Читать книгу Stop Thinking Like An Employee - Demetris Reynolds - Страница 4

Replace the thought. Reverse the thought. Tell yourself that you are good enough. Tell yourself that things will be okay. Is it true? Well, it is no more of a lie than telling yourself something negative. At least, you will feel better and be in a better position to thrive. Considering that things usually work out, it is more accurate than your negative thoughts.

When confronted with the problem of constructing optimistic life modifications, there are a couple of steps you may take that may provide help to battle and overcome them with much less stress.

Establish at what point you are within the change process: Pre-contemplation, contemplation, willpower, action, upkeep, or relapse.

What are the cost and benefits of making this change? Make a list of the costs and benefits of making a change versus alternatives.

Think about anyone in your network that may be useful in solving the issue. This is your layer of support. Reach out to them.

When you begin looking for solutions start by writing down things you have previously explored and the information you have acquired. This helps to better focus your attention on the next steps.

Rate how things are on a scale of 1 to 5. What will things look like at a 4 or 5? What will be different?

In times of overwhelm or crisis, you can change the focus from overwhelm into solution-mode. Ask: What have you learned from similar experiences that may apply to this situation?

Suspend reality for a few minutes to dream of a time when things are better. What would that look like?

Think big! thinking can expand your belief of what is possible. You can challenge limits. You need to view the world in a new way to accomplish big objectives. Get out of your comfort zone. Believe in yourself. If you want it, go get it. You are where you are because of what you think.

If you think this is all I can do... that is all you are going to do. If you believe you can do better... you will do better. This involves what you think. In order to achieve more, your thinking has to evolve from its current state. You have to have a growth mindset, a wealth mindset. Remember, it is your current way of thinking and beliefs that lead you to where you are.

Set goals that are obtainable. You should set a big goal. Obtain this big goal by setting smaller goals that will lead you to accomplish the big goal. Do not set the big goal and just dive into trying to make it happen. This is where many go wrong. Going to a big goal without a plan can lead to one being discouraged and giving

up. The assumption is always... all I have to do is. Then once you start, you realize you should have done something else first while on your quest to achieve this goal, and the move you just made was a waste of time because it didn’t work without something else being in place first. Therefore, you plan. Break that goal apart to see what action steps are needed, then put the action steps in order.

You need to plan, strategize, and take small steps towards the goal. What is the goal? What action steps will you need to take to accomplish this goal? These steps are the small goals that you need to focus on; one at a time.

Achieving a few small goals while working towards the big goal brings about a feeling of accomplishment and joy. Do not let this distract you, your mission is not over. Use these small wins as motivation and fuel to push you onward.

Do not get content. It is important to know that if you want to achieve more in life, you have to strive to do more than what you are currently doing.

You will view the common challenges in life as much smaller. When you are trying to make your first billion dollars, a leaky faucet seems like small potatoes. When your plan for the evening is to binge-watch TV, a leaky faucet can make you think, “I just can’t catch a break.”
