Let’s talk about energy, shall we?

Energy has been at the top of my mind lately. I’m the kind of guy who’s up at 4, crushing goals, kicking butt at work, working on special projects—you name it. Usually, I’m full of energy. But lately, my energy has been at an all-time low, and, to be honest, it stresses me out.

Maybe it’s the COVID-19 pandemic, the quarantine, a brand new job, missing the gym, or lacking my normal routine—who knows—but I’ve felt completely drained for the past two or three months.

So, when Stephanie Scheller reached out about coming on the podcast to talk about energy, I was pumped! Stephanie is an expert when it comes to investing energy in things that give you a positive energy ROI, and we’re diving into it today.

Are you feeling drained? Low on energy? Do you wish you had more energy to do the things you enjoy?

I hope you’ll join Stephanie and me for this exciting discussion. I needed this chat, and trust me, quarantine or not, you probably need to hear this too. So, what do you say? Join us?

Let’s do this!

Hey, what’s up, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Daily New Year’s podcast. Today we’re talking to someone who lives her life on the go. Some part of me has always wanted to live in an RV while traveling the country, and Glenda Hoon Russell of the Status Foe is doing just that, but that’s not all she’s doing.

I don’t want to spoil her story, but after the passing of both her parents, both of which were newly retired and “ready to start living,” Glenda and her husband, Kris, decided that they wanted to start living life sooner rather than later.

Why do we wait to live our lives after retirement? Why do so many of us fall victim to the status quo? How is it possible to find freedom at any stage in life? How can we afford to find freedom if we don’t have a huge savings account?

Glenda Hoon Russell has found the answers to these questions and more, and she’s sharing them with us here, on the Daily New Year’s Podcast.

Are you ready to ditch the status quo? Are you ready to find your freedom so that you can start living TODAY? Tune in and enjoy this exciting episode of the podcast.

Here we go!

Recently I’ve been releasing more content on health, wellness, mindset, psychology, sleep habits, and nutrition and less about goal-setting strategies, prioritization techniques, and other content that is zeroed in on goal setting.

Why?

Because, as Goal Getters, we can’t maintain long-term, high-performance in our lives without good health, both mentally and physically. External, physical health is easier to see, but mental health, more specifically, what’s going on in our brains, is nearly impossible to see.

Poor nutrition, insufficient sleep, too much screen time, excessive exposure to negativity—all of these things can have lasting effects on the brain, causing poor focus, memory issues, and more. How can we Crush Our Goals if our brains aren’t operating at 100%?

We can’t!

Joining us today is Nick Bolhuis and he’s going to provide a mountain of valuable takeaways that we can all use to improve our brain health, our focus, our performance, and so much more.

Are you ready? Let’s do this!

Hey, what’s up, everyone! Welcome back to another exciting episode of the Daily New Year’s podcast. I’m so excited today because I’m featuring one of my self-published classmates from Chandler Bolt’s Self-Publishing School.

Joining us today is Jennifer Teske. I was on the launch team for Jennifer’s book Live, Love, and Hack Life: A Fresh Look at Understanding Law of Attraction. When I read it, I knew I just had to have her on the podcast.

I used to have serious doubts about the Law of Attraction and overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs through the power of self-affirmations—until I read this book. Whether you’re totally new to Law of Attraction, or you have doubts of your own, this episode of the podcast is for you. Tune in, check it out, and be sure to grab a copy of Jen’s book.

Let’s go!

Recently I was reading the book GOALS! by Brian Tracy and he touched on an exciting discovery made by Dr. Charles Garfield.

Dr. Garfield studied peak performers for more than 20 years, and he specifically analyzed men and women who had only achieved average results for many years but then suddenly achieved massive success in a very short amount of time.

When he sought the answer to their sudden success, he found that all of these individuals had begun using blue-sky thinking, and that’s what we’re talking about on the podcast today.

Let’s go!

On an episode of the SUCCESS Talks podcast, the Success staff played an archived clip from Jim Rohn where he outlined “The Simple Art of Goal Setting.” His method of goal setting is one that he learned from his mentor, John Earl Shoaff, at the early age of 25 and it goes something like this:

1. Decide what you want.

2. Write it down. Make a list.

3. Keep the old lists.

4. Check things off your list.

Pretty simple, right?

So how can we put Jim’s 4 step goal-setting practice into place in our own lives? I’ve covered it in detail on this week’s episode of the Daily New Years podcast.

“Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone.” 

A Brief Look at my 2019 Goals [00:56]

• I’m going to run a half-marathon
• I’m finally going to go sky diving!
• I’m going to read another 12 books this year.
• “What goals can I set that will take me beyond my comfort zone

Quotes and Resources from the Jordan Harbinger Show [03:08]

Jordan Harbinger Show, Ep. 60: Todd Kashdan | The Bright Truth about Your Dark Side

“We can make ourselves comfortable by altering the temperature of the room, altering the comfort of our chair, choosing carefully manicured websites that match my political views, hang out with people that think like me and look like me. This is what people do in society.” ~ Todd Kashdan

“This cultural push to offer you strategies to be comfortable has made us weaker. If you don’t work out muscles, they atrophy. If you don’t exercise regularly, your bones become brittle. If your immune system isn’t tested by walking outside, it ends up being weakened. In the same way psychologically […] as we acquire more physical and emotional comforts and even handicaps to help us get through life, so we feel soft and comfortable and pleasurable all the time, we are mentally weaker when exposed to ambiguous and challenging situations.” ~ Todd Kashdan

The Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self — Not Just Your “Good” Self — Drives Success and Fulfillment.

Ask Yourself These 3 Questions to Help Get Out of Your Comfort Zone

1. “What will I gain from this opportunity?” [07:00]

Look for the reward in the opportunity instead of focusing on the risk.

2. “What’s the worst that could happen?” [10:26]

Tim Ferris’s practice of fear setting can help you break free of your comfort zone and realize there is nothing to fear.

3. “Where will I be in 5 years if I take the easy route?” [12:56]

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” ~ Henry Ford

Avoiding discomfort may feel okay today, but where will that lead you tomorrow? How about five years from now?

A Challenge to Overcome Comfort [14:52]

I want to challenge you to start overcoming your addiction to comfort today. Identify one thing that you’ve been avoiding and ask yourself these three questions:

1. “What will I gain from this opportunity?”
2. “What’s the worst that could happen?”
3. “Where will I be in 5 years if I take the easy route?”

Quotes and Links from this Episode

Sometimes, to set long-term, future goals, it’s best to explore your past. Try to answer these questions:

1. What are some of your most significant accomplishments so far?
2. Of your accomplishments, which ones made you most excited?
3. Could you expand on those accomplishments and take them further? Could you build on them? If so, how?

If that doesn’t work, try this one instead:

“What does my life look like in 3-5 years?”

[08:40]

If you’re new to DNY, check out our About page and you’ll see that we’re all about starting new things and setting new goals any day of the year.

Practice breaking your annual goals down into 90-day segments.

Only focus on 2-3 goals per quarter.

[11:40]

The next two goal types are based on Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus Planner, which you can learn more about here.

Achievement goals tend to follow the S.M.A.R.T. goal framework:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Action-oriented
• Risky
• Time-keyed

In my opinion, achievement Goals always work best when you have an award waiting at the end. Make it so good that you can’t wait to achieve your goal!

Break your bigger goals down into daily and weekly habits for better success and sustainability.

Learn more about habit goals here.
