What makes some people supercommunicators? How can you become one too? This is the central lesson in Charles Duhigg’s bestseller Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret of Communication. Charles and Chris dissect what makes messy conversations so great, how to ask deep questions, and whether women and men communicate differently.

------------------ SHOW NOTES ------------------ Episode Number: 399 Episode Title: How To Break Free From Analysis Paralysis At Midlife (And Finally Start Living) Are you caught in the endless cycle of overthinking, researching, and second-guessing yourself? In this powerful episode, Pascale Gibon addresses one of the biggest challenges facing midlife women: analysis paralysis. If you've ever found yourself stuck in the "yes, but..." loop, endlessly gathering information without taking action, this episode is your roadmap to freedom. Pascale shares three transformative ways to break free from the paralysis that's keeping you from the life you deserve, plus reveals an exciting opportunity to dive deeper into this work together. Podcast Highlights: [02:23] The "yes, but..." loop that keeps midlife women stuck [04:10] Signs you're trapped in analysis paralysis without realising it [05:20] Why analysis paralysis is actually fear wearing a disguise [06:11] The truth about your most profound growth coming from risks, not avoided decisions [07:38] How to abandon the perfectionism prison that's holding you back [08:08] The Success Principles insight: You don't need all the answers to take the first step [08:55] Why clarity comes from action, not more analysis [09:04] Choosing clarity over complexity: The one thing that would make the biggest difference [10:14] The power of putting yourself on an information diet [11:08] Introduction to the "Unstuck In 90 Minutes" workshop [12:45] End of episode Resources: "Unstuck In 90 Minutes" Live Workshop: https://go.pascalegibon.com/unstuck-in-90-minutes-wait The Success Principles - Jack Canfield's transformative methodology Connect with Pascale Gibon: Pascale's Website: - https://www.pascalegibon.com/ Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact 💖 ------------------------- How To Break Free From Analysis Paralysis At Midlife (And Finally Start Living) In this transformative episode, Pascale tackles the silent epidemic affecting wise, capable midlife women everywhere: analysis paralysis. She reveals why your intelligence might actually be working against you and provides a clear, actionable roadmap to break free from the overthinking trap that's keeping you stuck. Table of Contents Understanding Analysis Paralysis Way #1: Release the Fear Way #2: Abandon the Perfectionism Prison Way #3: Choose Clarity Over Complexity The "Unstuck In 90 Minutes" Workshop Solution Conclusion Understanding Analysis Paralysis Pascale opens by helping listeners recognise the signs of analysis paralysis - that frustrating state where you endlessly research, analyse, and debate without ever taking action. She describes the typical scenario many midlife women face: seeing an opportunity (a career pivot, a passion project, or a long-deferred dream), then immediately going into mental overdrive with research and analysis that leads nowhere. The key signs she identifies include: - Overcomplicating straightforward situations - Focusing on what could go wrong rather than what could go right - Endless debate between options - Mental exhaustion without forward movement - The belief that you need every detail mapped out before taking action Pascale emphasises that while being thoughtful is valuable, analysis paralysis prevents you from taking that crucial first step toward your next chapter. Way #1: Release the Fear The first breakthrough insight Pascale shares is that analysis paralysis is actually fear wearing a disguise. At midlife, women often fear making the "wrong" choice after years of playing it safe. There's worry about disrupting what's been built, concern about others' opinions, and the pressure of feeling like you "should" have it all figured out by this stage of life. Pascale delivers a powerful truth: "Your most profound growth has always come from the risks you've taken, not the decisions you've avoided." She challenges listeners to reflect on how many times fear of making the wrong move kept them stuck in situations that weren't serving them—draining jobs, unfulfilling relationships, or dreams deferred "until the time is right." The solution involves allowing yourself to be imperfect and adopting a "que sera sera" mindset—making the best choice with the wisdom and awareness you have right now, trusting that you are enough. Way #2: Abandon the Perfectionism Prison Pascale reveals that analysis paralysis is perfectionism in disguise. She describes the familiar mental spiral: "What if this doesn't work out?" "Maybe I should wait until..." "But what about this other thing?" "I'm not quite ready..." Drawing from the principles of success, she shares a crucial insight: you don't need all the answers to take the first step. The practical solution involves setting a decision deadline, limiting options to two or three realistic choices, and recognising that you don't need exhaustive data—just enough to feel reasonably comfortable before moving forward. The key revelation: "The clarity you seek doesn't come from more analysis; it comes from action." Way #3: Choose Clarity Over Complexity The third way addresses how analysis paralysis is actually overwhelm in disguise. Pascale points out the irony that overthinking, which we believe will bring clarity, actually creates more confusion and mental fog. Her path forward involves three steps: 1. Get clear on what you truly want - not what you should want, not what your family wants, but what genuinely lights you up at this stage of life 2. Focus only on what you can control - release everything else 3. Put yourself on an information diet - stop researching and start trusting the decades of wisdom and experience you already possess She emphasises that at midlife, you have accumulated substantial wisdom, and it's time to trust yourself. The "Unstuck In 90 Minutes" Workshop Solution Pascale introduces her solution for listeners who recognise themselves in this episode but need help implementing these strategies. The "Unstuck In 90 Minutes" workshop she designed explicitly for midlife women ready to stop overthinking and start living boldly. The workshop promises to help participants: - Create a safe space to explore what they really want without judgment - Discover their core priority to stop trying to figure out everything at once - Design a personalised action plan that honours both dreams and values - Connect with other women who understand exactly what they're going through She positions this as loving yourself forward rather than pushing yourself harder, emphasising that your next chapter is waiting, and it's time to stop analysing it and start living it. Conclusion Pascale wraps up with a powerful reminder that midlife isn't a time to play small—it's your time to honour your dreams and finally move forward. She recaps the three ways to overcome analysis paralysis: Releasing fear, Abandoning perfectionism, and Choosing clarity over complexity. The episode concludes with an invitation to join the workshop and a reminder that transformation is possible when you stop overthinking and start trusting yourself. Pascale's final message emphasises that you are worthy of the life you dream of, capable of creating it, and you don't have to do it alone. ………………………... FREE RESOURCES ………………………...

Thank you for tuning in to episode 399. In episode 398, I kindly reminded you to let go. As I cycled through Hyde Park, I reminded myself that nature shows us how to strip bare and embrace a new season by letting go. This idea brings me to today's episode, which I dedicate to women who are ready to stop playing small and start living boldly. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and today we're talking about something that I know affects so many of us: analysis paralysis. You know what I'm talking about. You have an idea, an opportunity, maybe even a dream, and instead of moving forward, you find yourself... stuck. Researching. Overthinking. Spinning your wheels. So today, I'm going to share three powerful ways you can break free from analysis paralysis and finally get unstuck. And stick around to the end because I've got something special to share with you, a way to dive deeper into this work together. Let's dive in. So first, let me ask you a few questions. And be honest with yourself here: Do you find yourself endlessly researching before making any decision? Do you need every single detail perfectly mapped out before you can take action? Are you caught in what I call the "yes, but..." loop? You know the one—"Yes, that sounds great, but what if this happens? Yes, I'd love to do that, but maybe I should wait until..." If you're nodding along right now, listen, you are not alone. This 'yes, but...' loop is incredibly common, especially for us as midlife women. Many of us have been there, caught in the web of overthinking and fear. Here's what typically happens: You see an opportunity. Maybe it's a career pivot, maybe it's finally pursuing that passion project you've been thinking about for years, or it's something you've been putting on hold, waiting for the "right time." And your mind immediately goes into overdrive. You start researching, analysing and weighing every possible outcome. For instance, you might spend hours researching the best way to start a new business, or you might spend days debating whether to accept a new job offer. Hours turn into days. Days turn into weeks. And somehow, you're still gathering information, but you're not closer to actually DOING anything. This is analysis paralysis, and I'm here to tell you, it's keeping you from the life you deserve. Now, you might be trapped in analysis paralysis and not even realise it. Here are some signs: You overcomplicate pretty straightforward situations. You focus on everything that could go wrong rather than what could go right. You debate endlessly between options—Should I do A or B? Wait, what about C? Maybe D would be better? You wonder: "Is this thing really for me?" believing that you might fail. And at the end of the day, you feel mentally exhausted because you haven't actually moved forward. Now, don't get me wrong, being thoughtful is valuable. I'm not suggesting you make reckless decisions. But there's a difference between being thoughtful and being paralysed by inaction. When your analysis is preventing you from taking that crucial FIRST step toward the next chapter of your life, that's when we need to make a change. So let me share with you three ways to overcome analysis paralysis and start moving forward. These are game-changers —grab a pen and paper for this. Way Number One: Release the Fear Here's what I want you to understand: Analysis paralysis is fear wearing a disguise. At midlife, you might fear making the "wrong" choice after years of playing it safe. You worry about disrupting what you've built. You worry about what others might think. Maybe you're worried about failing at this stage of your life when you feel like you "should" have it all figured out. But here's the truth, and I need you to really hear this: Your most profound growth has always come from the risks you've taken, not the decisions you've avoided. Let me repeat this key statement: our most profound growth has always come from the risks we've taken, not the decisions we've avoided. Think back for a moment. How many times has fear of making the wrong move kept you stuck in a situation that wasn't serving you? A job that drained you? A relationship that had run its course? A dream deferred "until the time is right"? So ask yourself: What would it feel like to give yourself permission to be imperfect? What if you adopted a "que sera sera" mindset or "what will be, will be" mindset? You need to make a choice, and you're going to do your best with the wisdom and awareness you have RIGHT NOW. Not next week, not when you have more information, but right now. And here's the beautiful thing: You ARE enough. You have the wisdom and the strength to make the right decisions for yourself. Trust in your abilities and believe in your worth. Way Number Two: Abandon The Perfectionism Prison The second way to overcome analysis paralysis is to abandon the perfectionism prison, because analysis paralysis is perfectionism in disguise. Your mind spirals. "What if this doesn't work out?" "Maybe I should wait until..." "But what about this other thing?" "I'm not quite ready..." Does this sound familiar? Here's what I've learned from the success principles, a set of strategies and mindsets that successful people often share: you don't need all the answers to take the FIRST step. So here's what I want you to do: set a decision deadline. Give yourself a timeframe — maybe 48 hours, perhaps a week —but put a stake in the ground and say, "By this date, I'm making a decision." Limit your options to two or three realistic choices. And here's the key: You don't need exhaustive data. You need enough information to feel reasonably comfortable, and then you need to MOVE. Here is why: the clarity you seek doesn't come from more analysis; it comes from action. Way Number Three: Choose Clarity Over Complexity The third way to break free is to choose clarity over complexity. Because analysis paralysis is overwhelm in disguise. Here's the irony: you overthink because you believe it will bring clarity, but it actually creates more confusion and mental fog. You're trying to think your way to clarity, but you're actually feeling your way into more profound uncertainty. So here's your path forward: First, get clear on what you truly want. Not what you SHOULD want. Not what your family wants. Not what society expects but what lights YOU up at this stage of life. Right now, what's the ONE thing that would make the most significant difference in your life satisfaction if you changed it in the next 90 days? Not "well, it depends." But ONE thing. Second, focus only on what you can control. Everything else? Release it. Let it go. And Third —and this is a big one —put yourself on an information diet. Stop researching. Stop reading one more article, watching one more video, because you know enough. I'm going to say that again: You know enough. At midlife, you have decades of wisdom and experience. It's time to trust yourself. So let me recap the three ways to overcome analysis paralysis: Number one: Release the fear. Analysis paralysis is fear in disguise. Number two: Abandon the perfectionism prison. You don't need all the answers to take the first step. And Number three: Choose clarity over complexity. You already know enough. Now, if you're listening to this and thinking, "Yes! This solution is exactly what I need, but I need help actually implementing it"—I hear you. That's why I've created a special workshop just for you. It's called "Unstuck In 90 Minutes," and I've designed it specifically for midlife women who are ready to stop overthinking and start living boldly. In just 90 minutes, we're going to work together to: Create a safe space to explore what you really want (without judgment) Discover your core priority so you can stop trying to figure out everything at once Design your personalised action plan that honours both your dreams and values Connect with other women who understand exactly what you're going through This workshop is not about pushing yourself harder but loving yourself forward. Your next chapter is waiting. And it's time to stop analysing it. You are worthy of the life you dream of and capable of creating it. And you don't have to do it alone. You can find all the details and registration information in the show notes or visit pascalegibon.com. Because here's what I know for sure: Midlife isn't a time to play small. It's YOUR time to honour your dreams, honour you, and finally move forward. Thank you so much for tuning in today. If this episode resonates with you, please share it with another midlife woman who needs to hear this message. And don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode. I'll see you in the workshop. Until next time, stop overthinking and start living. I'm sending you lots of love and light. And remember: you've got this.…

