“How to get out of your comfort zone” podcast

September 26, 2011 by Sonia Marsh

 

Last week I asked Robert MacPhee all the questions I received from you on my blog and via e-mail. Here in my very first podcast interview (44 minutes long) and your chance to listen to Robert’s answers. I have outlined the order in which I asked the questions below. Please contact Robert directly if you wish to purchase his book, Manifesting for Non-Gurus: How to Quickly & Easily Attract Lasting Results, and the companion journal. Robert is very helpful, if you have other questions for him. (Please click link below to listen to podcast.)

PODCAST WITH ROBERT MACPHEE 9-22-11

  • Not getting the results I want: Why? Q: Over the years I have been told that to manifest something one has to be pure of heart as well as intentioned, however, I have noticed that I have had clear intentions which have manifested nothing or not what I desired, and other times with unclear intentions manifest things better than expected. What is going on there?
  • Procrastination and self-sabotage. Q: My comfort zone is impeding me from going ahead with a lot of seemingly easy things that would not stop someone like you. By now, after 18 years and 4 finished books, I should have published much more than I have yet I constantly self-sabotage my chances. Lots of people have encouraged me, but I procrastinate, make excuses to myself and others, and put up obstacles in my own path. It’s as if I’m expecting, by some stroke of fortune, that this will all just happen. My question might be: Why do I constantly self-sabotage myself from making any real effort to be published?
  •  How not to fall back into old habits and choices. Q: I’m in the process of recreating a new life for myself after a divorce and want to know how I can avoid falling into the trap of doing things that are familiar and comfortable that will take me back to my old life. For example, I’m dating a guy that has the same 4-5 characteristics of my ex-husband and I don’t want to go there again.
  • Divorce, Loss of Spouse, Feeling stuck. Q: My friend Tina lost her husband three years ago. They lived in Panama and she was forced to come back to the U.S. to live with her dad in Colorado for financial reasons. She’s in her 50’s and her dad wants her to move out by December and get a job.
  • Travel and your comfort zone. Q: What effect do you think travel has on a person to get out of their comfort zone and change?
  • Fear and how to overcome it. Q: As I have gotten older I have developed an intense fear that sometimes cripples me. Some days are ok and some days I can’t do anything. It comes over me like a panic attack. I know this fear is keeping me from doing things. For example, I would love to teach at a college but I am afraid to stand up in front of a group. How do I stop this “fear”? I have become fearful of the fear! I know it’s irrational and silly but I can’t shake it. I have even thought of acupuncture or hypnosis. It is stopping me from being gutsy.

 I hope your questions were answered. Please share if you have a friend who might be going through a similar problem and needs to get out of their “comfort zone.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do you need help? Ask expert Robert MacPhee

July 28, 2011 by Sonia Marsh

Are there times when you’d like to ask for help? Do you like hearing how others have succeeded at something you’d like to try yourself? How about specific steps you need to take to get out of your comfort zone?

There are many ways to learn, and interviewing the experts is one way. I’d like to offer a new approach to Gutsy Living as I start interviewing Gutsy people who can help answer our questions and steer us with their advice and life stories.

Here’s your chance to ask Robert MacPhee your questions before I interview him on August 24th, 2011.

Please watch the video which explains  more about my first guest, Robert MacPhee, the author of Manifesting For Non- Gurus.  Robert has worked closely with Jack Canfield, the famous co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series,  for the past 10 years, and is now the Director of Jack’s year long Platinum Inner Circle and Train the Trainer programs.

 

Robert will focus on comfort zones. Here’s what he said.

“Those who are willing to get out of their comfort zones are gutsy, willing to take risks and stretch themselves.  We can talk about what comfort zones are, why we get stuck in them and how to bust out of them…”

Here’s your opportunity to ask Robert MacPhee, (Jack Canfield’s master trainer) any question specific to your situation or someone you want to help.

You can either ask in the comment section below or if you prefer to e-mail your question directly to me at: sonia@soniamarsh.com.

Please share this wonderful opportunity with friends or relatives who wish to ask Robert MacPhee a question, including his five step process which he explains in Manifesting for Non-Gurus.

This is going to be exciting! I shall have a podcast ready with your questions and his answers on Monday, August 29th, the day before my birthday. (Just had to throw that one in there.)
