Do you feel like some parts of your life are working great, yet others are a mess?

Consider how “busy” has become a way of life or a badge of honor.  If you lead a full life, are driving hard toward your goals then you risk burn-out or knocking the important elements of your life out of balance.  The “tire on which you roll through life” will go flat.

The good news is you can easily fix this situation.  This week’s guest, Walt Hampton, Senior Mentor for Life Leadership International, will show you how to rediscover joy in your life, discover more fun, freedom, and fulfillment, and will help you achieve success without the stress.

Walt shares the secrets of living a balanced life.  It starts with recognizing that this requires daily effort.  It’s not hard, but it’s not simple either.  Think of the habits and routines you’ve allowed yourself to fall into.  How many of them give you a sense of fulfillment?  One message from a favorite author of Walt’s, Robin Sharma, is that the way you start your day really determines you day’s outcomes and the quality of your day.

Walt starts his day at 4:30 am and spends time working on himself before he engages his clients or his “work”.  What are some of his core routines?  Outdoor exercise such as biking or running, journaling, reading, and meditating are great ways to work on yourself.

How do you know that you might need some more attention on yourself?  If you feel stressed, tired, or too busy then listen to that signal.  A life in balance is a life in flow – things are working without stress.  They are effortless.  As Walt describes from his days as a high-altitude mountain climber, if it feels hard, then you’re probably on the wrong route.  The same applies in our lives.

Listen in to the great wisdom that Walt shares in this interview and you’ll be inspired to make some conscious choices regarding how you spend your time and invest in yourself.

Do you wonder what separates average from great results?  Our inner cheerleader – our Positive Mental Attitude – has proven to be part of the answer to this question over and over, yet many people struggle to maintain a Positive Mental Attitude day in and day out.

Maryanne Ross is a living example of how any of us can thrive once we’ve learned how to harness the power of our Positive Mental Attitude.  She shares her story – from fork truck driver, to middle management, to entrepreneur and small business owner.  The edge she had all through her career was her Positive Mental Attitude.

Maryanne does a wonderful job describing the difference between a Positive Mental Attitude and the opposite – a negative attitude.  I think you’ll find that even the most positive of us slip and have a negative thought now and then.  She shared a statistic that 80% of the thoughts we think are negative – imagine if you should change this percentage even slightly in your favor the advantage you’d enjoy.

One of many other principles for maintaining positive attitudes and great results is gratitude.  Another is having great mentors.  She demonstrated both during this interview.  Maryanne graciously credits the mentors she’s had during her life for guiding her on the path that led to her many great successes.  My challenge to you is to be sure that you have mentors in your life, too – people who have been through the challenges you’re likely to face, and can help you come out on top.

One thing that is important to remember – we can choose the attitude we “wear”.  Maryanne describes this as Mental Apparel.  Too often, we spend more time deciding what clothes to wear than what attitudes to wear.  Choose to wear a positive attitude.

As you listen to this interview, consider the times when you were faced with a challenge and chose to have a great attitude through the experience.  Were you satisfied with the result?  What about when you chose to have a negative or critical attitude through the challenging experience – how did that work out for you?  I hope you find that choosing to hold a positive outlook no matter what will shape your experience to be more enjoyable and satisfying for you.

Thankfully, there is another way.  In this week’s interview, we’ll hear our guest, Shayla Roberts, talk about how to “Play” in your “Optimal Operating State” and discover how easy it can be to get the results you want.

Shayla Roberts is professional innovator, creating programs, products, and services to facilitate human development.  She has written a number of books, including “Bold Moves: JUMP to Outstanding Self-Managed Action” with co-author (and former i-saga guest) Allan Milham.

(She is also a musician and recording artist – a rather successful one at that.  I have some of her music and absolutely LOVE the relaxing atmosphere it creates.  You can find out more at www.ShamanHeart.com )

Our discussion follows the format in Bold Moves, and the “P” in JUMP is rather important, as it describes where we all want to ultimately end up.

What if you were to ask yourself, “In this moment, what would I like to do next?”  What answers show up for you?  Shayla can lead you though the potential answers to this and many other questions that might come up for you.  Does the answer reflect your Optimal Operating State?

It does if you find that your are truly happy, that your life is effortless, and you’re in a place of mastery.  This is where real creativity comes from – a genuine capacity to solve problems.

Remember, you have the ability to decide how you want to live your life.  Shayla guides you in this interview toward a life of abundance and possibility.
