3 Keys to Effective Goal Setting (and Why You Should Write Down 101 Goals!)- Ep56

In this episode, we dive into the power of goal setting and why it's a game-changer for achieving your dreams. Inspired by The Success Principles by Jack Canfield, we explore three key reasons goal setting is so important: ✨ Getting clear on your goals activates your brain's Reticular Activating System (RAS), helping you notice opportunities to make them happen. ✨ Writing down your goals makes them significantly more likely to come true. ✨ Dreaming big expands your mindset, stretches your belief in what's possible, and keeps you motivated to pursue meaningful goals. I also share a personal story of how I achieved a big goal using these techniques—proof that this works! Your Weekly Challenge! Write down 101 goals for your life. They can be big, small, wild, practical—anything that excites you. This exercise helps you think beyond your usual limitations and opens you up to possibilities you may not have considered before. You might be surprised by what comes up and how many of these goals start becoming reality over time! Here are 3 of my 101 goals... what about YOU?!

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Too much to do, but not enough time? Take an 8-minute pause to reset with this guided meditation designed to ease overwhelm and bring you back to center.

Afterward, take a few minutes to journal with these prompts: ✨ What is most important today? ✨ What can I delegate or set aside? ✨ What is not actually necessary? When we prioritize what truly matters, we often realize that certain tasks aren't essential—or that there's a more efficient way forward.

Reframing Problems as Opportunities - Ep50

In this episode, we explore the idea that life's challenges are actually opportunities for growth. Inspired by Wayne Dyer's wisdom, I share personal experiences, practical tools, and reflective questions to help you shift your perspective and turn obstacles into stepping stones for personal expansion. Here's what we'll explore: Reframing Problems Remind yourself that problems are temporary and part of your journey. Shift your mindset to see obstacles as opportunities for growth, rather than something that you just have to "get through." Trust the Process Believe that everything happens for a reason, even if you can't see it yet. Trust that you're never given more than you can handle. Practice Gratitude Embrace a mindset of gratitude: I am grateful for the opportunity to grow through this experience. Reflection Prompts Ask yourself: What can I learn from this situation? How am I being asked to level up? How is this experience helping me grow? Take some time to pause and reflect on these tools during the episode. By applying them to your life, you'll begin to see challenges not as obstacles but as opportunities for transformation. Let's stay connected!

