The Positive Mindset Podcast

If you keep asking yourself what you should do next, this episode is an invitation to ask a better question: who are you being? This was a special Saturday live, less structured than usual, where Henry works through a thought in real time — that doing can feel powerful, but if getting the thing means you keep changing who you are, your being has become negotiable.
He talks about why we get so lost in the things that expire, why love without a choice isn’t love, and why “I am” is stronger than a to-do list. You’ll hear the I am practice he has used for years in coaching, and the one he is standing on now: I am pursuing Jesus. He isn’t asking you to take his statement. He’s asking you to choose yours, and to stop selling who you are just to get something done.
In this episode:
"Doing is nothing. Being is everything."
"If the goal is to do the thing, then who you are, your being, is negotiable."
"It's not about what I want to do. It's who do I want to be?"
"You do not have to be your feeling."
"There's no compromise in a state of being."
"If you'll adjust your being to do something, then you are selling it for the thing that you get."
"Love without a choice isn't love."
"I am pursuing Jesus."
"If your number one focus is on what to be, then you will expand that."
"Everything is happening for you."

If a dream is going to come to you, you have to be able to receive it. Today is the day you stop carrying it all alone and start asking with your full chest.
In this best-of compilation from The Positive Mindset Podcast, Henry Lawrence pulls together his best moments on asking and receiving from two episodes: why the most giving people ask the least, how a giver who learns to receive gets to give even more, why the good people ask for things, believing you're worth helping, and becoming the living proof of your dream.
In this episode:
• "My name is Henry and I get what I ask for."
• "If a dream is going to come to you, you got to be able to receive it."
• "If you're a giver now, and then you learn to receive, you're actually gonna be able to give more"
• "Our goal is to be able to just receive, receive from God"
• "The good people ask for things."
• "If you can believe that you're worth helping, that it is not a burden to support you"
• "Ask for things and do good with what you receive."
• "What if we're just waiting on today?"

If life knocked you down today, this is not where your story ends. You don’t have to pretend it doesn’t hurt. You do get to decide who you become as you move through it.
This episode is a compilation from past episodes of The Positive Mindset Podcast. I went back through the catalog, from 2020 to now, not only to show the growth and understanding in this teaching, but how applying these things to myself has changed me.
In this episode:
“It's a gift that I get to learn again.”
“You're experiencing those things, but you are not those things.”
“Life isn't always going to be perfect, but there's always perfection in life.”
“This is a practice. It's not perfection.”
“Internally, the way we succeed in failure is we show up anyway.”
“You'll have that win that nobody can take away from you.”
“You are absolutely worth fighting for.”
“We mess up, we get knocked down, but we can get back up.”
“I am the proof that the dream is still real because I'm gonna keep showing up.”
“That's a lighthouse when it's needed most.”

So what do we do with the weight so it doesn't own your weekend?
In this Afternoon Vibe from The Positive Mindset Podcast, Henry Lawrence walks you through four Friday traps: numbing until Monday, replaying the week like a courtroom, waiting to feel lighter before you live, and carrying everyone else's weight while calling it love. Rest restores you; numbing just makes time disappear. Feelings are terrible bosses, and ready is what happens after you move. Take the walk, ask for the help, and give yourself an hour so you don't close every week the same way.
In this episode:
• "So what do we do with the weight?"
• "Rest is important, but numbing is not the same as rest."
• "Rest restores you. Numbing just makes time disappear."
• "Are you resting? Are you hiding?"
• "Feelings are terrible bosses."
• "Ready is what happens after you move."
• "You'd give anyone the world except yourself."
• "Wanting peace, flexibility, health, or your own time, that's not selfish."
• "Give yourself just an hour."

Pulled from the full episode "How to Close the Week Strong: Going From Carrying the Weight to Walking Free Into the Weekend" (Oct 30): https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/positive-mindset-podcast/episodes/How-to-Close-the-Week-Strong-Going-From-Carrying-the-Weight-to-Walking-Free-Into-the-Weekend-e3reciu

You've made it through another week. Now put some of the weight down and walk into the weekend free.
In this mindset shift from The Positive Mindset Podcast, Henry Lawrence helps you close the week strong without pretending it was easy. If the mornings got heavy, you lost a rhythm, or you left comfort for alignment and the road got harder, you're not lazy and you're not broken. See yourself as a trailblazer, pick one I am statement for the weekend, write down what you're putting down until Monday, and take one identity action before Sunday night. It ends with a closing deep breath, the rising tide and a prayer.
In this episode:
• "I want you to close strong."
• "You're not lazy."
• "You're not broken."
• "You're somebody who just lost a coping strategy."
• "It's love, cause I'm there."
• "I am brave for doing this."
• "Start seeing yourself as a trailblazer, someone that is going out into the world and laying claim on the life that they want."
• "Life doesn't get easier first, you get stronger first."
• "You are absolutely becoming the proof."
• "It's happening for you. So rise up and become the rising tide that lifts all ships."
