I once watched a video of Steven Covey show you how to prioritize your day by taking an ice bucket filled with small rocks and having a person try to fit in the big rocks. This video and the exercise that we performed following has always left an impression on me and this new video has an interesting twist that takes you out of the boardroom and really shows the even bigger picture in life. I hope you enjoy it!

Why is it that sometimes you find your self stuck?
We have all been there at some point in our lives when you hit a roadblock of some sort or you get caught up in a "rut". Some of us actually walk around with limiting beliefs saying things like "I can never do that", "I will never lose this weight" or "I could never earn that kind of money". All too many of us just cant step outside of our comfort zone to achieve our goals. Why is that?
Let me introduce you to the subconscious world- Homeostasis. The subconscious physiological process of maintaining a stable physical state of equilibrium regardless of varying external conditions. In other words the state of being in our comfort zone.Think about when you have had to speak in front of a group and you notice physical changes in your body for example, sweaty palms, butterfly's in your stomach etc. These are reactions to our bodies fight or flight mechanism. Which I think is a great analogy to what we do to our selves when we are working towards any kind of a goal. Some of us choose to fight and some of us choose flight or flee. When we flee the situation we stay in our "rut" we give in to those limiting beliefs and we remain stuck. However when we choose to fight through our comfort zone we manage the subconscious stress associated with change and we achieve our goal. We grow!
So how do you fight through your comfort zone? Consider the conscious versus the subconscious or real versus imagined. I encourage you to check out a book by Dr. Maxwell maltz who wrote Pscho-Cybernetics. In it he states:
"Change occurs not by intellect, and not by intelligence; change is brought about by experience. Remember, experiencing is the same to the subconscious mind as imagining. The subconscious mind does not know the difference between real and unreal. It accepts what you feed it".
So start feeding your mind with unlimited beliefs. "I can do it" "I will lose the weight" "I can earn that kind of money". With that going for you the opportunities our boundless!
