Nov 27, 2020 8m 54s 8 insights
The power to achieve anything you want in life is within you - whether it’s improving your health, starting a business or getting a relationship back on track. Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my new weekly podcast for your mind, body and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests. This week’s guest is Marie Forleo, a US entrepreneur, writer, philanthropist and an unshakeable optimist. Marie explains why a growth mindset is so important and how comparing ourselves to the curated lives of others online can be toxic. She suggests practical ways we can counteract this by choosing to create before we consume. Marie has interviewed many successful and influential people and she reveals the one thing that they all have in common. She believes you should do everything you can to follow your dreams. Your contribution and voice matter and your gift is unique - there never has been or ever will be another you.

Actionable Insights

1. Cultivate Belief in Change

Recognize that 80-90% of achieving any personal change is believing it’s possible, as a lack of belief will prevent you from making progress.

2. Embrace Growth Mindset

Adopt a growth mindset by understanding that your talents are a starting block, and you can improve through effort, dedication, and embracing challenges and failures as learning opportunities.

3. Believe in Your Value

Cultivate a strong belief that your unique contribution, voice, ideas, product, or service has inherent merit and value, and that it can genuinely make a difference.

4. Share Your Unique Gifts

Bring your dreams, gifts, products, or messages to life and share them with the world, because your unique genius is irreplaceable, and not doing so deprives those who need you most.

5. Create Before Consuming

Build the habit of creating before consuming by engaging in activities like meditation, writing, or working out in the morning, rather than immediately scrolling feeds or checking emails, to shift your ratio towards more creation.

6. Avoid Social Comparison

Recognize that comparing yourself to others is ‘creative kryptonite’ and a losing proposition that will never make you feel good, taking you off track from your own gifts and goals.

7. Support Gut Microbiome

Consider consuming AG1 daily to support digestion and enrich your gut microbiome, as its five strains of gut bacteria have been shown to increase beneficial bacteria.
