Finding Yourself in 2016: Have You Lost Your Savior Within?
How will you go about finding yourself in 2016? I love this image above as it shows the variety and intensity of paths that we might take on our journey. The decisions you make as you go about finding yourself will push you to your limits and sometimes even momentarily break you down to your core. But I truly believe that at that core…that foundation of YOU…lies your savior. The savior we always seem to be seeking in our pursuit of success. Now as I say in the beginning of this podcast episode, I’m not speaking on the topic of religion. Although I do use a reference to scripture to…

Will Your Visions of 2016 Bring You Home?
Will your visions of 2016 bring you home? That is the topic I chose to share on this Monday afternoon for you all. As some of you know, I am back in my hometown of Fortuna, ND. I’ve been spending time with my parents, my grandma and just overall relaxing and recharging the batteries. (Slept in until 10:21 am the first morning! lol) The pic below is the house I grew up in. So as I’ve been reflecting and looking back on being home this week, it brought up some interesting perspectives on the “home” within us all. The one that maybe our life path has taken us far, far…

VaNessa Duplessie: Holding the Space for Success
VaNessa Duplessie is a special type of leader folks. She has the unique ability to “hold space” for those around her in order to help inspire and lift others in their success. It is a sort of personal power that is truly a gift to those who work with her in life and business. I felt the photo below with her, Mark Hoverson and Jonathan Budd (one of VaNessa’s all time favorites pics) perfectly captures how others express their genuine gratitude for her leadership. This episode of The Mindset Mountain Podcast was such a distinct honor and treat for me as I’ve know VaNessa since 2011. She has always been…

Don’t Get Discouraged, Addiction to the Process Not the Outcome.
Are you discouraged right now? Don’t be. Hang on for a minute and then listen in as I tell you why. So…as you look up at the image above you are probably laughing and also wondering…what the heck is going on with Ray Higdon lol?! Well just as my label says in the image, there are many faces to Ray. And that is a great thing for those who seek success in mindset. Just yesterday my friend Ray shared a fantastic video about how not to get discouraged and to avoid becoming addicted to the outcome. He breaks it down in a video/blog post with a perfect combination of humor…

Through The Glass
Through The Glass…. There are times when we feel we are always on the sideline…. We want to get into the game We want it all We can see it…. Taste It… Hear It…. Feel It…. But the truth is, not all of us are blessed with the gifts to have the potential to ‘be in the game’ What is it worth to you to get into the game? Are you willing to do what others are not willing to do….get up early; stay late; run one more mile; do one more push-up; to listen, rather than speak; to let go of ego; to admit you are not ‘all-knowing’??? These…

Resistance: Fueled By Fear
Resistance: Fueled By Fear! In a world of chaos and more and more of individuals playing the ‘victim of circumstances’, the accountability of an individual seems to fade more and more often. I don’t have the time…. I wasn’t blessed with the gifts he/she has…. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth… How about the fact that some of those who got “lucky”…..took them ten years to get to a place of success, and I’m not just talking about financial success. Resistance towards a goal or dream or vision is fueled by FEAR…. Now it is time to overcome this FEAR, to reduce, minimize, or simply SMASH…

Countdown — 3…2…1
The Countdown ~~ Change will begin in 3…..2…..1….. How is your thinking on this? January 1st, life for you is going to change You just need to make it through December to get out of 2015….then all is good, as we bring on “New Beginnings”. Well, we go through a major mindset shift when we begin thinking like this….yes, I’m guilty of this too We go through a ‘poverty mindset’ in our thinking, as we choose to ignore the month of December as the time for change….how about tomorrow, or the next week….rather than less than a month away because the year will change? Our focus is on ‘what we…

Vain …..Or Ulterior Motives?
Am I VAIN? Or do I have ulterior motives? In this episode, hear how the pics I post of my workout journey on Facebook and Instagram are far from being VAIN…… Actually, I force myself to do so, for various reasons….I hate to have my picture taken, actually. On here, my daughter verifies that, lol And last Friday, the answer to my actions became clearer to me in why I am doing so, as one of my ‘best friends’ was ‘DEAD’…….for a minimum of four minutes! His heart stopped. Now why do I do this…. You, nor I want to invest our time or money into someone we know…

The Power Of Silence
Though “words” have an impact……”silence” can echo an eternity. At times we tend to say too much, or we spend more time trying to find words to express our emotions……when the ‘power of silence’ speaks volumes. I find myself falling into the habit of using big words, or trying to find many words to share in a podcast, the copy of post, or even to define the meaning of an Instagram post….. When all that is needed……is SILENCE So need I say more….or write more? How about I just let you listen in on my thoughts of such a powerful expression we should use more often? Enjoy….. ~~Eddie http://traffic.libsyn.com/mindsetmountain/56_The_Power_Of_Silence.mp3Podcast: Play…

Exercise And Alkalize….To Beat Depression
“If you don’t have time for exercising, you will end up making time for disease”~~ Shawn Stevenson, Co-Host of podcast–“The Model Health Show” and author of “Sleep Smarter” We hear about the importance of exercise, but yet we don’t make time for it or implement it into our lives We hear and know the benefits of exercise, but as a whole, we don’t make it one of our priorities in our lives As we should cry during grief or sadness to release the hurt within…. Our bodies need to do the same……CRY And by crying, our bodies need to sweat. Now add in the importance of alkalizing….. Improving your body’s ph…
