156 The One with Tricia Molloy
b'
If there has ever been a\\xa0year\\xa0we need more positive things in our lives, it is 2020. I spent a good part of 2020 focused on the things I couldn\\u2019t do because of COVID 19. I couldn\\u2019t go to AWT\\u2019s training seminar in March, and several of my other speaking and facilitating engagements got canceled. Our church stopped holding in-person services, and the two vacations we had planned got canceled. 2020 stinks, right?!\\xa0\\xa0
Fortunately, not too long after\\xa0all of\\xa0my plans were getting canceled one after the other, I had a change in mindset.\\xa0I decided that if I continued focusing on what I could not do, I would never be happy.\\xa0 So, I stopped. I decided I would focus on the things I could do and make sure I did those things to my best ability.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
After focusing my efforts on things that were within my control, I started to feel better about our situation and more in control.\\xa0All of\\xa0the canceled items I mentioned above came back in a new fashion. I was still able to do them, just not as initially planned. Some of the new plans were better than the original plans. And all of them created an opportunity that permitted me to think differently, refining the event or action for the better. If we look for misery, we are going to find it. But why choose to look\\xa0for that?\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
My guest today is Tricia Molloy, an author, speaker, and coach. She has been a featured keynote speaker for many well-known companies like Home Depot, Kimberly Clark, GE, Marriott, and The America Red Cross, to name a few. I met Tricia when I was giving my Ted Talk at Tim Fulton\\u2019s Small Business Matters Conference. For those of you that haven\\u2019t heard that story, please listen to episode 92.\\xa0
Tricia has a simple approach that she guides people through called CRAVE. You will learn how to use CRAVE to start some great new habits, all designed to make you more focused on what brings you happiness. Because after all, that is what we should be looking to find.\\xa0
