If you’ve ever found yourself feeling stuck despite doing all the “right” things in your music career or life, this discussion is for you.

She walks listeners through identifying these default behaviors and replacing them with a commitment that aligns with their true values and goals.

Key Takeaways:

• Identifying Your Default: Cheryl guides you through exercises to identify the “tantrum statement” that reveals your default behavior.
• Crafting Your Commitment: Learn how to create a commitment statement that reflects your true values and can serve as a compass for decision-making.
• Real-Life Application: Cheryl shares a personal story about how she applied this concept during a challenging situation, highlighting the importance of shifting from default to commitment in real time.

1. Identify Your Default: Reflect on past situations that triggered frustration or anxiety and identify your knee-jerk response.
2. Craft Your Commitment: Use the exercises in this episode to create a simple statement that encapsulates your core values and mission.
3. Apply It: Start applying your commitment in your daily life, especially in moments where your default behavior would typically take over.
