This weeks podcast looks at mind set –  the voices that we listen to inside our heads. By knowing that our inner voice can determine our success or failure, we are going to discuss what you can do to make sure that it is helping you succeed. As a bonus I am also going to discuss 3 Simple Actions you can Do Every Day That will Improve Your Life.

3 Simple Actions To Do Everyday

1) Create Something

When we create something, we are building something new. We’re tapping into our creative mind. Creation requires challenging the status quo. It requires awareness.

Creativity requires a connection and ownership to change, to growth and improvement or the act of creativity for the sake of creativity, as in art.

When we create something, we’re being additive. We are giving to our workplace, our school, our home, our family, to our friends or society. By creating something every day we’re improving our surroundings and the lives of others around us, no matter how small or how big.

Creating is the act of building something and the act of change. Commit to creating something every day; a new process at work, a blog post, a piece of art, a story, a presentation, a new client, a new workflow design, anything. Put yourself in a position where you can create something new every day. It’s how you add to life.

2) Learn Something

There is nothing you can do that’s as impactful as learning.

Our personal development and growth are paramount, yet it’s far too easy to let life get in the way. The day to day becomes our master and learning is an afterthought.

To those who look to maximize life, learning is anything but an afterthought. Learning is personal growth and the more we learn, the more we’re capable of, the more opportunities that are opened for us.

Learning is the selfish act in this trio, as we are the biggest beneficiaries of learning. The more we learn, the more we grow, the more enriched our lives become.

Learning is the answer to preventing and solving so many of life’s problems. Start looking for ways to deliberately learn every day. Build a learning path. Look for ways you can learn each day. Learn how to do something you didn’t know how to do. Learn about something you were unaware of. Learn about history, learn about a new product, learn about your competitors, learn something new about a coworker, your boss or a friend, learn something about your neighborhood or the environment.

It’s less about what you learn and more about making sure you learn something new every single day.

3) Share Something

Giving, it’s a value we all cherish. Few of us would say we give enough. Giving is one of those things we all say we need to do and want to do, but it always seems to end up on the next day’s list.

We just never seem to get around to giving as much as we think we should.

Except for special events, mother’s days, birthdays, and of course Christmas, giving is hit and miss, and all of us know we can do more.

Sharing is giving. It’s a way to acknowledge the presence and importance of others. By sharing regularly, we include others into our lives and validate their value to us. Sharing is inclusive; it connects us to everyone around us. It makes sure we aren’t an island and that we are part of something bigger.

When we don’t share, we isolate ourselves, and we are not completely participating in our community, our family or our work.

Find time to share every day. Sharing doesn’t mean buying presents, but it can mean sharing an idea you’ve had, sharing a tool, sharing information like an article you read that you think someone could benefit from.

It could mean sharing your car to give someone a ride. It could mean buying the coffee for the person behind you in line at a coffee shop. Maybe it’s helping on a project that a co-worker is struggling with. Regardless of what it is,
