Daily Boost — Motivation and Personal Growth

Dealing With Any Crisis

When I fly little planes, everything is about safety. When things go wrong, I have a simple rule:

Fly the plane. Navigate the plane. Communicate with somebody who can help.

The same applies to life.

When things get challenging, most folks go directly to asking for advice.  

What they get is -

“Tell me what is happening in your life. Where are you? What’s going on?”

If you don’t have control of the basics, it’s difficult for anybody to help.

The next time life gets wild, keep flying your “Life Airplane,” and do your best to navigate the obstacles to a safe situation. In other words, keep control of what you have so you don’t lose it. Then reach out for help.

Why You Should Act 16 Again

Growing up sure can get in the way of your dreams. It’s sad how so many goals get pushed aside for daily responsibilities.  

Think about this -

When you were 16, the only freedoms you enjoyed were what your parents allowed. When you grow up, you have total freedom and complete control.

If you could live today like you were 16, it might look like this -

You would go to school and educate yourself.

Your friends would be real friends. Not just people you met at the office.

You would dream about your future.

You would be excited about what was to come in life.

You wouldn’t be allowed to drink. Your mind would be clear.

You would embrace having fun for the fun of it.

You couldn’t and wouldn’t get in debt.

You would sleep—a lot.

The job you have today would have felt like a prison. Does it?

You would busy yourself all day with LIFE.

You don’t have to be 16 again. But imagine how much fun you could have if you knew then…what you know now… and used it all today?

Embracing Your Natural Flow

Getting things done isn’t always about a to-do list. More often, it’s your body clock.

Scientists have discovered that we all experience productivity peaks and valleys throughout our day.

Does this sound familiar?

1) Maximum focus happens in the morning. After waking up, your body temperature slowly rises, and your ability to focus with it. Mornings are excellent for detailed work - until around noon.

2) The slump begins. Yes, the slump is real. After noon, your body slows down until late afternoon. Don’t fight it. Focus on the easy stuff.

3) Creativity rebounds later in the day. While you are not as sharp as in the morning, you are more relaxed, open to ideas, and creative. 

You will always get the most out of your day by observing, thinking, and executing your plans when you embrace your natural rhythm. Go with your flow!

Work. Life. Balance. Really?

A long time ago, you found yourself graduating high school and thrust into real life. 

I’m sure you gave lots of thought to your future. Then again, you were young. Twenty years later, things can look very different.

Over the years, I’ve learned something about working for a living:

1) Chasing money, advancement, and being significant will keep you busy. It will also close your eyes to other areas of life you would enjoy.

2) Pursuing passion and mission without considering real life is a recipe for frustration.

Choose career opportunities that allow you to run fast, feel important, make money, and will enable you to serve your passion and mission.

How To Be Honest With Yourself

There's a truth about getting what you want in your life. 

If you don't know where you are, you can't know how to get where you want to go.

Do you know where you are?

One of the quickest ways to find out is, to be honest with yourself. It's time to take inventory and look at every aspect of your life: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the awesome.

Taking the time to inventory everything before pushing off in a new direction is often to only way to free yourself from obstacles.

Leave the baggage behind, and you'll increase your possibility of succeeding. 

Toss out what you don't want, keep what fits the new you, and get moving.

Does the Law of Attraction Work?

I've always believed the Law of Attraction should be called the Law of What You Think About Most.

Like attracts like, what you think about, you get. 

If you think, "I won't get it because I never do" - you are correct.

Dreaming of a new life while focusing on your current problems is a sure way to keep spinning your wheels.

The trick is to focus your attention and actions on what you want to attract. That will require a dedicated effort. Vision Boards, lists of Goals, and daily journaling are all great ways to stay on track. 

The Law of What You Think about is magical and straightforward…

Decide what you want. Believe it is possible. Focus on the future, not the past. Please don't stop until you get it.

Get Motivated ON DEMAND

As a child, I wondered why I couldn't always have my way. Mom and Dad were so mean! I couldn't wait to grow up, move out, and experience being an adult. Everything would be different - or so I thought.

After stepping into the adult world, it didn't take long to realize that not much had changed. It turns out it wasn't my parents. It was like turning down my requests. Life was getting in the way. What was even worse was that I was getting in my way.

I've joked over the years that if I'm the Boss of me, so why don't I do what I say? Eventually, I realized having a big ass goal, being on a mission, and, most importantly, motivation on demand was the solution.

Motivation is a powerful, if not fleeting, tool we all need. But we need to understand one of the simplest ways our minds generate motivation:

1) Your physiology dictates your feelings. The easiest way to break free of a slump is to stand up, take a step, and REPEAT. Movement wakes your body, guides your emotions, and makes anything possible.

2) Focus fuels your fire. If you're unmotivated, you drift in the wind with no direction. Shifting your thoughts in a positive direction and toward what excites you will break you out and get you moving.

3) The words you say create the emotions you feel. Negative self-talk will drag you and everybody else down. Everything changes when you make the words you say to yourself, internally and externally, positive and uplifting. Words matter more than you think.

You're human. Your brain isn't wired to stay motivated constantly unless you are willing to give it a helping hand.

One Question Procrastination Elimination

Are you a member of the Procrastination Club? 

Procrastination is the intentional and habitual postponement of an essential task that you should be doing. 

Is that what you are doing? 

In my view, two things could happen if you procrastinate -

It may be possible that you are not procrastinating at all. Instead, you may be forcing yourself to do something you don't need to do anyway.

The other possibility is that it simply doesn't mean enough to you to start the process. Or, said another way, other things mean more to you.

Yes, you must complete some tasks. That's called being a responsible person. But if your list keeps getting longer, it's time to ask yourself a question -

Is it important enough to me to get it done? 

If not, you know why you are procrastinating.
