Work-Life Brilliance with Denise R. Green

Your Body is Your Job

#045: This title of this post comes from Twyla Tharp, author of Keep it Moving: Lessons for the Rest of Your Life 

Corporate employees actually have a more physically demanding job than sports athletes, yet they rarely train and gain the stamina they need to thrive--instead of just survive--back-to-back meetings, long hours, constant pressures, and sitting hunched over a computer. 

Listen in for helpful techniques that athletes use, that you can incorporate into your daily routine to help you build stamina, replenish energy, and focus.

How to Be Authentically You

#044: Denise borrows wisdom from her favorite sources to help you understand what authenticity is, why it matters, why it's hard, and how to find and live it.

From the book Emotional Equations, Authenticity = Self-Awareness x Courage. 

If you want to live a full life and have intimate relationships where you feel seen, you must master authenticity. 

You'll learn exercises to help you shed the masks, discover who you really are, and step into your identity authentically and appropriately in any interaction (including those with yourself). 

Worthiness and Love-ability

#043: Where are you on the scale of self-love?  Do you think you'll be worthy when you've achieved x? 

What fuels you? Shame and comparison, or fullness and flow?

Denise shares why shame and unworthiness are not only not necessary, but they are selfish. 

She explains how a default to unworthiness is hard-wired and can be re-wired, so we achieve great things without the toxic residue.

You'll learn techniques you can start today to re-wire your brain to act from a place of worthiness, so you present your self to the world with authentic confidence and grace. 

 

Lessons From Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz

#042: On the anniversary of getting hit by a car while crossing the street, Denise shares how she stays motivated and positive. She shares powerfully effective techniques from the legendary doctor and author Maxwell Maltz, whose 1960 book Psycho-Cybernetics inspired today's self-help gurus with practical, science-based techniques to lower anxiety and prime your brain to achieve the life and happiness you crave, and that all humans are designed for. 

She gives you detailed instructions for simple activities that will help you leave anxiety behind and feel better so you act better and get the emotional and tangible results you want.
