What is Your Mindset and Why Does it Matter?

Share

Mindset Mastery Series

What is Your Mindset and Why Does Your Mindset Matter?

Your mindset is the prevailing mental attitude you have about that particular area of your life. There are many times when we want to achieve something, we want to get great results but for some reason we keep getting tripped up or we keep falling down or things just aren’t working out the way that we wanted them to.

I used to have that happen a lot. It used to be absolutely maddening. I would have these grand visions, these dreams and desires and things where I felt, “YES! I’ve gotta make that happen!” And then it would never seem to come to pass.

When I started effectively achieving my goals

It wasn’t until I started mastering my mindset that I was able to start achieving the goals and achieving the results that I wanted… because mastering your mindset is what allows you to take consistent action. Mastering your mindset is what allows you to move forward consistently, to move forward and just annihilate any obstacles that might be in your way. To annihilate, to jump over, to plow through, to learn from. Really, that’s what obstacles are…things we need to learn our way over, through, or around. When an obstacle comes up, it just means there’s something that we’ve got to figure out to get past it. But when you have a mindset, that’s a powerful and strong mindset, you will be able to take the action necessary to learn what you need to learn and to get through and to move over and get around and just bypass any of the obstacles that might be coming up. if you have a more fragile mindset, or if you have a mindset that is based in a victim mentality, then that’s when those obstacles can be brick walls. And they can end up stopping you from getting the results you want.

The Body Emotion Connection

Probably the best way to demonstrate that is to tell you a story about my mindset and how it used to be in relation to my health and fitness goals.

Throughout most of my life, when it came to working out, I was like this.Exercise Consistency in Past I would go great and I’d be making excellent gains. And then something would happen and I would just crash and fall off. Then a little while later I’d start working out again. The way it would happen is I would miss a workout or I’d miss two workouts–for whatever reason, it could have been that I went on vacation, it could have been that I was sick, whatever the reason was–if I missed a couple of workouts I would think that everyone in the gym was thinking bad things about me, that they were being critical about me, that they were being judgmental about the fact that I’d missed the workouts. And then I would use that as justification to create anxiety about going to the gym…

There were times where I would pull up in front of the gym in the morning and I would sit there in my car. I would have this battle raging inside. “I want to go in! I want to workout! But what is so-and-so going to think and what is so-and-so going to think?” And they’re going to know that I wasn’t working out, that I’d missed those days. In the past, what would happen is I would ultimately end up giving up and either going back to my house or going to work… And that was a fragile mindset. That was a mindset that was focused on what other people thought. And with my mindset at that point in time being focused on what other people thought I was unable to produce the long-term results that I wanted.

That’s what I want to talk about here. Our mindset is so critical to the success we achieve. if our mindset is firm and determined and strong and willing to learn and willing to grow and willing to be uncomfortable in whatever area of life it is—that we’re working on—then we’re going to get the results we want. We may not be able to control the results but we can always control our actions! Consistent, positive, powerful actions will produce much greater and much better results. They will produce much greater results than sporadic actions or actions that are unfocused or actions that have no true passion and desire and power behind them. so what we’re going to talk about in this video series is how you can learn to master your mindset. How you can learn to take control of the mental game. So you can start being the true captain of your life and you can start getting the results that you want.

What Are You Grateful For?

Share

Before I learned the Power of Gratitude, I used to dread the holidays

Are You Grateful?

I used to dread the holidays. For many people they are a time of great rejoicing. For me they were a time of great depression, anxiety, and despair. They were an extended reminder of the things I thought I was missing in my life. I later learned the problem wasn’t the holidays. The problem was within me. The problem was where I was looking, the negative soundtrack in my head, and the feelings I entertained. Understand, I’d had a lifetime creating a negative-feedback loop in my mind and I saw it escalate every year between October and January.

Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever watched your life and wondered why things weren’t working out? Or heard the discord of negative thoughts and emotions spin out of control during the holidays?

It’s exhausting and can be debilitating.

But I broke the cycle. I learned the power of thoughts, that we always have a choice what thoughts we focus on, entertain, and listen to. I also learned about Gratitude—the secret weapon against despair.

Gratitude replaces negative emotions. It fills us with hope and opens our eyes to the beauty of life.

Gratitude replaces negative emotions. It fills us with hope and opens our eyes to the beauty of life. And life is beautiful. Life is an intricate tapestry of emotions, experiences, thoughts, and people woven into the pattern of our choosing.

We get to choose what life means. No matter what happens, no matter where we are, how bad we think we have it, or what we’re going through, we always have the choice what life means to us.

Deepak Chopra says, “The meaning of the event is the event.”

And it’s true. The same thing can happen to three different people and all of them can come away with a different experience because all of them filter the event through their life-lens.

If you’re suffering from depression during the holidays, then perhaps your lens is dirty. Try cleaning it with a healthy dose of gratitude!

