Welcome to a spooktacular pre-Halloween edition of Pivot with Passion! Today we're pulling back the curtain into the tricks our minds play on us and how they can halt our personal growth, much like an unwelcome Halloween prank.
We'll explore three common mental tricks—believing we don't have time, thinking everything must be perfect, and catastrophizing situations—and learn how to flip the script to fill our metaphorical bags with achievements and joy. Plus, we'll sip on a "clarity cocktail" of wisdom from Louisa May Alcott and discuss how fear and excitement are two sides of the same coin.
So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's uncover how to turn mental tricks into treats that propel us toward a phenomenal life.

Today we're diving deep into the concept of illusions and how they shape our lives. Whether they deter us or drive us forward, illusions play a significant role in our mindset and actions.
Inspired by a recent trip to the Museum of Illusion in Cleveland, I'll be unpacking how our minds often create barriers that aren't real and, more importantly, how we can flip these illusions to fuel our visions for a phenomenal life. With a handy model I've developed called PIVOT, you'll learn how to turn negative thoughts into positive, actionable steps.
Go grab your favorite beverage, and let's get ready to shake things up—because you're just one choice away from changing your reality. Join me as we explore the power of illusions and how to pivot with passion.

PIVOT Model:
P = Phrase (must be stated in fact form)
I = I believe...(what do you believe about your phrase?) (<<THIS step is where you can create a positive illusion to propel you forward!)
V = Vent (what emotions come up for you when you hear your "I believe" statement?)
O = Observe (what might others observe you doing in response to your P, I, and V phrases?)
T = The End (what is the ultimate outcome of you believing everything stated in P, I, V, & O?)
