Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Castillo.

Hello my friends!

How are you guys? I'm so good. So so good.

I'm excited to talk to you guys today about productivity, because I have had the most productive year of my life this year.

I have created more content, I have created more tools, and done more coaching that I have probably combined through the rest of my life.

And there's two reasons why that happened for me. And one of them is implementing the process to get it done, which I'm teaching in scholars right now, and following it to the T,

has made a huge change in my life, understanding the concept of do goals, which I talk about in the podcast, and actually following through on that, my productivity is through the roof.

And I'll tell you what, let me just tell you a little bit about how wonderful that is to be on the receiving end of your own productivity.

It is so gratifying to have so much gratitude towards yourself for getting something done.

I know that you guys can relate to doing this in your life when you get a project done, and you're just so happy that it's done, you're so happy that you completed it, you're so glad it's turned in in any way that that is that sense of, hopefully you have a sense of gratitude towards yourself when you have completed something like that.

I think it's an important piece of doing work for the world is also having gratitude to yourself for having done it.

That sense of accomplishment, that sense of completion is I think one of the wonderful experiences of being human. I love feeling proud of myself.

I think that's the best. It's like, God you win and you got it. I'm so proud of you.

I have a couple really distinct moments of feeling proud of myself that I've talked about on the podcast.

One of which is when I set a boundary with my mom, and if you listen, it's been about two years ago now I think since I really started doing that boundary work, and I shared on the podcast.

It was so difficult for me to have that conversation and set that boundary with my mom because of my fear of abandonment and all the issues that went around that.

But I will tell you that I high-fived myself on my way out of that conversation because I approached it with so much love and so much care for myself and my mom.

I feel like since that time, my relationship with my mom is so amazing.

And genuinely so amazing. And I feel that that is a gift that I gave myself, but not just myself, but to my relationship with my mom and with my kids and with everyone in my life that experiences my relationship with my mom because it's such an important relationship in my life.

Another area where I feel super proud of myself for having done the work is in not drinking.
