Now, let’s talk mindset.

I am not a mindset expert, psychologist or brain expert. I’m a mere human sharing personal experiences and anecdotes with you, in hopes that we can make some gains in life, business and fitness.

Here’s the deal. I’ve read the Bible, done extensive group counseling, listened to gurus like Tony Robbins, read books like Essentialism, the Big Leap, Atomic Habits and the 4 Hour Work Week. What they all seem to have in common is your mind, how in tune you are with your thoughts, and shifting them when needed to get where you want to go.

I claim nothing but my own thoughts and experiences, okay? So take this for whatever it’s worth.

Our current reality is our perception of something neutral. I could 500% be talking out my ass right now. But the point is that perspective is individual and that’s important to note when observing our thoughts and actions.

That brings me to mindset shifts and some tactics to ponder for more productivity and peace in 2021.

The three shifts and/or mantras are:

* Permission to not* 3 weekly wins* Seek discomfort

First up - Permission to not. I’ve mentioned this previously from a business standpoint and how I am able to do all the things. I give myself permission to let things go at any time. I could stop blogging, or this podcast, or my daily dose or weekly wrap. I give out free content like it’s my full time job. And I don’t HAVE TO.

By giving myself permission to not, it takes off the false pressure of HAVING to do ALL these things, ALL of the time.

But this goes far beyond my little business example. 

You can give yourself permission to NOT say yes, when you really want to say no.

You can give yourself permission to NOT complete every lift this week, or to edit lifts to fit your time frame. Give yourself permission to NOT have an all or nothing mentality. To embrace the grey.

You see? Giving yourself permission to do less, or to NOT, opens up a new level of freedom and options.

Next up, the practice of: “3 weekly wins”

And the mantra of: “I have wins”

You can list more than three weekly wins if you like. But this is not gratitude. Yes, many of the brightest and likely healthiest minds in the world will tell you that gratitude is an imperative piece of true success. I certainly think so.

But these are WINS. If you’re a go getter or someone who is constantly on the move, this is SO IMPORTANT.

Many of you are your own hardest critic. You neglect celebrating what you’ve achieved because you’re either on to the next thing or you’re too busy being displeased with your current work or state.

But listen to me now, YOU HAVE WINS.

Choose a day of the week and celebrate those wins. Give them space and recognition. They deserve that. You deserve that.

Even on weeks where I feel I’ve done NOTHING, or was busy,
