JB Glossinger [00:00:35]:
You know, that's what it's about. It's about positive energy coaching a difference out there and everybody just, you know, working together to make the world a little bit better place. And we are doing that together. Excited as we're planning Q1. Can you believe it? The Q1 is coming to an end. That means we're completing our due month and moving into April, which is another due month. We should be on plan, on task right now, and then we'll be coming into a check here real soon. This week, we've got a lot going on.
JB Glossinger [00:01:05]:
We're gonna talk about the topic of addiction recovery, but not so much from a substance abuse standpoint, but more from an habitual change. And I'll get into that in a minute. I think you're gonna enjoy this week. A couple of things going on. We have a meetup this Thursday, March 28, 5 PM Eastern Standard Time in the meetup area. Go in the, in in your community, and you could come join us. We're gonna be talking about emotional intelligence. Obviously, that's been our book this month, Professional Intelligence Habits, and we're gonna discuss that a little bit as a group, and we always have fun, in those.
JB Glossinger [00:01:37]:
So mark the calendar for Thursday, March 28, 5 PM Eastern Standard Time in your community in the meetup area. A couple other things going on. Final Financial Friday. Hey. It's a wrap. That's this Friday. For those of you doing the ILD Financial program, working on your finances a little bit, Friday this Friday is a good one to organize your spreadsheet, get it ready for next month. I know there's a lot that goes on on our programs.
JB Glossinger [00:02:03]:
If you're brand new, you don't have to do all this. We've had people with this 19 years, people doing all these different systems. That's why I'm giving you the reminders. I get it. If you've been here a month, 2 months, a lot of this is overwhelming. You don't have to do all this. We'll catch up at ILD in June this summer, be going over some of the ideas and concepts. You'll understand more about that, or you can go in your library and do some of the courses.
JB Glossinger [00:02:25]:
But just stick with the basics. Don't get overwhelmed when I tell you all this. And the basics are to come here, take time for self care when you start your morning. Right? Second thing is to listen to the Coaching Cash. Show up. If you show up here, that's the thing. Plan your day with the 7 p's. And what are those? Have the right perspective.
JB Glossinger [00:02:41]:
Set the right priorities. Focus on improved performance. Always have patience. Keep great posture. Stay present, and persist. Okay? And then you wanna organize your day with the planner. Those are the basics. You wanna do some add ons, you can send it into the companion system, which is a coaching system that'll help you.
JB Glossinger [00:02:58]:
Also, stop by the community for accountability questions and support. Those are the basics. Okay? Advanced stuff as you're working. You know, I've been I've been adding new content to the Get It Done Now system as organizations are asking us to bring us to. So I've been writing some new books, the quiz, and the new book that goes along with the quiz, and also the new book on mission, mission driven are both in your library under the get it done now version 1.0 Motivation. That's a whole new area for us. Again, please don't overwhelm get overwhelmed. This just takes it deeper for those of you that really wanna go deeper with us.
JB Glossinger [00:03:33]:
And, of course, the belts now have certificates. John Cunningham, who is a black belt in our system, did a great job of doing a video on how to put your black belt or whatever belt you are, blue belt, yellow belt, if you want to certificate on LinkedIn. So we got some great things going on there. Content wise, excited. Like I said, we're talking about addiction and recovery. For those of you that are in the Christian Motivation or religion, it is Easter week, which really means rebirth, but there's a lot going on along with that. So addition to recovery, we're gonna talk about habits and changing and changes changes along the way. But we're also gonna talk a little bit about Easter this week, rebirth.
JB Glossinger [00:04:09]:
It's the right of spring, the vernal equinox, and the return of light. Some really cool ideas or concepts along with kind of moving forward and changing habits that we're gonna get into, this week. Tomorrow, of course, is we're ending our book study. It'd be our last, chapter, our discussion on emotional intelligent habits. We'll be concluding that book. Wednesday, we're gonna talk about the positive of a change and why sometimes you need to make those tough choices because you really when you can make the changes in your life, there are some positives that come from that. We don't want change for the sake of change, But, obviously, you're here at Planning Coach. It's about evolution.
