Before you go to bed, plan your day ahead. Do it with your big items for the day and block enough time for travel and challenges. If that all goes well, you can use the extra time to do another thing.
Category: Reframe your thoughts
Just Smile
Wake up and just smile.
Work Backward
Pick your desired goal or destination and work backward to uncover what needs to be done and when.
The timelines will seem tighter but that is fine. There will seem like more work to do than you thought but that’s fine. You’ll need to do more than you thought so just get on with it.
Help Is Helpful
If people offer to help you, let them help. It can make things quicker, better and often more enjoyable.
Missing The Bus
If you miss the bus, just start waiting for the next one. It’s that simple.
Keep Plugging Away
Stay focused and keep going. Do not let yourself get distracted. Use your strength of mind to ensure you get to the place you want to be.
The Right Thing Can Fill You With Doubt
The right thing is often hard and can be unpopular too. You need a bigger vision, stronger purpose, more discipline and less concern for negative feedback and criticism.
Fully understand why something is the right thing by going three levels deep and knowing the 3rd level effects. Do not let your wish/should/hope mindset knock you off course.
Remember, the right thing can fill you with doubt. However, you do not need to listen to those naysaying voices. Do not be swayed by the popular and easy. Drive forward on the right track.
Unfinished Projects
Remove all unfinished projects from your life. They wear you down. If you really wanted to do them, you would have.
These were maybe good ideas at one time or a should, out of social belief or guilt, but now you can choose to end the insanity.
Free up space and time in your life. Remove these distractions. Only work on things you are absolutely committed to completing, out of love, duty, passion or necessity. All the rest must be left for someone else in the world to do.
Don’t dilute your energy for meh.
Get Some Rest
We often need more than we think. Play the long game of life. Rest often and for long enough. You can burn the candle at both ends but it rarely ends well in the long run.
Focus On Great Outcomes
If you are going to spend any energy on outcomes, spend it thinking about, and hoping for, positive outcomes.
Sure, you can acknowledge that things may not go perfectly well and there may be a few bumps in the road, but certainly don’t dwell on it. A swift acknowledgment that it could happen is enough.
Then put all of your energy and time into thinking about the different ways the amazing outcome is going to improve your life and the lives of others.
Focus on that!
