How to Energise Your Life with Mindfulness and Positive Thinking | Nicola O’Neill

In this episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I sit down with Nicola O’Neill — a transformational mindset coach, spiritual teacher, and founder of a unique training program that helps people harness the power of thought to create meaningful, lasting change.Nicola shares her own personal journey of overcoming significant life challenges — from financial hardship to emotional distress — and how she used practices like mindfulness, gratitude, affirmations, and self-awareness to shift from negativity to possibility.We explore what it really means to raise our energy, move beyond limiting beliefs, and live with more clarity, confidence, and connection.This is an honest, practical conversation about how simple daily practices can lead to profound transformation — and how our own lived experiences can become a source of support and hope for others too.Links:nicolaoneill.comTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction02:41 Nicola's Personal Journey05:57 Discovering the Power of the Subconscious Mind09:23 The Role of Peer Support12:08 The Psychology of Positive Thinking17:41 Affirmations and Their Impact26:34 Mindfulness and Daily Practices29:07 Understanding Acceptance and Energy Levels29:59 The Importance of Self-Awareness30:29 Dr David Hawkins' Consciousness Scale30:59 The Role of Courage and Negative Energy36:30 Mindfulness and Meditation Practices41:37 The Power of Gratitude46:05 Compassion and Spiritual Coaching51:52 Final Thoughts and Social Media LinksIf you would like to learn more about compassion focused therapy, you can find Dr Stan Steindl's book The Gifts of Compassion here: https://www.ausapress.com/p/the-gifts-of-compassion-how-to-understand-and-overcome-suffering/ Say hi on social: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drstansteindl Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/StanSteindl Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_stan_steindl/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stan-steindl-150a5264/ Website: https://www.stansteindl.com/ YouTube Video URL: https://youtu.be/P5_YUvw-lVY *Affiliate Disclaimer: Note this description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.
