Show Notes from this episode with Daniel Hill, Daniel Hill Coaching

Key points and takeaways from this episode include:

  • When we talk about the “mind”, it’s really our unconscious.
  • Our unconscious controls 98% of our lives. The unconscious is the most powerful tool we will handle and it comes without an operating manual.
  • When we get stuck, we are stuck in patterns that we know.
  • A pattern is like a recipe — if we’ve made one, we can make others.
  • We are deleting, generalizing and distorting information all the time, to protect ourselves from overwhelm. That then shapes our world view and beliefs — often we overlook key information.
  • A transformational journey is rarely linear. At a very deep, unconscious level, we’d rather stick with the unpleasant present than to take a chance on the future that we do not yet know. It’s important to find comfort in the uncomfortability of the present moment .
  • Expressing our desired outcome as a “wish” rather than “want” can release pressure. The “want-get-be” mind wants to force things, but it never gets to be. Creating stillness can bring clarity and a sense of being in the moment.
  • Three simple practices to being in the moment are stilling the mind, grounding into the body and opening the heart.
  • The more that you are authentically yourself, the more you’ll return to a sense of being from the grind of doing.

The Buzz — Our Innovation Round

Here are Daniel’s answers to the questions of our innovation round. Listen to the conversation to get the full scoop.

  1. 1 thing to be more innovative — Take the blinkers off and become more focused on the outcome.
  2. Best thing for new ideas — Constantly learning, particularly from people who have manifested the outcomes I wish to manifest.
  3. Favourite tool for innovation — The internet.
  4. Keep project/client on track — Accountability — hand back accountability to the person you are coaching.
  5. Differentiate — Be the most authentic self you can be. We ARE all different!

Action

If there is something that’s not quite right in your life, then look at how you would like it to be. Go to an outcome of what you wish to experience and be clear on that.

We must take action towards what it is that we wish to get towards, and then we need to notice if we’re getting nearer or further away. We need to be flexible, and when you’re flexible, you are much more likely to be able to work out what it is that you need to do in order to get your outcome.
