5 WAYS TO UPGRADE YOUR THINKING.
We’re taking it back to the very beginning, the origins of what differentiates us as humans. Something we may not intentionally think about (pun intended), but it holds immense POWER when we consciously harness it in our favour. When we are faced with a challenge, Albert Einstein said “WE CANNOT SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME THINKING WE USED TO CREATE THEM.”
This is the same message I want to share with you today in this episode of MOTIVATION MONDAY. To unleash your inner champion, know that YOUR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS ORIGINATE FROM YOUR THOUGHTS, the very beginning.
These are 5 WAYS TO UPGRADE YOUR THINKING right now to find solutions to challenges and reach your peak performance.
#1 ASK BETTER QUESTIONS
As a mother, manager or manufacturer, decisions are made everyday wherever you are and whatever you do. TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS, ASK BETTER QUESTIONS.
THINK, “what would a top performer in my industry do in this situation?”
#2 REPLACE THE WORD “PROBLEM” FOR SITUATION OR CHALLENGE
Saying “problem” implies negativity, being gloomy and it won’t ever go away. Why do you do that? WORDS ARE POWERFUL and saying “problem” doesn’t position you with the right attitude to attack it–give it everything you’ve got to find a breakthrough.
Alternatively, saying “I have this challenge I need to take on today” feels INVIGORATING and a challenge you want to take on, HEAD ON. LIFE IS REWARDING WHEN WE ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
#3 EXPLORE OTHER POINTS OF VIEW
Appreciate that others may see a solution you can’t.
The outcome of the trick is already known by a magician. Someone like David Blaine has rehearsed this illusion hundreds of times. But for the trick to be an awe-inspiring success, the magician must step into the audience’s perspective of seeing the trick for the first time and appreciate what the audience is seeing. Only then can David be put in the same state of wonder as the audience.
Only when you step into another’s perspective wholeheartedly, you upgrade your thinking and ultimately make better decisions.
#4 ASSOCIATE WITH SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
As a general rule, YOU ARE THE AVERAGE OF 5 PEOPLE YOU SPEND THE MOST TIME WITH. Take an inventory of those in your zone of influence and determine if they are contributing to unleashing your inner champion or your mediocre self.
The habits and thoughts of the people who you deem as successful will rub off on you. Whether it be meeting over coffee or over the weekend, you are exposed to how they think. This is an invaluable by-product of being in successful people’s presence.
#5 WHEN YOU UPGRADE YOUR THINKING, YOU UPGRADE YOUR ACTIONS
Implementing these thinking upgrades will BRING YOUR ACTIONS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Better decisions, both in career and life endeavors, are made as a result of deliberately improving a fundamental of our existence–THINKING
Put into PRACTICE THESE UPGRADES NOW and I promise you, income breakthroughs and happiness breakthroughs that you’ve been waiting for will SOAR THROUGH THE ROOF.
Remember– get out there, go for it, and unleash your inner champion