Episode 398: From Chains To Freedom - How To Release What No Longer Serves You 9:57

------------------ SHOW NOTES ------------------ Episode Number: 398 Episode Name: From Chains To Freedom - How To Release What No Longer Serves You Are you feeling mentally, emotionally, or physically chained to things that no longer serve you? In this transformative episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show, host Pascale Gibon explores the journey from feeling stuck to experiencing true freedom. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Pascale reveals how simplicity leads to clarity, and clarity leads to liberation. This episode is part of this year's central theme of emancipation—breaking free from what holds us back to live more fully, lovingly, and authentically. Pascale shares her powerful metaphor of carrying a heavy suitcase filled with worries, old habits, fears, and expectations, and how she discovered she was holding the key to unlock it all along. Podcast Highlights: [00:54] Welcome and introduction to the theme of emancipation [01:18] The heavy suitcase story - a metaphor for what holds us back [02:37] The power of simplicity and gaining clarity [03:45] Five key areas to examine: Relationships, Finances, Career, Spirituality, Health [05:46] Personal story: How "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway" changed everything [06:51] The greatest liberation: Learning to say YES! to love [07:34] Your moment of choice - the challenge to decide now [08:47] Closing affirmation and final thoughts [09:05] End of episode Resources: "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers - [Amazon Link] "Yes! To Love – The Ultimate Guide To Personal Transformation For Everyday Life Balance" by Pascale D Gibon Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact 💖 From Chains To Freedom - How To Release What No Longer Serves You This episode dives into the concept of personal liberation and the practical steps needed to release what no longer serves your growth. Pascale guides listeners through identifying their personal chains and provides actionable strategies for breaking free from limiting patterns, fears, and habits that keep them stuck in mediocrity. Table of Contents - The Heavy Suitcase Metaphor - The Power of Simplicity - Taking Back the Director's Chair - Five Key Life Areas for Liberation - Personal Breakthrough Story - The Ultimate Liberation: Saying Yes to Love - Your Moment of Choice The Heavy Suitcase Metaphor Pascale opens with a powerful personal story about feeling like she was dragging a heavy suitcase filled with worries, old habits, fears, and expectations that weren't even hers. The breakthrough moment came when she realised the suitcase wasn't locked—she was holding the key. This metaphor illustrates how we often carry unnecessary burdens and have the power to release them at any time. The Power of Simplicity The episode explores how embracing simplicity becomes a gateway to clarity. When we simplify our lives, we can finally see which chains are keeping our potential locked away. This simplicity puts us in the driver's seat of our lives, giving us control to identify and release what no longer serves us. Pascale emphasises that inaction makes us bystanders in our own lives, when we're meant to be the directors, stars, and screenwriters of our stories. Taking Back the Director's Chair This section challenges listeners to stop being bystanders and take an active role in controlling their lives. Pascale asks the critical question: "Are you ready to stop being a bystander and take action today?" She encourages reflection on where in life we might need to release something so that freedom can enter. Five Key Life Areas for Liberation Pascale guides listeners through examining five crucial areas: - Relationships: Identifying communication patterns ready for release - Finances: Confronting avoided financial decisions and money-related fears - Career: Assessing whether you're living to your full potential - Spirituality: Examining your connection to love and something greater - Health: Recognising habits that prevent treating your body as a temple She encourages choosing just ONE thing from these areas to focus on for simplicity and effectiveness. Personal Breakthrough Story Pascale shares how Susan Jeffers' book, "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway," transformed her life, helping her become an Amazon bestseller, but more importantly, showing her that fear was the primary chain she needed to break. She discusses how fear, emotional roller coasters, and non-supportive habits can keep us small and comfortable in mediocrity. The Ultimate Liberation: Saying Yes! to Love The most significant revelation Pascale shares is her discovery in her early 40s that the most important breakthrough was learning to say YES! to love earnestly—not just romantic love, but love for herself, her journey, her potential, life itself, and God. This single decision opened doors to healing, peace, and a new way of being, proving that love is the key that unlocks all chains. Your Moment of Choice The episode concludes with a powerful call to action. Pascale emphasises that change happens the moment we decide to transform what no longer supports our growth. She challenges listeners to decide now—not tomorrow, not when conditions are perfect, but now. The power of change lies in our hands, and immediate action is the catalyst for transformation. Conclusion This episode serves as both an inspiration and a practical guide for anyone feeling stuck or chained to patterns that no longer serve them. Pascale's key message is clear: freedom is possible, and it begins with the decision to let go. Through simplicity, clarity, and saying yes! to love, we can break free from the chains of fear, limiting beliefs, and old habits. The episode ends with a gentle affirmation: "I am free. I am safe. I release what no longer serves me. I say Yes! to love, simplicity, and joy." The ultimate takeaway is that freeing yourself from the chains that bind you to mediocrity isn't just self-improvement—it's liberation. ………………………... FREE RESOURCES ………………………...

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful souls. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. A warm welcome to The Everyday Life Balance Show. For those joining us for the first time, this year's central theme is emancipation—breaking free from what holds us back to live more fully, lovingly, and authentically. I'd like to begin with a brief story. Years ago, I remember sitting at my desk feeling like I was dragging a heavy suitcase behind me. It was full of worries, old habits, fears, and expectations that weren't even mine. I felt chained, stuck, and unable to move forward. Then I realised something: the suitcase wasn't locked. I was the one holding the key. All I had to do was open it, release what no longer served me, and step forward with a lighter heart. The invitation of today's episode is to set yourself free. Let me ask you something: Do you ever feel mentally, emotionally, or physically chained to things that no longer serve you? If you're nodding right now, know that you're not alone. Freedom begins when we let go of the unnecessary—those chains that hold us back from the life we truly desire and prevent us from moving forward. The Power of Simplicity My significant breakthrough this year has been embracing simplicity. Here's what I've learned: when we simplify, we gain clarity. And when we have clarity, we can finally see which chains are keeping our potential locked away. This power of simplicity puts you in the driver's seat of your life, giving you the control to identify and release what no longer serves you. Think about it—inaction is like being a bystander in your own movie. But here's the thing: you're not meant to watch from the sidelines. You're the director, the star, the screenwriter who shapes your life story with intention, courage, and love. So let me ask you directly: Are you ready to stop being a bystander and take action today? If so, where in your life might you need to release something so that freedom can enter? Let's reflect together: 🎬 Taking Back the Director's Chair Let's get practical. I want you to think about these five key areas of your life as I share them: Relationships: What if becoming a better communicator could transform not just your relationships, but your entire sense of well-being? What communication pattern are you ready to release? Finances: What is one financial decision you've been avoiding to date? What fear around money is keeping you chained to stress? Career: This is a big one. Are you living to your full potential? If something inside you is screaming, "I'm meant for more," what are you willing to release to show up authentically? Spirituality: Are you honestly saying yes to love? Are you honouring your connection to something greater than yourself? Health: What habits are keeping you from treating your body like the temple it is? Your One Thing Here's what I want you to do right now—and I mean literally right now as you're listening. For simplicity, choose ONE thing from those areas that has been weighing on your mind and you know you're ready to let go of—just one. Pause with me for a moment… breathe deeply… and allow it to come to mind. Got it? Good. Now ask yourself: What would releasing this mean to you? How would you feel emotionally and physically once it's gone? My Story: Fear and Freedom Let me share a personal turning point. I didn't realise how fear was running my life until I picked up Susan Jeffers' book "Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway." That book didn't just change my perspective—it helped me become an Amazon bestseller. But more importantly, it showed me that fear was the chain I needed to break first. Maybe for you, it's fear. Perhaps it's the emotional roller coaster—you know what I'm talking about—one day you feel grounded, the next you're completely unsettled, emotions everywhere. Or it's those non-supportive habits that keep you small, the ones that don't elevate you but instead drain your energy and keep you comfortable in mediocrity. Whatever it is, know this: freedom is possible. The Greatest Liberation Here's what I discovered in my early 40s, and it changed everything: The most significant breakthrough, the ultimate liberator from inner turmoil, was learning to say YES! to love earnestly. Not just romantic love—love for myself, love for my journey, love for my potential, love for the gift of life, love for God. That single decision opened the door to healing, peace, and a new way of being. Love is the key that unlocks the chains. Your Moment of Choice If you feel stuck right now, hear me clearly: you don't have to remain there. Take that first small step today. Simplicity leads to clarity, and clarity leads to freedom. Change happens the moment you decide to transform what no longer supports your growth. So here's my challenge to you: Decide now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not when conditions are perfect. Now. The power of change lies in your hands, and the time to act is now. Immediate action is the catalyst for transformation, and it's within your reach. Are you ready to take that first step towards your freedom? If you feel it's time for change—and you know if it is—don't delay. Start today. Be that change. Remember, freeing yourself from the chains that bind you to mediocrity is not just self-improvement; it's liberation. Closing & Affirmation Let's close with a gentle affirmation together: "I am free. I am safe. I release what no longer serves me. I say Yes! to love, simplicity, and joy." Until next time, I'm sending you light, love, and the courage to make positive changes in your life. I'm Pascale Gibon. Thank you for joining me on The Everyday Life Balance Show. Attention: Want more information about Emancipation? Click here to explore all episodes in this category.…