How to Start a Gratitude Habit

When I started learning the power of gratitude I kept a daily gratitude journal. Every morning I’d write ten to twenty things I was grateful for. Why? This helps train your mind to look for and find the positive in situations. It also helps you understand that there are always things to feel grateful for because you’re opening your eyes, ears, and heart to the gifts in your life.

I know this can seem difficult if you’re embedded in depression but I promise, if you look, you’ll discover things to feel grateful for.

Let’s get started. Take a piece of paper and write, “I’m grateful for _____________” and put the first things that comes to mind in the blank. It can be as simple as, “I’m grateful for my shoes!” Or, “I’m grateful for my skin!” List anything you feel grateful for. Once you get in the habit, you’ll realize that you can feel gratitude for everything in your life.

I’ll Start a List to Show You How Easy It Is!

  • I’m grateful for my life!
  • I’m grateful for my family!
  • I’m grateful for my beautiful wife!
  • I’m grateful for my amazing children!
  • I’m grateful for the air I breathe!
  • I’m grateful for the sun and the moon and the stars!
  • I’m grateful for the beauty of our world!
  • I’m grateful for the oceans!
  • I’m grateful for hope!
  • I’m grateful for my health!
  • Most of all, I’m grateful for you!

What are You Grateful For?

Always Remember:

You Are The Master of Your Destiny!

Do You Know Your Why?

Share

Your Why is the reason you want to live your passion

Knowing Your Why Matters!

Have you ever felt like you’re making no real progress with your passion, like you aren’t gaining traction, or you just don’t see the results you hoped for?

I have. I used to feel that way a lot!

So what’s the deal? If we love what we’re doing, and we work hard, we should realize awesome results. Right?

You’d think so. But as you know, that’s not always the case. Sometimes we’re working hard…but not doing the things that truly matter. Sometimes we’re doing the things that matter but we’re inconsistent in our efforts. Sometimes we work hard for weeks or months and then lose our drive and momentum. Sometimes we get distracted by something else that seems really, really shiny. We think it’ll help up reach our dream faster but in reality it just pulls us off course because it takes time, energy, and effort away from our dream.

The problem is any of these can slow, stall, or completely derail our dreams!

It’s easy to get overwhelmed and even lose momentum when you’re working toward living your passion. The key is to truly understand your ‘why’. Your ‘why’ is the reason you want to live your passion. Your ‘why’ is what gives you that extra push when things are tough. Your ‘why’ is what you’ll gain by living your passion.

Once I really figured out my ‘why’ I started realizing amazing results!

I used to think my passion and my ‘why’ were the same. So I thought I knew my ‘why’. I was good. No need to do anything extra in that area, Right?

Wrong.

I discovered that my ‘why’ and my passion aren’t the same, not exactly. I discovered that knowing my passion wasn’t always enough to keep me focused. So I kept experiencing slowdowns on my path to living my passion.

Have you ever experienced slowdowns on your path toward living your dreams?

Then you know how frustrating it is!

Once I understood the difference between my ‘why’ and my passion, I got clear on my ‘why’. My passion is helping people create lasting change and better lives for themselves and those around them, empowering others through speaking and writing. My ‘why’ is the feeling I get from helping others—doing as much good in the world as I can—and a huge part of my ‘why’ is having time for my family, being my own boss, and the ability to do what I want, when I want.

My passion is what I love doing. My ‘why’ is what I personally get from doing my passion.

Did you just have an ah-ha moment?

You understand that knowing your passion is critical to your success. Knowing your ‘why’ is critical to creating the momentum necessary to live your passion.

 

I’m still working toward living my passion full time. And I’m getting closer every day! Since I’ve discovered the difference between my passion and my ‘why’, my results have been astounding! It’s like the Universe is lining up people and events to help me on the path to my dreams!

Discover Your Why

How can You Discover Your Why?

A good place to start is by imagining your perfect day because your perfect day will be full of things and people you love. These are clues to your ‘why’.

Read the following questions to prime your mind, then imagine your perfect day.

 

What happens during your perfect day?

What are you doing?

Who are you with?

Where are you?

What are the sights, the sounds, the scents, the textures?

What feeling does your perfect day evoke?

 

Now that you’ve got your perfect day in mind, answer these questions:

What opportunities will living my passion give me?

What can I do when I’m living my passion that I’m unable to do now?

What excites me the most about living my passion?

 

These answers are Your Why. They’re the reasons you want to live your passion. They’re the things that’ll keep you going when things are tough.

Think about your ‘why’ daily. Think about your why when you run into resistance on the path to your goals and dreams. Remember the reasons you’re working to live your passion.

To help you keep your ‘why’ in mind, I’ve created a downloadable worksheet for you. Download it, fill it out, and review it daily.

 

Always Remember:

You Are The Master of Your Destiny!
