"Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labour does the body."

<ul><li>Life's full of ups and downs. The highs drive us forward, while the lows can drag us down.</li><li>The key to successfully achieving your vision is to make the most of the impetus that the highs bring, but prepare yourself mentally for the lows, so that they don't sap your will to succeed.</li></ul>

Building resolve

<ul><li>It's easier to give up than to carry on―but to be successful you have to dig deep, maintain focus and continue with your mission.</li><li>There will also be unforeseen challenges in your way to reach the summit of your vision, and their cumulative effect will really test your resolve.</li><li>If your vision is true and your passion strong, then you will be able to cope with setbacks and return stronger and more determined to succeed.</li></ul>

Setbacks are just part of the game plan.

﻿"Pride is holding your head up when everyone around you has theirs bowed. Courage is what makes you do it."

<ul><li>If you really want it, you will have an insatiable desire and the will to succeed.</li><li>Building mental toughness ia one of the most important ingredients for success.</li><li>It is vital to condition your mind to becoming resilient. Without it, winning becomes more difficult.</li><li>From time to time reevaluate your core beliefs.</li></ul>

Cultivating mental toughness

<ul><li>When it all seems too much, reflect calmly on why you're doing this.</li><li>Remind yourself what you're striving for, that it was never going to be easy and that you have confidence in your own ability to succeed.</li><li>After all, the harder the road, the greater the feeling of achievement at the end, and the sweeter the taste.</li></ul>

Take strength from adversity.

When things are not going your way, embrace the principle of RAF to get you through:<ol><li>Rewind and go back to your mission, picture success and hold this image in you mind. This activity will move you out of the negative state and refresh your mind to get you back "on purpose".</li><li>Accept that things will not always go your way. Avoid long drawn out dissections of why things turned out the way they did. Accept and move on otherwise negative self talk will hinder progression.</li><li>Have Faith in yourself and your ability to achieve what you want out of life. Bouncing back when things go wrong is far easier.</li></ol>

Rewind, accept and have faith

The Success Factor

"A pessimist is somebody who complains about the noise when opportunity knocks."

<ul><li>The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.</li><li>There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking make it so.</li><li>Put things into perspective! The closer you are to the problem and the more in front of it, the less you see. Step back and get a more global view of it.</li><li>Sometimes while driving we focus so much on the review mirror that we forget to focus on the front windshield. Relate this with your life situation.</li></ul>

Perspective is everything.

<ul><li>Experiences themselves are neutral until we start to give them meaning.</li><li>What may be a great tragedy to you could be a wake-up call for me to take my life into hands and thrive.</li><li>This is called "Reframing" to change the perspective that one has of an event.</li></ul>Take for an example:<ul><li>How do you feel if you say, " I failed terribly in my last relationship?</li><li>Now try saying, "I learned so much from my last relationship, I'm sure I will not make the same mistakes again!" Can you feel the difference?</li></ul>

"Reframing"

<ul><li>Each one of us sees the world through the lenses of their own beliefs.</li><li>We don't see the world how it is, but how we were conditioned to see it.</li><li>Beliefs are like a self-fulfilling prophecy.</li><li>Your beliefs influence your emotions, your emotions influence your actions and your actions influence your RESULTS.</li><li>I want you to realize that life doesn't just happen to you! It's a reflection of your beliefs, thoughts and expectations.</li></ul>

30 Days - Change Your Habits, Change Your Life Personal Workbook

30 Days

What you really need is a system for doing work. A lot of people shy away from routines, systems and frameworks because they want to have "freedom."I am sorry to disappoint you: Freedom is your enemy. The fact is that, if you want to get things done you need rules.

Willpower Doesn‘t Work. Systems Do.

<ol><li>Self-imposed deadlines.</li><li>Accountability systems ( Commitment with friends, or a coach).</li><li>Working/studying in intervals.</li><li>Exercising 30 minutes a day.</li><li>A healthy diet.</li><li>Eliminating distractions.</li><li>And most importantly: Internal motivation.</li></ol>

Some effective tips to destroy procrastination

The deadlines create urgency, accountability will create responsibility, working in intervals improves your focus, exercising will give you more energy, so does a healthy diet, and eliminating distractions will take away the temptations. But there's no system that can help you if you don't have an inner drive.

Right productivity tactics.

<ul><li>Slacking is an attitude of "I don't care". But if you want to make things happen in your life, you have to care.</li><li>And what you want is to find a middle ground where your perfectionistic tendencies drive you, but you have the calm of a slacker, and you combine that with leader resourcefulness.</li></ul>

Find balance between a perfectionist and slacking mind set.

<ol><li>Focus determines the quality of your life.</li><li>No focus means no control of your attention.</li><li>And No control means Frustration.</li><li>We all know what frustration leads to.</li><li>So start managing attention. Not your time.</li></ol>