Pascale 💖 ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful souls, welcome back to The Everyday Life Balance Show. This year, our theme is emancipation: finding freedom in body, mind and spirit. And one of the deepest freedoms we can experience is the calmness of mind. Bob Proctor, one of my mentors, often said, "We don't need to slow down; we need to calm down." When we live in a chaotic, noisy and fast-paced world, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is a quiet mind. Calmness brings peace, clarity, and freedom from the chains of fear and overwhelm. The Power of Intention Calmness of mind begins with intention. We are joyful when we set the intention to operate our lives with peace in mind. When we set the intention to live with peace in our hearts, we claim the power to choose our thoughts. What we put in and what we put out daily shape the quality of our minds. This is you power of choice. Ask yourself gently: what intention am I carrying today? Am I inviting peace, or am I feeding worry? Become a Great Observer of Your Thoughts Living consciously means becoming a compassionate observer of your inner world. Instead of judging yourself, simply notice: Do I tend to worry? Do fear or negative thoughts cloud my peace? Do I hold hope in my heart, or only doom and gloom? Observation is liberation. When you witness your non-supportive thoughts with love, you create space to choose differently. Take a moment to reflect: which thought, if softened, would bring me more peace right now? The Power of Words Our words carry energy. They can heal, uplift and encourage – or they can disempower, drain and harm. When you speak harshly to others or yourself, your frequency lowers. When your words are kind and supportive, they elevate both you and those around you. The words you use have power. Here is a gentle reminder: be tender with your words, speak to yourself as you would someone you love deeply. Elevate Your Frequency Calmness grows when we lift the frequency at which we lead our lives: Peaceful words create peace. An open heart increases our capacity to love. Letting go empties the mind and brings presence Forgiveness frees us from resentment and pain When we choose these practices, we return – again and again - to peace. 5 Tips to Calm The Mind Here are my five tips to return to peace you can start implementing today: 1. E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Technique) to release pent-up emotions, fear, and worry through tapping. E.F.T. is very effective, so try it today! 2. Breathwork: do the 4x4x4 breathing exercise. Inhale for 4, hold for 4 and exhale for 4. It's simple, yet calming and powerful. 3. Walk Mindfully in Nature: our reconnection to nature gives us strength and brings us back to the essential. Feel your oneness with life and the earth. Even walking barefoot on grass can ground and restore you. 4. Hold a gratitude journal: gratitude brings us peace as we focus on blessings, not lack. Gratitude softens the mind and fills the heart. 5. Pray: believe in the power of prayer. It connects us to divine support and brings us peace. These practices aren't about perfection. Their purpose is to create lightness in body, mind and spirit, moment by moment. Maintaining Peace of Mind Peace isn't a one-time achievement; it's a daily devotion, which is the true purpose of Everyday Life Balance. I invite you to create a new habit: set a peaceful intention each morning and revisit it throughout the day. As you prepare for rest, choose one practice to close the evening calmly. Here is a quick reminder of the five tips to return to peace: 1. E.F.T 2. 4x4x4 breath work 3. Mindful nature walk 4. Gratitude journaling 5. Prayer Beautiful soul, calmness of mind is true emancipation. It frees us from the heaviness of fear, worry and the weight of resentment. When you make peace, your daily motto, you invite freedom into every area of your life. Until next time, I'm sending you peace, light, and so much love.…

Episode 396: How To Overcome Addiction Through Vulnerability And Gratitude - From Shopping Addiction To Inner Peace 7:48

------------------ SHOW NOTES ------------------ Episode Number: 396 Episode Title: How To Overcome Addiction Through Vulnerability and Gratitude - From Shopping Addiction to Inner Peace Podcast Highlights: [01:49] Pascale shares her personal story of being a shopaholic in her 20s [02:49] The revelation that addiction is about seeking "enoughness" rather than the behaviour itself [03:22] How vulnerability transformed from weakness to strength in her healing journey [05:06] The power of sitting quietly with ourselves to remember "I am whole, I am loved, I am free" [05:39] Gratitude as the final piece that shifts focus from lack to fullness [06:27] Conclusion Resources: Episode 295 - "Embracing Vulnerability Setting Yourself Free" (referenced in this episode) Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact How To Overcome Addiction Through Vulnerability and Gratitude - From Shopping Addiction to Inner Peace This episode explores the root causes of addictive behaviours and offers a roadmap for healing through three key principles: acknowledging our patterns, embracing vulnerability, and cultivating gratitude. Pascale's candid sharing of her own struggles with shopping addiction creates a safe space for listeners to examine their own numbing behaviours, whether it's overworking, people-pleasing, or endless scrolling. Table of Contents Shopping for Enoughness: Understanding Addiction's True Nature The Role of Vulnerability in Healing Returning to Peace The Healing Power of Gratitude Conclusion Shopping for Enoughness: Understanding Addiction's True Nature Pascale reveals her personal struggle with shopping addiction in her 20s, buying clothes, shoes, and handbags every week. She explains how this behaviour was never really about the items themselves, but about filling a void and chasing the sense of being enough, worthy, and whole. She encourages listeners to look beneath the surface of their own addictive patterns, whether it's saying yes to everyone else, pouring themselves into work to avoid inner pain, or reaching for food, drink, or distractions when what they truly need is rest and connection. The core message is that addiction is never about the thing - it's about the search for enoughness and external validation when we should be tapping into our authentic internal power. The Role of Vulnerability in Healing Initially viewing vulnerability as weakness, Pascale shares her transformation in understanding vulnerability as the greatest liberator. She explains how addiction thrives in hiding, in keeping up appearances and pretending everything is fine. The breakthrough comes when we allow ourselves to feel - to cry, acknowledge our struggles, and ask for help. This vulnerability breaks the cycle and opens the door to peace, self-acceptance, and love. Every tear shed and moment of honesty becomes a step toward freedom, away from the chains of perfectionism and toward embracing our wholeness. Returning to Peace Pascale contrasts the anxiety, restlessness, and striving that addictions create with the inner stillness that comes from vulnerability. She emphasises that peace doesn't come from external sources - not from one more purchase, achievement, or distraction - but from within. This inner peace comes from sitting quietly with ourselves and remembering our inherent wholeness: "I am whole. I am loved and I am free." The Healing Power of Gratitude Gratitude serves as the final piece of the healing puzzle, shifting focus from what we lack to the fullness of what we already have. When we live in gratitude, the compulsive need to fill voids with addictive behaviours softens. We no longer need to chase "more" because we recognise that what we have and who we are is already enough. Pascale invites listeners to pause, breathe, and reflect on what they're grateful for in the present moment, allowing gratitude to remind them of their wholeness, freedom, and peace. Conclusion The episode concludes with Pascale's gentle reminder that while addiction may manifest differently for each person, the path back to peace remains consistent: through vulnerability, honesty, and gratitude. She challenges listeners to ask themselves, "Where am I numbing myself, and how can I instead choose honesty, peace and gratitude?" The overarching message is one of hope and self-compassion - that we are already enough, and freedom comes from acknowledging our patterns and choosing a different path rooted in authenticity and gratitude. ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello beautiful souls, Welcome back to The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, and I'm so grateful you're here. Today, I want to speak about something real – addiction. We all have one, whether it's shopping, overworking, chocolate, people-pleasing, or endlessly scrolling on our phones. At its root, addiction is often not about the thing itself. It's about what lies beneath it - the longing to feel enough, safe and soothed. Over the summer, I took some much-needed time to pause and reflect. That space helps me gain clarity on what matters the most. Freedom begins with acknowledging the ways we numb ourselves and bravely choosing another path. Here is my story of addiction, and how I overcame it through vulnerability and gratitude. Shopping For Enoughness In my 20s, I was what you might call a shopaholic. I was buying clothes, shoes and handbags every week. Shopping became my way of filling the void, chasing the next outfit, the next thrill. Some of you might relate to this. But what I was seeking wasn't in the bag I carried home – it was the sense of being enough, worthy and whole. Perhaps your 'shopping' looks different. Maybe it's saying yes to everyone else and leaving yourself last. Possibly it's pouring yourself into work so you don't have to feel the ache inside. Maybe it's reaching for food, drink, or distraction when what you truly need is rest and connection. When we pause long enough to look beneath the surface, we see that addiction is never about the thing – it's about the search for enoughness. Should you have addiction, whatever it is: ask yourself whether you seek external validation for your 'enoughness' and miss out on your authentic 'enoughness', your internal power, where lie all the answers you seek. Never dismiss your inner power and truth. The Role of Vulnerability In Healing I used to have an adverse relationship with vulnerability. It was never my friend because I believed it was a sign of weakness. I now think the opposite: showing vulnerability is the greatest liberator, for without it, there's no healing, transformation, or progress. Here's where the power of vulnerability comes in. Addiction thrives in hiding – in keeping up appearances, in pretending we are fine when we are not. However, when we allow ourselves to feel – to cry, to acknowledge our struggles, and to ask for help – we break the cycle. Vulnerability isn't a weakness; it's a strength that sets us free. It opens the door to peace, self-acceptance and love. Every tear shed, every moment of honesty, is a step away from chains of perfectionism and towards the wide-open space of freedom. This is emancipation: releasing the need to pretend and embracing the wholeness of who we are. For further help on the topic of vulnerability, I invite you to listen to episode 295 of the Everyday Life Balance show, entitled: "Embracing Vulnerability Setting Yourself Free." Unveiling our protective armour allows us to unleash our authentic selves. Returning To Peace Addictions stir up anxiety, restlessness, and striving. But when we step into vulnerability, we also step back into peace – the inner stillness that tells us we are already enough. Peace doesn't come from one more purchase, one more achievement, or one more distraction. It comes from within, from sitting quietly with ourselves and remembering: I am whole. I am loved and I am free. The Healing Power Of Gratitude Gratitude is the final piece of the puzzle. It shifts our focus away from a lack of something and into fullness. When we live in gratitude, the need to fill a void with addiction softens. We no longer need to chase 'more' because we see that what we have – and who we are – is already enough. Gratitude is a powerful tool that can transform our perspective and bring hope and optimism into our lives. So, today I invite you to pause. Breathe. Reflect on what you are grateful for in this moment. Let that gratitude remind you of your wholeness, freedom and peace. Thank you, beautiful soul, for sharing this sacred space with me. Addiction may manifest differently for each of us, but the path back to peace remains the same – through vulnerability, honesty, and gratitude. As you step into this week, I encourage you to ask yourself: Where am I numbing myself, and how can I instead choose honesty, peace and gratitude? Until next time, I'm sending you love, light and the gentle reminder that you are already enough. Stay blessed, free and peaceful.…

Episode 395: Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works 9:21

21 weeks yang lalu9:21

9:21

---------------------- SHOW NOTES ---------------------- Episode Number: 395 Episode Title: Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works Here's what nobody wants to admit about goal setting - it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. While the "gurus" are screaming at you to set bigger, bolder goals, some of the most successful people I know have thrown traditional goal-setting out the window completely. In this episode, we're diving into both sides of this heated debate so you can finally figure out what actually works for YOUR personality and situation. Podcast Highlights: [01:07] The truth about why most people's goals fail [01:55] Benefits of goal setting [03:54] Sarah's simple savings strategy that actually worked (and why) [04:23] Goal setting setbacks nobody talks about - stress, tunnel vision, and ethical shortcuts [05:18] Why goals might be killing your natural motivation and joy [07:08] Pascale's take on goal setting [07:32] How to know whether goal setting is right for you or not.

Accountability Systems Guide - [URL needed] Connect with Pascale Gibon: Website: www.pascalegibon.com Email: www.pascalegibon.com/contact Should You Set Goals? The Truth About What Works This episode tackles the controversial question that divides productivity experts everywhere: Are goals essential for success or holding you back? We explore the compelling arguments for goal-setting (direction, motivation, performance) and the surprising case against them (stress, tunnel vision, reduced enjoyment). Most importantly, you'll discover how to determine which approach aligns with your unique personality and life season. Table of Contents Arguments For Goal Setting Arguments Against Goal Setting The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Finding Your Natural Rhythm Conclusion Arguments For Goal Setting Here's where goal-setting shines - and why millions swear by it. Goals give you crystal-clear direction when everything else feels chaotic. They help you prioritize what matters instead of spinning your wheels on busy work that gets you nowhere. Plus, there's real research backing this up - people who set specific, challenging goals consistently outperform those who just "wing it." Take Sarah's vacation savings example: she wanted that family trip abroad but had zero funds. By setting a monthly savings target, she could track progress, adjust when needed, and make her dream happen through small, consistent actions. Arguments Against Goal Setting But here's the flip side that'll make you think twice. Goals can become stress monsters that eat away your self-esteem when you don't hit those targets. Worse yet, they can push you toward unethical shortcuts or risky behaviour to check that box. Ever notice how something you used to love doing becomes a total chore once you turn it into a goal? That's your intrinsic motivation getting crushed. And here's the kicker - focusing too hard on end results makes you miss the daily habits and systems that drive success. Plus, tunnel vision from rigid goals can blind you to incredible opportunities right in front of your face. The Personal Take on Goal Clarity Look, I love the clarity that comes from setting goals. But here's where most people get stuck - they set goals with good intentions and hope for the best. Without supportive systems like task management tools, accountability partners, or rock-solid daily habits, you're setting yourself up to drift and lose momentum. One mentor perfectly said, "You need a compass - because without it, any road will get you to your destination." But your compass doesn't need to be a traditional goal. It could be a vision, a feeling, a core value, or a natural rhythm that guides your decisions. Finding Your Natural Rhythm Whether you set goals or not depends entirely on your personality, life experience, and what season you're in right now. Some people flourish with structure and clear targets. Others bloom when they have the freedom to flow and adapt. The key is honouring what aligns with who you are, not what some expert says you "should" do. Ask yourself this week: "What do I need more of right now - clarity and structure, or freedom through flow?" Whatever answer comes up, trust it. You know what you need better than anyone else. Conclusion The goal-setting debate isn't about finding the "right" answer but finding YOUR answer. Whether you thrive on structured objectives or prefer intuitive flow, the most important thing is choosing an approach that energizes rather than drains you. Remember, the journey toward what you want is often just as transformative as getting there. Trust your instincts, honour your natural rhythms, and permit yourself to succeed in whatever feels most authentic. ………………………... FREE RESOURCES ………………………...

