It's Magic! 3/5/17

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." - Albert Einstein

It's easy to fall into unconstructive behavior when your mind is running on default and frustration pulls you out of a routine and down the rabbit hole.  While operating in default has its benefits, the process will never serve you as an effective habit.
It's simple to course correct and return the brain's thoughts back to positivity by developing a magic muscle.  What is that and how does one go about accomplishing this act?
It's simple when you pull out a few magic tricks. Remember, you are the ringleader of your own circus.  In order to maintain an efficient day, having systems and habits in place allows you to fall into a default mode while interruptions disappear.
Here are two behaviors you can employ immediately:
Trick your brain  by subjecting it to a positive insight.   The world is rigged in my favor."  Say it with conviction, believe it is possible and you will achieve it.  Reinforce this belief throughout the day.  Recognize that every interruption, delay or inconvenience is designed to get you to the end goal.
Flip the question. When you flip the question, you'll discover an immediate solution to the challenge. "Why am I stuck in this deli line" becomes, "I am stuck in this line because to gives me 5 minutes to read and respond to an email." 
The real trick is not magic but a realization that removing negative views will free up energy allowing us to focus on solutions and achieve goals.   
Let's make it a great day!

Monday, June 25, 2018 Your thoughts control your destiny! "Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become  your destiny." - Mahatma Gandhi We tend to put a much higher premium on action than we do thought.  Though we've all heard the old adage, " it's the thought that counts ." Everyone knows that just thinking about something isn't the same as doing it.  Even people who get paid to think have to communicate those thoughts so that someone can act upon them.   However, your thoughts have more influence on your life than you might think. Yes, without action your thoughts may not be worth much, but in reality, it doesn't take much for your thoughts t

is fall in love with your work. Monday, June 4, 2018 Let’s Hear It For Monday! Thank goodness it’s Monday!  Yes, you read that right.  Many an innocent school child has said, “ Mondays are terrible, why do they have to be at the beginning of the week ”?  Unfortunately, children are not alone in this belief.  However, as children they don’t understand the concept of having control over how we view our circumstances.  It’s up to us to change the script and see the first day of the workweek in a new light. Here’s a new habit that will get you excited about Mondays and looking forward to the rest of the week: Treat yourself to one new personal risk. When writing out your list of goals for the week, make a point to set one aggressive personal goal such as; experimenting with a new recipe, reading a book or mastering a new exercise technique.  The point of this exercise is to provide you motivation during the week to pursue an interest that you enjoy.