JB Glossinger [00:04:46]:
It's about getting better, and that's going to be a good day. Thursday, another good one. We've got an Ask JB this week, and we're gonna talk about, dealing with daily anxiety. Been getting some emails on that where some people are dealing with some anxiety, and I wanna discuss some tips and ideas on overcoming stress and how to get through those, you know, those anxious moments throughout the day. Friday, we can talk about, abundance and prosperity. Again, it's the final Financial Friday. Important day to kinda get organized going into our next month of April. We're also gonna talk about why the focus on health can change everything.
JB Glossinger [00:05:19]:
And, of course, again, kinda talking about this habitual addiction recovery cycle and also habits and how really getting a a laser focus on health can make a big difference. A big one on Friday. And it also directly correlates to financial wealth, being able to manifest. I got some great emails on doing more on manifestation. You know, last couple weeks, we had some really cool tips. More on that coming. Saturday, of course, doctor Paul has been giving us some great ideas and thoughts in the health world, which is awesome. And then Sunday, we come back to Easter.
JB Glossinger [00:05:48]:
We're gonna talk a little bit about the meaning of Easter. And, again, not so much about the religious holiday. Talk a little bit about that. But the idea of the night the life of spring, the Vernal Equinox, the return of light, kind of the rebirth that we have as we close out the month, Sunday, and move into April, our Q2, which gives us an opportunity to really go after it, and and and make the changes that we need to make as we go on. Of course, on Sunday, remember, we have our, weekend reviews that you can do and also our SOPs and cleanup for those of you doing second brain and some of those deeper topics. So as always, a lot going on. Excited that we have it. You know, excited that things are going on.
JB Glossinger [00:06:27]:
It is a due month. It means you should just be working your planning, should be working along with your plan. Today's topic, again, like I said, is based on addiction and recovery. And really what I wanna talk about is changing habits. Changing habits are one of the things that we can do in order to, you know, really make a difference in our life. We are creatures of habit, and when I talk about addiction and recovery, yeah, there are substance abuses, and there are people that do get addicted to things. We're not gonna get into that as we're not therapists, right, and that's not something we do, but we do have great therapists that show up and listen to morning coach. We got some really great ones here.
JB Glossinger [00:07:06]:
But at the end of the day, addiction is a deeper form of a habitual pattern that is created. Right? And so when we talk about addiction recovery, basically, it's about making a change and recovering from an addiction and and shifting that. Now, again, like, you know, when we talk about addiction recovery, a lot of times those terms bring up drug addiction, alcohol abuse. That's the first things we think about. But that's not what I want you to be thinking about. I want you to be thinking about the habits that you have that have been become addictions, and then what can we make to change in order for you to live your best life. Now there's great resources out there like the book Atomic Habits. There's some great resources on habits, But when I hit some things today to just get you kind of thinking a little bit different so that you can make the changes that you need to make.
JB Glossinger [00:07:49]:
So the first thing we wanna do is we wanna look for patterns, patterns of destructive behavior or patterns of negative behavior that don't serve you. For me, I've mentioned it before that my pattern of destructive behavior is maybe if I drink on the weekend. If I drink on the weekend and I overdo it, it it bleeds into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. And a lot of times, it isn't just the alcohol or the the health aspect because I'm pretty healthy, and I can recover pretty good. But the mental depression and anxiety come with design not a healthy happy habit for me. Now you could say that's an addiction or recovery issue because we just meant it. But for me, I don't believe it's a problem issue. It's just a habitual thing that, that, hey.
JB Glossinger [00:08:25]:
Everybody gets together, has a few drinks, and then we overdrink. And then you feel it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then you feel great. And then that pattern could start again. That's a pattern. Right? So kind of weekend drinking would would be a pattern that I would look at. Some of the other patterns that I would say, which is tough for me is sleep. So making sure my sleep is good. So one of the things that will happen if I do that, it'll it's life a keystone habit.
JB Glossinger [00:08:49]:
It'll affect another part of my life where now my sleep patterns are off and I'm not getting up and working out and doing the proper things, doing my morning routine. Now, I don't wanna get OCD with anything. We have people that here that do things that are just unbelievable. They've got everything, you know, lined up. They've got check boxes. They've got SOPs. Other people, they just kinda wake up and do their thing. There is no right or wrong in your planning and structuring.
