Some people will hold on to their tribal affiliations more vigorously than they hold on to their values.
Best not to be that type of person.

These are your receipts. Each win is proof you are doing the work and getting results! Yes, you!!
Smile. Stand up straight. Shoulders back. Chin up. And enjoy the moment. You are making things happen. Feel the pride in your achievements.
You deserve that good feeling.
You are putting in the work, building discipline and resilience and wins! Carry on.

What Are You Thinking About Most?
You are what you think about. Happy thoughts? Sad thoughts? Fears? Success?
Stop once a day and think about what you’ve let run loose in your mind. Be mindful.
Escort your negative, fearful thoughts to the door and close it. If there was something to learn or be aware of, take that, but don’t dwell.
Look for positive, encouraging and inspiring thoughts. Dwell on those all day.
Make sure your food for thought is a healthy meal!

Be More Curious
It’s easy to think we know so much. Yet, we know very little. We extrapolate, generalise, use bias and guess quite a bit.
We hurry people through their speech, usually just to say our bit. We aren’t that interested in what the other person has to say. We have our view and want to express that.
Yet things can dramatically improve if we just get more curious. Listen patiently to the person speaking. Understand their current mindset. Get the context in perspective. Listen to their words and emphasis.
You will learn a lot. You will improve your understanding. Your communication will improve. And you’ll become a better person.