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 -------------------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT -------------------------------------- Hello, beautiful souls, Welcome back to The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Thank you for tuning in. Today's episode invites us to pause and reflect on something we often feel we "should" be doing: setting goals. But here's the truth: there are different paths to growth and fulfilment. Some thrive on clear objectives, structure, and direction, while others feel stifled by rigid goalposts and prefer to flow intuitively through life's seasons. In this episode, we'll explore both perspectives so that you can choose what resonates most deeply with your experience. What matters is not what others say you "should" do but discovering what works best for you . Let's dive in. There are two schools of thought regarding goal setting. One believes goals are essential for progress and achievement, while the other argues that goals are unnecessary or even counterproductive. Let's explore the key arguments from both sides so that you can make an informed decision based on your experience, preferences and energy. Let's begin with what makes goal setting feel empowering for many of us. Argument for Goal Setting 1. Goals Provide Direction and Clarity One of the most valuable aspects of setting goals is that it helps us clarify what we want to achieve and gives us a sense of direction, focus and purpose. They help us prioritise what matters, break large tasks into manageable steps, and track our progress. Achieving the goals we set builds our self-confidence and gives us something to celebrate. 2. Goals Boost Motivation and Accountability Goals give us something concrete to strive for, help us maintain momentum, and hold ourselves accountable. 3. Goals Enhances Productivity and Performance Research shows that people who set specific, challenging goals perform better than those who don't. A clear target often leads to focused effort and improved results. 4. Goals Encourage Self-Reflection and Growth Setting and pursuing goals gives us the chance to assess our strengths and challenges. We grow as we stretch, and remember, the journey towards a goal is often just as transformative as reaching it. Let's take a simple example: Sarah dreams of taking her family on a holiday abroad but doesn't yet have the funds. If she sets a monthly savings goal, she can track her progress and adjust as needed. If she falls short one month, she can try again the next. The clarity of the goal, combined with small, consistent actions, helps bring her vision to life. Now that we've discussed why goal setting is essential, what if setting goals becomes a source of stress or disconnection? Let's explore this perspective, too. Arguments Against Goal Setting 1. Goals Can Cause Stress and Pressure For some, setting goals creates pressure and anxiety. When we don't meet our targets, it can lead to self-doubt and frustration. This is especially true with highly ambitious or rigid goals. 2. Goals May Lead to Unethical or Risky Behaviour A narrow focus on achieving a specific outcome can sometimes push individuals or organisations to cut corners or ignore important, unmeasured aspects of well-being. 3. Goals Can Reduce Enjoyment and Intrinsic Motivation When everything becomes about outcomes, we may lose touch with the joy of the process. What once felt exciting, an enjoyable pursuit or creative can start to feel like a chore. 4. Goals Can Overemphasise Results Over Process Focusing too much on end results can cause us to overlook the importance of building good, consistent habits and supportive systems. Systems-oriented thinkers argue that consistent daily actions and routines—not distant goals—truly drive success. 5. Goals May Create Tunnel Vision Having a fixed goal can sometimes prevent us from seeing unexpected opportunities. It can also limit flexibility and lead to poor decisions or missed opportunities if we ignore what's happening outside our defined objectives. Summary Here is a summary of the benefits of goal setting: Provides direction and clarity Increases motivation and accountability Enhances productivity and performance Encourages reflection and personal growth The challenges of goal setting: Can cause stress or harm self-esteem May lead to unethical shortcuts Reduces enjoyment and intrinsic motivation Overemphasises outcomes over process Can create tunnel vision My Take I love the clarity that comes from setting goals. But here's where I see most of us getting stuck: we set goals with good intentions and hope for the best. Without supportive systems – like task management tools, accountability, or daily habits – it's easy to drift or lose momentum. One of my mentors used to say: "You need a compass - because without it, any road will get you to your destination. But your compass doesn't need to be a goal. It could be a vision, a feeling, a value, or a rhythm that guides you. A Gentle Reflection Whether or not you set goals will depend on your personality, lived experience and your season of life. Some flourish with structure, while others bloom in flow. The key is to honour what feels aligned with you. As you reflect this week, ask yourself: "What do I need more of right now? - clarity and structure, or freedom through flow? Whatever your answer, let it rise gently. Trust that you know what you need. Until next week, I'm sending you lots of love and light. Please take some time this week to reflect on your relationship with goal-setting. What has worked for you in the past? What hasn't? And most importantly, what feels right for you now?…

Pascale guides listeners through practical applications of creativity, goal-setting, and service, providing a blueprint for intentional success that encompasses achievement and fulfilment. Table of Contents: 1. Anniversary Celebration and Series Recap 2. Principle #4: Create More Than You Compete 3. Principle #5: Set Clear Goals 4. Principle #6: Serve Others 5. Complete Six Principles Integration 6. Personal Implementation Strategy 7. Conclusion Anniversary Celebration and Series Recap: The episode opens with a heartfelt celebration of The Everyday Life Balance Show's 8th anniversary. Pascale reflects on the journey from idea to reality, emphasizing how following a clear blueprint made a difference. She recaps the first three principles: becoming what you think about, understanding success as the progressive realization of worthy ideals, and choosing courage over conformity. Principle #4: Create More Than You Compete: This principle becomes increasingly crucial in today's AI-driven world. Pascale emphasizes that any successful project stems from outstanding creativity, using Apple as a prime example. The focus shifts to cultivating creative power through visualization. Key questions explored include: What do you visualize for your life? What vision do you have for your next chapter if you're at a crossroads? The episode provides practical guidance on visualizing the highest dreams and taking concrete steps toward achievement. Principle #5: Set Clear Goals: Confusion keeps people stuck, making clearly defined goals essential for success. Using weight loss as an example, Pascale demonstrates the difference between vague wishes and specific goals. A vague goal like "I want to lose weight" transforms into relevant questions: When will you start? What are you willing to do? Which plan will you follow? What ideal weight do you desire? How long will you give yourself? What do you need? Who can help you? The episode introduces the SMART goals framework: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. Principle #6: Serve Others: The final principle reveals that rewards in life are directly proportional to service to others. Pascale explains how operating from giving rather than getting creates the foundation for lasting success. The episode explores the perpetual cycle of giving and receiving throughout life, emphasizing that a life focused solely on getting is inconceivable. Personal reflection questions include: How can I serve from a place of love today? The discussion covers how small acts of kindness create powerful ripples and how serving others fills us while connecting us to the world. Complete Six Principles Integration: The episode provides a comprehensive recap of all six principles: 1. You become what you think about - feed your mind with success-aligned thoughts 2. Success is the progressive realization of worthy goals - stay persistent 3. Don't forfeit success by conforming - choose courage, purpose, and faith 4. Create more than you compete - optimize creative power 5. Set clear goals - be emotionally involved in desired results 6. Serve others - enjoy the greatest reward of giving from the heart Personal Implementation Strategy: Pascale provides a practical framework for implementation, inviting listeners to choose one principle for the week and embody it with intention. Specific guidance includes: If choosing creativity, visualize clearly what you desire. If focusing on goal-setting, be more specific to make your vision a reality. If selecting service, perform one act of kindness simply, quietly, and powerfully. If working on belief, empower yourself with supportive beliefs. The emphasis is on how each slight shift creates momentum, and momentum creates transformation. Conclusion: The episode concludes with a powerful reminder that success isn't a destination but a way of living with intention, love, and deep trust. Pascale emphasizes that the statistics show that 95% of people don't achieve their goals because they don't do what the successful 5% are willing to do. These six principles serve as the starting point, encouraging us to return to them whenever we don't achieve the desired results. The final message centres on choosing the principle that feels most alive within you and beginning there without rushing, allowing answers to come softly. The episode ends with an invitation to thrive, sending love, radiant light, and encouragement to all listeners. Key Takeaways: • Creativity becomes increasingly crucial in an AI-driven world • Clear, specific goals are essential for overcoming confusion and achieving success • Service to others creates the most significant rewards and most profound fulfilment • Implementation requires choosing one principle and embodying it with intention • Small shifts create momentum that leads to transformation • Success is a way of living, not just a destination ………………………...

