“Greatness is defined by how much you want to put into what you do.” Lebron James  You can never outperform your self-image, or your view of yourself. Be careful what you say to yourself about yourself because we are always listening. To level of your self-image, consider the beliefs you want to hold about yourself to reach all of your goals and dreams. Write out those statements and say them in the morning to be intentional about building your self-image.    This Week’s Power Phrase: “I will be careful what I say to myself because I am always listening and intentionally build my own self-image.”   

Your goals and dreams should be just a little scary – meaning a little outside your comfort zone because when you dream big, you grow into who you can become. Most people dream too small or lose the ability to dream because of limiting beliefs or listening to other people’s disbelief. The reason we need goals and dreams are less about checking off a box, but instead about who you can become. Making dreaming for a living part of your daily mindset practice.    This Week’s Power Phrase:  “I dream big to help me reach my best and my potential. I have everything inside me to make my dreams happen.”    To learn more about the Dream for a Living t-shirts as well as other gear, visit www.mentallystronggear.com for FREE SHIPPING and $10 OFF EACH SHIRT.    This Week's Quote of the Week: “So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.” Christopher Reeve

“Gratitude is the heathiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.” Zig Ziglar  Gratitude is connected to better health, more optimism and increased resilience. This week, you could start using a scientifically proven tool to help you feel more grateful. Three tools we discussed that you could use are starting a gratitude journal, using gratitude language, or taking a gratitude walk. On Thanksgiving, you could share your answers to one or two or two of the gratitude-focused questions such as 1) What can I be thankful for? 2) What am I happy about right now? and 3) What is going right in my life. A grateful perspective is always available.    This Week’s Power Phrase: “I choose to intentionally practice gratitude daily. I focus on what I am grateful for to stay fueled and excited for my life.”

“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  Practicing gratitude has a lasting impact when done regularly. One study suggested just 2 weeks of a gratitude practice can have a lasting impact for 6 months. Gratitude is also connected to better health as well as more optimism and resilience. You can start a daily gratitude practice at the beginning of your day or end of your day by writing down 3 things you are grateful for each day. You can also shift your focus at any time to what is good and what you are gratitude for in any situation. Choose to take the perspective of a resilient, optimistic person and draw the good from a difficulty.    This Week’s Power Phrase: “I choose to intentionally practice gratitude daily. I focus on what I am grateful for to stay fueled and excited for my life.” 

“If you gave your inner genius as much credit as your inner critic, you would be light years ahead of where you are now.” Alan Cohen  Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice that can sounds scared, angry, or judgmental. Remember your inner critic tends to lie to you. You want to name your inner critic to tame it. We all have an inner critic inside of us, and a key is to notice your inner critic. We want to respond to our inner critic with compassion and grace, and choose a more empowering and truthful statement to tell ourselves instead.    This Week’s Power Phrase: “I name my inner critic to tame it. I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic.”

Confidence is the trust in yourself and your abilities, and is the core of reaching your potential. To build your confidence, it is important you are on your own side, not on your own case. On your case means you are overly critical, negative and never satisfied. On your side, means you are rationale, realistic, and encourage yourself. To be on your own side more, focus on learning over beating yourself up.    Quote of the Week: “It is confidence in our bodies, minds and spirits that allows us to keep looking for new adventures.” Oprah    This Week’s Power Phrase:  “I am on my own side and keep learning and growing.”

Albert Einstein said: “Once you stop learning, you start dying.”  In this episode, Cindra talks about the lessons Coach COVID has taught her and the importance of reframing difficulties.

Michael Jordan said, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”   Failure is a necessary part of success. It is not the opposite of success. What if you adapted the idea that the more you fail, the more you will succeed? The first key to doing so is to keep learning from the failure. A second key is to be compassion with yourself which helps you stay motivated and confident.  Show yourself the same kindness as you would a friend.    This Week’s Power Phrase: “I embrace failure and see it as a necessary part of my success and reaching my potential.”

Don Miguel Ruiz said, “Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others.”   In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff talks about the first agreement, “Be Impeccable with Your Word” of Don Miguel Ruiz’s book “The Four Agreements.” Cindra talks about how a key to be impeccable with our word is to be a silent listener to the voice in your own mind.

