Actively stop telling yourself self-limiting statements like ‘I have a horrible memory’ or ‘I’m not smart enough,’ because fighting for your limitations ensures you keep them.
Recognize that your brain is a supercomputer running programs based on your self-talk and beliefs; avoid consistently thinking or saying things you don’t want to be true, as these patterns will manifest in your life.
Instead of solely focusing on what you want to ‘have,’ concentrate on ‘being’ the person who achieves those things and ‘doing’ the actions that lead to those outcomes, preventing you from losing what you gain.
Shift your focus from merely managing time to actively managing your mind and priorities, ensuring you control the controllables and keep the most important things important.
Critically evaluate your assumptions and attitudes about key areas of your life (e.g., money, health, love) and about yourself, as negative mindsets can prevent you from using effective methods and lead to self-sabotage.
Actively work to expand your beliefs about what is possible for you, what you are capable of achieving, and what you truly deserve, as these three beliefs act as a thermostat setting for your life.
Cultivate a deep, emotional purpose or reason for your actions, as a lack of purpose is often why people don’t follow through, even if they know what to do.
Actively manage your energy levels by prioritizing sleep, consuming brain-healthy foods, managing stress, and avoiding ’energy vampires’ in your peer group, as exhaustion severely hinders motivation.
Break down overwhelming goals into the tiniest, simplest actions you can take right now that guarantee progress and where failure is impossible, such as putting on running shoes or opening a book.
When feeling stuck, ask yourself, ‘What is the tiniest action I could take right now that will give me progress towards this goal where I can’t fail?’ to identify an immediate, achievable step.
Recognize that knowledge is merely potential power, and it only transforms into actual power when you consistently apply it in your life.
Rather than diminishing your dreams to align with current situations, concentrate on upgrading your mindset, motivation, and methods to achieve those ambitious aspirations.
Reflect on specific areas of your life where you feel stagnant or trapped, such as health, impact, income, or happiness, to identify where you need to apply the ‘3 Ms’ for progress.
After establishing a strong mindset and sufficient motivation, focus on learning and applying proven methodologies and strategies relevant to your specific goals, such as health protocols or learning techniques.
