Get Your Mind On

I’m sure all of us have had times where we didn’t want to hear feedback from someone, but it made a difference for us in the future. Maybe it was a time when you needed to hear that you interrupt your colleagues often at work, or maybe your partner doesn’t get enough words of affirmation from you. Maybe your kids will tell you that you spend too much time answering emails while you’re at home instead of playing with them. Whether we’re at work, with family members, or friends, we get feedback all the time that we can react negatively to, or that we can accept it and implement it. How can we best receive it? This week I sit down again with Bill Lewis to have a candid conversation on how we as people can best hear and accept feedback in our lives. Take a listen with me on this week’s Get Your Mind On podcast as we discuss the Gift of Feedback. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

We just celebrated Valentine's Day and many of you most likely have love on your mind. You may have bought flowers for a significant other or a friend, while others opted to get the chocolate (even if it was just for yourself). But how can we focus more on love every day and ensure it starts with us first. Valentine's Day is focusing on loving a partner, but do you ensure that you are loving yourself first? I want you to take a moment to think about that today. Let's dive into this week's Get Your Mind On podcast to talk about love. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

If you remember back to our last episode, I discussed the concept of a to-don't list. This is a list of items we need to evaluate and pass along so that we can focus our attention on the tasks we personally need to accomplish. Is this list growing for you? Are you looking at everything in your life and realizing there are pieces sucking up your time and attention? Hopefully, your to-don't list is growing and your to-do list is shrinking and narrowing its focus. As evaluate our to-don't list, Iet’s talk this week about how we can take those responsibilities and obligations and adequately delegate them to free up ourselves. Take a listen this week and let's dive in together to delegate and celebrate. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

Are you optimizing it to the highest productivity that you're capable of? We all have full authority to do what we'd like with our time. You are in control of your life and your 24 hours. But what if you fell off track or that you can't control your time? Whether it's family time, work schedules, or items on your to-do list that are restricting you from accomplishing the aspirations you've set for yourself. Maybe you should think about how to fix your time or items you need to say no to. Or put differently, maybe items you should put on your to-don't list. What's a to-don't list? I'm sure many of us have too many tasks on our to-do list. How can you take more control of your life by ensuring there are projects or tasks you are committed to delegating to free up your time? I want to discuss this week the importance of a to-don't list, and ensuring your best use of your time to accomplish everything you've committed to this year.

What are you doing today to fulfill everything you would like to accomplish this year? With the beginning of a new year, many of us have the desire to succeed. You may have set resolutions or goals, or even aligned with a word for your year. But now that we're halfway through the month, are you still on track? Did you miss a day or two of working out? Did you eat that donut you claimed you wouldn't touch? Did you get caught up in work responsibilities and forget to spend the time you wanted with your children? I want you to give yourself grace and listen to this week's podcast. I spent time this week talking with Bill Lewis, who is a member of our Lori Stohs Consulting team. We discuss the importance of aligning our goals and making smarter choices. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

When we think about a new year with new goals and plans, we sometimes use it as an exciting restart. Resolutions are created to change up what we did last year and become the best person we can this year. Even though 2020 may not have been exactly like we all planned, you probably learned something valuable from it. How did you grow from last year? What new and exciting opportunities are created for you this year? I want you to take the opportunity to look at the plans you've set for yourself this year, give yourself some grace on accomplishing them, and then looking forward to what you can do to succeed. Let's dive into this week's Get Your Mind On episode to talk about Where you are in 2021. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

When have you taken the time to develop someone around you? Was it a co-worker, a mentorship opportunity, or in your life with your children? Having the opportunity to develop others allows us to share our knowledge and enjoy the blessing of being able to impose wisdom on others. I've had the experience in my life to see the impact that's been made when people have great connections in their lives who work to develop them in all facets of life. But sometimes it can be unhealthy. What may be an ideal relationship could turn into an experience where they become reliant on you to give them the answers. How can you work to give advice and judgment on life experiences without enabling bad decisions or even limiting their growth? Let's dive into this week's Get Your Mind On to talk about Developing or Enabling. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

Are you naturally in the zone and driven to where you're headed? Or do you get sidetracked by other daily obligations that derail you from responsibilities you may need to complete? Regardless of where we are in life, we each have unique distractions. A task that may come easy to one person may be difficult for another. As our lives are constantly changing these days, new distractions will begin to emerge. Some of you are probably still working from home when you did not expect that to be the case at the beginning of 2020. Since these occurrences can lower our energy and productivity, what can we do to limit and overcome them? The distractions we can control may need slight adjustments, and then those out of our control may take work on our end to manage them effectively. I want to take today's Get Your Mind On podcast to talk about overcoming your distractions and how we can be more successful even through them. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

How does engagement impact the wellbeing of your people? In this pandemic we are living in, we are focused on how we can operate successfully as companies. Many people are asking if their company can stay afloat? Can you keep all of our staff? Can we keep our production open? How is work at home affecting our employee's engagement? Take a moment to put that aside and think about the wellbeing of your employees. This week, I have the privilege of speaking with Dan Witters, Principal and Research Director of Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index, about how we can focus our attention on the wellbeing of our coworkers and employees. Dan has had an extensive career working at Gallup. Join us for a great conversation regarding wellbeing and engagement.

