Some people have asked me if me if I ever get down, frustrated or challenged… my answer has been “OF COURSE” LOL. They ask how I deal with it in order to stay positive. I speak to my students about the concept of RESETTING. There are a number of steps in it, but I will share just one for now:
The other night I was confronted with some disturbing news and the result was I didn’t sleep well. When I woke up in the morning I was still lamenting. As a result I couldn’t concentrate. I felt numb. I decided to take a TIME OUT. I turned off my phone and computer. I plugged in the movie The MATRIX. As I watched Neo transform from being a simple guy to becoming “The ONE”.. I got inspired. The lessons he learned from Morpheus were also inspiring. The more I watched, the better I felt. By the time I was done I felt RE-CHARGED! I got back to work and it became a very productive day. There are times when you need to cut the world off and take some time for yourself to get recalibrated. There are times I go on “read-athons”, watch inspiring “video-athons”, or listen to inspiring “audio-athons”. Sometimes I listen to inspiring music. The point is that I indulge in an exercise that shifts my focus from negatives to something positive and constructive. When you FEEL better you DO BETTER.
All of us have down moments. The goal is to avoid having down HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS & YEARS! When you realize that happiness is a choice, and that we are in control of where we focus our energy and our thoughts. It is liberating. You can DECIDE to no longer be a prisoner of circumstances, but rather a champion of life. Let’s go claim our championship trophy. We deserve it. Try some of the techniques I have shared and let me know how it goes. I hope this helped someone today. Have a POWERFUL Day!
