Are you gonna feed your past or feed your future?

Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.

Let's first define habits! Habits are the small actions you make and the actions you do every day. As we reflect on the past year and set goals for 2023, it works hand-in-hand with change like ~ How can you make yourself better? How can you achieve greater heights? How can you be the best possible you? Bottomline is, people try to crack bad habits and to be the better version of themselves.

In life, it's actually part of nature. People are capable to make decisions and perform actions. Well, that's a fact. And I admit, I had bad habits.  I can proudly say that I'm not away from all that. I'm not an exemption because it's part of the process toward a better life. Until I helped myself to stand out and succeed. The very reason I created discovered my own self-image. The good news is, you can do it too by joining The School of Self-Image today!

What I Cover In This Episode:

0:45 - LIFE UPDATE: I'm leaving Colorado for good!

1:50 - How can self-image work for you

6:01 - Habits define your life

Quotes:

"How you see yourself is determining how you show up, what opportunities you say yes to, and what opportunities you attract."

"Habits are creating your entire life… habits are reflecting your self-image back to you, and your self-image determines your habits."

"So when you begin to practice habits with the purpose of changing your self-image, don't be shocked when other amazing things begin to happen in the rest of your life because you're gonna start working to prove yourself true."

"... when you begin to see yourself as that version of you that's in the future, you'll begin to create that future with so much ease and fun and excitement."

What's your ultimate goal for 2023?

Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.

It's been my New Year exercise to choose a word for the year. This has been the way to start a fresh and new year. I'm actually doing this for over a decade now, which I'm really proud of.

Imagine one word that would set the tone. A word to focus on. A word that will motivate you to do better. A word to guide you to stand still in times of challenges and doubts. A word that will light up the direction, no matter where you are in the world. A word is a key to achieving your end goals for the year.

So, I'm inviting you to not just listen in this week's episode but to choose your word for the year and share it with me today!

What I Cover In This Episode:

0:43 - Getting ready for Lunar New Year

1:14 - Reasons why you should choose your word for the year

3:03 - Abundant: My first word of the year

4:10 - I'm torn between two words!

5:28 - What is my word for 2023?

7:45 - The concept of the 'Be, do have' model

12:42 - Focus #1: Be extremely mindful of my thoughts and words.

14:23 - Focus #2: Change my working environment.

17:35 - Focus #3: To increase my physical energy.

20:21 - How to create a new version of yourself

Quotes:

"I love a goal because they inform who I need to become in order to reach them. They become my guide to reveal to me what's holding me back, and also to reveal to me my own becoming."

"Self-image transformation is the study of energetics. We are all a ball of energy, and that energy is attracting certain things and repelling certain things."

"What you do isn't as important as who you are when you're doing it."

"When you deeply understand this concept and you apply it to your life, prepare to be delighted. Navigating life without this model will lead you to frustration and hopelessness. As desperately as you want things to be different, you'll keep feeling stuck."

You only live once!

Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.

Living in the now could be easy for some, but for others is not. So, let me ask you a question ~ When was the last time you try something new? There can be a lot of different ways to answer this. One thing that stands out is if you'll answer it based on what you think or what you feel. 

I know, sometimes life could be good or not-so-good. This can either drive you to stop or keep moving forward. But this can also affect how you are living today. Life is simply life itself for you, for us to live.

As 2022 is nearly bidding goodbye, I'd like to share some of my favorite firsts of the year. I thought of sharing this topic because it might help you get inspired to do further beyond your own limits (or probably what your mind thinks so.) 

So, let me challenge you to do more things for the first time in 2023. If you're up for this challenge, time to listen to today's episode! And don't forget to connect with me on Instagram so we can talk more about this!

What I Cover In This Episode:

1:38 - How life is built with your first

3:27 - Why you should NOT stop having first

5:10 - Understanding the fear of the unknown

7:22 - Is it normal to be scared the first time?

9:44 - Never good as the first time

13:02 - How death will be your last first

13:29 - 2023 challenge to have more first

19:19 - How the universe works

31:37 - Defining the future with first

35:26 - The power of first

Quotes:

"Our firsts are what make life so incredible and amazing. It's what grows our character. It's how we learn about the world, it's how we learn about ourselves." 

"Everything ~ your first breath, your first steps, or your first day at school are a collection of your first."

"You have to be willing to be bitten by life to enjoy the delights of life."

"... you are never too old for a first."

How do you like spending your time alone?

Welcome to today's episode of the 'School of Self-Image' Podcast with host and self-image coach, Tonya Leigh, where personal development meets style. This a go-to podcast for women who desire to transform their self-image so that they can create mind-blowing results in their lives.

Today, I'll be sharing the key takeaways from the book of Benjamin Hardy, 'Slipstream Time Hacking.' It is a self-improvement book that revolves around time, life, mindset, and decisions. Imagine yourself taking control of your life where time is the number one currency and reasons why you should take action.

Time = Money. For Ben, time is the new money. In the book, you will realize the value of time in a very realistic way. Every page has that effect on your life ~ what you do, what you think, and what you know.

So, here I am challenging you to live the life you always wanted to live right now! But before that, listen to this week's episode to learn ways how to make it possible.

25:49 - Takeaway #5:  Time is our only currency. 

30:19 - Takeaway #6: Those who become the greatest and go the farthest are highly selective about what they take on.

31:22 Takeaway #7: Most of us engage in far too many priorities.

32:20 - Takeaway #8: Despite turbulence and other conditions, keeping the plane off course.

34:20: Takeaway #9: True commitment can only occur when turning back is no longer an option.

36:15 - Takeaway #10: When you commit to something a hundred percent, all of your future choices are already made no matter how attractive the circumstances.

36:52 - Takeaway #11: Time is sacred in the first few hours of your day.

37:49 - Takeaway #12: Leveraging other people's time, skills and money are essential for getting where you want to go faster.

40:55 - Takeaway #14: You're bound to fumble along the way. 

42: 06: Takeaway #15:  When the end of life comes, we leave with nothing but our relationships.

Quotes:

"I set really big goals for myself."

"If a task is perceived to be unimportant, it will take enormous amounts of time to complete. Conversely, if a task is perceived to be important, it will get done soon. Sometimes immediately depending on how important and urgent the task is."

"... think about how we're spending our time. Are we spending our time on the things that we really want to be spending it on?"

"Life in general in our world with limitless options, limitless books to read, limitless clothes to wear, a limitless path to take it is extremely important to be picky."
