1 Minute to Unstuck

There’s something interesting about why giving advice feels so good. On the surface, it seems like it’s about helping others. But if you dig deeper, you’ll find it’s really about you! 1. There’s a sense of control it gives you over others. 2. When you’re the one people turn to, it creates feelings like you matter. 3. Guiding others allows you to shape their decisions, which can create a sense of s...

Sometimes, when you’re on the verge of doing something a thought pops up that says "What's the point?" You might think you’re thinking the thought, but it’s an automatic response that comes up on it’s own. There’s a good reason for that. It’s designed to shut down your motivation before it has a chance to grow. As soon as the thought crosses your mind, it’s like a barrier goes up making the decisi...

It’s about deeper stuff going on inside your mind and body. If growing up you had core needs that WEREN'T met… And your brain learns these needs can’t be met or are too dangerous to be met… Instead of having you meet the need, it DISTRACTS you from the pain. One of the ways it distracts you is by making your life difficult, challenging, or keeping you from finishing anything. So, your focus is ALW...

When there are no consequence, your brain’s less likely to motivate you to do something. But that’s not the whole story. Because you can still procrastinate even when there are consequences. In fact we often procrastinate because of the consequences. If there’s a possibility of making a mistake, failing, or wasting time and money are all consequences that will make your brain wanna procrastinate....

Winning can mean different things to different people. There’s the kind of winning where you’re trying to out do others. This can give a rush and sense of superiority, which feels great! But it often comes with stress and pressure. Also, competing against others can make you lose sight of what truly makes you happy. Now, the other winning is all about personal achievement. It's about setting goals...

You know the feeling when you want something so bad… And you can’t wait to get. In fact, you wish you could have it right now in this moment! It’s easy to chase something new and exciting, and as soon as you get it, already looking for the next fix. It's like there's never a moment to just breathe and enjoy what you have. If you do this, know you can be caught in this pattern. As soon as you get s...

Anytime you feel confused by someone's reaction, know it’s not about you. They are just projecting people from their past on to you. That’s because when someone meets you, they don’t know you. They only know to the extent of the people they’ve experienced in their past. Their brains makes a prediction of who you are based on people they’ve interacted with in the past. So they are not necessarily r...

Improving your results starts with improving yourself. I thought it was the other way around. That I needed to improve my results first. Boy was I wrong! The key to not just better outcomes, but more “fulfilling” outcomes is to become a better person first. It's okay to not have it all figured out right away. Take time to reflect on your actions, and be honest about your strengths and weaknesses....

Your challenges in life isn’t because of your challenges. It's about protecting the image you've built. You've crafted this persona or created this hype, and the last thing you want is to do anything that could challenge that image. 🧠 Think about it: by avoiding challenges, you're keeping your self-image intact. Although your self-image is intact, you're also missing out on growth and new opportu...

Sabotaging yourself isn't about messing up. It's actually your subconscious pulling the strings to get what it wants. This pattern can be eye-opening. It shows that deep down, a part of you isn’t aligned and doesn’t want the same thing you want. It’s hard to imagine that “you” don’t want the thing you actually “want.” Unfortunately it’s the hard reality. It’s the complex nature of the brain. One p...

This secrets helped me stick through the tough times … those times when things aren’t flowing, the same work’s getting harder, and I’m being pulled to their in the towel. I realized that usually happens when I’m on the cusp of getting to the next level, and my brains making a last ditch effort to stay in old ways. I’ve learned if I just stick with it, the next level’s right around the corner and I...

I was at a seminar about a year ago, and someone in the audience asked a fascinating question. He said, why’s it I’m more willing to support, or encourage others, but not myself? The speaker didn’t have an answer, but afterwards, I approached and said, It’s because it’s much easier, to tell others what to do , than do it ourselves. It’s much easier, to encourage others to be their best selves, tha...

This is how to ruin your life. Anytime you receive something, whether that’s news, feedback, or comment, there’s a triggered response, and then there is a response after the trigger. The triggered response is the automatic response that comes up, and it’s usually charged with strong feelings of anger, fear, or even lust and desire. Then there’s the response that comes when those feelings leave. If...

