Get going on this first step. Ignore your life today, as it is, and start noting down your absolute ideal life.
Don’t try to figure out the how, just focus on the what. What would your ideal life, in all aspects, look like?
Get as broad and detailed as possible. Paint a magnificent picture. Do no hold back.
Everyone could use a lazy day once in a while. The day could be to stay in your pajama’s, or read books, watch sports on TV, etc
This is not every Saturday, but 1-3 times per year. Throwing a whole day can be very regenerative.
Remember to refuel or you’ll run out of gas.
Your car, and you as well.
Resilience is a critical attribute or skill to have. Being able to survive and thrive, despite challenges and difficult times, is such an important mindset to develop to a high degree.
Life isn’t always fair and neither does it go to plan every day. Sometimes you struggle for days, weeks or months on end. You need to be able to navigate the ups and downs of life without losing overall enthusiasm and discipline to carry on without missing a beat.
Learn how to bounce back, keep going, build a vision, and not let things hold you down and trap you there for weeks, months or years.
Life’s short. You’ll get through anything you train your brain to get through, persevere and move forward stridently.
The sooner you can learn to bounce back quickly, the more incredible your life will be.
No matter what you do, you should have a plan. A written plan is even better. It’s great to have thought things through a little and have written down those key points or elements.
This is great visualisation process and prepares you for speed bumps and other challenges you might encounter.
See the vision. Adjust as necessary.

Big picture and generalisations have their purpose and place. However, you need to focus on the nitty gritty, nuts and bolts and detailed bits in order to finish a job well.
Make a list of all the steps you can possibly think of to finish a project from this point. Then crack on and get these steps completed.
You are smart, clever, sensible and capable. But why leave this to chance? Write things down. It takes a minute but you’ll be far better served by a note than your memory.
You think you’ll remember because it’s clear in the moment. However, a few days from now, with fifty other things going on, and you’re likely to forget or confuse the details with other things.
Don’t chance it. Write things down and review those things daily.
It will all end one day, so be sure to set aside some time each day to enjoy! Don’t put it off.
Remember this always. Pain is temporary. History is forever. DNA is forever. Life is going to have its ups and downs. Don’t get locked in on the downs. These too shall pass.
Hold on to great memories. Let painful ones go. You don’t need to drag those around with you. They will weigh you down and you will be less light, attractive and free.
Focus on great memories. You’ll smile more.
Let the pain drift away. You do not need to cherish it and bathe in it like a masochist. Set your soul free.