A key is to build yourself up to protect your confidence, energy and leadership.   This Week’s Power Phrase: “I will talk to myself powerfully. I will avoid using my words to speak against myself or others.”

Zig Ziglar said it best, “Failure is an event, never a person; an attitude, not an outcome; a temporary inconvenience; a stepping stone. Our response to it determines just how helpful it can be.”    In this week’s podcast, Cindra talks about how failure is inevitable and when we define failure on our terms, we are able to see failure as an event, not who we are.

I take an easy-going approach when I fail.

Courage is a muscle – the more you use it, the better you get at it. Being uncomfortable each day is the fastest way to make your vision for your life a reality and it’s the only way to reach the people you are intended to serve. Discomfort is the price you pay to experience success, step into your destiny and live a meaningful life. What will you do today to be uncomfortable? This Week’s Power Phrase: “I choose courage over comfort. I flex my courage muscle and go for it.” This Week’s Powerful Quote: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than the fear.” Franklin D.

Dr. Justin Grunewald works at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in the heart of Minneapolis treating patients during their hospital stays. He works nights for seven to 10 days in a row, then he'll get about two weeks off. When Cindra caught up with Justin, he was in Colorado ready to go on a RV trip, running, camping and adventuring in the woods. On Episode #14 on the High Performance Mindset back in 2015, Cindra interviewed Justin’s wife, Gabe Grunewald. The fearless middle distance runner who was going after her dreams to make an Olympic team despite cancer. Gabe’s life was cut short at just 32 last year, but she still managed to make a huge impact on the running community and beyond. While battling a rare form of cancer and competing as one of the best middle-distance runners in the country, she inspired countless people to live bravely. For over 10 years, she fought adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare cancer of the salivary glands, which she was diagnosed with as a fifth-year senior running for the University of Minnesota. Despite the diagnosis, she went on to become an All-American in the 1500 meters, and after that, a professional runner who almost made the 2012 Olympic team. In this podcast, Justin and Cindra talk: · Gabe’s life physiology and how we can each learn to live bravely · How their foundation “Brave Like Gabe” started · How Gabe was able to turn a difficulty into an opportunity · Their “chance” encounter in Central Park with Chip Gaines that changed their world · An inside look at the mindset of an elite athlete HIGH PERFORMANCE MINDSET SHOWNOTES FOR THIS EPISODE: www.cindrakamphoff.com/justingrunewald 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/2599776723457390/ FOLLOW CINDRA ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/cindrakamphoff/ FOLLOW CINDRA ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/mentally_strong Love the show?

In this episode, Cindra talks about given all the changes we are experiencing right now that it is important to remember that it is okay to feel whatever you are feeling. A key to being resilient is to remember there is no reason to judge your emotions as good or bad. Instead, use how you are feeling as information and data about what is important to you. There are so many things we cannot control right now but we can look ahead and create a new vision for our future and consider 1 thing we can do to move towards that vision each day. You can continue to adjust and adapt like you have been for the last 5 months!      “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” Victor Frankl     This week’s Power Phrase:  “I can adjust and adapt. I can handle anything that comes my way.” 

Cindra talks about embracing a “new better” which helps you move forward despite the things in our world that you cannot control. It is easy to live in fear right now given the uncertainty in the world. Today, Cindra talks about what to do when you “amygdala gets hijacked” due to fear and how we can move forward embracing a “new better” instead. One way to embrace a "new better" is to consider what your vision looks like and what is one thing you can do today to reach that vision. As Abraham Lincoln said, “The best way to predict the future is to create it!”     This week’s Power Phrase:  “I embrace the new better. I imagine the future in my mind and then create it.”

“You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens.” Louise Hay Self-compassion, or the practice of being kind to yourself in times of failure, pain or when you notice something you don’t like about yourself, is key to practice right now. When we show self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness as we would to others recognizing that all humans suffer and we are not alone. We can then use tools to stop being so critical of ourselves remembering criticizing ourselves doesn’t help us get to where we want to go.   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I am kind to myself. I remind myself I am doing the best I can.”

It’s the story you tell yourself about yourself that matters the most!   This week’s Power Phrase:  “I own my story. I am in control of my perspective and my story creates my reality.”
