b'Why your thoughts have everything to your success in life and business\\nI am so excited for you to listen to this episode because my guest is someone who helped get me out of a really difficult time in my life -- a time that I\\u2019ve shared about on this podcast.\\xa0\\nHer name is Dr. Nicole LaPera. She\\u2019s a Cornell-trained holistic psychologist, and thanks to her book, How to Do The Work, I learned some really great tools on how to examine and correct the negative thought patterns I was having last year that led to a bit of a depression.\\nIf you\\u2019ve been tuning in to Online Marketing Made Easy for a while, you\\u2019ve heard a lot about this period of time in the beginning of 2021, right after our move to Nashville. It took a big toll on my personal and professional life, so that\\u2019s why I\\u2019m getting super vulnerable in this interview and diving into all-things mental health.\\xa0\\nBy the way, I am so glad that mental health is a topic that is losing its stigma, and becoming a bigger part of everyday conversation -- because let\\u2019s be honest, it has a direct effect on how we show up in the world every single day.\\xa0\\nTrust me on this one. Dr. Nicole\\u2019s approach is much different than some of the other types of therapy and personal development work that are out there, and you can expect to walk away from this episode with her unique perspective on how to:\\xa0\\n\\nRecognize toxic patterns and how they manifest\\n\\nHeal from personal trauma so you can show up as the best version of yourself in life and in business\\n\\nMake permanent shifts in your thought patterns\\n\\nTake your mental health and healing into your own hands\\n\\nHere\\u2019s a glance at this episode...\\n\\n[06:54] When Nicole was young, she struggled with anxiety. Her curiosity around her struggles inspired her to pursue a career in psychology so she could help others understand themselves and create change in the world.\\n\\n[09:02] After having a successful private practice, she felt inspired to look at new ways to create change to help people online. She wanted to share her stories and her tools, so she started The Holistic Psychologist.\\n\\n[10:53] The work emphasizes the daily nature of change required. Many of us are stuck because we\'re not living consciously. We need to be conscious in real time, so we don\'t repeat the old habits.\\n\\n[16:14] Set random alarms on your phone to check in with yourself. Ask, \\u201cHow present am I? Am I fully immersed in whatever I\'m doing?\\u201d Use your senses to come back to being present.\\n\\n[30:59] We have the choice to shift from disempowerment to empowerment, so long as we are doing things consciously and checking in with ourselves.\\n\\n[37:42] Make sure you get the nutrients that your brain needs to function. Geting enough sleep at night, your breathing, and taking care of your body are great ways to start.\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\n[41:36] Learn how to stay committed and connected to your truth and your vision in business.
