    Why you should have boundaries

    Hey,

    Welcome to another episode of the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast, and today I’m talking all about boundaries.

    Boundaries are a bit of a secret sauce to achieving freedom, as boundaries provide space, and allow you to work in a way that suits you.

    In this episode I talk about:

    Why I resisted boundaries

    How boundaries provide space and freedom

    How to create and implement them

    And the benefits of creating them for yourself.

    Have a listen and I’d love to know your thoughts so feel free to leave a comment and of course don’t forget to subscribe or share with someone you think would benefit.

     

    See you soon

    How your out of date habits are stopping your success

    If you’ve ever wondered why you seem to be super busy all through the day and you still haven’t got the results that you really want,
    more often than not, the answer is in your habits.

    Our days are literally full to the brim with habits. From the second we get up to the second we go to sleep it is non stop habits.I mean, have you ever tried brushing your teeth with the ‘wrong’ hand? Or showered yourself in a different order?

    Give it a go…it’s an experience I can tell you.

    Now although habits are pretty handy, as its our brains way of putting us on autopilot so we don’t have to think about every little thing, the problem is that we also have what I call ‘out of date’ habits.

    These are habits that you’re still doing, but they no longer serve you…in fact they’re now costing you.

    Costing you time.
    Costing you money
    Costing you your well-being

    But yet we still do them.

    So in this episode of the Smash Your Own Ceiling Podcast I’m going to share a personal story of when I spotted an out of date habit and what I did about it. And I’ll also share how to spot these these habits that are no longer serving you….AND why you should bother doing this at all.

    Click here to check it out, and please feel free to share with anyone who would also benefit from having a listen.

    BUT before you go and have a listen I just want to let you know that I’m doing a LIVE Workshop on ‘How to finally stop holding yourself back AND get the momentum you want’ on the 24th March at 7pm UK / 2pm EST and I’d love you to come and join me.

    Have a fab weekend and I’ll speak to you soon
