The Mindset That Gets You Results

I’ve talked to soooo many people over the years that just want the perfect plan.

 They think if they know exactly what exercises to do and what foods to eat, all of their body/fitness woes will be resolved.

 But deep down, I think we all know that’s not the truth.

 So, what should you really focus on in terms of your mindset to ensure success?

 It’s literally about training yourself to show up every day and not quit.

 If it sounds counterintuitive, it’s because it kind of is.

 We all think we need to know the thing – the plan – to get results.

 But the truth is that simply showing up is far more important in the long-term.

It’s about making Slight Edge choices day in and day out (read the book if you never have!). Because Slight Edge choices – the small and seemingly insignificant things – add up to your ultimate success or failure in any area of life.

 If you’re in a spot right now where you’re really struggling or just looking for the perfect plan, shift your mindset more to showing up daily and just not quitting on yourself.

 I think you’ll be amazed at the results.

5 Steps For Leveling-Up Your Mindset

The perspective from which I want to discuss this topic today has to do with cultivating a mindset that

actually allows you to reach your goals. It’s easy to get fed up with your current situation – whether it be weight, a job, finances, a relationship, or otherwise – and say to yourself “I’m done! Things are about to change!” But then they don’t.

Because that moment of inspiration from frustration is fleeting.

A month, a year, and 5 years go by and things are still the same…

…unless you create a new mindset that will allow you to follow through all the way to success.

Here are 5 steps you can take to do just that:

1. Identify your past mistakes. Chances are that this thing you want to change…well, it’s not the

first time you’ve thought of tackling it. So go back and take note of why you weren’t successful

in the past.

2. Create small goals to achieve along the way. If you’v got a pretty big goal, it can feel like you’re

standing at the base of Mount Everest. Overwhelm will not be helpful in getting to your

destination, so setting smaller goals to work toward that ultimately add up to the big goal is

important for maintaining your motivation.

3. Stay flexible in your pursuit. Plans don’t always work out like we want them to. Life throws us

challenges. Most people quit as soon as things get in their way. You cannot! Be ready to adapt

as you move forward.

4. Stay inspired. The initial burst of inspiration you get to take action won’t last forever, so you

have to find ways to keep the inspiration. Some suggestions can be creating a vision board,

having an accountability circle of others who keep you on track, or listening to/reading things

that inspire you every day.

5. Engage in a daily routine. Whether it’s journaling, reading, writing or saying affirmations,

visualization, or a combination of all of them, having a daily routine centered around personal

growth will absolutely keep you on track in pursuit of your goals.

This is a formula, not a pick-and-choose, so it’s important that you do all of the above!
