Get Clear On Your Thoughts

With clarity you have calm. Clarity can also bring energy and enthusiasm.

A great way to get mental clarity is by writing down your thoughts. By writing, we bring structure and cohesion to all those ideas in our head. We can also review our points and see where our thinking might be out of alignment with what we thought our thinking might be.

Buy a journal or primary school notepad and get writing your thoughts out today. In a week or two, you’ll be noticing the greater clarity of your thoughts.

Eat Better

You may have never thought too much about what you are eating, how much you are eating or when you are eating. And unless you’ve had mouth, throat, stomach or bowel challenges, you may not have really considered what the food and drink you consume is doing to you.

Take this moment to reflect on these points. Consider if what you are eating is fuelling your body in the best possible way. Do certain foods not agree with you? Do they make you gassy, bloated or tired?

Just like you wouldn’t put diesel in a petrol car, consider whether what you are eating is right for your body.

In addition, the amount you put in your petrol tank is important. I’m guessing here, but I assume you have never over-filled your tank such that you had petrol all over the station forecourt. So I would suggest not filling your stomach more than its relaxed capacity.

I find it incredible how few calories one actually needs in today’s move-less society. We think we need three meals a day, probably with pudding for at least one of them. Yet we don’t. The 2,000 calories per day might have been more relevant in agrarian society but most people no longer need this level of daily fuel.

Assess what you eat and drink. Re-evaluate everything food related and make some slight changes from today. Your life will be better for it from today onwards.

Be Accountable

Make your plan. Write it on paper.

Then review your progress every week. Calculate your metrics, track what you’ve done, down to the very last detail. Be brutally honest.

If you’re really ambitious, and want to see results more quickly, then track every hour. This hyper focus, tracking and reviewing will skyrocket you to the top and have you achieving your goals in no time.

(“Review” is the 6th step in my book, Achieve Anything)

Hold yourself truly accountable and your success will be nearly unfathomable.

Clear A Drawer

Just stop what you’re doing for one hour and totally clear out one drawer. Toss as much as you can and organise what’s left.

Slowly you’ll sort out your whole house over the coming weeks or couple of months. Then you’ll feel very organised and on top of things.

Then don’t let things build up after that. Don’t keep things without a purpose.

Complete Takes

Complete tasks. Not just the tasks you like to do, that are fun or easy or quick or where people notice and will say nice things about it or you.

Noooooo. Do the hard things that you keep putting off, the invisible things, the ones that challenge your mind, body and soul.

Moving things forward is good but completing them is where the money is. People don’t get paid Star money for moving the ball up the pitch unless they complete the play and set up or get a goal.

Focus on completing tasks faster, every day.

Read More Non-Fiction

Read more biographies, auto-biographies, history, and self-help. You can even read more religious, science and psychology books.

Start adding one every two months. Eight weeks to complete a book should be enough. You’ll learn so much about life, yourself and historical moments.

Fiction is fun but non-fiction can also be highly entertaining and very educational too.

Order a non-fiction book from the library today and get reading!

Sacrifice For Your Ideal

Most people are only going to chase their dream up to the point where they are happy to sacrifice to attain it.

For most, if they have to sacrifice more than they are happy to, then they give up on their goal.

If it isn’t easy enough, most folks aren’t willing to put in more sacrifice to make it happen.

For example, you may want to lose 30 pounds but only if you don’t have to get more sleep, go to bed earlier, cut out most alcohol, evening meals/snacks, tasty foods and daily treats.

If that’s what you’ll have to do, many just go through the motions, don’t really track progress, make body type excuses and remain as heavy as they are.

They may try again later in the hopes they have developed better discipline or science has changed and they won’t have to make any of the above sacrifices to reach their goal.

Or they just go to the gym or to a personal trainer in hope that some activity 2-3x per week will make up for the excesses they won’t give up elsewhere.

This can go on for 3 years or even 20 years. It will continue until the desired outcomee or goal becomes more important than the sacrifices and true, consistent change required to make the goal or outcome become a reality.

So save yourself 20 years of not trying enough / trying and make the sacrifices required or realise your goal is a wish not must, and give up on it.

You Know

You know right from wrong.

You know less calories going in means greater chance of losing weight.

You also know how gravity works. And you don’t mess with that.

When you know, and you do, just do the right thing each time. Make it a habit.
