However I have found over the 23 plus years I have been in the fitness industry and the many years before that being in sports that there is one thing that is more important than anything else when it comes to change. Any type of change.
One MUST change the way they think in order to change anything else. And this happens through learned experiences. What am I talking about?
Just today I pulled out 25 index cards and read them before I start my day, as I do everyday. These 25 cards have positive things that will happen to me, or things about me, such as " I will smile at every person I see" or "I am the best father in the world" or "My business will be financially better today".
You see all these things say something positive, absolutely no negatives at all. By saying these over and over, day after day, your mindset starts to change. Your attitude starts changing. Everything seems brighter, clearer, and more meaningful. Things start to happen. Things you thought couldn't happen. You start doing things that you normally wouldn't do. Things that you are fearful of.
Another way, and probably the absolute best way I know of to change your thinking in life is this... Simply surround yourself with people that make you a better person. Get rid of your toxic people. If you want to find out how to be the best doctor in the world simply spend all your living moments you can around the best doctors in the world and watch them, do what they do. If you want to be a rich person, then simply find the richest person you can, hang with them, and do what they do. If you want to lose 50 pounds, simply start spending all your time with someone who has done it, or someone that helps people do that everyday. Get rid of your toxic friends that only bring negatives in your life and start hanging around the people you want to be like. That's the best "life" advice I have ever received, and I have heard that numerous times. And I'll give you one guess of who you think told me that. If you guessed that it's the people that I want to be like, well, then you're finally getting it.
It's hard to go it alone. It really is. Somehow, someway we all must start changing the way we think for the better. I promise you that if you change the way you thing the things you want to change will just start happening.
