Today we talk about when we can be too gritty. We discuss Simone Biles, the USA gymnast, who withdrew from the Olympic All-American competition. As Simone said, our “physical health is mental health.” To ensure we are not pushing too hard, we can listen to our mind and body, care for ourselves, and engage in good self-care.     Power Phrase this Week: “I listen to my body and mind in order to reach my potential.” 

Most people dream too small or lose the ability to dream as they age. They let limiting beliefs get in the way, or they listen to other people’s disbelief in their goals and dreams. A key factor to keep in mind when you are setting goals is that the power of setting goals is who you can become in the process. Make connecting with your goals a daily mindset practice.    Power Phrase this Week:” “I dream big to help me reach my best and my potential.”  Quote of the Week: “Believe in your dreams and anything is possible.” Usain Bolt 

On the podcast this week, we discuss how to thrive on “the big stage” in the moments that are important to us. It is natural to feel pressure in these moments. We feel pressure when the outcome is important to us and the outcome is uncertain. You can’t live a life without pressure. The key is to manage your reactions to it. Notice your thoughts and emotions. Focus on what you can control – which is only you and your response to the situation.   Power Phrase this Week:” I focus on what I can control. I trust myself today.”  Quote of the week: “Everything negative – pressure and challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.” Kobe Bryant 

Today we are talking about the power of our own self-talk and how to overcome our own inner critic. What you think about yourself, you become. You can train your mind to level up your belief in yourself. Dr. Kamphoff shares with a powerful strategy we can use to level up our thoughts called The Truth Meter.   Power Phrase this Week:” I talk to myself powerfully and tell myself the truth.”  Quote of the Week: “Work harder on yourself than you do your job.” Jim Rohn, American businessman and self-made millionaire 

Several years ago, Google undertook a massive two-year study on high-performing teams, calling it “Project Aristotle.” They sought to answer the question “What makes a high performing team?” After conducting over 200 interviews, they surprisingly found a top ingredient for high-performing teams was psychological safety—in fact, it was the most important ingredient in high-performing teams. Today on the podcast, we talk about how we can apply this idea to building a thriving culture at work, home, or any other place we lead.   Quote of the Week: “If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.” Tom Watson, CEO of IBM    Power Phrase of the Week:” I see failure and mistakes as opportunities to learn and grow.”

Today in this episode, Dr. Cindra who works with several Olympians, talks about how we each need to train our mind like an Olympian. Training your mind like an Olympian includes believing in your potential, and believing anything is possible. Research also confirms that importance of preplanning our self-talk for moments we feel pressure. What do you want to say to yourself when you want to step into your potential?    Power Phrase this Week: “I train my mind like an Olympian believing anything is possible.”  Quote of the Week: “Failure, I can live with. Not trying is what I can’t handle.” Sonya Richards Ross, Gold-Medal Track and Field Athlete  To Learn More about Cindra visit: https://www.cindrakamphoff.com/

Today on the podcast, Dr. Cindra talks about the importance of when you feel stress or pressure to interpret that as “I am excited” instead of trying to calm down.

Today on the podcast, Dr. Cindra shares with us how to find the opportunity in everything. We can find the opportunity in the difficulties we have experienced in the past, current struggles, or events in the future. When we see the difficulty as happening for us, we grow and learn, feel in control, and create more powerful energy.     Power Phrase this Week: “I see the opportunity in everything.”  Quote of the Week: “Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.” Napoleon Hill 

In this episode, Cindra Kamphoff shares the power of completing the Best Possible Self where you imagine everything going perfectly in the future for you 1, 5, 10 or 15 years from now. Research has found that by completing this exercise, it helps improve optimism, positive affect, and expectations for the future. Once you complete the Best Possible Self exercise, you can then consider obstacles that might get in your way and plan for them.    Power Phrase of the Week: “I have a clear focus of my future.”  Quote of the Week: “Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” Oprah Winfrey 

In the episode today, Dr. Cindra talks with Lisa Kaye about how we all have an inner gremlin what is formed to protect us. Listening to this gremlin leads us to playing small and puts a cap on our limitless potential. To identify your gremlin message, ask yourself “What gets in the way of you moving forward in your life?” and then uncovering the underlying message to your response to that question. Dr. Cindra also reminds us that it’s important to remember to not believe everything you think!     Power Phrase of the Week: “I don’t believe everything I think.”  Quote of the Week: “You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” Louise Hay 

