Here, we set out seven steps to help create unstoppable success from within and reset your brain when you need it to step into your true greatness!
Change your personal preconceptions
Your personal preconceptions are made up of two layers: past experiences that have affected you before; and the core beliefs those experiences have created within you. The past experiences will have had either a positive or negative effect on the way you perceive yourself. Think about any memorable moments that have had a negative effect on you, and what limiting beliefs you are holding on to as a direct result of them.
Rewriting your past When you think back to a memory that was a negative experience for you, ask yourself these two questions: what did I learn from that experience? How has it made me stronger? Reflecting on these questions allows your mind to seek positivity.
Start creating the new you Your values are a list of things that are important to you in your life. Examples of these could be kindness, honesty, loyalty, compassion, and ambition. Jot down what values you’d like to have, without any limitations.Your core beliefs are a set of rules you have about yourself, and how you want to live your life. Categories could include happiness, wealth, success, and family. Your core beliefs are the things that you hold important. Write down what you’d like your core beliefs to be, without any limitations.
Quit the negative self-talk When a negative thought enters your head, you have the power to change it into a positive thought, which will then completely alter your perception of the world. It’s in the moment when you become aware of your thoughts that you can learn to take back control, and push yourself towards positivity. Jot down any recurring negative thoughts you may have, so you can bring awareness to your self-talk and regain control using the previous exercise.
Make time for yourself
This allows you to reflect, to learn, to grow, to challenge yourself, to believe, and plan your future. Jot down how much time you can commit to, and how often you can create that time within your day.
Daily habits
When you implement new habits and commit to them, they can transform your life. Here are four areas to focus on to help you: First-thing thoughts What are you excited about? Fill your mind with positivity before getting out of bed in the morning Conscious thinking Take in your surroundings, use your senses to be in the moment, and give your all to whatever it is that you are focusing on. Daily ‘you time’ Commit to small pockets of ‘you time’ each day. This could be standing outside for five minutes, listening to some calming music, or practising deep breathing. Night-time gratefulness What are you thankful for? What can you celebrate about the day? Fill your head with gratitude just before you go to sleep.
Your support system The support you have in your life creates the foundations of your growth. Fill your life with people who motivate you, push you, and help you thrive. Note down who brings out the best in you. Think about the people who you always feel good around.
Personal development is a lifelong journey. The great news? You can reset anytime, as many times as you need! This journey is one you will be on for life. The steps get easier to implement, and the negativity will become less as your positivity grows and your confidence shines through.
