You want to live the lifestyle of a true champion? It all starts with disciplined thinking.
One Powerful Way to Overcome Procrastination
Is procrastination overpowering you? Have you stopped or put off any actions, thinking that you’ll get to it “someday?”
Take an honest look at your self-talk. Do you find yourself telling stories about why you can’t be, do, or have something you really desire? What stories (read: excuses) are causing you to delay or not take any real actions?
Do any of these self-talk stories sound familiar?
- I don’t have enough time
- I don’t have enough money
- My job is getting in the way
- It’s too much work
- It’s too risky
- I don’t have the right education/degree/experience
- I’m too young/too old
- My family and friends won’t agree or understand
- And so on…
To get back on track towards realizing your dreams, begin to understand that these are all self-imposed limitations that we create for ourselves. This is procrastination disguising itself as logical rationalization in an attempt to stop all dream-achieving activity.
How can you defeat procrastination?
Two words —> Build Momentum.
Determine the results you desire for yourself and then find a way to take momentum-building actions on a regular and consistent basis. Set yourself up to win by developing the right system that works for you.
The best momentum-building systems are the ones that get you to take action before any thoughts of procrastination can enter your mind. Your objective is to find a way to make your actions automatic.
Here are a few examples of setting yourself up to win by building momentum:
- Fitness: Have your running shoes/gear ready and next to your bed so you can get up to run first thing in the morning
- Writing: Write 1 paragraph, or 1 page, every day etc.
- Reading: Read 1 paragraph, or 1 chapter, every day etc.
- Meditation: Meditate for 5 minutes, or 20 minutes, every day etc.
- Finances: Save $1, or $5 every day, etc.
- Fitness: Walk 20 minutes, every day, etc.
By building up the right momentum, you will begin establishing powerful habits that accelerate the achievement of your desires. You’ll find yourself automatically taking on increasingly larger actions as you naturally level up. Purposefully build up your momentum and procrastination won’t stand a chance!
7 Warning Signs That You’re Too Focused on Fear
Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.
― Dale Carnegie
One of your biggest threats to living a life full of passion plus profits is fear. I’m not talking about the kind of fear that is a response to actual physical dangers. I’m referring to the kind of fear that attempts to hold you back with imaginary threats. Beware of the form of fear which aims to leave you living a life of mediocrity and regret.
Energy flows where your attention goes
If you’re too focused on fear, then your energy is being sucked into the things that do not bring you closer to your goals. Fortunately, from the right perspective it’s easy to see if fear has a hold on your mind. Once you become aware of this, you can consciously choose to refocus your attention.
Here are 7 warning signs that you’re focusing too much attention on fear:
- You’re not taking any action.
- You’re taking action on the wrong things.
- You’re avoiding any big decisions.
- You’re full of excuses.
- You’re procrastinating.
- You’re distracting yourself.
- You’re stuck on the problem and not exploring possible solutions.
If you’re experiencing any of the above warning signs, then this message was created with you mind. You can use fear as a trigger to re-direct your attention towards those actions you most need to take. Instead of focusing on what you fear, focus on what you want to make real.
9 Ways to Find Your Focus
Are you taking focused action on what you need to do to make your online dreams come true?
Do you ever feel as if you’ve lost a bit of your focus?
It happens to all of us.
Recently, I’ve been physically and mentally pulled in so many different directions. I’m working a full-time job, in a long distance relationship, self-educating myself, developing my team, building masterminds, and so on.
There’s so many wonderful things to do and focus on, that a slight shift in the wrong direction can leave us feeling unfocused.
Fortunately, there are also several ways to find your focus and get back on track.
Here are 9 ways to find your focus:
1⃣ Declutter. This applies to your work space as well as your mind.
2⃣ Take a break. Sometimes all we need is some time away from what we’re doing to re-connect with our focus. Getting away from everything can help you remember what’s important.
3⃣ Change your environment. Whether it’s simply stepping outside or traveling to distant lands, change up your scenery and the energy of your surroundings.
4⃣ Take a step back and look at the “big picture”. We can get so focused on the details that we forget why we’re doing all this in the first place. You can’t see the picture if you’re standing inside the frame.
5⃣ Limit your distractions. Enough said.
6⃣ Schedule focused time. Set aside blocks of time for you to focus on specific actions. Mark your calendar to make it real.
7⃣ Set timelines. Without a set date that you’re committed to keep, procrastination will play games with you and your focus.
8⃣ Get up and start moving! You can change your mental state by changing your physical state. There is a positive relationship between exercise and focus/productivity.
9⃣ Get back to basics. Beware of overcomplicating things when your focus is right in front of you. Adjust accordingly and get back to what you do best.
Finding your focus can take time, but in due time you will find that it’s all in your mind. 😉
