Did I channel Mel Robbins?

I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go . I decided to do something different today . I just finished listening to the Mel Robbins podcast . It was episode 251 and the title is how to Achieve Any Goal you have in Six Simple Steps .

One thing that I love about Mel is that she tries to take complex things and make them as simple as humanly possible , and then she adds some research to it , and it's really interesting .

Now I listened to this podcast and I thought it was so , so good , but I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that these six simple steps that she has spent so much time figuring out are exactly why I created the work and every single aspect . I mean I spent time really thinking about what do I need ? Why do I need it ? How can I help ?

What do I need to achieve a goal ? How much support . Do I need ? What would make it fun for me and how can I bring women along with me that want to achieve it as well ? Like , what do I need ? What worked for me ? And so when Mel is giving me six simple steps , I'm like dang .

The work is created following these six simple steps , and so I'm going to . First off , I'm going to link the episode her episode in the show notes below , because I think it's a really , really good one , but I'm also going to give you the Kohl's notes version in this episode , and there's a reason for that . Her episodes are an hour long .

I try to keep mine under 15 minutes because when I drove to work , my commute was 15 minutes long . I liked 15 minutes or less podcasts and I couldn't find them . The other thing is that when I was at work , there were days that were really tough and I didn't want to be there . I wanted to be doing my own thing .

I felt like I was working in a box , and there were times when I just felt like bitchy , you know . But I had 15 minutes for my coffee break , and so I wanted to listen to something motivational during those coffee breaks so that I could just reset my brain , get back to positivity , remove all the negative energy that I'd picked up throughout the day .

And I couldn't fucking do it because all the podcast episodes were an hour long .

So I'm scrolling on Facebook , I'm scrolling on Instagram trying to find something that would be interesting , that I to find something that would be interesting , that I could listen to , that would be motivational , that would be positive , and then I would end up seeing something that would piss me off .

So what I want to do is I'm going to give you a Coles Notes version of the Mel Robbins podcast . I'm going to tell you why . It's exactly like the things that I've created in the work , the aspects of the work that I love , and I'm going to link her episode in the show notes .

So if you do have an hour , I want you to listen to it , because it's really , really good and it's backed by research . Of course . She says a lot of really cool things and she talks about her let them theory , which is a book that I'm reading . I mean , I'm a big Mel Robbins fan , so if you are too , you're going to love the episode , but let's go .

So she has

again . It's called how to achieve any goal you have in six simple steps . So step number one define the goal in the work . That's what we do . What's your fucking goal ? A lot of times people will say , well , I want to lift my depression , I want to find happiness , I want financial freedom , I want a thriving business . And then those things .

They're so intangible , they're really hard to focus on . One of the things that I loved is Mel said you need to define the goal so that you know when you have achieved it . There's no possible way that you would know when you've achieved happiness Like for how long Is it every day , to the extent of what ? Right , so a difference .

If you say I want to lose 20 pounds , right , right , like that's measurable , then you're going to know if you've achieved it . Number two is you got to write it down . So in the work we write it down . We start with a goal , we write that goal down and then we actually write down the plan as well , which we'll talk about later .

One of the things that I liked was she said that the physical act of taking a goal that's in your head and she calls the goal a goal that's just in your head is a dream . So when you physically do the action of taking the dream out of your brain and you ground it into the real world by writing it down .

It does something to your hippocampus and all of a sudden it acts like a freaking algorithm for the world . You start to see it as external to you , but you also start to look externally at things that will help you achieve your goal . It's fascinating . Number three is find the formula .

She says that no matter know , no matter what it is , if you want to write a book , if you want to be a speaker on stage , if you want to lose weight like there's a formula and you just got to follow it . The thing that fucks people up is they want to do it on their own .

They want to do their own unique thing and they don't want to follow their friend who lost weight . They don't want to do the same program because they don't want to be copying that person . Like , yeah , we don't care , like in the work , we just don't care . Like we , we can all have the same goal , it doesn't fucking matter .

But here's the crazy part I've given you the formula . I've given you the formula for manifestation and for goal achievement and you customize it for you . So you write down the goal and the formula is mindset , energy and action . We focus on what we think , how we feel and what we do every day , every single day .

