Ever get to that point where you have way too much on your plate? I’ve certainly been feeling that. Big things. Little things. Many things.
Sometimes we distract ourselves with novelty. However, the stuff remains to be dealt with. You can take breaks, and sometimes you need more or longer breaks than usual to deal with the mental load.
Eventually though, you will get through it, and things will get back to normal.
It’s the only way to get everything jammed in before the bell tolls.
Stay focused.
When you begin anything for the first time or if you’re just trying to improve it, you will feel uncomfortable, unnatural and even unable, to change things going forward.
It is, however, up to you to make this work better.
Because there is only one way to get to unstoppable, and that is through uncomfortable.
Stop spending so much time on what you don’t want in life. It’s like praying for bad things to happen.
Start focusing on what you do want each day. List what you want and then focus on that list. It will be a bit uncomfortable and you’ll find it a bit difficult the first few times you make or add to this list. But then it will get easier and you’ll start to see the results you were looking for. You might even go on to become unstoppable!
If you want to change anything in your life, you really need to do some training and repetition until that thing is exactly how you want it.
If you wanted to be able to play basketball better, you would have to train yourself to shoot, pass, and dribble better. And the better bit comes from repetition. The more reps, done correctly, that you can do, the more likely you are to develop the skill, or habit, or thought pattern that you’re looking for. This would mean that when you want to activate that item, your training and repetition will mean that it activates immediately and in a great way.
Stop hoping and wishing.
Start training and repetition.
Are you afraid to be alone? Does it make you wildly uncomfortable? If not, when is your favourite time to be alone?
Being able to be alone is a pretty good sign of an independent mind and of someone who is at home in their own skin.
Learn to be alone. Alone without your phone. Alone without anyone else. Alone with your thoughts. And allow yourself to consider the thoughts that float through your mind. By considering each thought slowly and methodically and then letting it continue to float away helps you better understand your own thinking. This is better than allowing anyone and everyone to influence you with their opinion without consideration.
Try it today! Even for just five minutes. Then you can work up to a whole hour or two!
We think about what we would like but don’t commit actual time to write it down and do the hard mental work of figuring it all out.
We need a clear destination. This can shift and change later but we need something to focus on now. Then work backwards to see what you can do to achieve your goal.
Take a few hours and doodle some notes out, to consider, as the days progress.
If you won’t take five hours over the next seven days to plan your amazing future, then whatever you get will just have to do!
We all need some personal boundaries. We need to be clear what we are delighted with and what is not bringing us joy. Set your boundaries and see what happens.
Life can seem to drag on during difficult or boring moments and yet speed passed the rest of the time.
Pay attention, because life goes quick. If you think about something too long, the opportunity can just disappear. Develop the skill of assessing and acting quickly.
You can do this on a daily basis when ordering food or a drink. When deciding to attend an event or not, you can get more practice in.
If you want to max everything out in life, then learn, develop, and master the skill of decision velocity.