JB Glossinger [00:09:12]:
What's right or wrong is you living your best life, And, really, there's no judgment there. It's just you looking at your life and looking for the patterns and going, these are the things that I wanna change to be able to live my best life. Right? So that's what we're looking for. We're looking for patterns, things that are consistently maybe it's an argument. Maybe, you know, you've heard of people saying, gosh. I end up with the same type of guy. Every time I break up, I end up with the same type of guy. Well, that's a pattern.
JB Glossinger [00:09:35]:
Why is that occurring? Again, awareness, emotional intelligence, the things that we're talking about is stepping back and looking and going, okay. What is really going on in my life? That's what we're talking about here. So we're looking for patterns that aren't serving us, looking for things that create create anger, frustration, and things that we need to change. You know, one of the things I always said, if I'm complaining a lot life I'm complaining a lot about something, I need to make the change. And that's what we're looking for. That means there's something going on in my life that I'm complaining about. So how do I make that change? What do we need to do? Well, life step, okay, and we learned this from Motivation and Recovery, right, is we learned that, okay, here's what's going on in my life. Let's make the change.
JB Glossinger [00:10:14]:
So what do we gotta do? We gotta take it day by day. So the key thing is anytime you're gonna make a change is, like, I can do anything today, and that's the focus. So if we look at, like, drinking, for example, is a great example of this. It's, like, I don't wanna let's say alcohol, right, not just planning, period. Sometimes you say that. Well, what about drinking water? Nope. Alcohol, let's say alcohol, right? So if I don't wanna drink alcohol, I just don't drink today. And that's how you can keep the the days going.
JB Glossinger [00:10:37]:
Sometimes the stress and anxiety comes from trying to do it too far in advance. So people that I know that when some people here at Planning Coach and others that I have worked with in the past, that's what one of the key things is to take it day by day. So, really, when we wanna look at what's going on in our life is where the change could occur is in this moment. So it's like, what can I do today? We'll have the proper perspective and set the right priorities. Now we could start making the change. And there's a there's a a model that is understood in Motivation recovery, and, again, we're using this more for habits, is this idea of understanding where you're at. K? And there's, like, 4 steps in this change scenario. So we start to look at this pre Motivation stage where you're really not ready to make the change.
JB Glossinger [00:11:20]:
Maybe you wanna get up at 5:30 and start working out. So you're starting precontemplation. You're starting to think about it, but you're really not ready to make the change. Maybe financially, you wanna do some things. Maybe in your relationship, you wanna do some. Maybe you wanna lose a little weight. Could be a 1000000 different things. Right? Whatever you wanna do, you're starting to think about it.
JB Glossinger [00:11:37]:
It's hitting your brain. That's the pattern search. That's what we're talking about. That's step 1. Then step 2 becomes contemplation. Now you're getting ready. How do I make the change that I need to make? What do I need to do? What do I need to do to really make the change? Maybe it's get up early in the planning, maybe it's eat different. You know, I got a little bit of a belly, and obviously at my age, gonna be 55 this year, one one of the things that you have to do is it's all diet.
JB Glossinger [00:12:02]:
Right? So if I wanna lose that little bit of a gut there, I gotta, you know, I gotta hone the diet in. So if I look at this process, it's like, man, you know, I'm not really ready to give up pizza on Friday night. I'm I'm I'm thinking about it, but now I'm prepping for it. It's like, okay. Let's make the change. Let's go let's make health a priority. We're gonna talk about this Friday, and let's get after it. So that's step 3.
JB Glossinger [00:12:24]:
Then once you get there, you've you've you've thought about it, you've been thinking, you're contemplating about it, then you prep for it, and then it's life, doom. It's time to make the action. So then it's about action and maintenance. That's step 4. And that's the model. Right? That's kind of moving from addiction to recovery into habitual change. So it's like I'm thinking about it. Man, I would really like to get a little bit of this gut gone.
JB Glossinger [00:12:46]:
Right? Man, I think I could do it. I think I could I could put some game plans together, start reading some diets, start looking at some ideas. And that's life, okay. Now I'm ready. Let's get to work. And then it's starting to take action. That's the way we make change. And then going back to what I told you is start just do it day by day.
