When you feel an emotion coming up in your body, hold it for a minute. Feel it and understand where it came from. Good ones, and the others, they all need a little reflection.
You can learn a lot from this process. I like to say, ‘From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable’ and doing this exercise will sometimes make you quite uncomfortable. But that is ok. It is worth it. This self-knowledge will make you unstoppable.
Getting out of bed is risky. Walking down the road is risky. Jim Rohn taught us that this is a world with everyday risk. Working is risky but so is not working – just in a different way.
So pick what you want to do and pursue it. Make sure you mitigate all the risks that you can, right from the beginning. The more risks you can mitigate well, this will help you ensure the viability of any project, company or event.
Keep taking one step at a time. It may be your lowest point, your hardest moment, but don’t give up.
You’ve come too far to stop now. Dig down deep in your soul. Fight for survival. Know better days are ahead. Get knocked down and stand back up.
When your face is to the floor and you are bloodied and bruised, remember what you’re doing this for. Jump up and get back in the ring.
—- Guess who watched CREED tonight. One of Ryker’s favourites.
Hear it or see it, but definitely soak in it. Do not take it for granted or brush over it. Really take that news in and feel it in your bones.
Doing this will lift your spirits and heal your inner wounds and your physical being. The power of positive thinking and feeling the goodness of life is very powerful if you let it sink into your soul.
Cuddle your wife or husband.
Cuddle up on the sofa to watch a movie.
Cuddle up in bed. Or snuggle up. Your choice.
It’s warm, loving and relaxing. It soothes the soul.
You have no idea about the depth of your resilience. You can withstand far more than you have ever experienced and your resources are deeper and stronger than you can imagine.
You don’t need to go out and test it, but just know, you have some awesome depth.
Find healthy reasons to laugh more. Go to comedy shows, hear a funny story, or recount a funny joke.
Smile with your mouth and eyes and you will feel better instantly.
Life can be surprisingly absurd.
What might be painful today, will make a great and funny story a few years from now. So bring the future into the present and have a laugh while you can.
Remember, always look on the bright side of life.