Ep 46A Gentle Reminder: You are STILL Exactly Where You Need to Be - Ep46

Are you feeling as if you are forcing things to happen? Swimming upstream? Struggling with a challenge? In episode 36, I shared a message that you are exactly where you are meant to be. This episode is a continuation of that message. You don't have to try so hard. You don't have to push and force. Sometimes you just have to pause and stop. Tune into your body. Look around. Reflect. Ask yourself: how can I stop forcing, and start trusting? How can I flow with life? How can I surrender? May this message serve as a gentle reminder that you are exactly where you should be. And the next step is to pause and take the next best step. You don't have to know what the entire path looks like. You can't connect the dots looking forward. You just have to trust that each step, thoughtfully chosen, will lead to the next best step. This is a practice. So "mistakes" are part of the journey. Give yourself grace, and enjoy the adventure... Love, Julie *Join my newsletter for exclusive udates and life tools for magical living!* Rainbows are Circles Newsletter www.rainbowsarecircles.com ___________ EPISODE TRANSCRIPT: Hi everybody, welcome back to Rainbows Are Circles. Today we're doing an impromptu episode. I was really excited to record an episode today and I started kind of formulating a few topics and what I wanted to say and none of them seemed to be panning out, like I just kind of felt like I was forcing it. And so I decided that I was going to do something similar to what I did a couple weeks ago where I just kind of pause, take a breath and ask what wants to come through right now? What do people need to hear right now? How can I best serve whoever is listening to this? So I just invite you to take a deep breath in and out with me. Dear loved ones, thank you for being here, for your presence, for opening your ears to this message. Recently I shared that you are exactly where you're meant to be. (1:26 - 2:49) And some of you found that very frustrating to hear. I get it. But I'm here to tell you again that wherever you are, whatever is going on, everything is happening and playing out exactly as it's meant to. You don't need to figure out why. You don't need to understand everything right now. The most important thing to do right now is to accept where you are and to trust that it's happening for you. Once you're in that space, the answer, the next step, the next part of your path will be revealed. You cannot always see the whole path from the beginning. There is a step-by-step process that happens. (2:51 - 7:35) It is an unfolding. As you take one step, the next one gets revealed. But you don't get to see the whole thing right away, which is why it requires trust. Now this is going to feel very scary for some of you. Trust in what? Trust how? Trust why? Why not? How has your lack of trust served you so far? How has not trusting played out in your life? How does it feel to force or to live from ego, from overthinking, from overplanning? This may work for you in some ways, but it does not lead to the most fulfilling path. You can and should ponder on this on your own. Don't take anything as an absolute. Anything that I say or anything that you hear from anybody, don't just take it as a cold hard fact. Reflect on it.Let it roll around in your mind and see, does that feel true for me? And then you decide. And then you can decide to take advice, follow it, try it, or not. But be open to hearing it, reflect on it, decide and think for yourself after that. That's all for today, but it's actually quite a lot. And that is your homework to reflect on how you do or do not trust in the rhythm of life, in the guidance that is always available to you. How do you try to force things to happen? And how do you listen when something feels like there's so much resistance that it's time to take a pause? And when you feel that resistance, what do you do next? What do you feel called to do next? You may not know what that is because you're not used to listening. And so this week, that's something that you can practice. When you feel you're up against a wall, when you're a salmon swimming upstream, what if you stopped? Stopped forcing, stopped exerting so much energy and trying so hard. What if you then stopped and asked, is there another way? How can I make this more fun? How can I make this easier? How can I flow with life instead of fighting against it? This can be applied to any aspect of your life, any activity, any task, any project, any relationship. Play with it, explore, have fun, enjoy, and take note of what you observe. Feel free to share it. Thank you for listening and have a beautiful and magical week. (7:36 - 7:43) Make it magical. How you do that is up to you. Until next time. (7:46 - 8:13) Thanks for tuning into Rainbows Are Circles. If you're loving the podcast, I'd be so grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review. It's the best way to help more people discover life tools for better living. And don't forget to sig

Overcome Imposter Syndrome: Trust in Yourself and Stay the Course - Ep39

Do you struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, and constantly not feeling good enough? Imposter syndrome is characterized by a persistent feeling of self-doubt and insecurity, despite evidence of success or competence. People experiencing imposter syndrome often feel like they don't deserve their achievements or that they're "faking it," even when they're clearly skilled or accomplished. Downplaying compliments, perfectionism, and feeling like a fraud are all ways that imposter syndrome shows up. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step in overcoming imposter syndrome. Once recognized, we can reframe our beliefs, consciously acknowledge and celebrate our achievements, and build trust and confidence in ourselves over time. Want to learn more?

Have you ever asked yourself why you love what you love? Are you yearning to express yourself creatively? Need tips on developing discipline to support your passions? JoAnneh Nagler is a multi-talented artist who expresses herself through music, writing, painting, and teaching yoga. What I love most about JoAnneh is how freely and effectively she explores various forms of art and defines her own version of success in art and life. In our interview, we explore: how everyone is creative, and that creativity is simply making something that didn't exist before the importance of creating dedicated time for the activities that are most important to you (JoAnneh inspired me to start prioritizing and honoring my creative endeavors, instead of just "getting around to them" when I found the time) how to discover your unique form of art/joy/creativity; how are you wired? what are you drawn to? what sparks your joy? Your life is your creation, your very own masterpiece. Let it be a reflection of your heart, your happiness and your unique essence.

