Top 10 Mindset Ted Talks

Hi Folks, we are deep into October with just 73 Days to Jan 1st, 2023. Have you hit or even exceeded your goals / monthly targets, or are you looking at the target totally, wondering if it can be achieved?

The one thing we always have control over is our mindset, our approach to how we set about our daily routines, and those reoccurring tasks weekly and monthly.

Even by tweaking these, learning how to approach them with a different perspective and mentality can change the game in both your discipline and motivation significantly.

I love learning; I listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and youtube channels, especially Ted Talks.

Free expertise on every topic imaginable, sharing their life works, passion and understandings.

Seek excellence, not perfection. Brown says perfectionism is "the belief that if we live perfectly, look perfectly and act perfectly, we can avoid the pain of blame, judgment and shame."?

Perfectionism isn't about growth, improvement, or personal achievement; it's about fear and avoidance.

Q5. Does perfectionism take up all your time?

Essentially we all have. 168 hours a week.

Laura Vanderkam 's books were eye-opening for me; we all have the same amount of time, and being the most effective you can be with that is one of the wisest decisions you will make.