What are the steps that you are going to do under mindset ? How are you going to work on your mindset ? Because if your mindset is in the crapper , you're never going to be able to achieve your goal . That's it .

If you're feeling overwhelmed , if you're feeling frustrated , if your energy is negative and shitty and you just feel angry all the time , like we got to work on that , how can we open up for miracles ? How can we clear our energy ? How can we do the best that we can ?

Maybe it's even feng shui in your space , maybe it's decluttering , maybe it's making your fucking bed every day . What can you do to make you feel better every single day ? That will get you towards your goal ? And then , what actions are you going to take that are directly linked to your goal achievement ? Like that's the formula .

It's the formula and then you can customize it . Number four is doing the reps . It's just doing the fucking work and showing up every single day . I loved something that she said under this , and I think she quoted someone . I think it might've been Dr Lee , but basically our brains are hardwired to avoid pain and doing the work .

It's painful , like no one wants to get up out of bed every single morning . When I was a beach body coach and I had to get up at 4.30 in the morning because I was doing 80 day obsession , and I had to get up at 4.30 in the morning so that I could fucking eat .

And then I went back to bed for like I don't know , I think it was 50 minutes and then I did an hour long workout with autumn Calabrese . There was not one day that I put my foot on the floor and thought , yippee , it's 4.30 in the morning , let's go fucking eat something .

I can't wait to work out and lift heavy for an hour , like there wasn't one day . The work is not always that glamorous . No one wants to go . Oh , let's measure my food again . Look , no one wants to do that . I don't know anyone that thinks , woohoo , more water .

But there's something magical that happens when you say this sentence and the sentence is this is going to suck , but I'm going to do it anyway . Fuck . This was mind blowing to me because I said that numerous times , over and over and over , like every single day . I don't want to do this , but I'm going to do it anyway . That's how I got through 80 days .

That's how I got through 80 day obsession . I was not excited about it , not one day , but I finished it . I didn't miss a day . And what happens when you say that this is going to suck , but I'm going to do it anyway ? It lowers the resistance that you have for doing the thing . It's a brain hack . It's fucking brilliant .

Number five is make it fun and easy , and that's what we're doing in the work , because I am using the Telegram app . It's fun . It's got like emojis that dance . It's customizable and I also put in inspiration every day . And plus , hey , guess what ? It's just fucking fun to hang out with me and the other girls that are in the group .

They're fun too because they're like me . So it just makes it fun . It makes it more fun when you can just show up and be with people who are in the arena with you , you know . And the number six is don't quit . Lacey Seitz said one time she's a business coach and she said work it till it works .

And I've probably repeated that sentence a thousand times work it till it works . And I've probably repeated that sentence a thousand times Work it till it works . If you do all of these six steps , there is no possible way that it won't work for you . There's no possible way . If you show up every single day , there's no possible way it's not going to work .

I was interviewed one time by a really good friend of mine , kelly Dunlap , and she was talking about risk-taking and me taking risks . And how was it that I could take risks ? And I just said to her I just removed the timeline on achieving the goal and I just focus on the journey , and that's what the work is about .

I mean , the work is a 90-day container but I had to put some sort of timeline on it and you can join anytime you want and you can re-sign anytime you want . That's what makes it amazing . But when you remove the timeline , there's a freedom in it and you just start to enjoy the process .

There is no possible way you're going to achieve a goal if you hate every single day . And if you do achieve the goal and you hate every single day , was it worth it ? I don't know For me , I want to enjoy the journey , I want to enjoy every single day and I want to do the work in order to make that journey fun , pleasurable and successful .

That's why I created it . The idea that I've created a program I mean , I'm a big , huge Mel Robbins fan , right ? So the idea that I created a container that is so perfect .

And then I listened to Mel Robbins saying you will achieve every single goal if you just follow the six steps , and my container is these six steps it's mind blowing to me , like to the point of speechlessness , so I just wanted to share . See you tomorrow . Thank you so much for listening .

I hope you've had some laughs , maybe some ideas , and that you've been inspired to take some type of action toward the life you've always dreamed of . If you feel so called , I would love it if you would share with your besties and leave a review down below . I look forward to bringing you along on this journey and I will see you in the next episode .
