I’ve been watching and listening to you for so many years working along side Dr. Phil. I bought your book last month (I never read).. and so many things I’ve been avoiding have come to the surface for me. Time and Tide wait for no man. Thank you, from my heart❤ Alicia Peabody
Everyone seems to understand many things, but there are too few people like this who can penetrate into people's hearts and help others. MIKE really has an extraordinary heart. It makes people admire from the heart. MIKE is really a messenger from God!
I love this. Openness to change and willingness those are the two that I am really going to focus on oh and focus. Well 05 actually thanks Coach Mike. I just bought your book yesterday. I watch the RU-vid video with you and Ed Myrell, and it really spoke to me. I look forward to working through the exercises in your book and applying the lessons to my life.
Hi Mike...I always like to listen to your advice..I've talked to you before...my situation is different then most. I never got addicted to drugs or alcohol, and I only have done maybe 3 drugs my whole life...with that being said..I had a father that was a compulsive gambler, always looking to strike it big with horse racing, casinos etc..and my mother passed away when I was 18 due to lung cancer.( I am 47 now) I have 2 older sisters..my older sister is 12 yrs older then me( she will be 59 next month) and she has had: in 2008 major vascular surgery do to a blood clot in her leg( she almost lost her leg from the knee down), then she was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015..she had half her lung removed..it then spread to her brain( she beat that) , she had the tumor removed, then it spread to her stomach..and right now shes in remission and in the hospital..I'm very empathic and I know and feel what she is feeling..(its been a nightmare for me) she was a smoker and a drinker for years and I kept warning her to slow down and stop..because I felt something bad was going to happen to her in the future..she always was in denial calling me a.pain in the ass, and a nagger, and thought I was being bossy or being a bitch to her...i was trying my best to make her see what she was doing to her life...she didnt listen..then my dad passed away in 2018..( he was 77) he had bladder cancer..which spread to his kidneys and eventually he had to have his kidneys removed which turned to end stage renal disease...I watched my dad abuse his pain meds..( he lived 1 hr drive from me)..and this was all going on always during the winter months and I was having major car issues...I couldnt concentrate on work..my life was and is completely upside down...now I have major depression..I miss my dad terribly and I'm so worried about my sister...I pray all the time( I'm catholic)..I beg for forgiveness and to have mercy on them..and I ask god to give me strength everyday...I feel like I'm a cushion to every one around me..but I'm lost myself...I'm a liscensed cosmetologist, and I have two 2 yrs degrees in secretarial/medical business field..and over 20 yrs experience, and because of all my stress, I cant focus on work because of my sister, and I'm a worry wart...shes basically all the family I have left, in which i do have other family but I'm not close to them...i try to meditate..and to concentrate on.being the best version of myself, but I'm so weighed down by my past and my present situation....I know this is a lot...(just an fyi...I live in upstate NY, very expensive..and not a lot of jobs) and it's not what u know here in NYS its who you know to have a good paying job with job security....I'm lost and not sure how to resolve my issues..any advice?
