HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT YOUR THOUGHTS: HAPPINESS A CHOICE OF LIVING
Have you ever thought about the fact that happiness is a choice of living? That you choose to be happy? We feel what we are thinking, and we are choosing what to think. What we are choosing to think, determines how we are feeling, that again determines our life experience. In addition to that the vibration you choose to be on, decides what you attract into your life. If you are feeling blue and you are in a low state vibration, you will more easily attract similar things to you. In the opposite case, if you train your mind to stay positive, you will get positive feelings, feel better, enjoy life more and attract more good things to you.
That`s why this mental strength exercise is so important. The main goal with the exercise is to practice asking the following question when something is not going the way you wished it would, or you had planned: What positive things can come out of this situation? That is one of the most important questions you can ask yourself going through life. This is the question I`m holding on to in every challenging situation I’m facing and that I`ve taught my kids to embrace in their lives too. Because this question will help you find new answers and make your mind go on a search for positive things. That again will give you the benefits of dealing better with challenges and at the same time filling yourself up with positive emotions. Just imagine how that will be, to always be able to find the hidden gifts and benefits in any given situation and to feel good about life no matter what happens? It doesn`t mean that we are not experience or accepting pain and feeling those emotions too, but we are focusing and training our mind to mainly be in a positive state. So your mental strength workout is therefore to ask yourself when you are feeling challenged or down: What positive can come out of this? What are the positive aspects here? And what are the benefits?
If you decide to work on asking that question daily for at least a period of three weeks you should notice a huge difference, and to be honest, you should notice the difference just after a couple of days, because you will let go of old patterns of negativity and stress. Let`s train our mind and ask ourselves in any situation we face: What positive can come out of this situation?
2 MENTAL STRENGTH WORKOUT:
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED AT YOUR THOUGHTS?
Have you ever looked at your thoughts? Looked at them and checked if you are having beautiful or ugly thoughts?
Just like you are regulary looking at your clothes you are wearing, your make up, your car or your home? To check if your clothes are looking nice, just as your home and your car? No? Why is that? Why don`t we on a regular basis taking a look at our thoughts too?
What we are choosing to think, determines how we are feeling, that again determines our life experience. In addition to that the vibration you choose to be on, decides what you attract into your life. If you are feeling blue and you are in a low state vibration, you will more easily attract similar things to you. In the opposite case, if you train your mind to stay positive, you will get positive feelings, feel better, enjoy life more and attract more good things to you.
Let`s say you are thinking that the weather is shitty, and you are thinking that you are tired and low in energy and annoyed because you are running late, how do you think you would then meet and great people? And how would people around you feel about being around you? And would it be easier for you to be negative or positive to the things happening in your life through your day?
It`s so important to get the understanding of the huge impact your thoughts are having on your life, so I will gladly repeat myself: What you are choosing to think in every moment decide what you are feeling and your life experience and the quality of your life. It`s absolutely essential. Not what other people are thinking or saying or doing, but what you are thinking, feeling and then doing.
So therefore this mental strength exercise is about taking a look at your thoughts and asking yourself: Am I having beautiful or ugly thoughts?
What are you thinking when you are passing a stranger on the street that wears a big orange hat? “Oh, what a cool and interesting look, I hope he will have an amazing day”? or “ ha, ha, what a funny and silly hat?”, or are you just ignoring that person? To make fun of or having negative thoughts about other people are not having beautiful thoughts, and neither is ignoring. Just imagine how you would feel knowing that people you meet don`t give a s… about you. That they are indifferent about you. That is not a beautiful thought, all though you might think you are “neutral”, but it`s still not a nice thought you are thinking and you are not feeling any good emotions either being “neutral”.
We want to have a beautiful mind, to live a beautiful life.
That means that it`s essential that you monitor your thoughts every day and that you decide to think loving thoughts in every situation. To be conscious about other people and to choose to think loving thoughts and send them love when passing them. That will put you on a high vibration that will make you feel amazing and attract more amazing things to you. What you are sending out, you will get in return. Not necessarily from the same person or in the same way you gave love, but when you are thinking good thoughts and feeling good emotions and taking loving actions, you will get the same in return. (And yes, if you choose to think negative thoughts and negative emotions, you will get that back too). We are sending out energy and we are receiving energy. The higher level of frequencies you are sending from, the higher levels of energy you will receive. Give what you want to receive, always.
So monitor your thoughts and when you catch yourself thinking a negative or an ignorant thought, change it as soon as possible to something positive and loving. No matter what situation you are in. It`s a practice and I will say a life long practice, but you will notice the difference in only a couple of weeks. I will also share that I catch myself in thinking negative thoughts regulary, but the biggest change so far, is the time I`m using from thinking a negative thought, to I change it to a positive mindset. I’m doing it much faster and when I do linger in a negative mindset I can feel it is holding me back and that motivates me even more to change faster to a love state. So watch your thoughts and don`t judge yourself! It is so easy to do. We are just humans, and your positive mindset starts with giving love to yourself and accept that it takes practise. This exercise is a life long practice that will fill your life with happiness and love and inner peace through your whole life, if you stay true to monitoring your thoughts and making sure they are loving and positive.

HOW TO BE GOOD AT DEALING WITH CHALLENGES
Challenges are something most people don’t like. At least not those who trigger negative emotions in us. Or do you like those challenges?

Good questions to ask:

4: What am I willing to do to make it the way I want it?
5: What am I willing to no longer do in order to make it the way I want it?

4: MENTAL STRENGTH WORKOUT:
WHAT DO YOU CELEBRATE?
REMEMBER THIS ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING!
When you get an idea or a thought of something that you need to remember. It can be anything from paying a bill, shop something, call someone or fix something at the house:
DO NOT DO ANY OF THOSE THINGS UNLESS IT IS TIME CRITICAL.
Smart people have a note page for different categories such as: MY CARE, HOME, WORK, RELATIONSHIP, CHILDREN and they write down straight away the thought, idea or the thing that come to mind on the right note page on their phone and then forget about it.
They don`t fill their mind with all the noise or tasks that are coming their way. They organize it and handle the tasks when it is appropriate. Appropriate means when they have scheduled time for those activities in their week plan, not before.
You need to keep your mind clean from noise and disturbance.
You are only going to do whatever needs to be done WHEN YOU HAVE SCHEDULED IT in your week plan.
If you have scheduled HOME activities on Mondays from 3pm – 4pm, then you will make the needed phone calls or emails on Monday and not think about it or do anything about it before that time.
WHAT PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING A SMART AND EASY LIFE
DO AND DON’T:
THEY ORDER FOOD ONLINE ONCE PER WEEK AND GETS IT DELIVERED AT THEIR HOME.
THEY AUTOMATE AND DELEGATE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY DON`T NEED TO DO.
THEY FILL THEIR LIVES WITH ACTIVITIES THAT GIVE MEANING TO THEM.
THEY DON`T CHOOSE TO WATCH TV OR BEING AT SOME A LOT BECAUSE THEY ARE PRIORITIZING OTHER FUN ACTIVITIES INSTEAD.
THEY ARE ALWAYS POSITIVE AND LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS.
THEY ARE GIVERS, ALWAYS INTERESTED IN HELPING OTHERS:
THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE EASIEST AND SMARTEST WAY TO REACH THEIR GOAL.
