Joe DiStefano: When Willpower Wanes: How To Know When it's Time to Go 58:47

You can be in one of the best jobs ever, but when you feel out of alignment, start relying on willpower to get you through a day, or feel like your best energy could be spent elsewhere, it might be time to seek new opportunities. Joe DiStefano has had fabulous career opportunities come his way but ultimately knew that he was happiest on his own with his health company, RUNGA, and podcast, Stacked. Joe was instrumental in developing the training program for a popular obstacle and strength course. These types of training programs, and others, like Crossfit, have been massive in getting more people interested in fitness who never have been before. But Joe feels that certain types of fitness, especially ones where you treat your body pretty brutally, can be counterproductive to wellness. So Joe decided to listen to and trust what his gut was saying, that working for this type of company isn’t the right business for him. The decision came parallel with a willpower decision; he felt like he wasn’t living in line with his passion and his best energy was being spent away from his career. When the job you’re doing is taking more energy to get there and more willpower to see through a day, it’s impacting your performance, the energy at the company, and ultimately, your entire career. Joe knew he needed to invest his energy into something that wasn’t a struggle to get through. Motivation is good in theory, but shouldn’t be necessary in practice. Instead of quitting for the sake of quitting or to make a bilateral move, Joe made a strategic quit that was going to improve the quality of his life and career. The thing that holds back most people who are thinking about quitting is the thought that if they go, they won’t have their benefits, or secure income, or the money to keep paying the loan on the latest Mercedes. But there is so much abundance in the universe, we just need to trust. And quit that scarcity mindset! What helps Joe is actually picturing the worst-case scenario. By thinking about how you would handle the worst thing that could happen if you quit, you’ll probably realize it won’t be as bad as you fear. We also talk about moving forward after a business disaster, finding incredible opportunities, and the most valuable skill we can all nurture. Are you scared of quitting what doesn’t serve you anymore? Do you find that you need to rely on your willpower to get you through the day more often than not? How can you be more mindful with your career intentions? Let us know in the comments on the episode page ! In This Episode: How fitness can be counterproductive to wellness Why you need to learn to listen to and trust your gut Why you need to invest your best energy in a career that doesn’t need the willpower to stay motivated What the difference between a quit and a strategic quit are Why you need to quit your scarcity mindset What happens when you envision the worst-case scenario How a huge business disaster can lead you to incredible opportunities Why self-reliance is the most valuable skill we can have Quotes: “When you’re doing something you’re meant to do and you’re in alignment and you are honest with yourself, willpower and “motivation” isn’t a thing.” (17:35) “Maybe you just have a purpose to share, like Mozart did… You’re never going to be able to put your best energy into those things if you’re using willpower. Because willpower is not really a thing, that’s called resistance.” (20:38) “You’ve got to be open to whatever happens and be very aware of the worst-case scenario.” (40:41) READY TO MAKE QUIT HAPPEN? Then you’re in luck! Because my online course, Make Quit Happen , is available to start now!

Sara Sheehan: Quit Letting the Chorus of Voices in Your Head Dictate Your Decisions 33:42

