5 Minutes of Authenticity With Pritha - is a safe space where I talk about various aspects that I encounter as a Life Coach who enables individuals live their most authentic life. I like to get deep into a topic, but also raise the curiosity of individuals listening in to reflect and work on their own mindsets to make their journeys more purposeful and meaningful.In the five minutes, you will find some questions some concepts, some answers, but most importantly you will find a focus on authenticity that will leave you feeling empowered and enabled. sometimes I choose to do multiple episodes getting into a topic, and other times I will pick something that is relevant or pertinent and share thoughts. I would love your feedback and your own interpretation of the concepts that I introduce in this little podcast. I view my role as a Life Coach almost like that of a tour guide. So come along on this journey with me and let's see what we find Visit https://swellcast.com/lifecoachPritha to add your episodes to this community podcast, or to start your own podcast.

"And they become the reasons where we start to feel uncertain about ourselves, our own will. We start to feel fear of feeling a loss of control, and some of the circumstances are truly outside. What if you had a child or a family member who was suicidal and the fact that you had to face that ever so often, the fear or the uncertainty to live with it is not easy. One cannot deny that. ...
"You want to start on a fitness regime where you want to get out of the house at 5:30am every morning for a run. It's good weather. You can, you know, you've decided this is one of the goals you want to do."
"So at such a situation, at such a juncture, it is important to understand the concept of the internal versus the external locus of control. If we have lived through a pandemic, we have all seen that little meme that came through all our news feeds, through some social handle or another, where it was very clearly explained what was in our control and what wasn't. When the coronavirus ...
"Something like, I am capable and deserving of my success. I bring unique value to every space I enter. I am learning I am not there yet, but I will be. These are positive, practical, not over the top affirmations that make us feel truly authentic and realistic about our accomplishments and our capabilities. Another tool is to do the stretch zone challenge that I spoke about is, how d...
"So I will leave you with some, with some thoughts here. And this is something for you to journal and think about is what does authenticity mean to you and when do you feel most yourself? How can you create more opportunities to show up as that version of yourself? Think of the times when you feel those self doubt, those things, those thoughts creeping in. Ask yourself, why is that ha...
"I've, you know, gone through that and it come out stronger on the other side. But what it does, it, it really helps you identify patterns. So that is an awareness tool. Use a journal, keep a journal by your bedside, or keep a journal by you and say the moment you have the thought, write it down. Self compassion tools. That is a big one."
"The people who are deciding this are very intelligent. They are astute. So who am I to question that judgment? Why am I doing that? I have contributed meaningfully in multiple projects. When we reframe from a place of I am not ready for this. This is something again, I speak with my daughter quite often is and something that I've experienced personally when I got into a life coaching...
"Sometimes they feel once they do that they are able to get the validation they need when they know they have done vis a vis better than someone else. So their yardstick is always outside of themselves. And that is a locus of control thing we will talk about in a different episode. And finally, of course, one of the deep seated reasons is also the cultural and family conditioning that...
"My sole mission in life is to enable my clients work and journey and think about their authentic selves and work towards getting there. Imposter syndrome can be a huge barrier and a mindset that can hold us back from living an authentic life. This was first identified by psychologist Pauline Rose Clance and Susan Ines. And technical definition, if you will, is basically imposter synd...
"So acknowledging that, knowing that okay this is a curveball but I got this going back to that compass and saying okay where do I need to pivot? What do I need to change and finally trusting the process and trusting oneself and knowing this is my path and I've got this thank you."
"So whether you are a space traveler, whether you are into science fiction, whether you're an astronaut, or whether you are just a normal mortal residing on this planet like you and I, the Earth is what binds us and brings us home in more ways than one. So Earth Day is such a beautiful day of retrospection of us looking a little bit deeper and trying to figure out what do we do for or...
"Hey, friends. In the last episode, if you recall, we talked about why is it hard being real? Why does being real feel hard? And we talked about two categories of challenges that we face. Some come from the external sources like social media, cultural expectations, and some come from deep rooted internal mindsets or internal struggles of looking or feeling inferior, unqualified impost...
"That we need to get a little bit deeper into this topic because it is something that affects all of us in various points in our life. And that is one of the reasons I've taken a little bit of a pause. My apologies for the delay of posting this one, but I've been thinking about this at length and it's truly mind boggling to me that from childhood where it is so effortless for a young ...
"And there are times when my daughter has broken down. You know, maybe she was upset about something, and she actually said this to me. She goes, mom, you're always on top of things. And I feel I fail in that aspect. And that aspect."
"So imagine if a painter was asked to be in a routine 9 to 5 job that led them to do nothing more than enter data or do something that was very mundane but very, very non creative. They obviously would not be living an authentic life. Now, why does this matter so much? Because unless we are living in alignment with these values, we will face a time and moments in our life where we wil...
"We started with the parallels of time and energy when we are focusing on something and how having both these in tandem impact our productivity. And what can we do to make this work for us in terms of the mindset we approach an issue with the next week we talked about flipping the script, kind of looking at things from the perspective of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset."
"Maybe it's a child saying thank you to saying thank you to their parent or a parent remembering to acknowledge the child's work, however small, and telling them, hey, thank you for doing this, I really appreciated you took the time, etc. All right, number four, you have somebody, and we all have such people in their lives who say that I cannot do this or I'm just never going to be ab...
"Her ability to perform is often hindered by this appearance of the cough. Now, it is a very sad truth that it does happen together. So the coincidence is sometimes pretty unfortunate. Lately I noticed she has been flipping the script on this because she will say something on the lines of, mom, I'm glad this happened because, you know, I know it will, but it happened the week before I...
"And 15 pages have gone by and I'm thinking, wait a minute, I didn't lean a single word. So what is important is to keep certain things in mind when you are thinking of this balance, set a boundary. Set clear boundaries on where you're going to spend your time and how much of your energy you're going to give. Is this conversation worth giving your time and energy to? Is this worth. Is...
"Those disciplines can be hard and if you have done that, celebrate that and Each time you do have a self a defeating thought, think about it, acknowledge it, reward yourself and say that, you know what? If I've done this once, if I've done this twice, I can do it again. Now, speaking of reward, reward yourself with not just your time, but also your energy."