Pascale 💖 ----------------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------------------- Hello, beautiful soul, and welcome back to The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host and guide to heart-led transformation and soulful living. As I welcome you today, I'm filled with deep gratitude. This show has just celebrated its 8th anniversary. Hurray! It's funny how what was an idea became a reality that is still going strong 8 years later. Following a clear blueprint to create and launch the podcast made a difference for me. Whenever I sit down to write an episode, I'm inspired. It brings me so much joy to know that every episode and word might touch someone's life and gently guide them back to balance, fulfilment, and happiness. Thank you for being part of this journey. Every day is a gift! If there's an episode you've found particularly helpful, please email support@pascalegibon.com or use our contact form to send us a message at https://www.theeverydaylifebalanceshowpodcast.com/contact/ . If you listened to episode 393, you'll remember that I introduced the first three principles of success. Today, I'm excited to continue the journey by sharing the final three. These principles complete the foundation of intentional success—the kind of success that isn't just about achievement but about living with depth, purpose, and joy. So, as a gentle reminder, the first three principles were: Principle #1: You become what you think about. We examined how your thoughts create your reality and why it matters to control your thinking. Your habitual way of thinking is instrumental in your ability to experience success. Principle #2: Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal. I recently met a singer who was launching her first single. We talked about her new venture, and she said, "You know what? I enjoy every single moment of this new experience." Success is about enjoying the journey. Once you've reached your destination, you think of your next project. Principle #3: Don't forfeit your success by conforming. We learnt that the opposite of courage is not cowardice by conformity. Success lies outside of your zone of comfort. Let's now unfold principles 4 to 6 together. Principle #4: Create more than you compete Creating more than you compete is crucial in today's world. With the advent of AI, it is increasingly important to nurture our creative power. Any successful project is the fruit of outstanding creativity. The Apple brand is often an excellent example of creativity. Cultivating a creative mind through visualisation will help you thrive. What do you visualise for your life? If you are at a crossroads, what vision do you have for your next chapter in this new cycle? Take the time to visualise your highest dreams for your life and your family. Visualising your goals and taking steps to accomplish them is an excellent tool for achievement. As we awaken our creative power, the next question becomes: Where do we direct it? This naturally leads us to the importance of having clear, aligned goals. Principle #5: Set clear goals This principle is essential. Confusion keeps us stuck, so clearly defined goals are essential because they help us clarify our direction, focus our thinking on results, and set our energy in motion. An example is: I want to lose weight. So far, it's just a dream or vague idea. To make it more specific, you need to ask yourself: When will you start? What are you willing to do? Which plan will you follow? What ideal weight do you desire to reach? How long do you give yourself to accomplish your goal? What do you need? Who can help you to get there? Once you clearly define your intention, you need to pay attention to it and act accordingly. Based on the example I've just given, I invite you to look at your current goal and identify whether it's specific enough or too vague. If your goals are too vague, use the SMART goals concept: specify what you desire, make it measurable by creating milestones, and make it attainable through progressive steps, relevant, and timely. Let's move on to the last principle. Principle #6: Serve others Earl Nightingale tells us that our rewards in life are directly proportional to our service to others. Let's operate from a place of giving instead of getting, and serving first matters most because service is the soul of success. The perpetual cycle of giving and receiving from infancy to later years is part of the human experience. A life of just getting is inconceivable. Let me reiterate this life-changing sentence: Our rewards in life are directly proportional to our service to others. In other words, the more you give, the more you receive. Think of a time when someone offered you kindness with no expectation. How did it feel? That quiet warmth and sense of being seen is the reward of service. When we give from the heart, the ripple it creates is often more powerful than we'll ever know. The joy of serving others fills us and connects us to the world. Cultivate daily a heart that gives unconditionally. You don't give because you expect something in return; you give because you desire to make others happy. When you give without expectation, your life takes on new meaning. Your energy expands. Your heart opens, and the joy from lifting others becomes its own kind of fulfilment. Ask yourself, how can I serve from a place of love today? Through your work, words or a small act of kindness, you are more impactful than you know. This principle of serving others is a guideline and a source of inspiration and motivation. It reminds us that we can make a difference, no matter how small, in the lives of others. The statistics reveal that 95% of people don't achieve their goals because they need to do what the 5% are willing to do. The principles I have just shared are your starting point. I encourage you to return to them whenever you don't attain the desired result. Let's gently pause here. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: Which of these six principles is calling me today? Where am I invited to deepen, recommit or begin again? There's no rush. Let the answers come softly. The one that feels most alive within you now is the one to begin with. Let's recap all six principles of success: Principle 1: You become what you think about, so feed your mind with thoughts that align with success, not fear. Principle 2: Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy goal; stay persistent and pursue what truly matters to you. Principle #3: Do not forfeit success by conforming; choose courage, purpose and faith. Principle #4: Create more than you compete to optimise your creative power and create new and favourable circumstances. Principle #5: Set clear goals to be emotionally involved in the desired results and achieve them. Principle #6: Serve others to enjoy the greatest reward, the gift of giving from the heart. Here is my invitation to you Beautiful soul, I invite you to choose one principle this week and embody it with intention. Reflect on it, write it down, and let it guide your thoughts and actions. If it's creativity, visualise clearly what you truly desire. If it's setting clear goals, be more specific to make your vision a reality. If it's service, perform one act of kindness – simply, quietly and powerfully. If it's belief, empower yourself with empowering beliefs. Each slight shift creates momentum, and momentum creates transformation. Thank you again for allowing me to walk beside you on your journey. Your growth is inspiring, and your presence is a gift. Remember, success isn't a destination; it's a way of living with intention, love, and deep trust. Now is your time to thrive. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love, radiant light and encouragement.…

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 ------------------------------------ FULL TRANSCRIPT ------------------------------------ Hello, beautiful soul. Welcome to another life-transforming episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host, and I sincerely appreciate your time with me today. This is Part One of a two-part series I've specifically designed for you, especially if you have a dream, a goal, or a visualised intention but feel stuck or uncertain about how to move forward. My heartfelt intention in this series is to help you get unstuck by exploring the timeless wisdom of Earl Nightingale's powerful audio programme, "The Strangest Secret." I strongly encourage you to find and listen to it—it has sold millions of copies. Let it be your companion and guide, especially during moments of doubt. It's one of my go-tos whenever I need clarity or inspiration. Earl Nightingale was a celebrated radio speaker and author who dedicated his life's work to human character development, motivation and living with purpose. He recorded "The Strangest Secret" in 1956 on an LP, a long-playing vinyl, which became a landmark contribution to the personal development field. The Strangest Secret is full of golden nuggets of truth and insight. Today, let's review Earl's first three principles and see how we can apply them to our everyday lives. Principle #1: You become what you think about. According to Earl Nightingale, only 5% of people achieve true success. The difference lies in their understanding and application of one essential truth: "We become what we think about." Indeed, your attitude of mind determines whether you will succeed or fall short. It's as simple and profound as that. Following this first principle, we must control our thinking to achieve the desired results. In other words, we reap what we sow. Let me ask you: What feeds your thoughts? Or what thought do you plant in your mind each day? Are they seeds of possibility and courage? Or are your thoughts laced with fear, doubt and limitation? If you continually feed your mind with negativity, you'll likely produce poor results. But if you allow your mind to soar and nourish it with uplifting and aligned thoughts, your results will begin to shift—often in miraculous ways. Are your thoughts moving you closer to your goal, or further away? Let's take this a step deeper. What fuels your thoughts, faith or fear? Do you spend more time worrying about failure, or do you trust that you are capable, worthy and destined to succeed? When you control your mind and think intentionally and purposefully, you align with the energy of your dream or goal. From this fertile ground, you can begin to blossom into who you're meant to be. So today, I invite you to believe in yourself and start planting the seeds of success in your mind. Gather the inspiration, tools, and support you need to feed your spirit with clarity and calm instead of confusion and anxiety. Ask yourself: What if your goal, dream, or visualised intention was already a reality? Close your eyes, if it's safe to do so, and feel into that possibility. Let that feeling guide your thoughts today. Principle #2: Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal. Now, let's move on to the second principle: what success means. In personal development, we don't define success by a single outcome; it's a journey. Earl Nightingale defines success as "The progressive realisation of a worthy ideal." In other words, success is becoming who you are meant to be, step by step, as you walk toward your vision with purpose and intention. The life coach becomes a coach because she feels called to serve. The entrepreneur sets up a business that reflects their dream, or the teacher twho eaches from a place of passion. Success is the journey, not just the destination. Often, we only see someone's result of success, like the athlete who appears to be an "overnight success." But we don't always see the years of dedication, the long hours of training, the inner work, the early mornings and late nights, the discipline and devotion it takes to rise. Persistence is the bridge between vision and reality. And it requires effort; consistent, purposeful effort. Your results will reflect the depth of the effort you put forth. But here is something even more important: persistence also requires deep faith. That's why it's essential to pursue a goal that feels deeply aligned—a goal that calls to your heart and soul, one that is truly worthy of you. So I invite you to reflect: Is your goal worthwhile? If you answer YES, then any time you feel doubt creeping in, replace it with a powerful mental picture of your worthy goal. Let that image reignite your fire and strengthen your faith. Principle #3: Don't forfeit your success by conforming The third principle is incredibly empowering. Earl Nightingale states that the opposite of courage is not cowardice but conformity. He says that 95% of people forfeit their dreams because they choose the comfort of the known over the courage to go the extra mile for something greater. The mountaineer who wishes to reach the mountain top does not stay at base camp. Standing at base camp, he envisions the top and the various stop points he must go through. He prepares for the journey and embraces each step, no matter how steep. He sees the journey as part of his becoming. The 5% who succeed don't settle for what is; they reach for what could be. They dare to go the extra mile because they're connected to their purpose and grounded in faith. How exciting! So, I ask you gently, but clearly: On a scale of 1-10, how strong is your faith that you will achieve your dream? If your number is below 5, it's time to shift your mindset. Begin building new, supportive beliefs that empower you to walk boldly toward your vision. When you have faith and a purpose that lights you up, you become unstoppable. Part 1 gives you some valuable insights. So let's recap the three principles I've just shared: Principle #1: You become what you think about, so feed your mind with thoughts that align with success, not fear. Principle #2: Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy goal—stay persistent and pursue what truly matters to you. Principle #3: Do not forfeit success by conforming; choose courage, purpose, and faith. As you review these principles, please pause and reflect on each principle. Take a moment to reflect on how you can apply these principles in your life. What changes can you make to your thoughts and actions to align more with your goals and dreams? This episode is just Part One of our two-part series. In the next episode, I will guide you through three additional powerful principles from The Strangest Secret . So stay tuned, and remember to get your copy of his audio programme—listen to it repeatedly. It truly is a gift. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and radiant light. Keep believing in yourself, and keep moving toward your dreams—to your success!…

Pascale 💖 ---------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ---------------------------- Hello, beautiful soul, and welcome back to the Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm Pascale Gibon, your guide for emotional well-being, soulful growth, and self-leadership. Are you Mr or Mrs Procrastinator? In other words, do you ever whisper to yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow…" but tomorrow comes and goes? If you've been holding onto a dream, project, or even a small life change, but it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the list, I invite you to stay with me. Because maybe you've been dancing with procrastination. Or should I say, playing the role of Mr or Mrs Procrastinator? And you're not alone. We all visit this place from time to time, and it's a common struggle we all share. Why we procrastinate (It's not just laziness) Undoubtedly, procrastination slows down our progress and impacts our freedom. It impacts our freedom because it locks us in fear. Let's gently clear the air: Procrastination doesn't mean you're lazy. Procrastination often occurs not because we don't care but because we care deeply and fear getting it wrong. We procrastinate because: We fear failure and protect our tender hearts from potential disappointment. We fear judgment and feel the weight of others' expectations We don't feel ready or good enough We're overwhelmed by the size of the task because the mountain looks too high from where we stand. Or, deep down, we're unsure whether we're in alignment with what we're pursuing. I've been there too. There was a time when I wanted to launch a new project — something close to my heart — but I kept putting it off. I told myself I needed more clarity, more research, more time. But in truth? I was afraid of not getting it perfect, of being judged, of putting something out into the world and hearing silence in return. And yet, when I finally took one small step forward, the weight started to lift. The momentum came. And more importantly, I reclaimed my power. If fear is holding you back, let's examine five practical, soul-aligned shifts that will help you move forward with confidence and grace. Get unchained from fear If you are Mr or Mrs procrastinator, get unchained. Start small by taking your first step and focus on progress, not perfection. Perfectionism is procrastination in disguise. When we believe something must be flawless, we avoid starting altogether. Instead, ask: What is one small, doable action I can take today? Just five minutes of focused energy can create powerful momentum. You don't need to climb the whole mountain — take the next step. It's like the actor about to go on stage and has butterflies in his stomach. Yet, despite the fear, he still has to do what he needs to do anyway. He takes his first step, reads his first line and remains in flow. By taking a small step, you're not just moving forward, you're proving to yourself that you have the power to overcome procrastination. Let's go deeper and look at what your patterns might tell you. Observe your habitual pattern. It's essential to shift the narrative and stop saying "I'll start tomorrow." Life happens now, so instead of saying, "I'll start tomorrow," speak this truth aloud: "I'm ready now. I begin today with grace and simplicity." Do you feel the difference? In addition, developing new success habits is essential. Let me remind you that to create change, you need three things: Stop doing what doesn't work Keep doing what works Try something new and see if it works. Let's observe your procrastination pattern. Why do you procrastinate at a specific moment when you are to fulfil a task? Because you don't feel like it Because you're not sure it will work. Because you're not sure it's worth it. You can break the pattern and look at your options. Are you 100% clear about why you chose a particular path? Are you 100% invested in the accomplishment of your goal? Pause and breathe for a moment. If your heart could speak right now, what would it say about this dream you carry? Are you 100% clear about your desired outcome? Take some time to reflect on these questions to build confidence and reduce procrastination. Let me cover what you must aim for when you have a big dream or idea. Become unstoppable Reaching the level of relentlessness means you are hungry and resolve to do whatever it takes. When you embark on a new journey, your level of commitment will indicate whether you are determined or not and whether you align with the positive changes you desire to make. On a scale of 1-10, how committed is your decision to accomplish your goal? Be honest with yourself. If your commitment score is 1 - 6 out of 10, it will waiver. This will make the journey laborious, like an emotional roller coaster, because you are not emotionally aligned with your goal. Ask yourself gently: "Is this still the right dream for me?" "Am I pursuing this out of love or obligation?" If it's still true for you, commit fully. If not, permit yourself to release it, with peace and self-trust. If it's 7-9 out of 10, you are on the right path and must follow a clear structure. If it's 10 out of 10, you won't procrastinate for long because you are fully committed to going all the way, no matter the obstacles. Let's move on now to the 4th practical soul-aligned shift that will move you forward. Embrace your imperfections Some days won't feel perfect – there'll be days when energy dips, when doubt rises. It's okay to feel this way. The key is to return to your path with kindness, not judgment. Ask yourself: "How can I support myself today, even if it's imperfect?" Permit yourself to be imperfect. You might rest, recommit, or rewrite your plan with more compassion. Your journey doesn't have to be flawless to be powerful. Anchor Your Vision in Love, Not Fear Sometimes we lose sight of why we began. Fear clouds our vision and disconnects us from our purpose. Reconnect with your why . What does this goal mean to you? How will it feel once you've followed through? Take a breath. Place your hand on your heart and ask: Am I creating from fear or love? Let love be your compass. Love will always move you forward, gently and surely. Here is a recap of the five powerful shifts to help you overcome procrastination: Get unchained from fear Observe your habitual patterns Become unstoppable Permit yourself to be imperfect Anchor your vision in love, not fear There's a final point I'd like to make on the fear of judgment. Don't let the fear of other people's judgment paralyse you. A famous quote says, "Someone else's opinion of you is none of your business." We all go through life experiences, and what is true for another person might not be true for us. For example, if they tried a project in the past and failed, it doesn't mean that you'll experience the same drawback. We are all different. Become resourceful and model someone who has succeeded at what you desire to accomplish. When you contemplate change to maximise your potential, the people around you might not understand your desire not to keep the status quo. They might think everything is fine as it is. And they might not understand your desire for growth, so your expectations may differ. Dear beautiful soul, if procrastination has been holding you back, let this intention rise within you: "Today I choose to begin." Thank you for joining me. If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs a little nudge toward their dreams today. And remember, you are capable, worthy and deeply supported. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and radiant light.…