JB Glossinger [00:13:03]:
So I know I can eat healthy today. I know I can eat a lot of protein, less carbs, and no sugar today. Now maybe not tomorrow, but I don't have to take tomorrow on. You see how we do this? So once we do that, then the next step is to get support from the right people. One of the reasons I put Morning Coach together is because I want to hang around cool people that are doing cool things. And if you go up in that community, you'll see people doing cool things, putting their wins up, doing different things. Again, you don't have to do this, but but there are people that do it. And I would suggest you do it.
JB Glossinger [00:13:34]:
If you do something great, put it up there because it shows other people they can do it. A lot of people say, I don't wanna brag. It's not about bragging. It's about building and and helping other people build their belief. A lot of times, we have to build other people's borrow other people's beliefs. That's why I love masterminding so much. Sometimes you gotta see somebody else doing it so you can say, wow, if they can do it, I can do it. It's one of the best things that ever happened to me was when I go to my masterminds and I go and I talk to people.
JB Glossinger [00:13:59]:
I'm like, gosh. That person's doing that. I can do that. Right? So you get to support. You get to believe. At the end of the day, that's what we're doing as you make the change. Because we've gotta be cautious of falling back. We gotta be cautious of falling back to the old habitual patterns, and that's what a lot of people do.
JB Glossinger [00:14:14]:
That's why in addiction and recovery, a lot of times they'll say you have to find friends. You have to find new friends. You gotta do new things because you gotta get away from those old patterns. And that's really what we're talking about. We're talking about changing patterns so that you can be your best self. And then you just keep improving. I mean, you're here at planning coach, so you are in the right place. This is a place of evolution, not only for yourself, but us.
JB Glossinger [00:14:36]:
We're constantly evolving the system. It's that annual system. This isn't something you do for a day. It isn't something you do for 2 days. It's something you do over time. It is a complete coaching system, and you're not gonna find it for what we do it at. Right? So most people are gonna hire a coaching can be 1,000 of dollars. We're here every day.
JB Glossinger [00:14:53]:
And the reason we do that is so that you can work on yourself and evolve. But the here's the key. You gotta stick with it. You gotta stick with it. If you give up after a month or 2 months, oh, there's so much going on here. Well, there's a reason there's so much going on here because life is very complicated. And I'm gonna bring you a 1000000 things. I'm gonna continue to.
JB Glossinger [00:15:11]:
Doesn't mean you have to do them, but at some point, it'll be here for you. It'll be in your toolbox. As long as you stick with the basics, which are taking care for self care, and that's really what today's about, having some perspective when you wake up in the morning and set some priorities, listening to this, getting your morning started with the right right energy, looking at your planner, whatever that is, could be paper and pencil to your Markle 2, the iPad, writing down some things and working that, you will get there. And then slowly but surely, you know, incorporate other things life our book study. Roxanne threw me off one day because I said, what is the most important thing you're getting out of morning coach? She said the book studies. I absolutely love the book studies. Give me a different view on everything. Knock me knock me off.
JB Glossinger [00:15:51]:
Some people say it's a daily coach cast. You know? I was talking to Greg the other day. He said, man, you know, I've been in your masterminds and everything, but that daily coach cast keeps me going. So for everybody, it's something a little bit different, but that's why we have it here. And don't get overwhelmed. Just pick what works for you and stick with it. And, eventually, you're gonna evolve, and things are gonna start happen happening for you. Just realize it's working in the background.
JB Glossinger [00:16:12]:
It's constantly working, and we're constantly working to make things better and keep the energy going. So let's get out there and have a super start of the week. Start by thinking about the changes that you wanna make and get in that precontemplation Motivation stage of getting ready to make the change. And it's like, what do you really wanna change, and how can we make the difference? And we're gonna support you in whatever that is. You should be working your plan anyways now. We're gonna come into a check after April. But, hey, if you got something you wanna change, like for me, my health getting a little bit better with that belly and stuff, then you could add a little bit. It's okay.
JB Glossinger [00:16:46]:
That's what we do. We're constantly moving. But remember, the whole secret is you can do anything day by day. That's the focus. Okay. I love you. Get out there. Have a great one.
JB Glossinger [00:16:55]:
Let's put some energy out there, and I'll be back tomorrow right here at morningcoach.com.
