A Mental Shift: The Shortcut to Self-Growth
Sometimes we believe the only way out of struggle is through complex tools or long processes. But what if the real shortcut is much simpler?
In the latest episode of Unbox The Podcast, I explore why a mental shift is the true doorway to growth and transformation. For over 20 years of podcasting, and more than three decades of mentoring, I have seen one thing remain constant: self-awareness is what moves us forward.
The power of perspective
I share a story from my college days when I discovered the effect of shifting perspective. By imagining myself in a different time zone, I tricked my brain into believing I had more hours in the day. The stress dissolved, my body relaxed, and I finished the work. That simple awareness showed me that when the mind shifts, everything else follows.
Awareness is the shortcut
In this episode, I explain why techniques and quick fixes cannot replace awareness. The brain is plastic—it can rewire itself in a split second. When you notice what has changed within you, perspective shifts instantly. That moment connects you to new information and possibilities, as if you’ve received an upgrade.
Cycles and legacy
I also reflect on my own journey: 33 years of work, 20 years of podcasting, and turning 63 this year. These numbers mark both an ending and a beginning, reminding me to focus on creating long-term assets and a legacy that will remain useful for you whenever you need it.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will help you ask: what lane am I really in? Am I extending an old story, or standing in a new one without realising it? The takeaway is simple but powerful: become aware, and the shift happens.