Hi Mike..I do all these steps already! I also use the law of attraction and manifestation...I also have a very spiritual side...I often pick up on bad energies and vibes because I'm like a sponge I soak it all in ! lol...sometimes it's a blessing and a curse because i wear my heart on my sleeve because I am empathic and sympathetic..I grew up thinking I was crazy because I felt out of my body like i dont belong? well now that I'm 47...and I had gone through the death of my mom at age 18(she passed from cancer), and the death of my dad in 2018(he passes from end stage renal disease) I realized that I have the ability to become a healer in many different ways ..I've become a rock so strong emotionally that I surprise myself! lol I grew up in a household with a gambling father, to the point where I was bounced around and moved a lot..my older sister (shes 59) helped raise me..and i seen her go through the demons of alcohol and drugs as well..i always knew and felt that it wasnt my path. My poor sister has cancer now and shes fighting for her life and I'm devastated about it because I've warned her for years too slow down with the excessive drinking and smoking..intuitively, i seen and felt it was going to catch up with her..so I'm trying to cope with what could happen to her and it gives me meltdowns at times....because I am and was the caregiver throughout my life..I could never really focus on what I wanted to achieve...I have 2, 2 year degrees in the medical field and I'm a liscensed cosmetologist..and I was also in nursing school but I didnt finish. ..however I'm ok with it...all these things made me stronger and I dont regret taking care of my family...I learned to become an excellent cook! with 2 Italian parents lol..even though it affected my world because I never married or had kids...I've grown to see the humor in everything and it taught me that laughter is the key to life and its self healing ..These days my pets are my kids....my therapy..and I'm a huge animal lover. I'm from nyc and finished school in NJ. I reside in upstate NY near the adirondacks.& .I went to college near Albany NY...right now I'm working on my creativity side with arts..I often listen and watch your videos on you tube....your so inspiring to listen too.. and I completely respect you and how you help people..❤❤...I dont do social media like Facebook or Instagram(to many bullshitters) 😉..but I am on pinterest and obviously RU-vid! My goal is to make my creativity into a reality of growing my own business..so I can travel..and I would love to come to California and meet you someday! ❤❤❤❤
In this meaningful video it talks about 5 ways how to make a difference so that “ anyone “ can help themselves to change their life’s for the better and I would like to congratulate coach Mike for doing his best to keep everyone alive that’s because mike’s background is all about BEST SELF so in that case I believe that we all can have our say because my feelings lets me pry and it supports me throughout the day so having coach Mike will help me to become a famous singer one day in my life ever since I now have Demi Lovato’s Staying strong book it also supports me day after day and I read it every day plus I sing out what the goal says for me to do on that day in the week
This is great! I’ve been following you on Instagram. I didn’t know a lot about you until on here. I’m glad you are an overcomer and doing the best you can and helping others. I need help getting over being shy. I have dystonia in my neck which it’s hard to get out much from being embarrassed from neck movements and dealing with pain also with this virus going around now. I also have a soft spoken voice when I’m around people from the dystonia. I need to do these steps.
I've been a successful writer in the past, but for the past two plus years have battled severe manic depression. I'm coming around the corner now, due to an improved medication schedule and family support, but I look at the damage done while I was sick and it's pretty overwhelming socially, economically and physically. I have learned to be patient, set small goals to boost up my confidence, and take it a day at a time. Just last week, someone reached out to me and said "I thought you'd left the area. No one's heard from you. Glad you're back." It felt good. One more thing, Coach Mike, you need a new proofreader :) A TENANT is someone who rents a property. A TENET is a principle or belief (that's the editor in me coming back to life) LOL
Hey Coach Mike! I seem to always struggle with procrastination... I know what I need to do but I do everything else around me before I pin point my focus into what actually needs to get done. I’m constantly fighting with self cause there will be moments where I have a burst of ok tomorrow is going to be different, but usually the result is the same.... I have a sudden inspiration to do what needs to get done and the fire goes out after a few mins... I really don’t know what to do and I have been fighting with this for over 5 years... I get through it but it’s like pulling teeth! Please help!!! Thank you in advance!
Willingness is sometimes a bit tough for me: "I have my ways, I've been doing ___ for years and it's fine. All I need to do is ___ and it'll be work/be better. I don't need to change everything to accomplish ____." *buzzer sound* WRONG! haha Thanks so much for this! Very motivating AND it made me want to go shoot some hoops... hearing "pivot" repeatedly, made me think about my basketball years 😊 So, you motivated me to change up some things and to get in a fun workout! *standing ovation* #CoachMikeFTW
I’m going to get more curious about the things in my life i want to change. Also focus is a big factor i know i can improve on. Thank you 🙏🏻 just found you and purchased your book. Looking forward to learning from you Mike.
