We may not have control over outcomes or the actions of others, but we absolutely have control over our attitude, and OUR ATTITUDE DETERMINES OUR ALTITUDE.

“It is done unto you as you believe.”

”As a man thinketh, SO IS HE.”

Our perception of things is very important.  It is everything.  WE RENDER OUR REALITIES ACCORDING TO OUR ATTITUDES OF MIND.  Our perceptions and beliefs alter the hormones and chemicals that are constantly being released into our blood stream, which creates our mood, which continues to reinforce our thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs.  We FEEL things into creation, and project what is inside of us outwards, onto the screen of life.  We render our reality as if it were a virtual game.  WE determine our actions, and reactions, in every moment throughout our daily lives, which designs, creates, and manifests our destiny.

Interestingly, the subconscious and The Reticular Activating System (RAS) both hear AND BELIEVE each and EVERY thing we think and say, then look for anything, and everything, that will support the words or ideas and MAKE THEM OUR TRUTH.  Content is SO important, but even more important, is the actual SOURCE of the content.  WE get to choose the content we focus on.  As we do, what we focus on most continuously unfolds and manifests.

Google Mark Dawes Reticular Activating System for a short and highly informative video on the RAS.

Reminder to self:  Believe, know, and remember, that you are someone great.  You are worthwhile.  You are amazing and unique.  You are strong.  You are smart.  You are exactly what you tell yourself you are.  Pay attention to what you tell yourself you are, all day long, every day, for that is what you will become more of.

Today I will make a list of everything good that I am and that I want to be.  I will start the list with,

I AM:

Why our perceptions are SO INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT:

In order to quickly and easily accomplish them, it is useful if we re-commit to our goals, each and every day.  We NEED to re-focus on what we want daily, repetitively, and consistently, in order to actually achieve what we want, become more of who we want to be, and continue to progress, improve, expand, and evolve.  If we don’t, we will be bombarded with the distractions of every-day life, left at the end of it all wondering what happened, and curious as to where all the time went.

We can choose, each and every day, to re-commit to being the best version of our self we can possibly be for today.  It is through small, easy, incremental steps, one day at a time, that we will be capable of experiencing even more.  

I think that consistency is more important than intensity, but they are both important.

A consistent morning routine, which eventually becomes a habit that is automated and easy to accomplish, may just be the key to it ALL.  When we wake up, immediately focused on WHAT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON AND PROGRAM OUR MINDS WITH FOR THE DAY, it is MUCH more likely to serve and empower us, than if we wake up, spend the morning rushed and stressed, running late, and REACTING to every day life, rather than CREATING it.

All work and no play may make Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work makes Jack an unsuccessful, lazy, and dependent drain on family and society, which ABSOLUTELY will eventually lead to depression, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, and possibly even suicide.  I know this from personal experience.  I have been that pitiful, weak, undisciplined version of Jack.  I think it is much more enjoyable to find our balance or our middle ground, in which we are able to operate most effectively, and really learn how to take care of ourselves.  What is the alternative?  Is that alternate reality of imbalance, pain, suffering, and unhappiness, really anything that ANY of us TRULY, continuously want to continuously experience?  For years I wanted to die to escape the suffering of life, but in retrospect I now realize I just wanted the suffering to end.  I had to learn how to make that happen, and if I can learn that, ANYONE can.

We can use our goals and our daily routines and rituals as tools to keep moving.

Keep at them!  Make them a habit.  Keep doing the hard things and experiencing the discomfort of growth until it is easy and comfortable, and then get REALLY relentless, and DO IT SOME MORE.

YOUR BEST IS YET TO COME

-The Universe

Today I will review my goals and re-focus on them, ensuring that EVERYTHING I do today, and EVERYTHING I choose to think about and focus on will bring me closer to achieving them.

Every day I will strive to be the best version of myself I can possibly be.

Hard work is one of the major keys to success.

Some of the greatest advice I’ve been given:

• “Work hard, and work smart.”
• “Pray like it all depends on God, then work like it all depends on you.”

Success leaves clues.  When we take a good look at successful people, we realize this is true.  We all have a different idea of what “Success” is, so look at someone who is your idea of success.  What do they do?  What do they not do?  What books do they read?  What foods do they eat?  We can break their day down into hourly increments.  Are there patterns they follow, certain things they get done daily, no matter what?  What is their exercise routine?  What are their habits?

