Fear Focus
Expecting disaster in any aspect of life is a good way to invite mental health issues.
Very many newspapers, news radio, news media, some recording artists and many individuals focus on fear and disillusionment. It is a road to horrible.
As Yoda said in Star Wars, “Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
When you consume trash, expect trash in your system.
You can change this. Ween yourself off of the news. Unless you’ve met someone, or listen to people who have spent significant time with them, then you are being used by the media to think certain things and in certain ways about that person or event.
Of the thousands of pieces of information that they could feed you, they’ll feed you the spiciest so you’ll keep coming back. However, like just about anything in excess, you’ll start to regret having any.
Focus on positive words, reports, sayings, activities and people. Let the rest land where it may, but don’t let it be in your lap.
See The Plan Ahead
Like Ollie Watkins said, he and Palmer had a plan for Palmer to feed it to him and he’d put it in.
Plan it. See it. Do it.
Become a legend.
Get Around Top Performers
Low performers drag you down (by nearly 30%!) whereas top performers bring you up (about 15%).
Makes sense. Especially if you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.
Complete Projects
Starting projects can be quite easy. You’re usually full of enthusiasm and optimism and up for something refreshingly new.
However do make sure you limit the number of projects you start and make sure you’re fully finishing these projects too.
Many people struggle to succeed because they keep adding projects that dilute their time and energy. Then they leave the open loops unfinished and on their mind. Better to start fewer projects and complete more so a higher percentage is completed. 100% would be quite extraordinary!
Think, Plan, Execute
Go for a walk or jog and run through the plan you want in your head. Think through the timing and the priorities, including the timeline. Plan out each step in your mind. By doing this preview, you will uncover obstacles you hadn’t thought of and allow enough time for each step.
Then you can execute with pace and precision. See the goal and the path first, then follow it.
Detailed Goal Planning
This is not easy. It is simple but not easy. You need to refine your goals and get very clear about what you are aiming for. Then you need a clear timeline and plan to achieve them. The more precision you add now, the higher the probability of hitting your targets!
My book, Achieve Anything, could not be better value on Amazon in the UK. Go take a look. For a couple of £s you can learn more about goal planning and taking your life up a notch or two in 2024!
The Final Push!!
It’s back to school and back to work. You have only 3 months to get everything done before Christmas, (school) holidays and New Year brings down the curtain on this 2023rd year.
It’s now a manic sprint to achieve those goals by year end!! 12 weeks!! Let’s Go!!!
Up In The Air
When plans aren’t firm or known, they’re up in the air. This can sometimes be stressful but other times it can be very liberating or opportunistic. Which do you tend to prefer?
Get Your Life Back
Have elements of your life gotten away from you? Well now that you are aware, what are you going to do about it? You can get the old you back or create a new you. Just don’t let life pass you by while you decide what to do.