This is what’s driving you crazy, I mean absolutely bonkers. Do you ever not want to do something, but you do it any way so you don’t have to feel regret. You know what I mean, you’ll regret not doing it, so you do it. The things is if it doesn’t go well, you’ll regret doing it. The thing about regret is it’ll show up regardless if you do it or not. You’ll feel regret for not having done it or was...

This is the biggest challenge for a human. I used to think life was about working hard, showing up, and doing the work. But there’s this one thing that messes it all up, and that’s anytime I’m making progress or doing well, the ego starts to creep. It makes me get too confident, feel better and superior to others, and creates feelings like I can slack and don’t need to put in as much effort anymor...

Here’s the thing I’ve noticed with people who get nowhere in life. They hear a voice in their head when something doesn’t work after 2 3 or even 4 tries, that it’s never gonna work and to throw in the towel. The thing is your brain doesn’t know it takes at least 30 40 50 times of trying and failing just to start getting good at something. It literally takes that many times just to get a feel for a...

The hands down hardest things to do are the ones where the natural response is to do the opposite. Here’s what I mean. If I wanna avoid sweets, but all my brain does is create cravings for them, it’s gonna be difficult to do. I’m always going to have this battle. My brain’s gonna tempt me and I have to fight temptation. This applies to anything in life where your natural response is the opposite....

One thing I struggled with in the recent past is that most people I knew wanted to bring me to their level. And because of the human innate desire to relate and connect, my brain would pull me to meet them at their level over my own growth, and it added to the challenge of staying on my path and growth. Sometimes you have to pick between relationships and your own growth. For more visit kamknight....

In my experience as an author of 12 books and coaching thousands of people around the world, here are the people most difficult to help. As much as they need and want the help there’s nothing you can do to help them. And that’s people who aren’t open to short-term discomfort for long term gain. They can’t see the temporary discomfort will lead to something greater, so will avoid the discomfort at...

You know what’s crazy I realized. Most things in life aren’t hard, it’s a flurry of activity the mind creates that makes’em hard. Anytime I wanna do something, in an instant my thoughts’ll run saying you sure you wanna do this, what if it doesn’t work, it’ll take too much time, maybe we should do something else. Then all sorts of feelings will come up like anxiety, dread, sometimes overwhelm, or I...

Change can take place in an instant. It’s easy to think because you’ve done things or been a certain way for years that it’ll take years to change or you need to do all these things just to start. But it can literally happen right now. You don’t have to get this outta the way, get that done, or have all these things completed first. You can start right now. Yes I know, easier said than done but kn...

You’ve heard about beliefs and how they drive many of your decisions and actions? What you may not know is your loves to reinforce its beliefs. It’s always looking at the world to see where its beliefs are true and it gets this high when it finds it, like look I knew I was right. And it’ll throw out all examples that go against it. Seeing isn’t believing, but believing is seeing. What you believe,...

This is the disconnect you’re experiencing from all those inspiring quotes and commercials on your social media feed. Motivational quotes and commercials are about feelings, but success is about doing. It seems like those feelings will lead to doing, but they almost never do. All they do is lead to chasing more feelings, and if you’re not aware or careful, you’ll keep chasing until you have a dopa...

You know one thing I’ve notice that’s getting in your way? People will follow far inferior, basic, and even common sense tips from someone in a position of authority, than a tip that’s new, mind blowing, or works from someone who’s not. I’m not saying what the authority is saying is not valid, but if it’s not working out it’s time to look else where. The most popular isn’t always the best or best...

One of the biggest mistakes I made is wanting to chase the top right out of the gate. I'd see someone super successful and wanted to be at that level. Not only that but I wanted to be there now or do it fast, sometimes faster than anyone else. I learned the hard way that was too much of a jump for my mind. The brain is not built to go from 0 to 60 and trying to do so created immense resistance...
