5 Benefits of Group Coaching

By M-Power

You know I’m a fan of group coaching, but you may still be hesitant. And that’s o.k. I want to share with you what a real member of Live On Purpose Central said about the group coaching we do weekly. This is part of the actual email: Getting your advice is really helpful. Little snippets of information on how to apply simple models to my life gives me new ways of thinking. Being in front of other people and being recorded pushes me to do more summary thinking which I find has added power to change my thinking and habits. Hearing other people struggle helps promote positive evaluation (e.g., it is normal to struggle) Hearing other people’s stories gives me a story bank to remember and talk about the application of the principles / models Hearing other people’s stories gives me the opportunity to try and solve their problems (e.g.,…

The Best of Intentions and Why That Isn’t Good Enough

By M-Power

Intentions We have the best of them. We are not going to yell anymore. We are not going to snip back at our co-worker. We are going to clean the house. We are going to workout. And then… You know how it goes. Only now, we did what we said we weren’t going to do and we didn’t didn’t do what we said we were going to do.  Ugh! Why does this happen? Because we haven’t trained our brain to do something different. We haven’t given our brain and our bodies the tools they need to do something different. We CAN train our brains to respond differently. We CAN train our brains to think differently. I did it and you can also. There is nothing wrong with you, you just don’t have the tools you need in your toolbox to get you to where you want to go. I have…

You Can Make Your Life Less Frustrating with This One Tip

By M-Power

When I learned this one tip, life got easier. Detach from the outcomes. This makes sense because can we really control the outcome? Probably not.  Have you ever been absolutely sure of what should happen?  Not kind of hoped for, but you absolutely KNEW what the outcome needed to be to ensure your future happiness and success. And probably that of your spouse and children, (eye roll). And then something other than what you were sure was the best option was chosen. Now what do you do?  Consider challenging your perception of the outcome. Is the world going to come to an end?  Are you never going to be happy? Is your life over? NO! When you are feeling tipped over or upset about something, stand back. There is almost always more than one solution to a problem. More than one path to a goal. Allow yourself to become more…

Perception vs. Reality

By M-Power

Our perception of the world can change. It doesn’t mean the world has changed. It hasn’t. Perception does not change reality. A shift in perception CAN change how we see ourselves in relation to the world (or your child, partner, boss, etc.). A shift can give us an idea, resolve, or hope. A shift can empower us to alter our circumstances. A shift can help us to take a step forward when we have been frozen. Need help getting a new perspective? www.drpauljenkins.com/breakthroughcall

This is Better Than Luck

By M-Power

The Luck of the Irish St. Patrick’s Day has a lot of fun traditions. Wear green so you don’t get pinched. Eat corned beef and cabbage. (I don’t mind the green frosted sugar cookies either). Discover the pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. Find a leprechaun and they have to grant a wish for their release. And, I have been down on my knees more than once searching for the elusive 4-leaf clover. Most of these traditions are associated with luck, and the Irish are sometimes called a lucky people. They seem to be able to land on their feet when adversity comes or make the best of very unfortunate circumstances. More than one Irish immigrant had adversity heaped on them when they came to America and many were not beaten down but rose above. They are a resilient people. They don’t give up when times get…

Three Magical Letters

By M-Power

Three ordinary letters when placed in the right order can cause a paradigm shift of monumental proportions. Y          E          T As in, “I can’t do that!”    -or-     “I can’t do that, yet.” “I’m not good enough!”    -or-      “I’m not good enough, yet.”   “This doesn’t work!”      -or-      “This doesn’t work, yet.” Can you feel the difference? One is closure, the other is open ended. One is a statement, the other has possibility lurking in the pause. We are given permission to acknowledge we have some work to do AND it creates excitement in thinking about future possibilities that will motivate us. Play with it for a minute and see what it does for you. Do you know where I was reminded of this recently? In a child’s book, The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi. And she is so right. There are so…

The Surprising Truth About Group Coaching

By M-Power

One of the biggest benefits of a membership at Live On Purpose Central is the Group Coaching that occurs there every week. If you are a little wary of group coaching, you are not alone. Yet, it is a powerful tool that has helped many people IF we can get over the hesitation. (And, we can!) Have you ever thought… My problems are unique to me, no one else will understand.  I would NEVER talk about my problems in front of others. I would be afraid they were judging me. How can hearing Dr. Paul talk to another person about their problems with their in-laws help me with my problems with my kids? Or work? Or relationships? The truth is you are not alone. Those in our community have lots of empathy and they are supportive and helpful. What is talked about in the group, stays in the group.  When someone outlines what is…

The Possibility

By M-Power

Often when I meet people they aren’t at the best place they have ever been in their lives. They may have been beaten down by another person, circumstances, the economy, or themselves. Regardless, they often feel that they have tried EVERYTHING. In fact, they tell me they have. There is nothing else for them to do. And I ask them to hold open the possibility that there is something else. There is a possibility that a different way to think exists and that can take them out of the place they feel they are stuck in. It is what is available at Live On Purpose Central, our membership site. Check it out and see if there is a possibility for you in the place where you are stuck. DrPaul

Positive and Negative Emotions Can’t Co-Exist

By M-Power

Have you noticed how some things can’t exist together? They are both exist, but they can’t inhabit the same space at the same time. Take light and darkness for example. The light may be dim, but there is still light. We can’t place all the light in one part of a room. It is the same with our thoughts. Napoleon Hill said, “Positive and negative emotions cannot occupy the mind at the same time. One or the other must dominate. It is your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions constitute the dominating influence of your mind.” For most people this means some cognitive work. For most people default is down and that means negative thoughts. When we begin to think negative thoughts, we have to consciously replace them with positive thoughts. It isn’t enough to get rid of the negative thoughts. Your brain cannot be empty. We call that…

How To Get Your Kids To Listen Without Yelling

By M-Power

Take Control of You and Your Home I promise myself I am not going to yell and do good for a day or so, then find myself back in my bad habits, help me to stop. I hear myself yelling and it reminds me of my mom. I don’t want to raise my kids like I was raised. I can see the hurt in my kids eyes when I yell, but how do I get them to listen? My kids have trained me to yell, how do I take control? I feel like a complete failure as a parent. Help. If you have ever felt like this, you are not alone. But you probably felt like you were. So, when we launched Live On Purpose TV on YouTube, it was one of the first videos I recorded to help parents. And it is still one of the most popular videos…
