Monday Motivation

Happy Monday. Let's make this an excellent week. Here are the right mindset tips you need to succeed.

Start with right habits:

Develop new, stronger habits that will allow us to reach our goals. Start by…

1) Setting deadlines for your new positive habits.
2) Making small changes every day.
3) Preparing for those days when we feel like doing the opposite of what we should be doing. … You can do it.

You can break free from your comfort zone. If you believe in yourself as much as I believe in you, you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams. It may not be easy, but you can and will do it. I’ll be right here with you every step of the way.

Then get social support:

As I’ve talked about time and time again, social support is a huge key to success. However, just as important as getting support is removing all negative influences in your life. This may be painful. You might not want to give up hanging out with lazy friends that eat junk all the time, but if it is killing you and making you fat and unhappy, it MUST stop. Same with work friends. If all they do is sit round and complain, then you can’t be in that environment.

If something doesn’t feel right, get out before it is too late. Surround yourself with positive people. Get rid of the toxic ones in your life.

“Don’t demand or expect that events happen as you would wish them to. Accept events as they actually happen. That way peace is possible.” – Epictetus, The Art of Living

But stay positive this week, no matter what goes on in the big bad world or even in your own personal environment.

You can't change all that is wrong in this great big world, but YOU can have an impact, even if it is just a tiny, positive impact on a stranger that receives a smile from you on the street today. There's so much we can do for others, and in the end, what we do for others ends up benefiting us 10-fold. So let's do this. Let's make our little worlds amazing today.

Train hard but safe,
