Say “Everything is Figureoutable” out loud as often as possible throughout your day to embed this belief, create new neural pathways, and train your brain to focus on solutions with creativity, innovation, and resilience.
Understand that your talents and skills are starting blocks, not fixed limits; embrace challenges and failures as opportunities to grow and improve through effort and dedication.
Break free from excuses by understanding the distinction between “can’t” and “won’t”; recognize that “can’t” is often a euphemism for “won’t,” meaning you don’t want to make the effort or sacrifice.
Focus on making consistent progress rather than aiming for unattainable perfection, as this mindset increases work quality, allows for learning from failures, and fosters continuous growth.
Build the habit of creating before consuming by engaging in activities like meditation, writing, or working out before checking social media, email, or news, to shift your ratio towards more creation and less passive consumption.
Recognize that your genius is unique and unrepeatable; share your dreams, gifts, products, or messages with the world, as your voice is needed and you are stealing from those who need you most if you don’t.
Experiment with the idea that you are not broken, but rather have unhelpful ideas or habits, which opens your mind to new possibilities, curiosity, learning, and experimentation, fostering hope and creativity.
Create a “figureoutable force field” by building a supportive community around you, starting with just one person, to help you navigate challenges and achieve your dreams.
When facing challenges, identify and focus on the things you can control and the actions you can take, rather than dwelling on what’s beyond your influence, to feel empowered and make progress.
View all “mistakes” as learning opportunities where you extract growth, rather than losses, to foster a mindset that continuously moves you forward.
Be mindful of the language you use to describe your life and situations, as subtle shifts in words can profoundly change meaning and permeate into your brain and being, shaping how you define yourself.
To avoid burnout and exhaustion, focus on the quality of your work by ensuring it’s rooted in something you deeply believe in, care about, or contributes to others. This makes intense work enjoyable rather than grueling.
Combat fatigue by actively engaging in activities that make you feel alive, as fatigue often stems from a lack of engagement in meaningful pursuits, not just overwork.
From every inspiring conversation, identify at least one actionable tip and apply it to your life immediately, ensuring that inspiration translates into concrete action and tangible change.
Release guilt and feelings of not “winning at life” by practicing self-compassion, especially when prioritizing important roles like being a parent, as this can paradoxically open up more energy, time, and freedom.
Cease comparing yourself to others, as “the moment you compare, you lose”; instead, enjoy your own life, honor others’ journeys with compassion, and stay rooted in your unique path.
Use the three rules of the “figureoutable” philosophy: 1) all problems/dreams are figureoutable, 2) if not, it’s a fact of life, and 3) if you don’t care enough, find something you do care about, to guide your problem-solving.
Understand that finding solutions to challenging problems or dreams requires time, hard work, and perseverance, accepting that you may stumble along the way, but ultimately you will find a way to transform or transcend the challenge.
Initiate building your supportive community by sharing the “figureoutable” philosophy with a potential “running buddy” and offering support for their dreams, rather than immediately asking for support on your own.
Actively seek out and expose yourself to new ideas, tools, and concepts that can help you live the life you desire, recognizing that a lack of exposure, not inherent brokenness, may be the barrier.
Equip children with tools, mindsets, and healthy perspectives to grow from challenges and adversity, rather than shrinking from them, preparing them for inevitable life struggles.
Apply the “figureoutable” principles to making health changes in your life, as these universal truths are highly applicable to improving how you feel and live.
