I have read a lot of great books and some of the recommendations that I have collected and learned from have helped me process some of my life’s lessons and get me in the right direction.
I wanted to send some of my tips to you that help me stay habitual in my thought process. If you choose to use this, write these down and use it as you would like.
#1) You need a clear vision. Without a clear vision of what you want, how can you create the reality experience you’re intending by centering yourself long enough to know what the heck you want. You’ve got to get off auto-pilot and start thinking and acting for yourself.
Making friends with your fear is a good thing. Once you decide on what you want and commit fully to the vision, you can expect many suppressed fears to surface. This is a good thing!
Now that your fears are in your face, you can finally befriend them. Instead of procrastinating, running away or moving towards the comfy nice stuff, say “BRING IT ON” to them. Don’t worry, you’ll soon find out that your fears actually aren’t all that bad once you get to know them. If a fear is to take pictures of you for tracking progress purposes, do it. You will know that the fears of seeing yourself in those pictures are smaller than the accomplishment.
#2) Hello distractions, you sure do seem to be everywhere! We all know that distractions come up from every direction but you will never realize how many distractions you have in your life until you find ‘the thing’ you want to focus all your energy on. Simplifying your life, your schedule, your commitments and the things you think you need to spend your time on sure will free up loads of energy and space to take care of yourself. Once you grant yourself this freedom, it’s going to be so much easier to stay focused and dedicated to your vision to be a better you.
#3) We need to put focus on building healthy habits along the way. How horrible would it be to finally achieve your goal after a long, hard journey and be just too stressed to savor the joy of a journey well-walked? This happens to so many people. Take care of your body so you can enjoy the sweetness of life every step of the way. Eat fresh foods, hydrate with water, get your workouts in, get plenty of rest, take time off to do the other stuff you love, meditate and stretch daily…basically, stay as healthy as you can. To do this, you must commit to having healthy habits that fill you up and allow yourself to be in the moment.
