Either on your own or with someone. Get outdoors and walk for your daily activity. Go for 1-2 hours. Think new thoughts, consider different ideas, think opposite perspectives and just be fine doing this.
The fresh air, exercise and movement as well as the time and space to have many thoughts will make you feel quite amazing.
Keep focused on your short and long term plans. Have a positive picture of your life and of you celebrating your great achievements so you can keep a good mindset, especially when you are going through the mud.
Write out what your life will look like in 12 months and also 5 years. Note down what age you’ll be and what your health and fitness will be, your weight and / or trouser size, your finances (including debt levels and savings and investments), your relationships (partner, kids, parents, friends), where you live and how (lifestyle, spending budget) and finally how you’ll spend your waking hours.
Write it down on paper so you get a great picture of what life will be like so you can work towards living that great life!
Is there a place, smell, person, situation, level of savings or expertise or a holiday destination that brings you calm? Get a sense of what that is and make note of it. Be clear about it so you can get yourself into that calm state whenever you want to. Make it habit.
Even if it is not somewhere or something close by, you can take a photo of it and look at that photo. You’ll be able to replicate the effect to some degree and that will get stronger with practice and repetition.
Think forward and not backward. Accept what has happened in the past and think about how you would like to steer your life going forward.
Focus on what could be in the future and move toward that. Take one step at a time and press on.
A future vision of your life and the world should be almost entirely positive. As a vision, it doesn’t require any negative aspects. If you’re holding negative thoughts then you have the opportunity to change those in your mind.
Use forward thinking to take you forward, toward the life you want to be living.
Whether you’re going on a trip or getting together your thoughts on retirement in 30 years, plan well ahead.
It’s a good idea to think things through, write things down, organise a plan and then take action.
if you plan well ahead, you are more likely to achieve the goals and dreams that you have noted down.
Learn to take responsibility for your thoughts, actions and mistakes, your team, your family and your life in general.
Be the person that says I did it despite the issue. Or say I tried. Just don’t say they stopped you or blame others.
Find what makes you tick and go all in. Get up early, wake in the night, stay up 3 days in a row and think about it relentlessly.
Build something exciting. Enjoy the ride.
Is there something you love to do? Could you make some money doing it? Maybe that is your next move.
Start small and build up while you have a primary job and in a few short years, this new pastime could be your only job.
When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, and preferably well before, get some help. Help will come in a myriad of ways, when you start seeking it. Seek and you shall find.
Even if you’re uncomfortable, go find it. You will then shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable.
Whether you’re just uncomfortable or there is real pain, push through. It can be physical or mental pain or anguish but you have to simply push through.
