Tips for Thriving in Uncertainty
1.Clearly define what inspires you.
There's a big difference between taking action out of inspiration versus
desperation.
Use this season as an opportunity to hibernate into the recesses
of your own mind and define what you choose to create in your next spring.
2.Control your focus.
Energy flows where attention goes. Are you focusing on lack or
opportunity?
3. Feed your mind.
What's your constant mental diet? Do you spend hours in front of the scare
news or are you reading good books, attending more positive seminars,
watching uplifting DVDs and listening to powerful CDs?
4. Strengthen your body.
Your physical health and vitality have a tremendous impact on your
performance as well as your mental and emotional fitness. Exercise
releases stress as well as strengthen your body and mind.
5. Inventory your friends.
Doom and gloom attracts more doom and gloom. Jettison those "energy
vampires" and skip those "ain't it awful" conversations around you and surround yourself with people of hope, vision and resilience.
6. Quiet your mind.
Take time to meditate daily and to slow down if only for a few minutes.
Ten to fifteen minutes of meditation will relieve hours of stress and
increase creativity and resourcefulness.
7. Rid your life of escapist activities.
Overindulgence in TV, sleep and alcohol only accelerate the problems
you're attempting to avoid. Fill your day with activities that energize and inspire you.
8. Make a daily gratitude list.
Focusing on all the good, gifts and grace in your life puts you in the right
line of thought, feeling and their subsequent actions, which will attract
and create more good, gifts and grace.
9. Change your attitude.
Realize that everything that's happened in your life thus far is here to
serve you, teach you and help you grow. Find the lessons in your past
results, forgive yourself for anything you could have done better and
apply the lesson to move forward and create a better future.
10. Get resourceful.
Sometime in the next two weeks, take three days and go to a place where you can have uninterrupted
time. Come up with 20 new ideas to grow your income, create new results
and improve your life. You cannot leave your spot until you have twenty ideas.
And no editing! All ideas are good ideas. Do this for three successive
days with 20 new ideas each day.
Now take your list of 60 unique ideas and pick the three to five most
powerful and leveraged ones to put into action. Pick these three to five
based on: ease of implementation, rate of return and speed of return.
And so during this winter season, remember: It's
not about resources... there are plenty of them. It's about resourcefulness.
Get resourceful and get busy.