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul. I'm Pascale Gibon, your guide to practical transformation through inner mastery. If you've ever felt stuck in reactive patterns or overwhelmed by emotional highs and lows, this episode is for you. Today, we explore a sixth and essential element of self-leadership: Self-Regulation, a quiet superpower that enhances emotional resilience, deepens your self-trust, and empowers you to create lasting inner peace. Self-regulation is essential for physical, social, emotional, and mental well-being. It's your internal GPS for emotions and actions. It's that amazing ability to stay calm when everything around you is heating up! If you've journeyed with me through the 5 S's of self-leadership— 1. self-responsibility, 2. self-reliance, 3. self-discipline, 4. self-reflection, and 5. self-accountability (You will find these five S's in episode 365 of The Everyday Life Balance Show). This sixth S completes the set, forming a powerful framework for living your best, most aligned life. Let's dive into why self-regulation is the quiet superpower that helps you: • Control your behaviour, • Respond rather than react, • Manage those thoughts running wild in your head, • Stay grounded when challenged, • Keep your emotions in check (without bottling them up!) The Sixth S: Self-Regulation Self-regulation, the Sixth S of Self-Leadership, is our ability to control our behaviour and manage our thoughts and emotions through self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement, especially in moments of stress, frustration, or uncertainty. When you master self-regulation, you are not just surviving but thriving. Without self-regulation, our emotional triggers run the show. We react quickly, feel off-centre, and lose control of our emotions. But with self-regulation, we create a sacred pause; we tap into our inner peace and choose to respond calmly. Imagine you've just received criticism at work or feel overwhelmed at home. Instead of spiralling into overthinking or defensiveness, take a "sacred pause." That magical moment where you take a deep breath, observe your emotions, and respond from your higher self — not your triggered one. Why It Matters for Self-Leadership Self-leadership isn't about perfection but presence and observation. As the observer of your behaviour, thoughts, feelings and actions, you have the awareness and inner tools to guide yourself with calmness and conviction through life's inevitable ups and downs. When you self-regulate, you honour your emotions without being ruled by them. You show up for your goals, values, and vision — even when things get tough. How to Practice Self-Regulation Let's make this practical. Self-regulation becomes easier when you anchor it in daily supportive practices. 1. Body Awareness – Learn to check in with your body. Tension in your shoulders, tightness in your chest, shallow breathing — these are all signs that your nervous system is asking for support. A simple hand over the heart and a deep breath can shift your state. 2. Name It to Tame It – When you feel emotionally hijacked, pause and name what you're feeling: "I'm feeling anxious," or "This feels like anger." Naming creates distance between you and the emotion, which lowers reactivity. 3. Micro-Restorative Moments – These are short, powerful pauses you take during the day — a quiet tea break, a five-minute walk, journaling one thought, or even stepping outside for fresh air. These intentional moments help regulate your nervous system. 4. Set Emotional Boundaries – Honour your limits. Know when to say "no" or "not now" to protect your peace. 5. Use Affirmations That Centre You – Try: "I remain calm and grounded amid change." "I lead with intention, not reaction." Let's Reflect Take a moment now to consider this: Where in your life would greater self-regulation help you respond more confidently and clearly to any unpleasant circumstance? And What is one practice you can begin today to nurture emotional steadiness? Write it in your journal, or pause and breathe into it now. This one small insight could be the shift that changes everything. Why Self-Regulation is a Key to Your Best Life When you lead yourself with emotional grace, you inspire trust—not only in others but also in yourself. That's when the magic happens. You begin to feel more resilient, more aligned, and more you . Self-regulation strengthens your ability to honour your commitments, even when motivation dips. It allows you to show up wholeheartedly without burnout. Above all, it offers you peace—the deep peace of knowing you are always safe within yourself, no matter what life brings. Closing Thoughts Let's recap the 6 S's of Self-Leadership: Self-Responsibility: Understanding the power of taking ownership of your life. Self-Reliance: Building resilience and trusting your intuition. Self-Discipline: Implementing habit-stacking and micro-habits to increase discipline. Self-Reflection: Gaining self-awareness and insight through reflective practices. Self-Accountability: Setting up accountability practices to honour your commitments. Self-Regulation: Controlling your behaviour and managing your thoughts and emotions through self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-reinforcement, especially during stress, frustration, or uncertainty. Which one of these S's is speaking to you today? Consider the impact of self-regulation on your growth journey. How could it enhance your emotional resilience and inner peace? You don't need to master them all at once. Just pick the one that feels most true for you right now. Start there with compassion and grace. I believe in your ability to lead yourself — gently, wisely and powerfully. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Until next time, I'm sending you so much love and radiant light. Keep growing, believing, and listening to your heart's whispers.…

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 ----------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------------- Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome to another soul-nurturing episode of the Everyday Life Balance Show. I'm your host, Pascale Gibon, and I'm so grateful you're here with me today, taking this precious moment to pause and reflect. In our fast-paced world where we're constantly running from one commitment to the next, juggling countless responsibilities, there's something vital that often gets overlooked – something that my heart is calling me to share with you today: the sacred art of just being. Yes, you heard that right: taking time just to be, to breathe, to exist without the weight of doing. How do you like this idea? Recently, one of my beautiful clients opened her heart to me, sharing how foreign the concept of stillness felt to her. The moment she opens her eyes each morning, she's already mentally racing through her to-do list, her body tensing with the anticipation of another packed day. Her story might feel familiar to many of you, and it touched me deeply because it reflects a broader pattern I've been witnessing in our modern lives. Let me share four valuable insights about what happens when we don't make space for being. As we slow down together, let's explore the first key shift that can help you achieve greater ease and alignment in your life. 1. Losing Your Power As A Conscious Observer First, when caught in the cycle of constant doing, we lose our power as conscious observers of our own lives. Think about it: How are you doing? What are you doing beneath all those activities? Does your soul feel nourished or depleted? Are you enjoying your days, or has resentment crept in? If this resonates, I invite you to pause and check in with yourself. Place a gentle hand on your heart and ask: "Am I truly fulfilled?" Take a moment, beautiful soul. Close your eyes and consider whether you are moving through your day consciously or on autopilot. When we're not consciously observing our lives, it's easy to get swept up in the current of life, the constant chase, and forget the miracle of the present moment. That leads us to the second insight I want to share: how often we find ourselves chasing life instead of embracing it. 2. The Chase vs. The Embrace As we run against time, we fail to appreciate each moment. Taking time just to be allows us to savour the moment. There's a difference between pursuing goals with intention and frantically racing from one task to another. If this is you, stay still for a moment. Let's practise together this breathing exercise right now: Take four deep, soul-filling breaths. Hold this precious breath for four counts, and Release it slowly for four counts. Now, feel how this simple practice can ground you in the present moment. Place your hand over your heart for a moment. Breathe gently and ask yourself: Am I rushing toward some distant happiness, or am I allowing myself to savour the sacred beauty of right now? You are not falling behind. You are exactly where you need to be, for everything unfolds in perfect timing when we allow life to embrace us, too. A new clarity emerges as we gently shift from the endless chase into a more present embrace. We begin to sense a new kind of quiet. Yet even here, another challenge often arises: the busy mind. Let's explore how overthinking can cloud our inner clarity and how we can return to a state of gentle trust instead. 3. Calming The Overthinking Mind Third, our precious minds become overwhelmed with constant thinking about the next thing, the next goal and milestone. Now, could you take a deep breath with me? Feel the stillness beneath the mind's chatter. Beneath the busy mind lives a steady, unwavering wisdom. When analysis paralysis overwhelms you, return to your breath and heart. Remember that you already hold the answers you seek. You'd love my heart-centred adaptation of the Eisenhower Matrix to calm the overthinking mind. Let's approach our tasks with both wisdom and love. Here is how you can prioritise your tasks: Urgent and important: Do these tasks in full presence. Important but not urgent: Schedule these with intention Urgent but not important: Delegate with grace Neither urgent nor important: Release with love. Let's move into the final insight today. 4. Choosing Peace The final insight and perhaps the most poignant observation is that we lose touch with the exquisite feeling of deep peace and relaxation. When we finally allow ourselves to be, it's like a gentle wave of relief washing over our entire being. The tension in our shoulders melts away, our breathing deepens, and we most beautifully reconnect with our authentic selves. Take a deep breath. Let go of the rush. Let go of the pressure. You are not in a race. You are unfolding, blossoming, one precious moment at a time. You need to trust the rhythm of your soul, for it knows the way, even when the mind gets impatient. Dear beautiful listener, I want to encourage you to reclaim your relationship with stillness. If meditation was once your sanctuary and you've drifted away, consider this your loving invitation to return. Even five or ten minutes of conscious being can create ripples of peace throughout your entire day. Remember, you deserve this gift of presence. Your well-being isn't just about doing all the right things but creating space to exist, breathe, and be. I invite you, this very day, to carve out a few sacred minutes simply to be. Rest your busy mind, open your tender heart, and listen to the quiet wisdom within. It's waiting for you. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and radiant light.

