#126 - How The Impossible Is More Possible Than You Think, With Alissa Camplin-Warner

Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

You stand at the top of the steep run-in to the massive aerial ski jump. A sea of people and the worlds press below. Breathe in. Breathe out. Here you go…

You ignore the pain of the broken bones in both of your ankles.

You only need 15 seconds of perfection - flipping & twisting through the air 6 meters above the icy snow - to win the Olympic gold medal you’ve dreamed of, trained for and sacrificed for… for over a decade.

But you KNOW you’re in your right place and you’re ready, because you’ve visualised and prepared for this moment in minute detail - hundreds of times.

Welcome to another Dream Life podcast episode!

The immense and often under-estimated power of visualisation - and how to use it in your own life - is just one of the valuable take-aways for you from my truly inspiring guest in this weeks podcast.

Alisa Camplin-Warner is a true hero - in every sense of the word - and the first ever female to win gold for Australia in the Winter Olympics.

Her incredible story has so many real life learnings for us all as we contemplate or chase our own dreams. However big or small.

I really urge you to listen carefully to this episode as I revisit one of my most popular and downloaded episodes ever. It’s so profoundly inspiring and full of everyday learnings for you.

Some of the key things you’ll learn are:

• How Alisa pursued a big dream, without knowing IF or HOW she could do it - and how you don’t need to know IF or HOW. You just need to start. The important lesson? Don’t let not knowing HOW stop you from starting.
• The immense power of WHO. As in who can help me with this? Who has done before what I want to do now? How can I learn from them?
• How starting small and taking regular small steps forwards is the right way to achieve your dreams.
• How even seemingly insurmountable obstacles can be overcome if you have a strong enough ‘reason why’, a growth mindset and good people around you.
• How to find silver linings in the darkest clouds. The story Alisa shares of how lucky she was to break both ankles just 6 weeks before the gold medal jump is simply spine tingling amazing.
• How Alisa harnessed the power of her self-doubt - and how you can too. Way too often I see self-doubt stop people from living the life they deserve.
• Why you just have to start practising visualisation to help you achieve your goals and dreams - and how to do it.
• The importance of having the right people around you – who support, encourage and believe in you and your dreams. Surrounding yourself with the right people and the right community is so important.
• And last but not least – the power of reading and learning. Alisa is an avid reader - loves biographies - and always asks herself “if they can do it why can’t I?!”

So, do yourself a big favour and make time to listen to this INCREDIBLE episode. Take notes in your journal - and ask yourself, “well, if she can why can’t I?!”

ENJOY!

And Dream Big for yourself!
