Transformed Life 2 Min Encouragement

One of the most valuable things that we can do for someone is to give them the gift of our time. You know, sometimes that's that three minute conversation in the grocery store, or it's taking three or four minutes to call that friend or send them a text. Did you know that if you're discouraged that maybe they are. So if you want to lift your spirits, give away some of your time for just a moment a...

Some days I feel really down. I know you know exactly what that's like. I also know that if I don't express that to someone, it hangs around a lot longer. Often I'll just say to a friend that you know, I'm not feeling very good today about myself, or I'll say something like sometimes circumstances could be a lot better. I know that my words are very powerful. But I also know that if I don't let go...

Being alive and present in the moment can bring life and joy to you. If you're facing darkness, don't be discouraged. Have faith that this is just temporary. Remember who you are and where you're going. Take time to rest today. amplify your ability to give away love and do something nice for someone. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

I really don't want to say this, but I'm going to say it anyway. That is the fact that I'm not a Facebook fan. Here's why. Because we compare ourselves to the things that we see on Facebook. We all do. You know, I want to have as many likes, if I have a post, as anyone else would like to have a bunch of likes when they post something, and we're always looking at the things that are happening in so...

I have an assignment for you today, I'd like you to sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and your back all the way at the back of the chair. And then I'd like you to take five really big, deep breaths. And then I want you to close your eyes and think about you. Yes, just think about you. It's just one to five minutes. This exercise will help you become aware of the words that you say to...

I want to know how you wake up. Now. I am 63. And when I wake up, for the most part, I open my eyes and I'm awake immediately. Not always true. But in my life, I also know some individuals that are siblings and people that I know that don't wake up that well, right when they wake up. They're kind of groggy, and it takes them a while to get acclimated to the day. Now, some of that's just who you ar...

I believe that everyone should change the oil in their car every 3000 miles. I also believe that everyone should celebrate Christmas and New Year's. And I also believe that everyone should be so thankful on Thanksgiving because of the life that they live. But just because I believe those things doesn't mean that that's true for everyone. We're all kind of that way, right? I also believe that every...

I remember talking about the same thoughts we have every day yesterday. In other words, 95% of what we think about today is the same thing we thought about yesterday. And I also remember saying that if you don't change that you're not going to be a different person. I also remember saying that happiness is a choice, which means I don't wait for happiness to show up. I actually choose to be happy b...

No one knows what today will hold. None of us do. But what I can say is that today, internally, in your mind will be the same as it was yesterday, if you don't choose different thoughts, what I mean by that is, is that we were enumerate all the time, which means that we simply have the same thoughts about 95% of the time every day. In other words, 95% of the thoughts you have today are the same on...

One of the most difficult things that I run into in my private practice is when someone wants to hold on to something longer than its actual value. Now, I want to establish, first of all, that it's okay to have things that are valuable and important to you. But something that you had, that you owned 20 years ago, isn't a lot of value to you today, if you're not actually using it, unless there's so...

Are you the same person today that you are five days ago? No, you're not you actually change all the time. Hello, I'm Dan Clark and welcome. Yes, as a matter of fact, you do change all the time. There's always something about you that's evolving. Because you wearing different clothes, eating different food, going through different stores. I mean, things are always changing about us. And even thoug...

Anger is unmet expectations. That means that when you're angry, it's an expectation. The bigger the expectation, the bigger the anger, it's pretty easy to figure out, right? So if you want to have less anger, the best way to do that is to lower my expectations. Well, wait a minute, that means that I should not have expectations. No, you just lower them. If things aren't going well for you, it's be...

When someone tells you how much they appreciate something that you do or about you something inside you changes, your willingness to receive a compliment and sincerely receive it because of something that you've done or who you are, isn't prideful. It's about a deep connection. That is magnificent. I was telling you yesterday how I became overwhelmed by hearing about these women that were minister...

Yesterday I had an experience that I don't have very often, I was actually overwhelmed by tears while I was working with a client. Now I'm the life coach. So I'm the one that should have my stuff together, right? Well, it wasn't about not having my stuff together. It was about I was so touched by the story she was telling me. And I had such great compassion for the event that she had participated...

No one likes the idea of fake. We all know when someone's being fake, it's very obvious to us. But then there's this thing called faith. And I'm going to add another component to that is feeling is healing. What I mean by that is this, if you can't feel something before it happens, then it's probably not going to happen. Now I know that that feels fake. But what's true is we often wait for somethi...

I was not motivated last week at all, I know you have those days, too, I didn't send out a single text. And that's because I was working through some internal things on the inside of me about how I felt about me, and what I was motivated by and what I really wanted to do. Now, I enjoy doing these texts for you a lot. But sometimes it's a lot of work. And so I took a short break, evaluating what I...

Here are three things that I've learned that truly bring happiness to me number one is laughing and having great conversations number two is spending time with people that you really love and number three is wanting a lot less I love you I'm Dan Clark

What exactly is discipline to you? I was recently thinking about the word and came to a fun and interesting conclusion. When you look up the definition of discipline, it says a punishment. Well, I don't know that that's actually accurate. I mean, parents have a tendency to discipline a child in order to give them some type of a guidelines if they learn something. But do we punish ourselves when we...

I just read something that's fascinating. It's called happiness triggers. Now I've read this before, but I wasn't thinking about it for a while. Happiness triggers are when you know things that make you happy, like a hug or clean sheets or a clean house or, you know, not a rainy day or a sunny day or things that viscerally make you super happy, like spending time with friends or whatever those thi...

Yes, it happened again, I did have the most wonderful, the most calm, engaging, beautiful, fantastic, overwhelming day ever. And that's the day that's going to happen tomorrow. I anticipate always having good days. That's because I really live in the moment and expect things to go well. And even when they don't go, Well, I still find a way to move through them. Because experiences are what I'm sup...

If I want to be happy, I can't tell you how many times I hear that in a week. And we all want to be happy. But here's the downside. If I want to be happy, and I will only be happy if or when that means that I'm never going to be happy now, Happiness isn't waiting for things to change. Happiness isn't waiting for things to be in the future. Happiness is right now, choosing to be happy about the thi...

Do what you think about the most ends up showing up in your behavior. And in your words, I love repeating to someone the things that they just said to me, because it reveals the unconscious truth about who they are. And if you watch them behave, you can do the same thing because we behave according to the deepest thoughts that we have about ourselves and how we judge others. So pay attention to th...

In this moment, I want you to be thinking about your current age. And whatever age that is, I want you to either say it out loud, or think it loudly to yourself, say to yourself, I am and put your age in here. Here's why. Because you will never be this age, again, five years from now, or 10 years from now, you will be obviously five years older, or 10 years older. And the decision that you make to...