A warm welcome to episode 389 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. As we celebrate both Easter this week and Earth Day, I invite you to gently reflect on a fundamental question: What is our attitude toward life? This question reminds us that our attitude shapes the kind of life we live. It's a potent principle I like to live by. A loving attitude invites loving outcomes. A limiting one often creates resistance. A simple but powerful example is: If you face challenges right now, what attitude, which includes your thoughts, feelings, and actions, might be holding you back from rising above them? Take a moment to reflect on your relationships and any challenging areas in your life. Consider the most pressing one and ask yourself: What is my attitude in this area? What shift could lead to a more favourable outcome if your attitude feels out of alignment? An attitude of resilience is a loving one. As we celebrate Earth Day, let's harness the transformative power of love to shape a beautiful future. Let's foster loving connections: visualise yourself connecting heart-to-heart with others, feeling the warmth and strength of these bonds. Let's foster loving collaborations: imagine co-creating with others in win-win harmony, feeling the power of collective action. Let's cultivate a life centred on love and invite more miracles to flow in our lives. We sincerely thank Mother Earth for her abundant beauty, nourishment, and serenity. Let's take a moment to honour her with a gentle meditation. 🌍 Earth Energy Boosting Meditation Let's lift the planet's energy this week through this heart-led meditation. Here we go! Find a comfortable position. Gently close your eyes if it's safe to do so. Take a deep breath in for a count of 4… hold for 4… breathe out slowly for 4… hold for 4. Repeat this breath cycle three times, allowing your body to soften with each round. Now, slowly scan your body. As you notice areas of tension, gently say: "Release" or "I release my shoulders," for example. Continue this gentle release until your body feels more at ease. Invite peace and harmony into your consciousness. As we celebrate Earth Day, please take a moment to thank Mother Earth for her beauty, generosity, and unconditional hospitality. Now, visualise the entire planet glowing with divine golden light. It may appear as a golden globe, or perhaps as a rich forest, a flowing river, a snow-capped mountain, whatever image speaks to your soul. See the people living on Earth – yourself included - receiving this divine light, Connect to your heart and radiate a bright golden light outward to the entire planet. Send the golden light to every corner of the world, your city, country, and all seven continents: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia. When you're ready, visualise golden light penetrating every cell in your body through the crown of your head, flowing down to your feet and grounding you deeply into the Earth. Feel yourself rooted, supported and held. Another beautiful way to ground yourself is to walk barefoot on the grass or earth. When you feel complete, gently open your eyes. As we approach Earth Day, I encourage you to find your unique way to celebrate. Whether through a creative project, a moment of reflection, or a gesture of kindness towards the Earth and others, let's make it a beautiful celebration. Until next time, I'm sending you waves of love and radiant light.…

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Welcome back, beautiful soul, to another episode of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Today, we'll dive into something that I know resonates with so many of you—those life-changing moments when you're standing at a crossroads, feeling completely stuck. I'm talking about navigating life's transitions, and I'll give you actionable steps and practical tools you can implement immediately. Let's break this down into three clear, unmistakable signs that you're at a turning point in your life and how to navigate through it gracefully. Sign #1: You Feel Lost and Confused About What's Next You know that nagging sensation when nothing makes sense anymore? When you stare at your life, it's like a puzzle with missing pieces. You don't know what path to follow. At a crossroads, it's common to experience a mental or emotional fog. You might be asking yourself questions like, "What am I meant to be doing next?" Or "Why does this no longer feel right?" This confusion isn't something to fear; it's actually a call for more clarity and alignment in your life. Here's your action plan: Get crystal clear about what your heart yearns for. 1. Grab a notebook or journal right now 2. List your life areas: Career, Health, Relationships, Finance, Personal Growth 3. Rate each area from a scale 1-10 4. Circle the lowest-scoring area That's your starting point. Allow some space for stillness so that the answers you seek begin to reveal themselves. Don't try to fix everything at once. Trust that you're not broken; you are becoming. Pick the one area that scored the least points and set three specific, measurable goals. For example, if it's your relationship, your goal might be to improve communication with your partner, do more activities together, and communicate more often with your family and friends. Whatever your action steps are, put them down on paper because what gets written gets done. Now that we've explored the feeling of confusion, let's move on to sign number two, which is equally powerful but often hidden—your inner craving for change even if you're not sure what that is yet. Sign #2: Your Inner Craving For Positive Change – Even If You're Not Sure What That Is Yet There comes a moment, quiet but insistent, when you realise that the life you've been living no longer fits who you're becoming. It might not be loud or dramatic – it might just be a subtle nudge, a whisper from within that says: "There's something more for you." Maybe your days feel repetitive, or your work no longer excites you. Being at a crossroads is a sign that you're growing. That deep sense of misalignment is your inner wisdom calling you toward a life that reflects your next level of growth. You're like a butterfly ready to break free from that cocoon, but maybe you're a little scared of spreading your wings. And guess what? We expect uncertainty. Here is the truth: change isn't always easy, no matter how simple it seems. As creatures of habit, we love our comfort zones, like I love a delicious matcha tea. Trust that something beautiful is unfolding, and here's your three-step implementation strategy that really works: 1. Audit your current habits: Track everything you do for three days 2. Identify what works and doesn't – what brings you joy? what feels heavy? 3. Create a specific replacement plan for each habit that doesn't serve you. Here are some tips regarding change management: Tip#1: Positive change requires consistent effort, therefore you need to block out specific times in your calendar Tip #2: You need accountability - find a partner or join a group Tip #3: Track your progress daily - use a habit-tracking app or simple spreadsheet Tip #4: Plan for obstacles - create if-then scenarios for common challenges Tip #5: Transformation begins with awareness, and awareness leads to inspired action. And lastly, Sign #3: You've Lost Your Sense of Purpose This last sign hits us deeply—you feel like your life has lost its meaning. You look in the mirror and barely recognise that person staring back at you. Where did that sparkly-eyed, enthusiastic version of you go? They're still there, trust me. They're just waiting for you to dig a little deeper into your essence and come back triumphant. The concrete actions you need to take are to reconnect with your purpose, passion, and mojo! Place your hand on your heart, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: What part of me is longing for more ease, joy, and authenticity? 1st task – Do a skills inventory: · List everything you're good at · Note what people compliment you on · Identify what gets you in flow. What can you do for hours without getting tired? 2nd task - Assess Your Values · Write down your top five values · Rate how well your current life aligns with each · Create specific actions to increase alignment 3rd task - Create an Implementation Timeline: Week 1: Allow some time for self-exploration Week 2: Test one new activity that aligns with your top values Week 3: Evaluate and adjust your performance Week 4: Commit to regular practice Remember, this isn't about perfection but consistent progress. Start with a tiny change today. Open your calendar now and block out 30 minutes for your first action step. Being at a turning point isn't a crisis; it's an invitation. While things may seem uncertain right now, it's an invitation to clarify your values, re-ignite your dreams, and make empowered decisions that honour who you are becoming. Before we wrap up this episode, could you do something for me? If you feel you're at a crossroads, take a moment to ask yourself: · "Who do I need to be to create the life I desire?" · "Where am I called to grow, even if I can't see the full path yet?" You don't need to have all the answers today. Just take the next gentle step with loving intention. If your heart whispered 'yes' during this episode, I invite you to share this message with someone who may also be standing at a crossroads. Let's rise together! Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and light.…

Many thanks for your support. With love and gratitude. Pascale 💖 ----------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------- Hello, beautiful soul, Welcome, and thank you for joining me on The Everyday Life Balance Show , a podcast dedicated to helping you find harmony in your everyday life. I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Today, we'll discuss something that touches all of us: our relationship with habits that may no longer serve our highest good. Could you take a deep breath in and out with me? We all carry habits—some uplift us, and others quietly drain our energy and joy. You know that feeling when your heart whispers that it's time for a change? Maybe you've been reaching for that afternoon chocolate bar even though your body craves nourishment. Or perhaps you've been saying "yes" to everyone else while your own dreams sit patiently on the shelf. It could also be constantly checking your phone, skipping meals, or procrastinating on important tasks. Whatever it is, I want you to know – you're not alone, and more importantly, you can create beautiful change. Sometimes, unhealthy habits become automatic. We link them to comfort, convenience, or even our identity. Our beautiful minds are designed to create shortcuts – little automated routines that make life easier. But sometimes, these shortcuts become pathways that lead us away from our true desires. That chocolate bar might represent comfort after a stressful meeting. That "yes" might stem from a deep desire to be loved and accepted. But here's where the magic begins – awareness. When we shine a gentle light on our habit patterns, we can start to understand them with compassion. And from that place of understanding, transformation becomes possible. I'd love to share a personal story with you. Years ago, I found myself caught in a stressful cycle of lateness that was draining my energy and affecting my relationships. The habit felt impossible to break because it was tied to my identity as "someone who is always late." But when I finally realized that this habit was actually holding me back from being my best self, I made the decision to arrive on time at all my appointments. So, let's explore how you can create lasting change with intention Step 1: Loving Awareness Start by asking yourself these heart-centred questions: What habit in my life feels heavy rather than light? How does this habit affect my energy, joy, and connection to myself? What would freedom from this habit feel like in my body? Take a moment to journal your answers. There is power in putting pen to paper. Step 2: Create Your Sacred Plan Intentions are powerful, but without a plan, they often fade. Now, let's craft a plan honouring both your desire for change and your need for gentle progression. Remember, we're not looking for overnight transformation. Our aim is to nurture sustainable growth. If you're working with food habits: Start your day with a nourishing ritual, warm lemon water or a green smoothie. Create a beautiful shopping list filled with colourful, life-giving foods that make your body sing. Transform "I should eat better" into "I choose foods that fuel my vibrant life." For productivity habits: Break big projects into small chunks if procrastination gets in the way. Create a morning routine that sets you up for success Celebrate small wins along the way Step 3: Embrace the Journey A truth that might hold you back is that change isn't instant. A new habit takes approximately 99 days to become part of your natural rhythm. During this time, you might experience 'growth moments' – those challenging times when old patterns try to resurface. In moments of doubt, self-compassion becomes your superpower. Instead of harsh self-judgment, try this affirmation: "I'm learning and growing every day. Each step forward is a victory, no matter how small." Be patient and compassionate, and speak kindly to yourself. Step 4: Take Inspired Action The bridge between intention and transformation is action—but not just any action—inspired action that aligns with your heart's wisdom. Consider these powerful questions: What one small step would make me feel good today? How can I make this change feel joyful rather than restrictive? What support do I need to flourish? Step 5: Build Your Support Circle Consider: Finding an accountability partner who believes in your growth and resonates with your vision. When things get tough, they'll remind you of the why behind your decision. And when you do succeed, you can celebrate together! Joining a supportive group or working with a coach to accomplish your goal Creating a sacred space and ritual for daily reflection and celebration. Your Challenge This Week 1. Choose one unhealthy habit you're ready to transform with love. 2. Write a heartfelt intention for this change. 3. Design three small, doable steps toward your goal. 4. Take one inspired action today. 5. Share your intention with someone who uplifts you. Breaking free from unhealthy habits is only a matter of decision, intention and action. It's not about perfection but about progress. Start today to get your life and health back on track. Every small step counts. Before we close, I'd love to leave you with this thought: You are not your unhealthy habits. You are a magnificent being capable of incredible transformation. Trust in your ability to change, and know that I'm here, supporting you every step of the way. Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and light.…