Hard Work + Discipline + Consistency = Goals Accomplished

We can choose to stay focused and keep going.  Success takes time, discipline, clarity, patience, an excellent set of beliefs, good habits, consistency, and a whole lot of hard work.  We can have anything we want to have if we work hard enough and smart enough for it.  We can be anything we want to be.

Today I will work hard, no matter what I am doing, and I will do it to the best of my ability.

Sometimes we complicate things by thinking too much instead of simply and quickly taking action.  Sometimes we try to accomplish too many things at the same time, or all at one time.  This is overwhelming for anyone.  Multitasking has now been proven to be highly ineffective for most people.

Consistent, daily routines helps immensely.

IF YOU WIN THE MORNING,

YOU WIN THE ENTIRE DAY.

IT’S ALL ABOUT MOMENTUM.

The Goodinthehead Habit-Hacking Challenge

KISS stands for Keep It Super Simple.  By focusing only on one thing at a time we can give each thing we think about, and each thing we do, our full attention. If we want to accomplish or be successful at anything, with the least amount of stress, anxiety, and frustration, and do it as quickly and as best we can, taking one thing at a time is the key.

The thing(s) we want can be HUGE.  We can and should dream big at all times.  What we want can seem impossible to accomplish.  That is okay!  All we need to do is break it down into simple, easy, manageable, consistent, daily, bite-size, chew-able pieces.  We can make a daily checklist.  We can choose to focus on one thing at a time.  We can give it our all, and keep at it, and achieve great things for ourselves and our loved ones!  KISS (Keeping It Super Simple) is a great tool to utilize to do this.

CONSISTENT ACTION, no matter how great or small, is a useful way how greatness can be achieved.  It has worked for SO MANY OTHERS.  THIS is how potential becomes reality.  We can think about what we want, wish for it, repeat affirmations, believe it will be attracted to us, and remain hopeful and positive-but without ACTION it will not happen.

As human beings, to BE better we must DO better.

This life is an opportunity to constantly upgrade what we DO.  Each action we take, or DON’T take, results in an outcome.  If we want better outcomes, we need to first habituate taking better actions.  To KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE, helps!

Today I will remember to KISS.  I will make it a habit to only focus on only ONE thing at a time, pouring ALL of my focus, concentration, efforts, and energy, into MASTERING that one thing, slowly but surely. 

Every day I will strive to be the best version of myself I can possibly be.

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our realities.

I think it is important to remember to focus on our goals and what we want to accomplish each and every day.  The more we focus on something the better we get at it.  Our CONSISTENT actions don’t just express our priorities-they also expose our FOCUS.

If we want to be incredible at something, it is necessary that we intensify our focus on it.  When we made our goals, we decided to commit to WHAT we wanted to focus on, because we believed it would serve a particular purpose in our lives, optimizing our lives in some ways that WE wanted.  Is is time to recommit?  Is it time to refocus?

I think it is important for us to remember to always focus on that which we want instead of that which we don’t want.  If we choose to focus on and think about the good, positive, helpful, fulfilling, beautiful, and wonderful things we want in our lives, pretty soon that will completely fill and consistently occupy our minds.  It will become all we can think about, talk about, and all that we will work towards accomplishing.  We will focus on these things so much and so often, that thinking about the bad, dis-empowering, negative, unhelpful, useless, ineffective, anxiety-producing, fear-producing things, will be impossible.  We just won’t have the time or energy for it!  That which we don’t focus on anymore will simply fall away due to our lack of attention which used to energize and perpetuate it.

I LOVE what Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches in his Ted Talk.  A REPEATED thought recruits neurons from other thoughts, in order to continue to exist.  After consistent, repeated thinking patterns are practiced for long enough, the old thoughts, along with the actual physical trunks of neurons that empowered those thoughts, grow weaker.  ALL of the neurons are recruited elsewhere, and the old thought patterns, old characteristics, old beliefs, old habits, and old personality traits, all disappear, giving way to the NEW ones.  The thoughts that are neglected and malnourished then weaken and disappear.

WE CAN LITERALLY RECREATE ANY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES THROUGH INTENSE FOCUS, REPETITIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS, AND CONSISTENT PRACTICE.

ENERGY FLOWS

WHERE ATTENTION GOES.

To create and manifest the life we want and deserve, consistent focus is REQUIRED.  We can choose to focus ONLY on what we DO WANT in our lives.  What we repeatedly think about and focus upon, is usually what tends to keep showing up in our lives.  For how long should we focus ONLY on what we WANT?  For as long as it takes.

