Put a marker down that is memorable. Do something unique to you to celebrate a milestone or victory.
It is important to mark occasions and make that day distinct from others so your special moments don’t run together with your regular days.

Uncertainty
Uncertainty can be very destabilising. When you are feeling uncertain, get to the gym or do some exercise at least. Change your state. Change your environment too. Do this especially if you can get somewhere that makes you feel more positive or confident.
Start recognising what you can be certain about. There may be more things than you think. It could be that you have great health or your parents love you very much.
Whatever you can lock onto to anchor your thoughts will be great. You’ll start to relax.

Persist

Persist.

Things Take Time
Pregnancy takes nine months. Babies take 18 years to grow and become adults. Even the Olympics takes 6 years to build, prepare or train for.
Assume everything might take longer than expected. Use this assumption to even go to your meeting today.
Things take time. Not forever but maybe a little longer than you anticipated.
Plan accordingly.

Get Around The Best People For Your Future
Spend more time with people who are trying to improve. Get yourself around people who are doing well in at least one area.
Reduce the time you spend with people who are not where you want to be or aren’t helping you get there.
Be selective.
It’s tough. But required.

Enjoy
Take time to enjoy, not just get through.

Commit
Be disciplined and follow through on what you commit to.
If it is the gym on Thursday morning at 06:00, then you make sure you’re there at 05:55. No snooze button. No roll over. Just get on your gear and go.
If you aren’t serious, don’t commit.
If you commit, you go. No excuses.

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.
