................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon welcome to episode 254 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. If you hear some noise in the background, it is because I am recording this episode from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. I apologise in advance. Our thoughts are powerful. Our words carry positive or negative energy and can be encouraging or hurtful. The great industrialist, Andrew Carnegie, shared the concept of organised thinking in an interview with Napoleon Hill on success and personal mastery. He said: “Success is always the result of an ordered life. An ordered life comes through organised thinking and carefully controlled habits. This definition of success is worth going through in detail. More specifically, I will cover three ideas that lead to a successful life, according to Andrew Carnegie. Let us look at the first idea. Success is always the result of an ordered life. The success principle of order meets that of the spiritual teachers who say that clarity starts with an orderly mind. What comes to your mind when you think of an ordered life? I share with my students the success principle of clearing up your incompletes. As a result of clearing up your incompletes, you create order since you complete what you believe matters and needs completion on the one hand and let go of anything outstanding you have not completed and never will. This process is a great way to create order in your mind and life. It also clears some space for something new. The second great idea that stands out in Andrew Carnegie’s definition of success is that of self-discipline. It takes self-discipline to create an orderly life and controlled habits. It is challenging to create an orderly life and controllable habits without self-discipline. Self-discipline is a level of awareness whereby you give yourself a command and follow it. Self-discipline creates order. I hope you can see the theme here in this episode as we go through Andrew Carnegie’s definition of success. Now let us go through the third idea, which is the second sentence: “An ordered life comes through organised thinking and carefully controlled habits.” This definition suggests that an ordered life results from organised thinking and controllable habits. You can distinguish two keywords: thinking and habits. There are also two attributes organised and controllable. To experience success, you need both organised thinking habits and controllable habits. I believe that a controllable habit is one that you do systematically and consistently. In addition, it helps you get great results. Andrew Carnegie’s definition of success is life-changing and worth implementing if you want order and life success. Taking the time to think in an organised way leads to an ordered life and success. To put this in the context of a more balanced and harmonious life, how could you take some time to develop organised thinking habits? Your organised thinking habits must lead to great results and be something you do consistently for even greater results. Let me give you an example: how do you plan your week? Do you take time on Sundays, for example, to plan a beautiful week ahead? This organised thinking habit is a great way to look forward to the week with clarity. Since organised thinking goes hand in hand with organised planning you will surely experience higher levels of efficiency and productivity and more balanced and harmonious life. It is clear from Andrew Carnegie’s definition of success that developing organised thinking habits would help you move from chaos to clarity in an organised way. If you struggle with routine and procrastination, how could you integrate developing organised thinking habits into your life, To put the idea of organised thinking habits into practice, where in your life do you need to i...

................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. "Be the change you want to see in the world." As a 'Change Catalyst,' I love this quote from Mahatma Gandhi. Hi, I am Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 252 of The Everyday Life balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. Is there anyone in your life you wish you could change? Wendy Price, the Amazon international bestseller I interviewed in May this year, posted a quote from Lori Deschene, which is the following: "No one changes Unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion or rough love. There’s only one thing that makes someone change: their own realisation that they need to do it. And there’s only one time it will happen: when they decide they’re ready." It is clear that each individual has free will. Free will means that change becomes possible only when you decide to change. No matter how hard someone may try to change you, change is only possible ...
................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. In this fast-paced world, especially in big cities like London, where I live, it is easy to get caught up in the rat race. I see the rat race as running against time, competing and packing as many things as possible in a day as if your life depended on it. That is not a long-term solution for health and wellness. Hi, I'm Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 251 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. Although the rat race may sound exciting and give you an adrenal rush, there is a problem with it, however. You might be pushing but not seeing things clearly. The major problem I see is that it leads to exhaustion. You know you are exhausted when you have a lasting sense of fatigue and lassitude. For example, you have trouble sleeping and have difficulty focusing on anything for long periods. Another example that might lead to exhaustion is keeping the family together when one partner i...
................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Let me share a short story that illustrates the topic of this episode, mindfulness. Hi, I am Pascale Gibon welcome to episode 250 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. I was on my way to my local tube station and stood at the traffic lights when I felt like someone was invading my space. In fact, this person had luggage, was in a hurry and thought that squeezing in would get them to the station faster. The problem was that there was not much space at the traffic light to manoeuvre in, as you can imagine, and she acted as if she did not see me. I am sensitive to energy, and this encounter really felt like someone had invaded my space and pushed me aside. I moved to the side a little bit to create space between us. I thought she would look towards me to notice what had just happened or apologise, but she seemed unaware. I am not judging because this incident did not ruin my day. I...

................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Hi, I am Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 248 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. I had an out of the blue, challenging start to the year. I felt stuck in my business. Let me share what it looked like: I doubted whether I was on the right path I did not seem to be motivated by what I was focusing on I questioned my life purpose You probably feel the same about your work or a particular area of your life. As a result, you feel frustrated, confused and disheartened. However, it does not have to be that way. I must share that the unexpected sense of feeling lost, beginning of the year, was life-changing. I know, difficult to believe but true. What looked like a setback has been an opportunity. This could be true for you too. This so-called setback has allowed me to go back to the drawing board to get my creativity going. And it worked. As a creative person, I have never been so ...
................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Today is another invitation for growth, like every week on this podcast. I commend you for committing to your personal growth and a happy, healthy, wealthy and beautiful life. Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 247 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. Every single week I invite you to commit to personal development and success. I base my life philosophy on the following foundation and life perspective: Each day is a new day. And you create your reality every day. This life perspective enables you to take control of your power of co-creation. Do you love the idea of designing your day the way you want? If you do, what is your morning routine? Have you observed your thoughts? What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you wake up? Everyday life balance suggests that your day starts and unfolds according to your state of mind or what you pay attention to. For e...
................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Are you a creature of habits? When we hear this question, we think automatically of unhealthy habits. The more I deepen my study of personal achievement and success, the more I realise that installing healthy habits in your everyday life is essential to improve your life. So I ought to rephrase my question: are you a creature of healthy habits? Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. A warm welcome to episode 246 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. To frame the definition of healthy habits, I would say that they are the things you do on a daily basis that contribute to the enhancement of your well-being, joie de vivre, your happiness and that of others. Regrettably, unhealthy or bad habits are when you are absorbed in self-pity, victimhood and do not know how to get out of that cycle. Your negative thought process and pessimism control you instead of the other way round. You feel empowered wh...
................................. FULL TRANSCRIPT ................................. Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 245 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in. As a change catalyst, I love helping others create positive change in their lives simply because I want them to be happy. Many of us right now are in a life transition or at crosswords to enter a new life cycle. In fact, during the pandemic, we had no choice but to pivot and move on. The positive aspect of the lockdown was that it brought us closer to the people we love as we spent valuable time with them. It has allowed us to think deeply about what really matters; cultivating loving relationships, care and compassion. Thank God it's over! After such an experience, I do not believe we can return to the way things were because something has changed. We have changed. The main thing that has changed is our life perspective. Some people changed careers, like the TV presenter Andrea McLean, who gave...