Earl Nightingale offers an incredibly useful idea: keep the main goal we have on a card we carry around with us every day, reading it OFTEN throughout each day, reprogramming our subconscious mind through repetition to constantly refocus on what we want to keep working towards.

 

Today I will be mindful.  I will reflect upon where I am consistently putting the majority of my thoughts, focus, and energy. I will do this throughout my entire day, even if I need to set an hourly reminder on my phone, or an alarm.  Is what I am thinking about and focusing on going to help me accomplish my goals and create the exact life I want?

Every day I will strive to be the best version of myself I can possibly be.

I think it is important to do what we want to do every single day before or after we do what we have to do.  I think doing BOTH of these things is even BETTER, as it energizes us and keeps life exciting as we enjoy doing what we WANT to, WHILE we do what we HAVE to in order to keep the bills paid and survive.  Sometimes this means waking up extra early to do things for ourselves before we start the mundane activities of the day.  Sometimes it means staying up just a little later, pushing through the exhaustion to complete a task.

Creating, and following a uniquely personalized daily routine to fill our cup up to the point of overflowing and contributing to others, can be one of the best practices we could ever adopt.

ALWAYS do what LIGHTS YOU UP!

If what we want to do will help someone in any way, it is that much more important for us to get into the habit of doing what we want to do every single day.

This is how we continuously live a fulfilling life.  This is how we do not lose our self or forget who we are.  This is how we protect our energy, rather than continuously depleting it, slaving away at creating someone else’s dream.  This is how we grow our souls, especially if doing what we want to do is helping others.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will decide to do what I enjoy, and as I do, I will incorporate a way to help others in some way.  I will make sure to work on MY dream, DAILY.

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our realities.

Every single one of us will experience some kind of loss in our lives.  As a result, we all experience the sadness and grief from a real sense of loss.  All of us, no matter where in the world we are, have this one thing in common that connects us and intertwines our lives.  We can all relate to one another on this level.

The grieving process is difficult but necessary.  We all have to go through it sooner or later.  It is a natural part of this human life.  The more effectively we are able to grieve, the healthier, happier, more resilient, and strong we will become, even after EXTREME loss.  We will heal more quickly and be in a place to help others do the same. 

The revised 7 stages of grief are:

1. Shock-Initial paralysis at hearing the bad news.
2. Denial-Trying to avoid the inevitable.
3. Anger-Frustrated outpouring of bottled up emotion-some of which isn’t even related to the current circumstance.
4. Bargaining-Seeking in vain for a way out of the grief.
5. Depression-Final realization of the inevitable.
6. Testing-Seeking realistic solutions.
7. Acceptance-Finally finding the way forward.

It is OK to feel any or all of these feelings at any time.  Feelings are a normal part of life and we don’t ever have to feel guilty or ashamed of our feelings.  Our difficult times help us appreciate the good times that much more when they are there.

I think it is important to learn to treat every day as if it could be our last.  It very well could be.  When we leave the house, or hang up the phone or say goodbye to anyone, we can choose to realize and remember it might be the last time.  We can choose to make it count.  By choosing to habituate and automate ALWAYS being as genuine, authentic, real, honest, transparent, and open, as we possibly can, we will be giving others the best of ourselves at all times, hopefully leaving behind a beautiful legacy of connection, acceptance, empathy, and love.

When I lose a loved one and am grieving, I often replay the last moments or the last conversation I had with them and pay attention to how that makes me feel.  This helps me to remind myself each day to give others my best, each and every moment, no matter the situation.  Remembering that each moment could very well be our last, helps me remember who I want to consistently show up in the world as.

We can learn how to grieve effectively.  We can talk with others who have gone through devastating, horrific losses, and ask for their help or advice in our own healing.  I think we would all be shocked, surprised, and completely in awe of some of the things people have lost, come back from, and eventually healed through.

Grief counseling and groups are a wonderful way to heal and learn how to heal.  I’ll be honest.  At first, opening up to strangers is uncomfortable, and even difficult, but my most magical, empowering moments have come from doing just that, and realizing the truth of the fact that I am NOT alone in my pain, anguish, and sorrow.  When we are courageous and vulnerable enough to share with others, we provide the opportunity for others to do the same, and the load we ALL bear is lifted, shared, and diminished, THROUGH the process of sharing.  I still don’t know exactly HOW it works.  I just know that it does, and I am grateful for that.

