Send us a textWhile this seems obvious to some people, many of us struggle with the idea of putting ourselves first. We were raised to think we should always put others before ourselves and ignore our own needs – that it is somehow arrogant or self-centered and not a nice thing to do. So why is self-care not held in high regard as the essential practice that it is for our well-being? Today hosts Kein Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the importance of finding a healthy harmony between putting yourself first and being there for others. When we reach a point where we feel like we’re doing something we don’t want to, the healthiest thing we can do is to stop and consider how we can pour into our own cup instead.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level Monthly Meetup #15: “3 Big Things Holding You Back From Success.” on Mar 2, 2023, 06:00 PM, EST: https://bit.ly/3JLNxgV_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textAlthough self-confidence can mean different things to different people, in reality, it simply means having faith in yourself. Self-confidence is not a static measure. Our confidence to perform roles and tasks and deal with situations can increase and decrease, and some days we may feel more confident than others. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros share ways that you can start building your confidence. Confidence is not something that can be learned like a set of rules; confidence is a state of mind. Confidence comes from feelings of well-being, acceptance of your body and mind, and belief in your own ability, skills, and experience.

Send us a textBeing selfless means that you care about others as much or more as you care about yourself. It means that you feel their pain, share their struggles and go out of your way to be a positive force in your life. Sadly, being selfless also means you have to deal with many things that selfish people never even think of. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about some things that we see as negative but can be looked at as something good about us. Although helping others can benefit our health, happiness, and relationships, being too caring can sometimes have downsides. For example, especially selfless people may feel exploited in their interpersonal relationships or burned out in their jobs.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level U Book Club: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-book-club/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comThe best way to track your habits is here!

They also discuss the different factors that help you gauge value and opportunity cost. What was important to you 5 years ago may not be important to you now. It also depends on your self-belief because you may be doing things that are important to others but not important to you.

Additionally, this fear of judgment stems from thinking that you should be perfect. Well, you're not, and that's okay. To some degree, judgment helps us grow.

Send us a textWhen we talk about personal growth, we refer to expansion, blossoming, and transformation. Transformation can be challenging because it requires significant changes in our behaviors, attitudes, values, relationships, and self-image. It’s not a stretch to say that personal growth is hard. Today hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about one thing that comes with personal growth: growing pains. They also share their growing pains, such as the pressure they are under as they continue in their personal and entrepreneurial journey. In the same way, physical growth causes growing pains in childhood; personal development can cause psychological and emotional discomfort in adulthood. Even if we sometimes try to avoid it, emotional and psychological distress is a personal development necessity.Link mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Send us a textAll of us procrastinate on some level, with no exceptions. What is procrastination, and why do we do it? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros explain why we procrastinate. They also discuss what makes us stop procrastinating. We all know that up to a certain point, we stop procrastinating and do what we need to do. Other times, when we're lucky, it has already been done for us, which in a way, rewards our procrastination and increases the chances that we will do the same next time something similar comes up.

Send us a textThe common definition of self-love is doing something for ourselves that may not be entirely good for us but feels good at the moment. In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros zero in on what self-love really means. They describe the moments when they were doing something for themselves after a hard day, week, month, or year. Sometimes we can go overboard on self-love and border on putting our future success at risk. The self-love we choose to do may not always move us forward to our goals and may also be a distraction from reality, where we are burned out. We need to pause and choose a self-love activity that fulfills us holistically.

If the story is not true, we could be undermining our chance at success. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the story we tell ourselves and how it affects the course our lives are taking. They share their own stories, their beliefs, and how it has shaped their lives. Sometimes the story we believe holds us back from opportunities that could help us achieve our goals. It determines the kind of path we take and how soon we achieve our dreams.

Send us a textWe oftentimes confuse happiness with fulfillment. We were taught when we were young that life is about finding happiness. In chasing happiness, we can end up lost, confused, and filled with regret. We can try to balance happiness and fulfillment, but it still does not guarantee that we will be happy every day. Today, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about what happens when we optimize for happiness. They share that we will come across barriers that keep us from succeeding and being fulfilled when our aim is only happiness. Despite this, we should continue doing meaningful work and adding value to other people’s lives. We should continue working on the things that give us fulfillment and a deeper meaning in our existence, not just happiness. We can be happy but not fulfilled, but when we are fulfilled, we are happy.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level - https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/ Next Level Nation - https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the process of letting go of what does not work for you anymore – persons, places, things, and ideas. Sometimes in order to let go, you need to figure out what you want to embrace instead.

Send us a textBusiness relationships are critical for top-performing growth. Relationships are a means of cultivating ideas, encouraging collaboration, and contributing to the community in your industry. But you need to stop networking if you want to see true success in your business relationships. In today’s episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about networking and why it’s the one big piece of advice they stopped taking. Networking assumes that you are meeting fellow peers and industry players to get something in return – whether you're hoping to gain a client, a partner, a vendor, or a job. Instead, strive to become your best. Striving for excellence is an eternal desire that keeps driving our performance and influencing our results. Do that, and all the right people and the best results will come to you.Links mentioned:Next Level Live on April 1, 2023, will take your life to the next level: https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/next-level-live/Next Level 5 To Thrive: ​​https://bit.ly/3xffver_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!

Kevin shares that he feels that he is on the cusp of moving to his third identity - the person he must become.

Send us a textLet’s be real; there aren’t many people in this world who would choose to be lonely. We, as human beings, thrive off our interactions and connections with others. We often don’t do well alone. Some fear it so much they settle and keep people that don’t deserve a spot in their life hanging around. But, Is being unhappy with an individual emotionally and mentally better than just learning how to be comfortable with just YOU? In this episode, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros talk about the one thing you need to realize about being alone: it isn’t bad. In fact, it can be the best time for self-discovery. You discover things you never even knew about yourself. You learn not to accept the disrespect and abuse you maybe once did. One of the best things you can do for yourself is to learn who you are. That often requires you to concentrate on just yourself.Links mentioned:Join Next Level Nation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/459320958216700To learn more about group coaching: https://nextleveluniverse.com/group-coaching/_______________________Website 💻 www.nextleveluniverse.comLeave a review and get a chance to win a $100 Amazon GC: https://lovethepodcast.com/nextleveluniversityThe best way to track your habits is here!
