How to Become Limitless with Jim Kwik

Hello our beautiful friends! We are so excited and grateful to welcome back Jim Kwik, our dear friend, incredible human being, inspirational author and brain coach. A lot of people are confused right now, and we couldn’t imagine any better opportunity to have Jim on our podcast and explain to us what we can do to help our brain cope with the stress, doubts and uncertainty.

Today’s conversation isn’t about how we can become perfect — it’s about how we can progress beyond what we believe is possible, and how we can find the silver lining and meaning in situations like these.

Jim starts our conversation with the great question: how do we unlock our greatness and limitless power in challenging times like these, when we are actually dealing with a lot of limitations and fears?

At some point, Jim explains, we are going through metamorphoses and we feel like we are in the cocoon, physically distancing ourselves from everybody and staying alone with our thoughts, doubts and fears.

What we need to do right now is to make sure we do everything we can to come out fresh, strong, resilient, and wiser butterflies. We can’t always control what’s happening outside us, but we can control what’s happening inside our cocoon.

“It’s the struggle of coming out from a cocoon that gives a butterfly its strength. The beauty of the butterfly is that its growth happens in the cocoon.” -- Jim Kwik

And here are 5 things we can do immediately while we are staying at home that will help us come out of our cocoon as limitless butterflies. Jim calls them 5 C’s:

Self-reflect and have clarity

Meditate and think upon what is most important for us in this life, in our relationships, family, our careers. When we start asking ourselves these questions, our actions start to align with our values.

Take care of yourself

And not only exercise and eat food that is healthy for our brain, but also keep up our mental hygiene. We have to focus on what we are grateful for, on the opportunities we can create for ourselves, on the possibilities that are out there waiting for us. And part of the self care is to fall in love with the person we see in the mirror.

Contribute

Now is the time when we can not only contribute our money, but also our time and our talent. Think of how we can uniquely add value and support. We all need someone to support us, to encourage us and to cheer us. And we can be that someone for somebody.

Be creative

We always want more time, and now we’ve got our wish come true. This is the time when we should write, do poetry, paint, make videos, do our art, blog, and create whatever we’ve been wanting to create - this is a wonderful time!

Think of your capabilities

What skill do you want to learn? You can learn everything online -- a new language, how to dance, how to do pilates… The same way we have to-do lists, we can have to-learn lists. We can expand our mindset and capabilities to be able to meet our destiny.

Being a coach, Jim never tells what one should do - he encourages everyone to find their own way. And this is the key to the 5 C’s: find your own way of self-care; find your way of finding clarity by asking the deep questions; find the way to uniquely contribute to the world; find the way to be creative in whatever form it comes; find what you want to learn. Another key is to take small simple steps and make wise choices that reflect who you truly are.

“Life is the C between the B and the D, where B stands for Birth, D stands for Death, and C stands for Choice.” - Jim Kwik

Life is a choice, and it comes down to a series of decisions. Jim Kwik is sure that difficult times can define us, diminish us, or they can develop us. Ultimately, only we decide how to live our life.