It also helps to ensure we are surrounded by accepting, kind, empathetic, helpful, empowering people, with our greater good in mind.  Some of us may not have this environment in our homes, or in our personal lives, YET, but we can begin creating this safe environment for ourselves, TODAY.  THIS is the magic of an organized group of people.  A support group can teach us how to better do this.  We cannot be what we cannot see, and sometimes it takes mingling with total strangers to see what healing and beauty is possible for US.

It may not be for everyone, but I think experimenting with ANYTHING that might help is a useful practice.

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will act as if it is the last day I will live and I will let the important people in my life know just how important they are to me, with my words and with my actions.

Ram dass, through the YouTube podcast, BE HERE NOW, has empowered me to work through and better understand death and dying, fully grieving the loss of loved ones, and seeing life in a totally different set of ways.  Because of him, I have been blessed to experiment with, and enjoy, many different ways of believing and BEING.  I highly recommend subscribing to, and listening to, this podcast OFTEN.

Every little thing, over time, eventually becomes a big thing.  Small things stack up and compound to produce LARGE results.  This is especially true when it comes to our diet, which DIRECTLY AFFECTS our mental and physical health.  Changing one small eating habit, over time, can completely change and improve our mental and physical health, the appearance of our body, our hormone levels, and even our brain chemistry!  What we eat determines the amount of inflammation that occurs in our bodies and our brains.

I know this to be true from personal experience, because I went from extremely fit, healthy, and energetic, to extremely overweight and fat, lethargic, devoid of energy, unhealthy, and extremely depressed, simply by neglecting my healthy habits and slowly replacing those habits with ones which I allowed to slowly, methodically, destroy my life.  Eventually, I spent 15 years taking mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medications, and antidepressants to deal with the results of my lack of knowledge and discipline.

Drew Manning, the man behind Fit2Fat2Fit, is someone I began to follow and learn from after watching his helpful, empowering interview on the YouTube show, HEALTH THEORY.  Just go to YouTube, and type this into the search engine:  Drew Manning Health Theory.  You won’t regret it!

It takes months to realize the change.  In 2014, I shed 60 pounds and kept it off after watching the documentary FED UP.  I lost the weight by going off all medications, changing what I chose to eat, cutting out most of the sugars and carbohydrates from my diet, and only drinking water.  At first it was miserable, and certainly less enjoyable, but I started to feel great, then fell back into old habits, and once I started eating and drinking what I wanted again, the weight started to come back, and so did the ugly way I felt.  I quickly reverted back to the healthier eating and drinking habits, and slowly but surely the weight came back off, and I started to feel great again!

We are in control!  We are in control of every single thing we ingest.
I had an extreme weakness towards, and an addiction to, sugar.  If it was in the house, I would eventually eat or drink it, usually when I was tired, sad, weak, in physical pain, or frustrated.  It’s normal to  feel like this sometimes.  We all do.  I literally have had to make sure it isn’t readily available, because when I am tired, sad, weak, in physical pain, or frustrated, I am also too lazy to go out and get the sugar.  This is a helpful trick I learned to set myself up for success, instead of failure, in this one area of my life.  It has made all the difference in the world.

One thing I have learned on this journey is that when I consume protein, it alleviates my sugar cravings.  Now, even on a bad day, I no longer turn to sugars for immediate comfort.  And another helpful thing: taking 4X the recommended dose of amino acids every day for three weeks after cutting out sugars alleviates or at least lessens the effects of withdrawals!  This is a SUPER useful tool that makes it easier to stop using all kinds of substances.

Today I will make the time to watch, listen to, read, or focus on, content about healthier eating habits.  I know that if I improve this ONE area of my life, it will directly affect ALL other areas of my life, including my mental, emotional, spiritual, physical, chemical, hormonal health, and even my financial capabilities and the level of enjoyment in life.

 HEALTH THEORY on YouTube has many helpful shows and interviews on this topic.

​

Over time we can look back and see how all of the small things stacked, and became something quite large when they added up.

CONSISTENCY COMPOUNDS

Isn’t it incredible what we can create with hard work, consistency, and momentum?  Isn’t it incredible to see that the opposite can so quickly and easily also be true.  We can create ANYTHING with consistent hard work and discipline, or we can destroy anything through consistent neglect.

Sticking to that well thought out meal plan every single day for months can and will result in lost inches off our waistline, a younger, better, and healthier body, and a reason to go shopping for new and great looking clothes!

Adding just 10 minutes of reading quotes from our favorites folder on our phone to our daily routine, every day for months, while we eat breakfast, can and will alter and reprogram our minds, until we morph into a more incredible, interesting, ideal version of our inner self, all the while projecting a personal reality that directly corresponds and correlates to that new, inner version of self onto the virtual canvas of life, thereby creating a physical representation and reality to match!

