Show Notes:

  • Sherry is a high performance coach.
  • She has been studying thinking since she was 11 years old.
  • She has a concept called Turnaround Thinking™.
    • Her thinking is how she got out of struggles in life.
    • It is about creating a mental reset button.
    • Stop and realize you are feeling a certain way and take a step back and think about it.
  • To get the mental reset into your life you need to notice you don’t want to feel the way you do after a certain situation.
  • Steps to have Turnaround Thinking™ in your life. 
    • You have to be able to catch when you are going into a negative mindset.
    • Snap to the future and identify what you want to be happening instead.
    • Learn from what happens so it doesn’t keep happening,
    • Learn from every interaction.
    • Put new actions into place.
  • Email is the place to take care of logistics but relationships have to take place voice to voice (over the phone) or bellybutton to bellybutton (in person).
  • Step back after an interaction and think about your feelings and ask:
    •  What is the future going to bring?
    • How can I interject to make it a better interaction in the future?
  • Learn to become aware of your thinking.
  • Responsibility is the ability to respond and the ability to create something new.
  • “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedom—-to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” – Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
  • Sherry loves to draw words.
    • It is a chance to step back and reflect on that given word.
    • This is a way to also catch what you are thinking
    • Think about that word and ask “What can I share with others to be able to do that?”
  • We have to have the willingness to catch and change our thinking
  • “Become our own instrument.”-Quote from graduate school
  • How to implement Turnaround Thinking™:
    • Journaling-The Artist’s Way Starter Kit
    • Meditation
    • Go for a walk and take a notepad
    • Take a couple of minutes to write down your thoughts
    • Make it an intention to reset the button and bring a new perspective
  • The difference it makes:
    • People have impacted their lives.
    • Action follows thinking.
    • Living a purposeful life.
