When we define failure on our terms, we are able to see failure as an event, not as who we are. We are able to keep pushing outsides our comfort zone because that is how we learn and grow. In this episode, Dr. Cindra shares with us how to see failure as an opportunity.
This Week’s Power Phrase: “I see failure and mistakes as opportunity to learn and grow. I take an easy-going approach when I fail."
Quote of the Week: Zig Ziglar said it best, “Failure is an event, never a person; an attitude, not an outcome; a temporary inconvenience; a stepping stone. Our response to it determines just how helpful it can be.”

In this episode, Dr. Kamphoff shares about how to show yourself more self-compassion.
This week’s Power Phrase: “I am kind to myself. I remind myself I am doing the best I can.”

Did you know that research in the field of positive psychology shows that up to 40% of our happiness can be changed by engaging in daily, intentional activities that impact how we act and think?

Your inner critic is your disempowering inner voice. We all have an inner critic inside of us. We want to be aware of our inner critic to reduce it. Remember our inner critic tends to lie to us.

This Week's Power Phrase: “I talk to myself powerful instead of listening to my inner critic.”
Quote of the Week: “Don’t beat yourself up for beating yourself up. We need to make friends with our inner critic.” Kristen Neff
