “Hard work doesn’t feel like hard work when you are doing what you love.” —Unknown 

Today on the podcast we discuss expectations. Expectations can place pressure on us without even realizing it. To be our best more often, we want to stay focused on excellence, not perfection. We are at our best without expectations when we are focused on the process (the small things we need to do) and our mind is in the present (not the future where expectations live). Today, to be the best you that you can be – do your best and have fun. These two expectations will free you from pressure.  Power Phrase this Week: “I do my best and have fun!”  Quote of the Week: “Expect nothing, appreciate everything.” Anonymous 

Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice that can sounds scared, angry, or judgmental. We want to be aware of our inner critic to reduce it. We all have an inner critic inside of us. Remember our inner critic tends to lie to us. We want to respond to our inner critic with challenging it, and choose a more empowering and truthful statement to tell ourselves instead.  Quote of the Week: “Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love.” Brene Brown  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I talk to myself powerfully instead of listening to my inner critic.” 

Regularly practicing gratitude is powerful because it has a lasting impact when doing it regularly. Gratitude is connected to better health, more optimism and resilience. Remember, you can shift your focus at any time to what is good and what you are gratitude for in the situation. Choose to take the perspective of a resilient person and draw the good from a difficulty.  Quote of the Week: “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”—Oprah Winfrey  Power Phrase of the Week: “I choose to intentionally practice gratitude daily. I focus on what I am grateful for to stay fueled and excited for my life.”

In order to reduce overthinking, self-doubt, fear – all of our inner limits – it all starts with self-awareness. Your self-awareness is having an understanding of yourself, your emotions, and what drives you. Cindra challenges you this week to notice yourself – how are you feeling/thinking about, and use the PCR strategy that she discusses to keep increasing your own awareness of yourself.  This Week’s Power Phrase: “I choose to lead the hardest person first—myself.  This Week’s Quote of the Week: “Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.” Author Debbie Ford 

Think about a time that you were in flow. What did your flow zone feel like? What led to that feeling? What were you doing? Dr. Cindra shares with us three things we can do to get in the flow more often. Flow is like a muscle—the more you train and experience flow, the easier it will be to reach your flow zone.  Power Phrase of the Week: “I find my flow and do what I love.” Quote of the Week: “This is how memories are made….by going with the flow.” Amanda Bynes 

High performers don’t hope their thinking will work for them; they make their thinking work for them. They are intentional and purposeful with their daily self-talk. They condition their minds each and every day which helps overcome self-doubt. In this episode, Cindra shares two ways to address self-doubt to be intentional with your self-talk.   This Week’s Power Phrase:  “I level up my thoughts to level up my life.”  This Week’s Quote of the Week: “Fear and self-doubt have always been the greatest enemies of human potential.” Brian Tracy 

We can all train our mind like a professional athlete, and we should. When we do, we get to our goal quicker and think and act like a high performer.  To give ourselves the best chance of success, we can work to have a short-term memory of mistakes, focus on the right thing at the right time, and see adversity as helping us get to where we want to go.    This Week’s Power Phrase:  “I train my focus each day to help me reach my goals.”  Quote of the Week: “The sky has no limits. Neither should you.” Usain Bolt 

Everyone is a leader. As a leader, you are leading yourself and leading others towards a common goal or purpose. You will not be effective at leading others until you’re first effective at leading yourself. In this episode, Dr. Cindra talks about how we can each lead ourselves more intentionally.   This Week’s Power Phrase: “I show up in this world with intention.”  This Week’s Quote: “To lead yourself, use your head. To lead others, use your heart.” John Maxwell

We have the opportunity to practice acceptance every minute of every day. We can work to accept the situation, accept ourselves, or accept other people. Acceptance is a pillar of peak performance. In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares with us how we can move towards acceptance more often.   This Week’s Power Phrase: “I accept what is and know that I am doing the best I can.”  Quote of the Week: Wayne Dyer said, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

The key to feeling unstuck is a change in your perspective. In this podcast, we discuss three perspective shifts to getting unstuck to help you feel like your best self again.  Power Phrase of the Week:  “Each day I master my mindset and see the opportunity in the difficulty!”   Quote of the Week: “If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one.” Dolly Parton

In this episode, Dr. Cindra talks about how we can approach any task from a mastery or an ego orientation. A mastery orientation is focused on improving and learning. With a mastery orientation, you engage because you enjoy it and are passionate about the activity. This is the orientation we want to develop because it leads to long-term success. On this episode, we discuss several ideas how you can develop a mastery orientation.    Power Phrase This Week:  “Today I focus on myself and on getting 1% better!”   Quote of the Week: “The time that leads to mastery is dependent on the intensity of our focus.”— Robert Greene 

Leading yourself can be very difficult because our brain is hardwired to see what is missing. Instead, you can lead yourself to your own personal vision by remembering these three principles: 1) What you think about yourself, you become, 2) Thoughts only have power if you believe them, and 3) You can act independent of how you feel. Chance thinking doesn’t lead to success – instead, make time each day to master your thoughts and lead yourself.  This Week’s Power Phrase:  “I level up my thinking to level up my life!”    Quote of the Week: ““Work harder on yourself than you do your job.”—Jim Rohn, American businessman and self-made millionaire

Staying gritty and reaching high performance requires adopting the mindset of constant and never-ending improvement. Showing self-compassion is key to adapting and bouncing back quickly after setbacks, adversity, and mistakes. Self-compassion is also a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety, and perfectionistic thinking, which can lead to poor performance. When we practice self-compassion, we are able to live and let go.  Power Phrase this Week: “I see failure and mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow. I am kind to myself.”  Quote of the Week: “Learning to Live is Learning to Let Go.” Sogyal Rinpoche, Bestselling Author  

As a top-performing business leader, entrepreneur, or salesperson, it is good to strive for success and have high expectations. These high standards keep you going, striving to be your best. When you strive to be your best, you help others around you do the same. But perfection is unattainable. In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff describes what to do instead.  Quote of the Week: “You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” Louise Hay, author  Power Phrase of the Week:“I am kind to myself when things don’t go perfectly moving on quickly to protect my confidence.”

Bryon Katie said, “Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.

Henry Ford said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.”   Today on the podcast we explore the power of our thoughts. We all have automatic negative thoughts (or ANTS) and our ANTS can seem very real. We want to notice our ANTS and take a step back to diminish their power. You shouldn’t believe everything you think because your brain’s purpose is to keep you safe, watching for negativity.   Power Phrase this Week: “I level up my thoughts to level up my life.”   

Knowing doesn’t create change; it’s the doing that creates change. You may know about why we have negativity as humans, but you must put it into action to see the results. In this episode, Cindra talks about how negativity isn’t always bad – it can help us make good decisions and protect us. But many times too much doesn’t serve it. Savoring is one way to train your mind to see the good and the possibilities.    Power Phrase of the Week: “I savor the good to combat my negativity bias.”    Quote of the Week: “Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results.”  Willie Nelson
