The Spiritually Expressed Human

Ep 3 - Mindset, Procrastination, and Boundaries with Kim Sutton - Part 1

Episode Summary

Recorded this episode originally on my friend Kim Sutton's podcast, Positive Productivity (now called: The Work Smarter, Not Harder Podcast), and is a Part 1. After a discussion, Kim and I realized that we needed to record what became a kind of coaching session - me to her and it takes us through procastination and dismantling old behavioral patterns by addressing mindset and boundaries. Reprogramming that old, raising your zero to see progress and change so you can move to that next level, moving past the fears to break the cycle of inconsistency and disappointment. Key Takeaways: Goal is feedback, but not the feedback you think! The Hope for Gain and Fear of Loss drives the bus, but you ARE worthy, deserving, and can have the life you want. Setting boundaries is about loving yourself in a way that is truly real and deep. About Kim Sutton: Author of the forthcoming book, Chronic Idea Disorder: The Entrepreneur’s Guide to Overcoming Idea Overwhelm, Kim Sutton learned the hard way that just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. The Positive Productivity podcast launched in October 2016, after Kim recovered from a three-year cycle of chasing everyone else’s successes and severe sleep-deprivation. In addition to her podcast, Kim is a marketing automation mentor, wife, and mom of 5. She has found her passion and purpose empowering broke, broken, and burnt-out business owners to set up the systems and support they need to make time for the self-care they deserve.

Episode Notes

Moving through procrastination and old behavioral patterns by addressing mindset and boundaries with Susan and Kim:

Reprogramming the old program of lack of follow-through from childhood into your adulthood.
Raising your zero to see progress and changes and moving to the next level.
Moving past the fears to break the cycle of inconsistency and disappointment through mindset and boundaries.

Key Takeaways:

Our goal is feedback: acknowledgment, approval, acceptance, awareness, or validation. There are two pieces that are in competition with each other 100% of the time for that feedback: A Hope for Gain and a Fear of Loss.
You are worthy and deserving of having the amazing things you want. None of it needs to come at the cost of another thing you are worthy and deserving of having.
To set boundaries, we have to love ourselves in a way that is really true and deep - a sense of worth, value and deservingness that allows us to stick to that boundary no matter what. That's how you can be consistent, stop procrastinating, and stay motivated.
