Rumination Questions
When you find yourself stuck in a loop of rumination, ask yourself:
Are these thoughts bringing me closer to the life I want or detracting from it?
Do I want the life I am dwelling on or can I shift my focus to what I truly want?
Gratitude
Having an attitude of gratitude has been key to my success. Read how to do it and the activities I do daily to help maintain it.
3 Questions
Whenever I am faced with an obstacle, I ask myself 3 questions:
– What lesson do I need to learn from this?
– What are the positives that can come from this?
– How can I turn this into an opportunity?
Goal Setting
Setting and achieving goals through knowing myself, knowing what I want, creating systems and habits enabled me to create the life I have now. Here are my 10 steps to success with goals.
Core Values and Mission Statement
Take the time to work out your core values. When you know what it is that drives you, what your boundaries are and why, it is much easier to create the life you want instead of living the way others expect.
Next, use those core values to help you create a personal mission statement to live by.
Confidence
Confidence is key to most areas of life yet too many of us struggle with it. Read 20 tips to build confidence and use the 100 List in the freebies above to see your value.
Motivation Wall
Rather than having a vision board on its own, I create a motivation wall. Here are a few from different times in my life. I’ll list what I have achieve under them.
This first one is blurry because it was over a decade ago. Since creating that one, I have achieved most of my financial, health and some of the travel goals. Plus all the random tech and things I wanted to buy.
Can you tell I wanted to travel a lot here? My kids found this one extremely amusing as there was a photo of a couple in the water somewhere on this wall. He was an islander and she was Caucasian. Total accident as it was about the boat and swimming and freedom to me. They found it amusing because not long after this, the father of my younger 3 and I connected then started travelling full time with my older 2 (2019 until mid-2020 when we repatriated and had the younger kids). He’s is Ni-Vanuatu and the picture kind of looked like him. So be careful what you put on your wall!
This was the start of one when I was having paralysis issues and other health issues in 2017. My main goals on that one were health (be able to walk), custody of my kids and fun with them e.g. travel and experiences.