The present moment is the only place peak performance is possible. Breathing deliberately is important to your mindset because it allows you to remain in the present moment and reduces your stress, anxiety, and anger.  Breathing deliberately also improves memory and awareness. Dr. Cindra talks about how to count with your breathing because this helps you NOT focus on what is creating your stress and anxiety.     Power Phrase this Week: “I train my mind taking a breath to stay in the present.”  Quote of the Week: “The breath that you just took, that’s a gift.” Rob Bell

Trusting yourself is an essential part of building your self-confidence. Your trust is a trait that can be trained, and should be trained. First, when training your trust, it is important to not wait for confidence – instead, act confidently. Second, we need to doubt our doubts! Most of what we say to ourselves when we doubt ourselves is a lie. The third strategy to train your trust is to be kind to yourself. Make sure your inner dialogue supports trusting yourself.    Power Phrase this Week: “I train my trust. I act confidently and my belief follows.”  Quote of the Week: “If you’re going to trust one person, let it be yourself.” Robert Tew

This week on the podcast we talk about The 3 Gifts Technique. Consider a difficulty you are experiencing right now – the difficulty could be big or small. Then, ask yourself, how can this be a gift? The gift could come from an increased knowledge, power to grow your mental muscle in a new way, or inspiration where your action becomes a gift. When you have the ability to turn everything into a gift, you have nothing to fear because everything is an opportunity in some way.    Power Phrase this Week: “I see the gift in every difficulty.”  Quote of the Week: “Every problem in your life carries a gift inside it.” Richard Bach   

In this episode, we talk about the impact of overthinking on your performance, happiness and fulfillment. Dr. Cindra Kamphoff encourages us to use the Truth Meter when you notice yourself overthinking or believing a thought that doesn’t serve you. Your mind tends to lie to you to keep you safe and small. Instead, take control of your mind and choose a better thought that would serve you right now to play bigger and step into your courage zone. Remember, your mind does not control you, you can control your mind.    Power Phrase this Week: “I control my mind. My mind does not control me.”  Quote of the Week: “Pressure isn’t supposed to break us, it’s designed to make us.” Sarah Johnson

When you respond, you are staying in control of yourself.” Bob Proctor 

If Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was writing his incredibly popular book, The Power of Positive Thinking, today he would need to add a separate chapter on John Kriesel. In 2006 Kriesel was nearly blown to shreds by a 200 pound roadside bomb in the parched sands of Iraq. He died three times and was shocked back to life. Somehow he survived through four hospitals, 35 surgeries and months of recovery. He lost both legs and suffered numerous other major injuries, but it was the loss of two close friends that hurt the most. The guy who wasn’t supposed to survive and was told he probably would be in a wheelchair the rest of his life walked out of Walter Reed Army Medical Center after nine months. His transition from military to civilian life offered many challenges, but his amazing support system, positive attitude and sense of humor allowed him to bounce back stronger than ever.   In 2010 he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives but decided not to seek re-election when his family said they wanted to spend more time with him. He is director of veterans services for a County in Suburban Minneapolis, MN, a part-time personality on KFAN Radio, motivational speaker, and co-author of the book, “Still Standing: The Story of SSG John Kriesel,” winner of 8 national book awards.    In this episode, John and Cindra discuss: The warrior’s mindset His “second chance at life” perspective Lessons he learned in the hospital Strategies to respond to adversity and challenges Why it is essential to not compare our adversity to others HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: www.cindrakamphoff.com/422 HOW TO ENTER THE PODCAST GIVEAWAY TO WIN $500 CASH: www.drcindra.com/giveaway FB COMMUNITY FOR THE HPM PODCAST: https://www.facebook.com/groups/highperformancemindsetcommunity FOLLOW CINDRA ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cindrakamphoff/ FOLLOW CINDRA ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/mentally_strong TO FIND MORE ABOUT JOHN: https://www.johnmkriesel.com/ Love the show?
