Working Hard, Hardly Working

We’ve done rebranding (planning for 2025), we’ve done discipline (actually sticking to your routine), and so the third and final part of the new year mini series is all about getting yourself in the right mental state to be able to achieve those new shiny goals you set for yourself.I discovered Maya a few months ago, and loved her approach to mental fitness as something we actually work on & train, compared to just talking about our ‘mental health’ as something we all have. So this episode is essentially a free session with a renowned brain coach, we did guided visualisations (permission to lol at my meditation face), she taught me how to mentally rehearse like Venus Williams & also said the best advice quote I think we’ve ever had in 122 episodes, hope you love it! +Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+MAYAIG: https://www.instagram.com/maya.mental.fitness/?hl=enWebsite: https://mayaraichoora.com/Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1% by Maya Raichoora is published by Rider (Penguin Random House) on 27 March.+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction3:49: Working Hard or Hardly Working?4:48: The diagnosis that changed her life aged 1510:05: How much her healing journey was her mindset13:47: The difference between mental health & mental fitness18:56: The pillars of mental fitness20:55: Why training our brain gets harder after 2522:33: How to implement it into your life24:57: The basics of visualisation27:30: Showing the power of visualisation31:25: The difference between visualisation & overthinking24:27: The second arrow parable35:56: Controlling your emotions when you're exhausted42:27: How long does it take to build confidence44:20: How to stop falling back into your old routines46:31: How to stop using your past as validation49:02: How to communicate your growth to others55:33: The best advice she's ever been given+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

Discipline is a weird one isn't it, the discourse is so massively dominated by podcast bros telling you to dig in, and when I googled 'books on discipline', I could barely find one by a woman.But it’s something should still speak about (even if it makes us seem podcast bro), because when we learn to harness it its hugely powerful, and actually sticking to a routine is so so much more important than creating one. The fact of the matter is that discipline is what actually keeps you going towards your goals when your new year's resolutions are crumpled in the bottom of your handbag.

Today, we’re doing something we have NEVER done before on the podcast - we’re making history by having a returning guest. Back in September, I sat down with Roxie Nafousi to talk all things manifesting - I had a long episode plan, I had questions upon questions, but did we get through them? No.Anyway, that was one of our most popular episodes of all time - so I asked Roxie if she would come back to give us all the new year pep talk we need, because it’s manifesting season.You can listen to my first episode with Roxie here: https://shows.acast.com/working-hard-hardly-working/episodes/ep-104-7-steps-to-create-the-future-you-want-and-change-your+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+To hear Roxie's 7 steps first hand, Roxie's next MANIFEST: Live workshop is taking place on February 8th at London's Alexandra Palace: https://roxienafousi.com/events/manifest-live/Pre-order Roxie's new book, Confidence: 8 steps to knowing your worth, here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confidence-steps-knowing-your-worth/dp/1399734830/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PAADD5WOAROX&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f_IjCBcXwqxPLjdx2eNLlGNkn4UUO7pVoLw1BNC3T8FaplXlSiTYZnpIO6eKq2XxtqxBvWgaDcyhrD9pEjEX-VTl0OhaAc3U1v896dmyM9tg1gGtC-whFqYDXv6meL_Z.cOO0CxHjEI43WjaT3N_4wk9M-kWxjKemAiYipETHJtI&dib_tag=se&keywords=confidence+roxie+nafousi&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1735294097&sprefix=confidence+by+roxie+%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction5:18: Recap - what is manifesting?6:56: Roxie's attitude to new year8:39: Roxie's resetting process for a new year10:59: Her vision boarding hack14:10: How to know what success looks like for you17:27: Her take on the rebrand trend18:57: The steps to follow for a 2025 rebrand20:46: What to do if you keep falling off your goals28:30: Changing the people you surround yourself with35:49: The biggest lesson Roxie learnt in 202438:04: How to avoid burnout this year41:06: How to manifest love & relationships44:50: Pulling our 2025 affirmations50:55: The best way to take back control of your life+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