How do you organize tasks in your life? Is it on a to-do list, written sticky note or maybe saved in an app on your phone? To-do lists can have amazing energy or they can be draining. This might motivate us to accomplish all of our responsibilities in life. Whether it's work, home, or family life, these lists can get us excited about what we get to do. But other times, they can be exhausting. More often than not, most of us probably live in this most often. Have you looked at a list and thought, "I don't have enough time today to get everything done I need to"? Or maybe every time you checked something off your list, your boss added three more tasks to the end of it. Imagine what could happen if you took a moment to bring the right energy into your responsibilities. It could be something you absolutely love and appreciate in abundance, instead of something that can drain you. On this week's episode of the Get Your Mind On podcast, let's talk about how to cultivate the best energy to bring to your to-do list. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

Who are you as a person? Do you classify as a mother, a banker, a Christian, or maybe a brother? We all have titles in our lives that help identify who we are as people. Today I’d like to talk about what aspects of your life shape who you are. We go through life sometimes juggling lots of roles as we shift from home life to work-life to social life and back again. Let’s dive into today’s episode of the Get Your Mind On podcast today to talk about Shaping Your Identity. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

How have you been managing your life transitions? Regardless of where you have been these last six months, I'm sure you've been through some life transition. For me, I moved to Portland in January to be then sent into lockdown in March and that was not how I expected my year to progress. It was a hard transition for me in a new city and no family nearby. What changes have you made to overcome these transitions? On this week's episode of Get Your Mind On, Bill Lewis from our team will talk about Managing Life Transitions. You can listen to the podcast as you normally would, but you can also find it in video format on the getyourmindon.com website and the Get Your Mind On youtube page. Lastly, be on the lookout later this week for our September newsletter for a full article on Managing Life Transitions. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

How busy have you been lately? Are you getting yourself in a routine where you're continually busy and don't have the opportunity to stop, slow down, and realize what you're doing? We sometimes get to the point where we continue to check off tasks on our lists because we may be using it to avoid making a decision or dealing with emotional pain. How can you slow down and shift? This week, let's talk about the tasks and responsibilities we put upon ourselves in the work that we do, and how we can better harness our energy. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

Where is your attention right now? Are you answering emails, scrolling on your phone, or maybe driving all while listening to the podcast? Take a moment to think about what it feels like when you listen. Most often when we have conversations, we appreciate being listened to. Being heard and understood is important for us as humans. We value the connection with those around us and physiologically it affects the connection we have with them. Sometimes it's the appreciation of just taking a moment to listen fully to a friend or coworker who wants to talk through a problem or an issue they're having. Maybe it's spending time and listening to your children when they ask the same question for the hundredth time. What value can you bring to those around you when you truly take time to listen? I want to talk this week about the importance of presence and listening to the world around you. Let's talk about the effect it has on our life when we completely listen. ******************** Visit www.getyourmindon.com to receive free resources for personal growth.

When was the last time you put an out of the office on your email? With the changing nature of work these last few months, it has drastically changed everything from how many hours you work in a day, to not having the ability to take summer trips with your family. Even if you haven't taken a vacation, it's also difficult for many since working from home makes it harder to disconnect, you probably haven't taken a day off of work in a while. It's important for our mental wellbeing, overall productivity, and general success to take time off of work. As you listen to the podcast today, take a moment to analyze where you are with taking time away from work. Some of you may be in a really tough season of long hours and have to power through, but if you have the chance, see how you can take time off to renew and recharge.

Under the surface, we need to take the time to look at our emotions. How are you really feeling? Whether it's sending your kids back to school with a new schedule to figure out or adapt to the ways your workplace is adapting to a COVID lifestyle, our emotional responses may be quite high and quite frequent.

How do you interact with your teams on a daily basis? We work in teams all through our lives, even beyond the workplace. Think about how you work with a partner you may have, with your friends, or groups in organizations you're a part of. In most activities we engage in, there is a shared goal that we strive for. We need to work as a unified team to accomplish this goal. How can you come together with those around you to accomplish this goal and successfully work together as a team?

How can you continue to lead thoughtfully and manage effectively through this ongoing pandemic? None of us truly know what will happen next as we continue to cope with the effects and adjustments that are happening due to COVID-19. Some companies are creating their reentry strategies while other companies have called off working in the office through the end of the year. It can be argued that we need our leadership stronger now than ever before. How can we foster a culture that is adaptive to the shifts that are being thrown upon us and think differently about the future? In today's podcast episode, I want to talk about how to lead and manage through this situation as all of us are going through this difficult time.

It is no secret that COVID-19 has shook up our entire world and changed workplace behavior and expectations. Some of you are essential workers who have stayed in your office or place of work throughout this pandemic and helped keep operations running. Others of you are beginning to see what it looks like to open back up offices to work. We've probably become accustomed to working from home but many people are ready to shift back to the idea of a "normal life". What's the best solution to adapt back into life during the continuation of COVID-19? The fact of the matter remains that some employees are ready to be back working full steam while others may be hesitant to step back into a building with other people. Today I want to talk about how to communicate your level of comfort and aligning to your role and your responsibility at work.
