Champion Mindset
Mindset is the foundation for changing our lives and achieving our dreams.
10 ways that you can consistently move through life.
1. Smile – Happy people smile often, even if it's that inner smile of gratitude – smile more. Science is finally confirming what we already knew; the more you smile, the better you will feel about yourself. Smiling activates chemicals in your body which assist you in feeling better.
2. Make decisions – the more proactive you are about your life, the more alive you will feel. Proactive, engaged people make more decisions every day. Think about it – if you only make one or two decisions, then they are really going to play on your mind and be important. If you make dozens of decisions every day then you are not going to notice when some of them don't pay off or get the result you want
3. Make mistakes – be willing to make mess! People who aim to get everything right invariably end up doing very little, because they perceive far too much risk in action. If you see all mistakes as feedback for how you can do things better next time, you will be willing to make a mess. Give up the pursuit of perfection.
4. Have more play – see your life and choices as play and you will experience it differently. The more seriously you take everything, the less opportunities you will see when they come along – you'll be too busy focusing on how things "should" and "need" to be.
5. Be generous – the more value you give to others, the better you will feel about yourself. Contribution beyond yourself is one sure-fire way to love yourself and your life.
6. Raise your standards – the key to great living is to expect and demand more of yourself. The better you get at this, the better your quality of life will be. Life is not about "getting by" or results being "good enough". Play at a higher level especially when the going is tough!
7. Challenge yourself every day – never settle for what's "close enough". Don't settle, because this will slowly erode your results, and then your confidence.
8. Focus on what you can do – focus on what you can control and influence, and leave the rest alone. People struggle to focus on what is beyond their control and so, naturally, they feel powerless. Focus on what you can do today, and then do the same tomorrow.
9. Focus on your strengths – champions believe in themselves because they focus on what they are good at and what they like about themselves. People who have low self-confidence focus on their weaknesses and where they aren't strong, and then wonder why they feel down.
10. Be a leader – be your own leader and the champion of your own life. Be the person you admire most! Extraordinary people are ordinary people making ordinary decisions! Be that person – inspire and lead others through the example you set every day.
