Being your Own Life Coach | John Muldoon | TEDxShanghaiAmericanSchoolPuxi

I have a notebook with 76 things that I am thankful and number 76 is actually youtube recommending me this video

My mom use to tell me she was proud of me and how much she loved me so after she died a would flash back automatically to her saying those things when things would get rough times so she made a positive impression that will last my entire life. So always give positive words to the people you love including yourself.

1. Give sincere thanks 3 times a day. 2. Be great. Say you’re great. So simple yet so effective. Great talk!

I bet dad had those tapes going in the car not just for himself...🙌🏼👏🏼dad💯

Living out of my truck because of things out of my control, but the happiest I’ve ever been listening to Ted talks like this. You are the voice on my cassette

As a father I can tell you that there is a big chance your dad did not have those tapes in the car only for himself... I am going through a rough time in my life (100% sure I'll get through) and Iisten to ted talks and CD's while my son is in the car with me on purpose. I want my son to ge the wisdom for life before he actually needs it.

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside; dreams. Who looks inside; awakes.” 🌻

As much as we control our mind and thoughts, I believe it is essential to seek professional help especially in areas of lacking. Personally, having overcome the pressure of loan debts following a life coach's advice and building up my finances with the help of one too, I do know the prominence of one to keep you going when times are tough.

1 - Choose to live an integrous life. Integrity in your daily routine. 2 - Choose to pass your wisdom on not your suffering, your woe, and/or your trauma. Your Wisdom or your woe - choose your wisdom. 3 - Choose to take risks don’t wait for proof. Don’t default to regrets. The majority of your fears don’t come true. Don’t look backwards for guidance - don’t look far over to chart new … who you were doesn’t know. Seek the unknown as the possible in your newness…and nowness. 4 - Choose new words. Every word is a new universe at your service. These words have power to heal, frequencies to restore, vibrations to revitalise, energy to empower, momentum to transform. 5 - choose to get up every day and bless your day. Base your gratitude for your new day on your being alive. This day will never come again. My addition 6 - Learn to say “no” to time wasting - both yours and others that may impact your life negatively. 7 - In a life of wisely practised “no’s” Dedicate one “yes” (no matter how small) to a spiritual inspiration gifted to you in your dreams. They only come once in a lifetime … (only on the rarest of occasion will two be gifted to an individual). When you say yes to that special dream you are dedicating your commitment to unborn generations long after your lifetime … the fruits of your dedication you shall not taste in your lifetime - but you “should” say yes to that dream never-the-less and manage any time wasting that seeks to derail your commitment. For dreams like these are answers to prayers your ancestors offered for you in their time as guiding wisdom you may employ to sow the seeds of inspiration as spiritual food your grandchildren’s grandchildren 7 generations beyond your life. Caroline Myss’s top 5 (plus 2)

Be your own coach 1. Identify your emotional patterns 2. Identify what you want to be — the opposite of bad emotional patterns 3. Consciously change your thinking pattern to be more positive

I started doing exactly what he told us to do about a year or two ago and I've found peace and joy since then. If you found this video you are lucky, watch it and absorb as much as you can and your life will change.

As a life coach, you don't need to trick yourself. One thing that helps is to shift your focus from "Me, my, myself, I" to the rest of the world. A lot of suffering comes from the self-focus. Look at how many times he uses these words. You can definitely coach yourself though, but you have to learn how. A lot is shifting away from the ego (what people think of you, writing narratives in your mind so you feel better), to asking questions like "What can I do about this?" And then taking small actions towards it.

The how he gives - 1. Identify emotion/behavioral pattern 2. Source it 3. Think about what/who you want to become (goal) 4. Override the old behavioral patterns w new ones.

I have never seen or heard of this guy until today. I'm thankful that he showed up in my recommendation.

A testament to the power of teachers.

I will never forget my American History teacher, Mr. Hague, for believing in me when I didn’t know who I was. History teachers rock!!!

I adore the manner in which he does the speech. Conversational like. I, like so many, can retain much more when I don't feel information is thrown AT me vs. SHARED in a conversational style. Major kudos for this. 👍👍

This was great. I feel like he was totally himself just telling his story.

Right. Like my Mom never loving me and telling me all my life that I was bad. So. I believe that I am bad even though I don't believe that I am bad...I have been struggling all my life...I am going to tell myself everyday positive things. I am really hard on myself. I will be great and I will be grateful.

This should be called “ How to HEAL” ❤️
