I'm throwing out this ONE word now

There are many words I no longer use including...

 

stress

anxious

worry

can't

try

busy

should


My vocabulary and life are lighter without them. 

There's a word I noticed that I still use, however. 

 

Hard. 

As in: It's hard to grow my business.

You, me, and everyone we'll encounter today all operate the same: 

 

We all feel our thinking and find supporting evidence to back up our thoughts (confirmation bias.) And guess what? The odds aren't stacked in our favor -- 80% of our daily thoughts are negative and repetitive.

So why on earth am I running my own interference with my business? 

Why am I choosing to make it hard? 

It's hogwash I tell you and I've decided I'm done thinking about it this way because it's...hard. Energy draining. And self-fulfilling.

 

What now? It's time to think up a more useful thought and put it on repeat moving forward. 

I like the idea of: 

When I work my process and take the important actions I see results. 

Saying this makes me feel lighter and empowered. It reminds me that I need to do the work and when I do I'm rewarded. Right on. 

What thought do you have on repeat that feels like a fact? If you're tired of the repetitive results this thought is producing for you practice this:

  1. Start catching yourself in the moment

  2. Take a powerful pause and ask yourself:

    1. How do I feel when I think this? 

    2. What evidence am I finding in my life based on this thought? 

    3. Would I rather feel differently? 

      1. If so...what's a more useful and productive thought I can think of instead? 

      2. How do I feel when I think this new thought? 

The key: Make it a thought that feels at least neutral to a bit better than the one you're currently thinking. This isn't just 'positive thinking' B.S.
