Stinkin' Thinkin'

Greetings!


As we talk more about having a Vision of the future you want and the actions to get you there, we need to talk for a moment about your mindset. The key to your energy level and excitement to get things done is a motivated mindset. So this week, we need to AVOID Stinkin' Thinkin'!

Stinkin' Thinkin' is a phrase I borrow from Zig Ziglar, a famous motivational speaker. It should be obvious that it simply means a bad attitude and mental state. As humans, we are ALL guilty of having a negative outlook from time to time. It is so vital, however; to have the abiltiy to avoid a bad mindset and to work ourselves out of one when it happens.

One good piece of advice is to Read, Listen, and Watch things that keep you motivated DAILY! If you are always putting positivity in, it's harder for negativity to have a chance to get started. Another tip would be to surround yourself with positive, goal oriented people REGULARLY. (This one is easy! Just hit the Mats!)
It's so much easier to have high energy and an optimistic point of view when you MAKE A POINT to have one!

So what should you do when you get in a bad mood? The more we focus on what's negative in our life, it's easy to feel down in the dumps. It can start to feel like nothing goes well for you and everything is going wrong. The good new is our strategy for staying positive is very similar to recapturing it. It is so important to "download" positive ideas when you are this state of mind. Now, more than ever, you need to get inspired. Read, Listen,  and Watch things that make you HAPPY AND ENERGIZED. Talk to people who help you remember all the positive things in your life. Remember this phrase, "Enthusiasm is contagious, and so is a lack of it!" Surround yourself with entusiasm until it rubs off on you!

On our journey to be successful, we have to learn to gain Control of OURSELVES. What and how we think. It truely is the key factor to us taking the ACTIONS we need to take to help our VISIONS come to reality!

This week, make a point to AVOID Stinkin' Thinkin' at ALL COSTS!


I truely hope you gained some benefit from this today!

ALL THE BEST!
