  • In this transformative episode, our host Travia embarks on an enlightening journey, illustrating the profound parallel between the choices we make in our daily shopping habits and the selection of thoughts we entertain in our minds. This comparison sets the stage for a deeper exploration into how intentionally curating our thoughts can dramatically shape our lives, much like how the items we choose to purchase impact our physical well-being and lifestyle.

    Main Themes:

    Intentionality in Thought Selection: Just as we carefully select items while shopping, choosing thoughts that empower and uplift us is crucial for our mental and emotional health. Travia eloquently draws this parallel, urging listeners to become mindful shoppers in the aisles of their own minds.

    Mindfulness About Thought Sources: The episode highlights the importance of being aware of where our thoughts come from, especially in an age dominated by social media. This awareness is key to stocking our mental shelves with positive, life-affirming beliefs.

    Gratitude and Goal Alignment: Choosing thoughts from a place of gratitude and aligning them with future aspirations is likened to selecting the right aisles in a grocery store. This strategy ensures that our mental cart is filled with items that nourish our personal growth and help us achieve our dreams.

    Combatting Negative Self-Talk: Through the discussion, Travia delves into the impact of our beliefs on our thoughts, feelings, and actions. The episode is packed with strategies to combat negative self-talk and replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones, thereby fostering a mindset conducive to success and personal fulfillment.

    Journal Exercise for Reflection: A practical takeaway from the episode is the encouragement to engage in a journaling exercise. This reflective practice aims to help listeners identify and challenge their limiting beliefs, facilitating a shift towards more empowering thought patterns.

    Intentional Thinking for Personal Transformation: Ultimately, the episode champions the idea that intentional thinking is not just beneficial but essential for personal well-being and achieving one’s goals. Travia advocates for a mindful approach to thought selection, emphasizing its impact on personal transformation and success.

    Key Takeaways: Be as intentional with your thoughts as you are with your shopping choices. Mindfulness about the origin of your thoughts is crucial for mental hygiene. Align your thoughts with gratitude and your goals to navigate life’s aisles successfully. Replace negative self-talk and limiting beliefs with positive affirmations and bridge thoughts. Engage in reflective journaling to identify and shift limiting beliefs. Embrace intentional thinking as a cornerstone of personal growth and success.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to harness the power of their thoughts to create a life filled with purpose, joy, and fulfillment. Join Travia as she guides you through the aisles of your mind, helping you select the thoughts that will shape your future.

  • BIO:

    Susan Brooks is 77 years old, and proud of it! Paul Simon, who is now in his 80's said it best years ago: us boomers were BORN AT THE RIGHT TIME!

    ‘Yes, I was born at the right time! I'm still a hippie from the 60's, I marched for civil rights for all humans, equal rights for women, waving my bra with the best. I am proud to be living and growing in a robust marriage of 57 years. I survived motherhood, and so did my now-adult children. I was an award-winning woman business owner when there were but a few of us. I've learned a whole bunch of lessons, and more importantly, I've earned my fair share of Wisdom, too. I am Pro-Age!’

    According to Chip Conley, one of today's leading thought leaders: "Experience is making a comeback. Wisdom never grows old." Chip created the hallmarks of the Modern Elder*: "learning to marry wisdom and experience with curiosity, cultivating a beginner's mind so that learning never ends, exemplifying a willingness to evolve both as a student and sage." Research shows that shifting our mindset about Aging can add 7.4 happy years to a person's life.

    ‘Proud to say I am a graduate of the Modern Elder Academy as well as an active participant in Wise Aging: Living with Joy, Resilience, and Spirit programs. As one of the creators and hosts of the Thrive@55 event, we celebrated our female community leaders who were 55+.

    As long as I'm able to see the sunrise every morning and keep a curious mind, there's more living to do, so much more to learn, and so many new ways to serve. Trailblazer that I am, and always will be, I recognize my next mission: by example and demonstration I am committed to Changing the Face of Aging: One Modern Elder* at a time!’

    She is also the founder of Susan Brooks Coaching and Cookies From Home. Susan Brooks Coaching is a result-based strategic coaching program for women business owners and corporate leaders. Susan is the author of 3 books for women in business.

  • In today's episode, we delve into stagnation—a state all too familiar in various aspects of life, from personal growth and relationships to careers and physical activities. Stagnation often signals a misalignment between our daily actions and our ultimate aspirations, a cue that we are perhaps not evolving alongside our goals and desires.

    Whether it's the repetitive motions of our daily routines, the plateau in our relationships, the disconnection in our careers, or the lack of enthusiasm in our active lives, stagnation serves as a wake-up call.

    It's an invitation to reassess, to listen deeply to our inner selves, and to align more closely with what truly moves us. Join us as we explore how recognizing and understanding stagnation can be a powerful step towards breaking through and embracing the change necessary to become the person our goals require.

  • In this episode, we're digging into those stories that mess with our relationships, money, health, and more. You know, the ones we've been telling ourselves forever that are holding us back. It's crazy how past events or what some authority figure said can plant these ideas in our heads, and we end up carrying them around like baggage for years.

    Today, I take you through a cool exercise where you write down all those limiting stories and then literally burn them. It's like a cleansing fire, releasing all those pent-up emotions and letting you imagine a new reality without being held back by past junk. The fire's not just burning paper; it's symbolic purification, making room for some seriously empowering new stories.

    Here's the real deal about this exercise: jotting down your feelings about those confining stories brings amazing clarity. The burning? It's like a cleanse for your energy, getting you ready to move forward. And seriously, focusing on letting go of the past? That's some next-level liberating stuff.

    So, the takeaway here is huge – our stories shape our world.

    What stories are still living rent-free in your head, keeping you stuck? Imagine how your life could transform by flipping those narratives on their head. It's time to rewrite your story, my friends!