Ep 31A Guided Relaxation Experience - 031

This is a deeply soothing 15 min practice designed to settle your nervous system and nourish you from the inside out. We will explore: What arises when you are fully relaxed and present in your body? How can you tend to yourself and practice self-care? Do you receive inner guidance when you take time to relax and connect within? Write down any insights that arise. When I did this practice recently, I realized what I have been craving in my life is support. Not support from other people, but from myself. I have to give to myself the things that I've always longed to hear from others: "I am proud of you. You are more than enough. I love you so much. You have so much value to offer this world. You don't have to try so hard. You are so good at what you do. You are incredibly intelligent. You offer unique gifts that are needed in this world." I hadn't realized how much I was still seeking approval from others, and how self-critical I can be. Now that I'm aware of what I need right now, I am speaking kind words to myself and supporting myself like crazy! I even treated myself to a pair of earrings I love and took myself on a dinner date (I usually only eat at restaurants when I'm with other people). It felt really nice and I ended up having an unexpectedly fun evening that included meeting new friends and singing karaoke :P It's funny the experiences we attract when we are kind and loving to ourselves. I invite you to use this practice whenever you feel called. Notice how you feel afterwards and write down anything interesting that arises.

Ep 30The Power of the Pause - 030

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel rushed and stressed, even when doing mundane things. In this episode, we explore the importance of pausing, slowing down, and becoming aware of our surroundings. Even taking one deep breath is a powerful way to manage stress and anxiety because it creates space for us to notice how we're feeling. Once we're aware, we then can make a choice about how to proceed. We can continue rushing and feeling stressed, or we can pause and do something to shift our state. As you listen to this episode, I invite you to go through the breathing and mindfulness practice with me. Breathe slowly and deeply. Become aware of your surroundings. Notice what you can appreciate. Notice how you feel. Acknowledge that you just created a shift in yourself, simply by taking a minute to pause, breathe and become more present. Continue with your day from this grounded state, rather from a stressed-out state. Notice any effects. Do you make better decisions? Does your day flow more smoothly? What else can you do to create a joyful pause in your day? Perhaps eating lunch outside in the fresh air, without your phone or computer; taking a walk; journaling or reading; exercising... what activities make you feel good, calm and relaxed? Make time for them, prioritize them, and do them more often.

Ep 29It's OK to Suck! - 029

Do you want to start something new (project/hobby/language/etc.), but are scared to begin because you don't want to suck? This 12 min episode reminds us that it's ok to not be good at something, especially when we're new. We have to develop our skills over time. Be ok with sucking. And keep showing up, developing our backbone, doing the work, and focusing on our incremental progress. In this 12 min episode, I share a quote from Ira Glass, producer and host of This American Life which begins, "Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone had told me." (You'll have to listen to the episode to get the full quote. Trust me, it's a good one.) Key takeaways: When beginning a new habit, start so small that you can't fail. In order to get good at something, we have to keep at it, and do it a lot.

Coronavirus from Nature's Perspective + Making the Most of Your Quarantine - 012

The recent coronavirus outbreak has created a lot of fear, uncertainty and pain for human beings - and understandably so. We are experiencing a global pandemic unlike anything we've seen in this lifetime. It's natural that much of our attention is focusing on the negative effects that the coronavirus is having on human affairs. However, I don't feel the need to focus on those issues because this is what most of the media is focusing on. In this episode, I want to explore the coronavirus outbreak from a different, non-human perspective - what if we see this situation from nature's perspective? Since humans have been forced indoors due to the 'shelter in place' orders, the reduced impact of human behavior on the rest of the world has created positive changes for the environment and the other creatures on this Earth. What if this outbreak and quarantine is exactly what the planet needs right now to bring itself back into balance? Let's explore the coronavirus outbreak from nature's perspective and also discuss how we can make the most of our time sheltering in place. We will finish with a 10 minute guided visualization to help us relieve anxiety, see this situation from a new perspective, and feel a connection to other beings on this planet. www.rainbowsarecircles.com