Pascale 💖 ----------------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT ----------------------------------- Have you ever felt trapped by your circumstances, unsure how to break free and claim your power? Do you find yourself bound by self-imposed limitations, such as fear of failure, perfectionism, or the need for approval, knowing there's more to life but struggling to reach it? Hello, beautiful soul; I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Thank you for tuning in to episode 386 of The Everyday Life Balance Show, a podcast dedicated to helping you achieve emotional freedom and balance in your everyday life. As we step into the spring season, it's a good time to start fresh. In today's episode, we'll explore the transformative power of personal emancipation. Through the perspective of positive psychology and neuroscience, we'll discover how to break free from mental, emotional, and physical chains that hold us back from living our fullest lives. Here's a truth we must confront: many of us are not held captive by external forces, but by our own thoughts, habits, and fears. This psychological phenomenon, known as 'learned helplessness,' is a result of internalizing limitations based on past experiences. However, through the remarkable ability of our brains to form new neural pathways, we have the power to rewire ourselves for freedom. However, how do we break free from these self-imposed chains? Let's explore three powerful pathways to freedom supported by psychological research and practical applications: 1st Pathway - Liberation from Mental Chains: Understanding Cognitive Freedom Are you carrying the weight of limiting beliefs? These mental chains often disguise themselves as "practical thinking" or "being realistic." However, they're barriers to your freedom. Dr. Carol Dweck's research on mindset shows us that our beliefs about ourselves fundamentally shape our capabilities. What are you operating from? Are you operating from a fixed mindset, believing you cannot change your abilities, or a growth mindset, understanding that you can develop and expand? Take a moment to reflect: · What beliefs about yourself or your capabilities are holding you back? Remember, these thoughts are not facts - they're stories we've learnt to tell ourselves. Here's a powerful exercise based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): 1. Identify your limiting belief 2. Examine the evidence for and against this belief 3. Create an alternative, empowering belief 4. Develop action steps to reinforce this new belief For example: Limiting belief: "I'm too old to change careers." Evidence For: It might take longer to learn new skills Evidence Against: Many successful people changed careers later in life New belief: "My experience gives me unique advantages in any new venture." Action Step: Research one person who successfully changed careers at your age or older. This process helps us see how we can reframe our mental prison into a launch pad for growth. 2nd pathway - Physical Emancipation: The Mind-Body Connection Our bodies hold the key to freedom more than we realize. Recent neuroscience research reveals that our bodies are crucial to our psychological freedom. Here are evidence-based practices for physical liberation: 1st practice: Mindful movement You can practise body awareness exercises that activate your ventral vagal system, promoting feelings of safety, connection, calm and freedom. 2nd practice: Tension Release Exercises (TRE) Engage in exercises that help release stored trauma and stress. For example, regular stretching unlocks stored stress. 3rd practice: Conscious breathing exercises to release tension Use a breathing technique like box breathing (4-4-4-4) to strengthen your nervous system's resilience. Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four, and hold for four. Repeat as necessary 4th practice: Nature Immersion Spend time in green spaces to reduce cortisol levels and increase feelings of wellbeing 3rd pathway - Emotional Liberation: The Power of Emotional Intelligence Drawing from Daniel Goleman's work on emotional intelligence, true freedom requires mastery of our emotional landscape. Emotional Freedom mastery involves developing four things: Developing Self-Awareness: Notice how you feel throughout the day, which involves: · Regular emotion check-ins · Journaling for emotional clarity · Scanning your body for emotional signals Here's a practical breakdown of a self-awareness technique: Let me share Maria's story. She used to snap at her kids every evening without understanding why. Through implementing a simple self-awareness practice, she discovered her emotional patterns: Morning Check-in (2 minutes): · Physical: "My shoulders feel tense" · Mental: "I'm worried about the presentation" · Emotional: "There's underlying anxiety" · Energy Level: "6 out of 10" Midday Scan (1 minute): · Quick body scan · Energy level check · Emotion naming · Basic needs check (hungry/tired?) Evening Review (3 minutes): · Day's emotional triggers · Physical sensations · Energy shifts · Patterns noticed Her discoveries: · She was skipping lunch when busy · By 4 PM, her energy dropped to 3/10 · Hunger + fatigue = short temper · Solution: Set alarms for meals and breaks Developing Self-Regulation: Let's use the traffic jam technique. David used to rage in traffic. Now he uses the "Red Light Reset": At every red light, he takes three deep breaths Names his emotion: "I'm feeling frustrated" Chooses a new response: "This gives me time to listen to my audiobook." Developing Social Awareness: Maria practises this in every team meeting: Notices body language of colleagues Watches for energy shifts in the room Observes who's engaged/disengaged Notes what topics energize or deflate the group Developing Relationship Management Skills: The Conflict Resolution Method using the CARE approach is effective. C.A.R.E is an acronym that stands for: C - Clarify the issue: "Help me understand your perspective." A - Acknowledge feelings: "I hear that you're frustrated." R - Respond with intention: "Here's what I can do." E - Establish next steps: "Let's agree on a plan." Remember, emotional freedom doesn't mean the absence of feeling negative emotions. Instead, it means having the wisdom to: Acknowledge your feelings without judgment Process emotions healthily Release what no longer serves you Choose responses rather than react automatically The Integration Process: Creating Lasting Freedom To create lasting change, we need to integrate the three pathways I've just shared using what psychologist Dr. Dan Siegel calls "Mindsight" - the ability to look within and observe our mental processes without being swept away by them. Here's a daily freedom practice combining all elements: Morning Freedom Ritual: 1. Physical freedom practice: 5 minutes of freedom-oriented movement 2. Mental freedom practice: 3 minutes of mindset affirmations 3. Emotional freedom practice: 2 minutes of emotional check-in Evening Liberation Review: · Reflect on the following: · What freed me today? · Where did I feel constrained? · What's one thing I can release? Remember: According to neuroplasticity research, forming a new habit takes approximately 66 days. Give yourself time to develop these freedom practices. Now, let's recap the three pathways to freedom you can implement today: 1. Challenge and change limiting beliefs through cognitive restructuring. 2. Embrace physical movement and nervous system regulation 3. Develop emotional intelligence through consistent practice. Freedom isn't a destination - it's a daily practice. Each small step toward liberation creates ripples of positive change in your life. Before we end, I'd like to share a powerful question for reflection based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: · Imagine waking up tomorrow completely free - what's the first small thing you'd notice that's different? Thank you for spending this time with me. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear about your journey to freedom. Feel free to reach out at support@pascalegibon.com . Until next time, I'm sending you lots of love and encouragement as you embrace your path to true freedom. Remember, as Viktor Frankl taught us, between stimulus and response lies our freedom to choose.…

Pascale 💖 --------------------------- FULL TRANSCRIPT --------------------------- Episode 385: Time Freedom Secrets - How To Create A Life That Flows (Without Burning Out) Hi, I'm Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome back to episode 385 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. In last week's episode, 384, on setting boundaries, I touched briefly upon preserving one of our most valuable assets: our time. Imagine reflecting on your life and realising that you spent most of your time rushing, completing to-do lists and waiting for 'someday' to enjoy yourself finally. But what if time freedom isn't about more hours – but about making the hours we have truly meaningful? Time is something we never get back; therefore, let's dive deep into something that touches our hearts – the preciousness of time freedom. In a world where we often feel like there's never enough time as we get caught up in endless commitments, a key question arises: how can we take control of our time and reclaim it? A simple definition of time freedom is having the time to do what you want. How does it sound to you? Does it apply to your current life? Do you regularly find the time to do the things you want to do? If so, I congratulate you. If not, an essential factor to consider when evaluating time freedom is the difference between doing things you love and spending time doing chores you dislike. This nuance makes all the difference between flowing through life with purpose and intention and watching the clock because you are engaged in activities that demotivate you. For example, you cannot wait for the end of a working day. You deserve to experience flowing through life. Doing what you love Let me share a personal story. I remember a time at work when I felt I wasn't using my full potential because I had outgrown my work. It was sad to feel like I was wasting my time because my work no longer seemed meaningful to my personal growth. As a result, I decided to change my job to something more exciting. It's key to recognise whether we spend time on things that fulfil us or simply go through the motions. Let's explore how we can ensure we spend our time wisely. Spending time wisely Time is precious, and how we spend it is valuable. However, this reality isn't valid for everyone. If what you do with your time matters to you, then the preciousness of time is valuable. Have you ever considered this idea? Do you spend your time wisely doing the things you love most? Savouring valuable time with your family and friends? Is there a balance between what you do at work and how you spend the rest of your days, or does it feel like you are on a hamster wheel forever, running fast as quickly as time goes and on empty? Reclaiming time freedom As we enter the season of spring, we set a new rhythm. Have you told yourself, "I wish I had more time" lately? If so, here are three signs that it's time to reclaim your time freedom: 1. You enjoy what you do and crave more time in the day for the things you love (that's the soul's yearnings). 2. You are inundated with activities and cannot fit everything in. ( Overwhelm isn't serving you.) 3. You constantly race against the clock (you're missing the beautiful moments). Now, here's the heart-centred approach to reclaiming your time: If you love what you do but wish you had more time – celebrate that passion! Life isn't about rushing; it's about savouring every moment of that beautiful journey. Do you feel overwhelmed by too many commitments? If so, pause, reconsider your options, prioritise what matters most first and pour your energy there. And if you're constantly running against time, it's time to slow down. Do you ever feel like you sprint through life, always rushing to the next task, yet feeling like something is missing? Maybe it's the smile of a loved one you were too distracted to notice or the peaceful silence you didn't take time to enjoy. Time freedom isn't just about managing our hours; it's about being present for life's most beautiful, magical and fleeting moments. They deserve your presence. Reclaiming time freedom is a matter of reassessing our values and aligning our lives with them as much as possible. It's about finding joy in the alignment, like a puzzle piece fitting perfectly into place. For example, if you value exercising at least three times a week, does it fit your schedule? If not, you need to decide to review your schedule and include some 'me' time to re-energise. Reclaiming time freedom could also mean slowing down your activities. If you have been running nonstop like a headless chicken, take a deep breath, step back, and reconnect with how you feel about your daily chores. Lastly, reclaiming time freedom could also mean replacing the free time you have created with valuable time spent on activities or no activities. Time and financial freedom I often hear from financial advisers that when you are financially free, you can get your time back. Financial freedom indeed gives us better lifestyle choices. We may decide to work or not or spend leisurely time. However, many testimonials reveal that true time freedom comes from aligning our days with our deepest values. What matters most to you? Is it quality time with family? Creative expression? Self-care? Whatever it is, let's make space for it. Time and productivity We cannot discuss time freedom without mentioning effective productivity. To free your time, you need to implement a system that works effectively. A valuable and practical tool is the Eisenhower Matrix with a heart-centred twist. Here is how you can prioritise your tasks: Urgent and important: Do these tasks in full presence. Important but not urgent: Schedule these with intention Urgent but not important: Delegate with grace Neither urgent nor important: Release with love. In addition, other effective productivity methods are: Time blocking for focus – you schedule an uninterrupted work period to stay productive. It could be one hour or five hours. Batching similar tasks is an other way– you reduce mental fatigue by grouping similar activities. Lastly, there is the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule, which states that you should focus on 20% of the tasks that create 80% of your results. Beautiful soul, here's your invitation to transformation: Step 1: Take a sacred pause to review your typical week. Step 2: Notice what lights you up and what drains your energy. Step 3: Make one small shift this week to honour your time better. Ryan Levesque is a successful author and marketer who decided last year to spend time with his family. He bought a family farm in Vermont. He has two children and said, "I only have five years left with my boys." His big WHY is the remaining years left to spend valuable time with his wife and children before becoming an empty-nester. These will be very precious times indeed. I think the ultimate form of time freedom is being fully present and mindful of the moment. Sadly, too many people live their lives blindfolded and don't realise the preciousness of every minute. Being fully present is a conscious decision worth considering. Remember, being present is about quality over quantity, intention over hustle, and alignment over achievement. Your time is precious, and how you spend it matters. Infuse every moment with purpose and love, whether you're building a business, nurturing relationships, or creating space for self-discovery. I challenge you to take five minutes today to reflect on your time freedom. Take a deep breath and ask yourself: "If I had complete freedom over my time, what would I do differently today?" Write down your answer and take one small action toward it this week. I hope this episode has enlightened you on managing your time better and enjoying some time freedom. Until we connect again, remember that you can create a spacious, meaningful, and truly free life. Start small, stay consistent, and watch the magic unfold. In the words of Sufi: "Let the beauty we love be what we do." I'm sending you lots of love and light on your journey to time freedom.…
