I was thinking how could I contribute to add value to your life, and not waste your time. So I sat and thought what could I literally talk about that is different and will make an impact. And then it hit me. I can write about the power of mindset and overcoming anything. You can look to get everything you want in life, be in better shape, eat right, be successful with a career or business, but if your head is not in the right place… you'll never get it. So this article I will be sharing with you the power of developing a killer mindset, and overcoming any obstacles. You'll discover the 5 stages of developing the right mindset and what you can do to take things to the next level. But as you know, if you've ever read anything about this stuff before it can be boring and dry as hell. So I've decided to shake things up a bit. I've written this differently than anything else on this topic, and I've put it together in a way that it will really connect with you. So read on to see how you can develop a powerful mind and overcome anything. OK, so before I dive into the first part, I wanted to throw a few things out there for you that I've learned over the years about this dealing with the mind. The first thing is, we are our own worst enemy. I see it every day with all athletes and entrepreneurs. They doubt, second guess, and question everything they do. The more they do this, the worse it gets for them. I'm guilty of this too. I over-analyze the hell out of everything, and I'm constantly trying to just listen to my gut instead of my head. The second thing I realized is that mindset is a choice. Choice is the most powerful thing in the world. Everything you do is a choice. You choose to workout. You choose to get a job, or start a business You choose what clothes you buy and where. You choose what to eat. You choose your thoughts. Everything is a choice. When you realize that, you have the power to choose anything you want, you start to realize how powerful your mind already is. The third thing about developing a powerful mindset is that you need the right kind of discipline. Discipline is a nasty word, and has a negative connection to it because it means that you are going to have to work and sacrifice for whatever it is that you are trying to achieve. But the interesting thing that very few people realize is that you already are disciplined. Everyone is. We are just disciplined to the lifestyle we currently have. For example, if someone says that they are not disciplined enough to workout that's technically not right. They are plenty disciplined. They are just disciplined to not working out. It's the change, and thought of sacrifice and work that scares them. Which boils down to a change in mindset. If they understood Certified Personal Trainers w that they were already sacrificing and working towards and unhealthy life, things would be a lot easier to change. So every person is already disciplined. It's just to their current lifestyle. And that leads me to the last thing I learned about mindset, and that is…
Fear is the conductor of your mind. With that being said, let's dive right into the first part of creating the ultimate mindset. Fear OK, so I'm going to dive into the first area when it comes to creating the ultimate mindset. That is handling fear. This is the biggest issue we all face when it comes to the mind. Fear is the number one reason why we don't accomplish what we want in our life. On a side note, did you know that the fear of death isn't even the number one fear? Public speaking is! Anyway, here's the thing about fear that we never understand…. That is, fear does NOT actually exist. It's just a thought or an emotion. We create it. It doesn't physically exist in any shape or form. It's not like you could walk down the street and see fear walking in front of you. It's just a thought and emotion that exists within us. I guess we could blame evolution for that. Back in the caveman days, we needed fear to survive. It was a warning signal that your life was in danger. But today, we don't really have to worry about some crazy animal jumping out of nowhere trying to eat us. We have to worry more about making sure we pay the bills, take care of the kids, and choosing whether or not we need to be in better shape. Fear really doesn't have a place in today's society. Now that doesn't mean if you're swimming in the ocean and you see a huge great white shark come at you that fear doesn't exist, it just means that it shouldn't be part of our day to day life. But it is. And it's crippling the very soul of who we are. Oh, and when I talk about fear, I don't mean fear as in the fear of heights, or spiders, or flying. I mean the type of fear that holds you back. Here are just a few examples of what I mean..
- Afraid to quit a job that is destroying a person’s health, because they are afraid they won't be able to find another job
- The fear of starting your own business, because what if it fails?
- The fear of moving to a different location
