They don’t suppress emotions, but embrace is and get back to the present moment.

"I am aware of my focus. I don’t hope I have a great day – I make it a great day!"

“Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have.” ―Jim Rohn

In this episode, Cindra talks with TJ and Lisa about how high performers are aware of the energy they bring to conversations and situations. They notice the energy they bring and make adjustments as necessary. They decide to be an energy generator. They celebrate others. And they keep their positive energy high, so their or other people’s negativity can’t leak in.

This Week’s Power Phrase:

“I generate energy. I am full of enthusiasm, purpose, and a positive perspective.”

“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” ―George Lucas

Summary: High performers determine where they shine their focus. Their mental spotlight is focused on what gives them energy, and what is good in a situation. They notice where their focus is, and gently get it back to what determines their success. They use “cue words” to bring their focus back on what leads to success.

This Week’s Power Phrase:

I determine where I shine my focus. I keep focused on what leads to my success. I focus on the good and what gives me energy!

“Do just once what others say you can’t do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again.” ―James Cook
