In this week’s episode. Marisa and David discuss David’s weekly post titled “But It Was Just a Thought!”
In this week’s blog post, David shared his recent struggles with negativity. While reflecting on his negative mindset he stumbled on a quote he recorded years earlier “ There is no such thing as a thought that doesn't have consequences.” Each and every one of his negative thoughts took him further down the slippery slope. David also learned that negative emotions are more powerful than positive emotions so we need a 3:1 ratio of positive to negative just to stay in a neutral mood. Join Marisa and David as they look more closely at ways to build more positivity in our day.

In this week’s episode. Marisa and David discuss David’s weekly post titled “What’s Your Capacity?”
In this week’s post, David shared this quote from Peanuts creator Charles Schultz “Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.” There are so many areas in our life where we view our capacity as very limited. In the post David shared an example of how we can increase our Energy capacity. He also shared the following equation from one of John Maxwell’s newer books, No Limits AWARENESS + ABILITY + CHOICES = CAPACITY. Unfortunately most of us think the equation is ABILITY=CAPACITY. In this podcast, Marisa and David take a closer look at our Thinking and Creativity capacity.
Are you ready to increase your capacity?
