This week on the podcast we share a powerful strategy to help you respond not react. When you respond, you choose thoughtfulness and are guided by logic over emotion. You are intentional with your intentions. 

 

Power Phrase this Week: “I choose to respond with purpose and intention.” 

Quote of the Week: “When you react, you are giving away your power. When you respond, you are staying in control of yourself.” Bob Proctor

If Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was writing his incredibly popular book, The Power of Positive Thinking, today he would need to add a separate chapter on John Kriesel.

In 2006 Kriesel was nearly blown to shreds by a 200 pound roadside bomb in the parched sands of Iraq. He died three times and was shocked back to life. Somehow he survived through four hospitals, 35 surgeries and months of recovery. He lost both legs and suffered numerous other major injuries, but it was the loss of two close friends that hurt the most.

The guy who wasn’t supposed to survive and was told he probably would be in a wheelchair the rest of his life walked out of Walter Reed Army Medical Center after nine months. His transition from military to civilian life offered many challenges, but his amazing support system, positive attitude and sense of humor allowed him to bounce back stronger than ever.

 

In 2010 he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives but decided not to seek re-election when his family said they wanted to spend more time with him. He is director of veterans services for a County in Suburban Minneapolis, MN, a part-time personality on KFAN Radio, motivational speaker, and co-author of the book, “Still Standing: The Story of SSG John Kriesel,” winner of 8 national book awards. 

 

In this episode, John and Cindra discuss:

  • The warrior’s mindset
  • His “second chance at life” perspective
  • Lessons he learned in the hospital
  • Strategies to respond to adversity and challenges
  • Why it is essential to not compare our adversity to others

As humans, we all experience Hedonic Adaptation which is our way of quickly adapting to new situations. This adaptation gets in the way of our long-term happiness. This is the reason people aren’t happier long-term after they make more money or get a new job. To combat this adaptation, we want to savor the good – notice and appreciate the positive experiences and good in our life for 10-12 or so seconds. 

Power Phrase this Week: “I seek out the good and savor the greatness in my life.” 

 

Quote of the Week: Albert Einstein said it best, “Life is a preparation for the future; and the best preparation for the future is to live as if there were none.”

Being challenge in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” Roger Crawford 

Dr. Kamphoff talks about how high performers see stressful situations as a challenge they can overcome instead of a threat to their performance or confidence. To see stressful situations as a challenge, remember it’s all about your perception of a situation and how you talk to yourself. It’s best to remind yourself that you can handle anything. 

 

Power Phrase this Week: I adopt a challenge mindset. I can handle anything that comes my way.”
