If you feel like you’re never going to run out of bad days, how about you change your perspective? In today’s episode, Erik Cabral speaks with Jeff Holst, the author of No Bad Days: How to Make Every Day Great. This guy has gone through some challenges in life, including a life-threatening crisis, but still remains positive about life. Listen in to find out how he makes every day great!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Episode Highlights:

[09:01] Taking Responsibility for Your Life Situations

If you find yourself in challenging situations, reframe how you perceive your day. Take responsibility for the situation you're in and make the best possible choices given that situation. 

The Baader-Meinhof effect is the idea that your subconscious mind defaults to the familiar. The book, Hardwiring Happiness, also talks about how you should just stop and embrace positive things once in a while. This way, you’re the neural pathways in your brain, and the ones you use the most are the easiest to fire off.

[23:53] How to Take Responsibility for Things You Can’t Control

How do you take responsibility for things that you can't control? You don't worry about those things, because worrying doesn’t help. You can't do anything about some things, but you’ve got to do the stuff you can control and maximize your choices. Once you get that confidence and the ability to feel it’s okay to fail, then you’re aligning yourself with your internal vision, and you have more clarity about the things important to you.

[32:50] What is Integrity?

When your thoughts, your words, and your actions are all completely aligned, you're in personal integrity. By thinking, saying, and doing positive things, you’re going to find alignment in all areas of your life. 

Now, try to take that further than just integrity, because it’s all about the experience of life. Become a better, stronger, more mentally aware person. Work on yourself and just keep working to be better and better and better. 

[40:15] Everything’s a Choice

Everything's a choice. How are you going to frame your choices about the future? How are you going to create your own future? How are you going to set those goals to get the results you want? All that just comes down to the perspective of how you look at things.