The first thing you need to get rid of when you’re ready for transformation is that negative voice in your head. Imposter syndrome and negative self-talk will always hold you back. Sara Sheehan guides and talks to people about their transformation with her course and program, Wake Up Transformation. Sara actively encourages you to push through your negative self-talk. You are more than what the voice in your head is telling you! And if you find yourself negatively spiraling and like your life is out of control, there are ways you can turn that drift upwards into a positive life outcome. If you’re experiencing an identity crisis, for example, from a quit that’s lead to a huge part of your life not existing anymore, you’re not alone. There are so many ways you can help yourself through something like this. Sara shares some of the ways you can work through an identity crisis, including meditation. You’ve probably heard people talking about their 5-year plan. Sara and I both have a problem with the 5-year plan… we’ve changed so much in the last 5 years, how will we know who we’re going to be in the next 5? By creating a plan like this, and the same goes for those new year’s resolutions, you might be thinking too small and not allowing for deviations on the plan that might bring you into your higher self. Sara recommends thinking back to what you wanted to be and do when you were 10 years old. When we embrace our hobbies and the things we loved when we were a child, we’ll reconnect back to our state of flow. And the flow is where the magic happens. Finally, Sara explains why you can’t have a healthy transformation when you’re in a toxic environment. It’s essential that you leave unhealthy situations, relationships, or aspects of them in order to truly transform your life. What does your negative self-talk sound like? How can you reframe that voice into a positive? Where do you feel most in your flow? Let us know in the comments on the episode page ! In This Episode: Why you need to say good-bye to the negative thoughts in your head How you can push through your negative self-talk How a negative spiral can become a positive What you can do to help yourself through an identity crisis What the problem with 5-year plans is How embracing your inner hobbies can connect you back to your flow state Why you need to distance yourself from toxic environments Quotes: “Other people have insecurities, too, but that shouldn’t stop you. Sometimes the greatest thing you can do is face your fear and get ahead of it.” (5:30) “At the end of an identity crisis, you are still you.” (17:08) “Sometimes the thing you have to quit is listening to other people.” (25:05) “Once you’ve got that self-love, it’s easier to see which relationships are not serving you. Because if somebody’s not treating you as well as you treat you, why would you subject yourself to that person?” (28:45) READY TO MAKE QUIT HAPPEN? Then you’re in luck!

Quitting is always difficult, but quitting the only life you’ve ever known comes with a unique set of obstacles and hurdles to overcome. Today’s guest, Coach Tara Garrison , was living the perfect Mormon life, but deep down, she knew something didn’t feel right. This is her story of how she listened to her gut, quit her life, and changed her destiny. Tara had it all - the marriage, the 4 kids, the community and friends, the Mormon education… but something didn’t feel right to her. When she started learning more about health and nutrition and living a more natural life, she started to feel more awake and aware of where she was in her life. It helped her realize that everything she questioned since she studied the Book of Mormon at university was her body telling her she wasn’t living where the Universe wanted her to. Following a divorce with her husband, Tara braved the consequences of leaving her Mormon life behind and left the church. She didn’t have a plan, literally zero dollars to her name, and ended up couch surfing, before finally hitting a break with a personal trainer friend of hers. After taking her life into her own hands, Tara is now working as a successful health and wellness coach. And once she made the decision to start her own coaching business, all the pieces started fitting into place. In this episode, we’re talking about why you need to feel and experience the pain you’re going through in order to understand what a situation is trying to tell you. Tara also explains what happened to her social and community life when she left the Mormon church, but why going through this hardship was still the best decision for her. Plus, how taking risks and quitting can lead you to take on new experiences you never would have considered in your old life. Knowing how to break down the stressful thoughts and feelings you’re going through is so beneficial to working through them and understanding other perspectives. But regardless of how other people feel about a situation, it’s more important to live in your truth and follow what you need to do to be a healthier version of yourself. When you do this, the Universe will start providing bountiful opportunities for you. How do you feel when you’re in a situation you don’t like? Do you know how to deal with emotions that arise, even after you thought you left them behind you? Have you ever quit the only life you’ve ever known? Let me know in the comments ! In This Episode: Why you shouldn’t disconnect from emotional pain you’re experiencing How quitting something can contribute to intense social anxiety What new experiences quitting something can lead to Why it’s important not to replace what you’ve left behind with the first opportunity you come across How to handle the emotions that resurface when you meet someone from the life you left How you can take a stressful thought and break it down to understand where it comes from Why you should do whatever you need to do in order to come out the other side as a healthier version of yourself What it’s like when you start living with your heart How to recognize when you fall back into old patterns Who the most important person for you to rely on is How to know if you’ve made the right quit in your life Quotes: “I’ve had to learn to speak up and talk when you’re going through pain and you’re going through hard times.” (5:00) “It’s my job to have forgiveness and compassion and love, no matter what. And to not give or surrender my power to them.” (19:10) “The Universe just started saying yes, and yes, and yes, and yes as soon as I started putting myself out there and acting.” (32:20) Links: Find Tara Garrison on online Follow Tara on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube Check out the full episode post here Keep up with everything Quit Happens here Follow Lynn Marie on Twitter | Facebook | LinkedIn | Instagram Podcast production support by the fine folks at Counterweight Creative…
