[MINDSET MONDAY]

[00:00:12] KC: Welcome to the Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan, your host and welcome to today’s episode of Mindset Monday. We’ve got a massively healing powerful message to talk about today. So what I want to talk about is noting and what I mean by noting, there’s a meditation technique – and don’t worry, we’re not going to get into meditation and talk about meditation. But I need to describe this technique to you to know how to use this in your life. So what noting is in meditation is you sit and as thoughts arise, you just simply note them. You note them as thinking, you note them as feeling, you note it as whatever it is. You note.

So sometimes for me, if I’m doing some deep work or I have something that to me seems really stressful, but in all honesty it’s not really a big deal, but my mind makes it a big deal. So when something like that happens, the way that I deal with it and it’s just such a powerful technique, and it’s so simple. Is I use the noting technique but I use it a little differently. I simply focus on my feelings and then I write them down. So I’m going to be a little vulnerable here, for me it might look something like this: it might be like, “Fear, panic, run, hide, escape.” And then you notice that there’s a little pause there.

Then it might be like, “Run, hide, fear, relief. Fear, run, sad, fear, relief. Tired, angry, fear, relief, relief, gratitude.” It’s kind of how it works. So wanted to share that. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than that. That wasn’t me actually going through that. That was just sort of recalling how something might go for me, but what happens is whenever I do that I’ll always make a quick prayer first and just for the help and protection of god. Because sometimes when we’re going through these emotions, I dunno? For me, I don’t want to face the emotions. I don’t want to face the feelings, but I know that the second I do, they’ll pass.

So all the negative things that we hold, the negative habits, the patterns, the whatever it is that we hold, it’s from not fully expressing and fully feeling the emotions that are coming through us. So that’s one way to do it. It’s one way to do it. I make a quick prayer before I do it, and then just start writing. And again, write – like feel. What are you feeling in your body? And write that. Don’t get too caught up in what’s going on in your head. Sometimes I might write one or two things that I’m thinking, but really it’s what I’m feeling and the feeling will flow through you by doing that and you’ll get to that – you’ll return to that place of peace, of calmness, of equanimity.

All right, have a beautiful, beautiful week and we’ll talk to you soon. Peace!

[FINAL MESSAGE]

[00:03:42] KC: Hey, Keith here, and today I have a free gift for you. Listen this free gift is a list of the 12 most influential books that I’ve ever read. These are the books that have helped me to create the mindset, learn the philosophies, learn the skills to really create this big, beautiful, life that we’re living now.

I read a crazy amount of books, I really do. I’ve probably read thousands of books and these are the top 12 books that – they’re the ones that I go to, they’re the ones that I work with over, and over, and over again. They are highlighted, outlined, dog-eared. And I put this list together for you because I want it to be a shortcut.

I don’t want you to have to – you don’t have to go out and read the thousands and thousands of books. These are the 12 that I highly recommend. I have a detailed review for each book, explaining why I recommend them, why I like them, when I worked with them in my life, what part of my life they helped me to improve.

So I put this together for you, and made it super each for you to get this list. All you have to do is send a text to the number 33444 and then in the body of that text, type in “12books” with no space. So that’s the number “12books”. Again, send the text message to the number, address it to 33444 and then type in “12books” as the message and just send that. And that’ll get you setup to receive those top 12 most influential books that have had the biggest impact on my life.

[SPONSOR MESSAGE]

[00:05:46] KC: Today’s episode is brought to you by our sister podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. So All About Beachbody Coaching really allows us to do this podcast without having all those annoying commercials in the beginning for you. So All About Beachbody Coaching, the Beachbody business that Amy and I run, actually funds this podcast.

So yes, it does cost money to run this podcast, we do not charge you anything, we don’t throw in commercials or anything like that, it really is, it’s funded by our business and by our other podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. And for me, I’m just eternally grateful for this opportunity because it’s allowed me to really create the life that I love to live.

It’s given me the opportunity to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and even deeper than that, it’s allowed me to help others to create the same for themselves. It’s allowed me to help hundreds of other people become part time or full time Beachbody coaches, to leave that corporate 9 to 5 job and create passive income in their lives.

And really there’s nothing like that. It’s cool when you have success, it’s so much more rewarding when you help others. So I mention this or a few reasons, the first reason is, that’s actually the way that I work with people and mentor people. I don’t do anything outside of Beachbody coaching because I know that it’s such a powerful life changing tool.

So if you’re curious about working with me, interested in working one-on-one, interested in creating the type of life that you wanna live, I suggest swinging over there. The other reason is, even if somebody’s just curious, like you’ve heard about Beachbody, you know there’s a lot of Beachbody coaches out there. Maybe some of them you get a little annoyed with.

It really dives into what this business is really about, which is life transformation. So if you’re just curious, swing over there. And then the other piece is, if you’re really considering becoming a Beachbody coach, I highly, highly recommend you listen to that first.

Alright, much love guys. Again, that is the All About Beachbody Coaching Podcast, our sister podcast.

[00:08:13] ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to the Business of Life Podcast. Apply what you learn today and you’ll be one step closer to creating the life you love to live.
