Mind Power Mastery
⟩
It Starts With the Mind
⟩
In order to get what you want, you need to take responsibility for your current situation
You need to recognize that you have the ability to change and you need to stop blaming outside factors
⟩
Until you take responsibility, you can only ever let life ‘happen’ to you
Your mindset controls the way you perceive events.
⟩
Your gratitude can be the difference between loving the life you have and feeling tired and destitute
Many of our problems can be boiled down to flaws in our thinking and our approach
⟩
Many of us are lazy.
We are tired.
We are stressed.
We are overworked.
We don’t take responsibility.
Mind and Emotions
⟩
One of the most important aspects of being able to control your mindset, is being able to take control over your emotions.
State of mind and emotion are largely inseparable.
⟩
And can help you tap into wells of power…
The beserkers gained incredible strength from rage
Hysterical strength gives you strength from fear
A ‘flow state’ is often considered to be the peak of human performance
Creativity comes from relaxation
Our emotions are largely dictated by our physiology.
⟩
Hunger makes you stressed and angry
Tiredness makes you low.
Illness causes brain fog.
Even hot/cold can impact on your performance
You can change your emotion by changing your physiology
And by focussing on the right things – by choosing your reactions to events
Mindset and Focus
⟩
Your focus can change everything – to see any change you need to make consistent effort
Your focus is determined by two streams:
⟩
Dorsal
Ventral
⟩
These control our conscious an unconscious attention and are driven by emotion
You can regain control of these by blocking out the dorsal stream
Remember your ‘why’ focus on the vision that motivates you emotionally and connect what you are doing now to that motivation
Mindset and Wealth
⟩
Recognize that your wealth and your income are separate
Know what it is that you consider wealth. What do you want from life? Where is the most important place to spend your money?
⟩
Consider that in order to live your ‘dream life’ you don’t need to buy a big house necessarily and you may not need to get a higher salary
Aim to earn the money slowly. You need consistent effort and patience to get what you want – find small ways to save
Mindset and Goals
⟩
Recognize the difference between a goal, a vision and a plan.
Don’t tell people your goals: this actually removes some of the impetus to chase after them!
Use your vision for motivation
But break your plan down into tiny granular steps
Take small, positive steps every single day. Make these steps your ‘true goals’
⟩
Work out every day
Or write a page of a book every day
Mindset and Body
⟩
Learn the HUGE connection between your mind and body
We’ve seen already the link between physiology and emotion and mental state
But there is also a link between the very way you think and your body.
⟩
Embodied cognition states that we think using our bodies.
Better health therefore means better, mindset by far.
Getting Healthy…
⟩
Don’t be on a diet, being on a diet suggests that you will one day be ‘off’ a diet
⟩
This is a permanent lifestyle change
The most important part of any diet is that it is sustainable and it fits in your lifestyle
Don’t train too hard, too fast
⟩
If you start running for instance, the objective should be simply to learn to enjoy your fitness
The single most important part of a new fitness regime is that you stick with it. Even the worst regime will do something if you are consistent
The goal is not to get abs over night – it is to improve your health in a sustainable manner. Start with better health. Better sleep. Better nutrition.
Change Your Mind
⟩
Real happiness comes from loving what you have now
And loving what is to come
Live for the now
Believe that: you’re never too old to be what you always wanted to be
Meditate
Practice stoicism
Adopt a gratitude mindset
Learn you can weather the storm
