We’ve all been there, uninspired, unmotivated and stuck! As Yoda said, “Don’t’ think just do”! Actually I don’t know if Yoda said that, but in my head I hear his voice so we’ll just role with it! That’s really what life is about, either waiting for inspiration to appear – the heavens open and a lightning bolt strikes or taking personal control by looking internally. Putting one foot in front of the other, changing your scenery, your movement and perspective to physically pull yourself out of a funk.

Most people remember the inspirational movie Rudy.  It’s a feel good movie, where the underdog takes the path of most resistance and wins.  What if we didn’t take this path?  What if we focused on our TALENTS instead of our shortcomings? According to the book Strengths Finder 2.0 we would be 6x’s more engaged in our work and 3x’s more likely to say we are happier!  Tune in today where we discuss how we can invest in our talents (personality) to really build and develop skills that allow us to craft a truly exceptional life that is in flow with who we really are.  When we start being authentic to ourselves we can achieve so much more than doing what everyone else is doing. “Subscribe and rate us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/inside-the-champions-mind/id585020176?mt=2 Listen to us on The Wellness Couch: http://thewellnesscouch.com///category/itcm Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC269QPPIi69wH6Shyp2cW4w Website: www.insidethechampionsmind.com Follow Laurence Tham on: FB: laurence.tham Instagram: laurencetham Email: laurence@drlaurencetham.com Website: www.laurencetham.com” Are you ready to take your Health & Nutrition education to the next level?

We recently had the privilege of interviewing J.J. Virgin and something she said really stuck with me, “little hinges swing big doors”. What does this mean? It means that everything in life starts with the little things, the baby steps. So often we get stuck on the “How”, we let fear stop us and when things become tough we think that it’s not meant to be. In order to grow and re-invent ourselves we need to know our vision, surround ourselves with the “right” mentors and not be afraid to experiment. The best things in life are often on the other side of the fear and terror that holds us back. What’s holding you back today? “Subscribe and rate us on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/inside-the-champions-mind/id585020176?mt=2 Listen to us on The Wellness Couch: http://thewellnesscouch.com///category/itcm Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC269QPPIi69wH6Shyp2cW4w Website: www.insidethechampionsmind.com Follow Laurence Tham on: FB: laurence.tham Instagram: laurencetham Email: laurence@drlaurencetham.com Website: www.laurencetham.com” Are you ready to take your Health & Nutrition education to the next level?

As Steven Furtick said, “The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel”.
