Joey's Performance Tune-Up

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating! Since so many of us are spending time with family and friends today, I wanted to share the emotion rules for gratitude. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I discuss how to train a state of gratitude, especially when it's the last thing we want to do.

One way to ensure a thriving romantic relationship is to choose someone who aligns with the life you want to live. The challenge comes when we try to evolve our life to fit a romantic relationship. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I discuss how to create a vision for your romantic relationship that ensures connection and vibrancy.

A mistake many people make when creating a vision for their romantic relationship, is that they forget to create a vision for life first. A romantic relationship can absolutely enrich life, but only when you're already living the life of your creation. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I discuss how to ensure your vision for a romantic relationship ultimately aligns and enriches the vision you h...

Have you ever had the experience of being lost in a city? You might walk a few blocks in the wrong direction before figuring out where to go. The experience can be disorienting. Oddly enough, this is how most people live their entire life - disoriented and potentially walking in the wrong direction. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I discuss what it takes to name a Vision for yourself and actua...

Keeping ourselves aligned with an outcome that's important to us by believing it's possible can be tricky. Especially when we're in the pursuit of something that doesn't seem to be going our way. When I feel particularly stuck, I often do an exercise that essentially allows me to name an outcome and then do some reverse engineering so I know what next step I can take in the moment to move me towar...

Freeee-dom! Freedom can be a powerful (freeing!) experience, which can be directed to create epic outcomes in life. Freedom is one of those things that we all know would be a helpful experience to access in so many areas in life, but we don't always know how. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the rules freedom plays by, and how to train it so that you experience it in life. Follow m...

In the pursuit of a great life, we're inevitably going to encounter challenges. Ownership is your pathway to true freedom. When we're willing to own that how we think and behave is our responsibility, we can make a shift and create new outcomes. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I discuss ownership and how to use it to create a life you love. Follow me @therealjoeyklein or facebook.com/JoeyKlein...

Ahhh, peace! An emotion that often drives a sense of tranquility and well-being, which can be directed to create fulfilling outcomes. Peace is one of those things that we all know would be a helpful experience to access (especially when life is hitting the fan), but we don't always know how. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the rules peace plays by, and how to train it so that you...

Disgust is one of those emotions that feels particularly gross. However, it's a perfectly normal human emotion. Disgust is often triggered when we focus on imperfections or when something isn't meeting our expectation. Even though the experience of disgust is not pleasant, there are specific rules that drive disgust. And when you know what they are, you can recognize them when they are happening a...

Inspiration is an experience that may produce motivation and innovation, which can be directed to create amazing outcomes. Inspiration is one of those things that we all know would be a helpful experience to access, but we don't always know how. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the rules inspiration plays by, and how to train it so that you experience it in life. In this week's Per...

An experience of feeling powerful can do wonders for our confidence and capacity when aligned properly. Oftentimes, people can get the experience of "power" confused with "control". Control surely produces very different results. When you train power, you are able to access possibility, which gives you permission to create what is important to you. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down...

Frustration can rear its head in so many instances in life. And while it's a common human emotion (i.e. perfectly normal), the experience doesn't often lead us to produce the outcomes we want. And when frustration begins to loop, it can be hard to access anything else. There are rules to frustration and when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different experience and outcome. In...

Confidence can be a real game-changer when it comes to results. Oftentimes, people get the experience of "confidence" mixed up with "arrogance". Arrogance will surely produce very different results. When you access and train confidence, you are able to accurately measure your capacity, which allows you execute fully. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the rules confidence plays by, a...

Unworthiness, while a common human emotion, can still really take us off our game. It can be a destructive experience and ensure we don't get the outcome we're after, if we allow the emotion to loop without tending it. There are rules to unworthiness and when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different experience and outcome. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the...

A common misconception people have about emotions (simply, the way we feel), is that they feel a certain way because of something else. For example, I feel sad because my girlfriend is leaving me. While this sentiment makes common sense, it's not actually how emotions work. Emotions come first, always, not the outcome. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I debunk this chicken and egg discussion. Y...

When I was in Washington D.C a few months ago, I visited the Natural History Museum. I read something there that said that spoken language began diversifying at least 100,000 years ago and that today there are over 7,000 different spoken languages around the world. That's wild! It also made me realize that no matter what spoken language we learned to speak, all of us are connected by another type...

Every circumstance, outcome, and goal we have in our life is a direct result of the thoughts, beliefs, and values we have. And even though up-leveling, amending, and sometimes deleting our current set would support us to radically transform our lives, we often stubbornly hold on to our thoughts, beliefs, and values... and that commitment to them holds us right where we're at. In this week's Perfor...

Anger is one of the most destructive (and yet still normal) human emotions. Anger keeps us from executing at our optimal capacity and it creates a certain lens around circumstances. This leaves us incapable of influencing or connecting with others. There are rules to anger and when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different experience. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I bre...

Compassion is one of those super-power states. When we know how to access it, compassion is a bridge to acceptance and love. Some people mistake compassion as being "okay" with a situation. But compassion is available even when you disagree with a circumstance and even if the situation is unacceptable. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the thought strategies that fuel an experience...

Feeling lonely is a perfectly human and okay emotion. There were times in my early career where I felt incredibly lonely. The challenge with loneliness is when we allow the emotion and corresponding thoughts to loop and don't know how to get out of it. There are rules to loneliness and when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different experience. In this week's Performance Tune-...

Since today is July Fourth in America, I thought it would be fitting to discuss Freedom as an emotion. Lots of people think of freedom as being able to do what they want to do, when they want to do it. But that's not true freedom (we are all adults after all and sometimes have to do things we don't love). Freedom is about empowerment and a way of being. In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break...

Feeling sad is a perfectly normal emotion. When my dog, Spencer, died last year, I really allowed myself to experience the sadness of that loss for a few days. The challenge with sadness is when we allow it to loop and don't know how to get out of it. There are rules to sadness and when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different experience. In this week's Performance Tune-Up,...

Love sometimes gets a bad rap. But that's because people often think of love as something that can be painful. I'm here to tell you that unconditional love as a way of being transcends the common understanding we have of it and makes for a fulfilling life. The experience of love adds and multiplies, it never subtracts or divides. When we know how to access that state of love, we know a space of on...

Insecurity is a real bummer. It exacerbates an experience of "not enough". Not rich enough, fit enough, handsome enough, smart enough, good enough, or your own personal favorite of the enoughs. Feelings of "not enough" tend to spiral, and before we know it, we're an insecure mess. The good news is, insecurity has rules. And when you know what they are, you can redirect and create a different exper...

Ah, confidence. It's one of those experiences that has the power to create some epic outcomes. But what is confidence? And how do we ensure it doesn't accidentally tip over into arrogance? In this week's Performance Tune-Up, I break down the thought strategies confidence employs, and how to train it so you have more of it in your life.
