Life is a mental game

How you think, your mental mindset will influence if not determine your outcomes and what you can achieve today.

If we don’t consider our state of mind in whatever we do, we will very likely get off track or run into obstacles. Many of which begin with us and how we think.

Our minds are fractured and stressed. Whether it’s…

• Going to the office for the first time
• Wondering if your child will be safe and stay healthy at school
• Dealing with performance or social anxiety
• Figuring out how to ruthlessly prioritize
• Simply getting ready for a meeting

Heck – we need that mental edge just getting out of bed to face the day!

In fact, I would argue that everything we do requires mental energy and mental fortitude.

We can gain all the skills in the world but unless we are prepared mentally to exercise our expertise, at best our skills don’t have the impact we desire. At worst, our lack of mental preparedness will derail those very competencies we’ve worked so hard to acquire.?

How can we get our mind in the right place today? These are a few things I do when my mind is not in the right place.?

• Talk or write your way to a strong mentally state; journal, talk to yourself or someone who will compassionately listen.
• Pray and meditate. Give it away, ask to rise to your potential, visualize what can be.
• Move your body! Even better if you can do that outside with some green and sun.
• Use creativity to shift your thinking. Music, dance, drawing, cooking.
• Get inside someone else’s story – read a book.
• Give your time and attention to helping someone else.

What mindset are you looking to embrace??How will this mindset enable you to:?

• make progress,?
• learn something new,?
• revive your sense of choice,
• or remind you that you are on a mission that matters.

Skill building is not enough. Invest energy in sharpening your mind too.
