Episode 006 Where Your Results Really Begin

Where do the results we create in our lives actually begin? It's easy to look at a result and focus on what happened at the end — the action we took, the decision we made or the outcome we achieved. But what if the process began much earlier? In Episode 006 of Growing Plants, Growing People, Kristian and Daniel bring together many of the ideas we've explored throughout the Foundation Series and look beneath the visible results to consider where those results really begin. Our Self-Talk doesn't exist in isolation. The messages and programming we carry can influence our beliefs. Our beliefs can influence our attitudes and feelings. Those, in turn, can affect the actions we take — and the actions we repeatedly take contribute to the results we create. Just as what we see growing above the surface of a garden is influenced by conditions we may not immediately see below it, the visible results in our lives can have roots that go much deeper. In this episode you'll discover: • Why our results may begin long before the final action we take • How programming can influence the beliefs we develop • How beliefs can affect our attitudes, feelings and behaviour • Why our internal dialogue can influence the actions we take • How repeated actions contribute to the results we create • Why focusing only on the final result can mean overlooking what is happening beneath the surface • How understanding this process can give us a different place from which to begin creating change Throughout these first six episodes, we've been gradually working our way beneath the surface. We've explored Self-Talk, where some of our beliefs come from, why good advice alone may not create lasting change, what contributes to success and the extraordinary amount of thinking taking place within us. Now we can begin to see how those pieces connect. Because perhaps the most useful place to begin changing a result isn't always with the result itself. Perhaps we need to understand where that result really began. Free Reflective Worksheet We've created a free reflective worksheet to accompany Episode 006 and help you bring together the ideas we've explored throughout the Foundation Series. It gives you an opportunity to pause, reflect on the connections between your Self-Talk, beliefs, attitudes, actions and results, and consider how those ideas might apply within your own life.

In our next episode, we'll be sitting down with Dr Shad Helmstetter to hear the story behind his work — what first led him to explore the conversations we have with ourselves, what he has learned through decades of research, writing and teaching, and what he believes we need to understand about Self-Talk today. Then we'll continue our journey as we move into the next series: Understanding Your Programming. Growing Plants, Growing People — the podcast where we discover that the principles which help gardens flourish are often the very same principles that help people grow. The most important conversation you'll ever have is the one you have with yourself. Make it count. #GrowingPlantsGrowingPeople #selftalk #CreatingResults #selftalkmatters
