Master Your Mentality

There is bad news swirling around us constantly at the moment, provoking fear and insecurity.

You have a choice at times like these -  you either buy into the paranoia and put your dreams and desires on hold or you develop new strengths, new skills and new ways of looking at life.

Don’t give up on your goals and dreams, just because ‘the time isn’t right.

1.Turn off the news

At the very least reduce your exposure to bad news and the media’s job is to report – overwhelmingly – bad news, on the worst conditions possible.

Unless you are already a master of your mentality and can filter out the news, turn it off. Otherwise you run the risk of feeding powerlessness and victimhood.

2. Stop listening to others

Friends and colleagues can reinforce what’s going on in the media. Don’t argue with them, but don’t buy into their interpretation of the world.

If you’re contemplating a brave move, seek the opinion of another brave person – not one living in fear. It’s also not fair to ask another to tell you what to do. That’s your job to figure out and take responsibility.

3. Believe, believe, believe in yourself

This is the time to get behind yourself and forge on with dreams and desires. I find that many people will never take action toward their goals and aspirations because they simply don’t believe in themselves, nor that they deserve whatever it is they want.

If you are going to be successful in spite of a recession and create the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen.

You have to believe you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off. This is an article in itself, which I’ll do shortly.

4. Concentrate on service

Don’t make it all about the money. Focus on the contribution that you can and must make to others. What are the services and gifts you have that others need. Your world needs you. Give, give, give.

5. Don’t go it alone

Choose a great, inspiring influence to support your highest ambitions and grandest version of yourself. I would personally work with any and all of the coaches here on my site.