Deciding to do planks and stretches after work every day can and will result in a six pack and flexibility which hasn’t been experienced in years, or maybe even EVER!

Consistency + Time = Change

We can choose to do something we know will be good for us every single day.  We will look back in a year’s time and be amazed at the changes that have taken place if we do.  We will also look back in a year’s time and be amazed at the changes that have taken place if we do not.  NOTHING STAYS THE SAME.  WE ARE DESTINED FOR EXPANSION AND GROWTH.  It is our suffering due to neglect that proves this.  

I highly recommend the audio books, ATOMIC HABITS, by James Clear, and THE POWER OF HABIT, by Charles Duhigg.  These books offer inspiring ideas that make habits more easily achieved.  Another great book is THE COMPOUND EFFECT, by Darren Hardy.

We are in control of our own, constant, personal re-creation process.  Every little decision to do or not to do something will compound over time and benefit us or destroy us.  We must remember to choose wisely.  We are in control.  We are the creators of our own existence and reality.

EVERYTHING starts on the inside.  My favorite teaching from Wayne Dyer is this:  WHEN WE CHANGE THE WAY WE LOOK AT THINGS, THE THINGS WE LOOK AT CHANGE.  I have found this to be true in my life.

We literally project out onto the canvas of life EVERYTHING we believe, and by so doing, WE RENDER OUR REALITIES.  As we upgrade our belief systems, WE UPGRADE OUR REALITIES.  Google The goodinthehead Beliefs Project.  It’s a great place to get started!

One of the most amazing teachers I have chosen to follow and listen to on a daily basis is Jim Rohn.  Just plug his name into the YouTube search engine and see what happens!  Research his life story and the wisdom he has shared through books he wrote.  Doing this has altered my life completely, and shot me onto a completely different, more empowering trajectory in life than I have ever before experienced.  His mentor was John Earl Shoaff.  I highly recommend listening to ANY content that has been put out featuring these men.

Quotes, words, ideas, and beliefs, are all seeds, ready to be planted in the garden of our minds.  It is only through CONSISTENCY AND REPETITION that these seeds will someday become something capable of producing a crop.  THE SOURCE OF OUR SEEDS IS EVERYTHING.  

Today’s challenge for myself:  Today I will start doing something easy, that I can do every single day, that I know will bring about a positive change in my life.  (For ideas, google The goodinthehead Habit-Hacking Challenge.)

Remember:  Mindset matters.  Character counts.  That which we choose to consistently focus on is what EXPANDS in our lives.  WE CREATE our realities.

Our inner voice is the most important voice we will ever listen to.  There are others in our life it is important to listen to as well.  We can realize there are some people in our lives who can be great mentors and a huge inspiration and help to us in our lives.  We can listen to what they have to say if we have decided they have our best interest at heart.

In a world with SO many people in it, it is certain that at least ONE of these people have successfully navigated through ANY difficulty that we are currently going through.  There will ALWAYS be someone we can seek out for advice or help.  This person can be a temporary coach, mentor, and an empowerment leader for us, any time we choose!

Other people have created an abundant life of wealth, happiness, excellent health, and love, and if anyone else can learn to do these things, WE CAN, TOO!   MANY of these people will jump at the chance to pay it forward, and teach you all they know about creating such a life, as they realize and remember how much help THEY had, from coaches and mentors, all along the way.
I think it is important to remember that everyone is human.  We all get down.  We all get tired.  We are all trying our best!  It is SO important that we keep going, and keep doing what we are doing, keeping hope in our hearts and minds that things can and will get better.  THEY ALWAYS DO.

We can ask ourselves:  AM I COACHABLE?  Do I have a desire and a willingness to learn?  Can I learn about something, and realize that there are so many layers to it that I will NEVER actually, “Get it?”  Am I able to remain humble enough to KEEP learning, improving, growing, expanding, constantly upgrading, and evolving?  Am I able to avoid the SUPERIORITY TRAP, and avoid thinking I am better, smarter, more than, or superior to others?

Today I will find at least one person or someone in my life that I want to be like, who has everything I want to have, and ask them how they did it.  I will listen to them.   If I can’t find anyone whose life I would like to emulate, I will find someone successful at what I want to be successful at on Social Media to research and emulate.  I will commit to ALWAYS remaining coachable and willing to learn, and remember that there will ALWAYS be something I don’t know.
