Unlock your innate power
SUCCESS STARTS WITH MANAGING YOUR MIND
Your THOUGHTS generate your FEELINGS which drive your ACTIONS which create your RESULT.
So if you don’t like the RESULT you produce, you first need to understand what THOUGHTS that creates it.
It’s called the Model of life:
Circumstance - always neutral
Thought - gives our circumstances a positive or negative meaning
Feeling - generated by our thoughts about our circumstance
Actions - driven by our emotions
Results - created from our actions or non actions
FROM OVERWHELMED TO IN CONTROL
FROM OVERWHELMED TO IN CONTROL
I caught myself a few weeks ago, not wanting to get out of bed. Mondays are usually my favourite day as it’s a fresh start, full of new opportunities but this morning I was hitting snooze, scrolling my phone and just could not find the motivation to get up.
I dragged myself to open the laptop and got hit with 86 unread emails, a full calendar, g-chats blinking and tasks that were due. I could feel my throat tighten and my heart racing. I felt apathetic.
For a good 15 min I was just staring at my screen, not knowing where to begin. I completed the morning huddle, then I just sat there staring out through the window.
I was feeling overwhelmed, not from everything that was on my plate but from the feeling of having lost control. The truth was that I did not know the status of the different projects that I was working on. My priorities had all been mashed together.
