The Power of a Word | Awareness

In this episode, Dr. Amber Selking speaks with Michael Yoder, founder and owner of Truth Work Media. Michael talks about his word for 2021 — awareness — and how he will focus it around creating, learning and resting. He discusses the power in writing things down and how it helps him not only flesh out ideas, but make them a reality. Listen as he shares how he’s learned to accept what he doesn’t know and also allow himself to be surrounded by people who do and can show him the way.

Championship Mindset Training | MidWeek Mental Rep Send out a self-awareness email to 10 to 15 people and ask them to share two or three things they think you can work on to become a better person. Have the awareness to do something about it. STANDOUT QUOTES “We aren’t our jobs. We aren’t our occupations, but what we do become is our habits. We do become our processes. We do become the people we surround ourselves with, and so the process of writing down goals that stretch you and make you into a better person that ultimately forms who you are as a human.” -Michael Yoder [08:45] “That is being self-aware enough, hopefully, that in 2021, I’m going to work less, because I didn’t start my own business to work all the time. I really didn’t. I didn’t start my business to make a ton of money. I started my business so I can live the life and the lifestyle that I want to live, and that involves resting.” -Michael Yoder [21:54] “But one of the things that I think that we forget as high performers, particularly in our society, is that recovery is part of the performance process.” -Dr. Amber Selking [22:29] Please get on iTunes to rate us and write a review for us!
