The Brain makes an average of 35,000 decision each and everyday. 

As with our muscles exhausting after a long cardio workout, our brain is also a muscle that becomes exhausted. 

As we become fatigued by decision-making, our self-control guard is down, and we are more likely to making impulsive decisions that are not necessarily the right choice. 

Sometimes this may not be the wrong choice, but it could just be the safe choice.

How can we avoid decision fatigue and allow ourselves the best opportunity to make the best decisions towards accomplishing our goals and finding fulfillment? 

One of the most powerful things  we can do is work on getting exterminating the ANTS from our brain. (A)utomatic (N)egative (T)houghts, that have become our knee jerk reactions based on old stories that we have repeated to ourselves over and over again to the point where we are completely unaware of it and we believe that these simply are our thoughts.

The danger is that it eventually becomes a part of our self-talk and those words will eventually become our actions. Those actions will eventually form into habits. Those habits will ultimately become our values and our values will ultimately dictate our destiny. So, if what I'm thinking eventually becomes my actions and ultimately my destiny. How do I take care of what's going through my mind?

Getting 1 % better every day means making changes in our life but sometime we can get in our own way.

We all know If we continue to do what we’ve always done then we’ll continue to get what we’ve always got but IF we’ve decided that there is something about our life that we are unhappy with and we want to improve whether it be our relationships, our health, our finances etc.

Then it going to mean trying something new or making changes in our life which is always is a little bit scary. No matter how tough we are the fear of the unknown always creeps up and we can end up getting in our own way.

What does that mean? We can start telling our selves stories about ourselves that aren’t true and we can star to repeat them to ourselves over and over again in our heads until we actually start believing it.  But just because we happen to think something or happen to believe something doesn’t actually make it true.

So what do we do ? How do we get out of our own way?

What does it mean to be Resilient?

The definition according to Webster’s is an ability to recover from or adjust easily to adversity or change and many people speak of its meaning to be synonymous with toughness or elasticity but what does it mean to be mentally resilience?

Anyone who is looking to make changes in their lives, entrepreneurs or anyone continuing down a path towards a goal will need to develop and practice some sort of mental resilience.  But the question is how.  

Clarity of purpose! Being clear on our vision and having purposeful intentions each day is how we cultivate resiliency. We build this “staying Power” one day at a time by setting clear long term and short-term goals and reverse engineering yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily actions items that align with our goal.

We are able to meet and adjust to adversity when our purpose is clear, our actions are defined, and we remain present on our task at hand.

We can’t control outcomes but we can control our actions and showing up everyday to take those actions is resiliency in action.
