Core Desired Feelings. A better way to get what you want

If you’re someone who loves setting goals, but often you fall short.. guess what – you’re normal!  Danielle La Porte believes we’ve been doing things backwards. Turns out, this whole approach of stating what we want and then taking action does NOT work well for most humans.

La Porte says we’re doing goals all wrong. She should know, she’s one of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 & has been featured in Forbes magazine as one of the top business coaches. Danielle teaches people how to keep ” their souls on the agenda”  I gotta say her ” Desire Map” System works super well. Try these 3 steps below

Don’t think then Act. Feel first, Strategize second THEN  Take Action

“It’s not the particular achievement or getting the thing that’s really driving us.. What we’re going for is the FEELING we want to feel when we get what we want” –  Danielle La Porte

  • Start from your heart.  STOP acting from your head. Going from Thoughts to Actions just doesn’t work.. our heads get in the way.

USE this simple 3 step process

1. Write out your ” Core Desired Feelings”

This is 3-4 words that clearly state how you want to feel at all given moments throughout your day ( Put your Soul on your Agenda!)  Here’s mine:  Released, Beautiful, Content, Present, Prosperous

No matter what I’m doing;  grocery shopping, research, coaching a student, working out, cleaning… I want to feel like I am Listening, Trusting (of myself) Easeful, Truthful, Present & DecisiveEach of these words hold a lot of meaning for me.  Now! Come up with 3-6 of your own

2.  Write them out – Put them in your phone & 4-5 pieces of paper to put all around you- Wallet, glovebox, satchel, fridge door & bathroom mirror.

3.  Put these words to EVERYTHING you do.  How you cook at home, how you show up for work,  how you approach your workout, how you pick out your Netflix shows.

Put your soul on your agenda EVERY DAY = See your CDF’s

Feelings FIRST, Perception SECOND, Thoughts THIRD…

Your feelings determine your perception and THAT drives your thoughts into action!

Now as you step up to that next thing you know you gotta do, but don’t really FEEL like doing – pull out your CDF’s .. will this thing make you feel any of your CDF’s?

  1. 5 min meditation over social media
  2. moving outside over grinding through computer work
  3.  Stopping and listening to a loved one over working on your checklist for the day.

It’s been a total GAME CHANGER for me I’m  more decisive & ease-fully driven. That’s huge.

 Feelings first, THEN strategy. Go from 1. Your Heart (how you feel) THEN 2. Your PERCEPTION (how you want to view things) THEN 3. Your Thoughts  then you take action with that next best step

I hope this helps you and you totally enjoy it.  If you need someone to keep you on track and accountable .. that’s my bag. shoot me a text of email and I’ll keep you going strong!

DANCE Vid

So – I had to find something to do between High Strength sets.  But I can’t be super active.. I gotta save up my strength, energy & focus for that next strong 1 rep set!

So – rather than look at my phone  (BAD!) or Strut my ego in the mirror- I dance!

Try it out- super great for your health on tons of levels – CLICK HERE to learn Science behind all this

Do a high strength set  1-5 reps of something that works a whole lotta muscles at once ( Push Ups, Pull ups, swings, Front squats, overhead press..)

then shake yo’ bootay for a good 2-3 mins.. don’t worry bout how you look- just get the feel of the beat in your headphones / around you.. and move with that.  It’s such great stuff!

Enjoy 🙂

PLAY Science

Get this super cool fact:

PLAY makes you smarter, leaner and less prone to depression. And it’s Totally Scientifically Proven!

Check out Dr. Stuart Brown’s TED Talk- on the necessity of PLAY for all Adults

https://www.ted.com/speakers/stuart_brown  

If you need a chuckle or an idea of how to put more play in your day… CLICK HERE to see what I do:)

(The leaner part.. scroll below vid for explanation )

So Doc Brown gave you all the goods on how play helps our mental health and intelligence.

But what about that fat burning part?  Well- Check this out!

Your brain is a huge calorie burner.  You turn that sucker on and you can torch fat.

That’s why SKILL based moves (kettlebell, martial arts, karate, boxing, yoga… stuff that makes you tune in and think)  create leaner and happier people!

Your brain is full of metabolically active tissue (due to densely packed mitochondria).  There are only 2 other organs that burn more calories..first your liver, then your heart!

When you play, you are creative, innovative.. turning your brain and body on!

Sooo… let your freak flag wave – be you.. play how you like:)
