Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

By applying today's Motivating Mindset you will live with less stress, more fun and generally feel better about yourself.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"Who Am I Now" or asked differently... "How Does This Build Me"


THE PROMISE

Do this every day for this week and the promise is that you will build a person that you are proud to look back at in the mirror.


THE TIPS

Asking the question "Who Am I Now?" or "How Does This Build Me?" is a question that can be asked whenever you become aware of a situation.

Becoming aware of a situation occurs whenever you notice your behaviour or thoughts.

The goal is to bring awareness to the choices that you have in your life, everyday and in every moment.

Before you eat your favorite calorie filled breakfast or before you decide to skip breakfast ask yourself "Who Am I Now?"

Before you pull out another cigarette from your pack, ask yourself "How Does This Build Me?"

The more you practice asking yourself these tough questions the more you will begin to give yourself permission to find the hard answers.

Finding the hard answers will inevitably build you up.

Skipping the hard answers will eventually tear you down.

You have a choice to decide which answer you will settle for.


THE SECRET

Choose the easy path and you are destined to live a hard life, one that only becomes noticeable the further you travel along.

Choose the seemingly hard path and you will find that life becomes easier as you go along.

The path is only seemingly hard because it is an illusion.

See past this illusion enough to act with blind faith and your prayers, desires and dreams will be answered.

Seeing past this illusion requires you to bravely and courageously respond to situations rather than react.

When you react to a situation you are not fully present in the moment.

When you respond to a situation it is because you are operating from the moment.

Before you react to a situation that has you emotionally charged, take a moment to ask yourself

"Who Am I Now" or asked differently... "How Does This Build Me"

Try asking yourself this question during every thought or reactive behaviour you become aware of.

At the end of the day if you have asked yourself the question more than twice give yourself a big hug, high five and pat on the back.

Be happy to ask yourself the question. The answers, real concrete answers, will come in time. Be patient.

If you were brave enough to find the answer that has enabled your response in a situation, congratulations send us your story to share!
