5 Simple Tips That Will Help You WIN Everyday And Keep Stress At Bay

If you find yourself in stress and overwhelm, here are five simple things you can do to immediately break out and get back on track.

Let’s dive in.

#1: Move Your Body

Get your blood flowing with a quick workout or just go outside for a brisk walk.

The point is to move and change your state of being. This works wonders and will always work wonders. Movement of your body moves your mind. Deliberate movement will trigger a different state of being. Do 25 jumping jacks quickly and your body chemistry will change. And so will your mood. Immediately.

#2: Better Nutrition

Fuel your body with better nutrition.

Processed foods high in carbs and fat won’t do you any favors. Think meat and veggies, some fruit and nuts, and minimize processed carbs. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.

#3: Recovery & Sleep

You can’t expect to be your best when your sleep sucks.

Your body recovers and repairs itself when you sleep. Restful sleep is a free performance enhancer. And so many people don’t pay enough attention to it. You get to practice it every night, so get real good at it and it will pay you back tenfold. How? Feeling refreshed and invigorated when you wake up everyday. It’s possible.

#4: Build Your Circle

Who do you hang out with?

Your circle of friends will have an impact on your life, no doubt. Good friends support, encourage, inspire, and love one another. Take a look at your circle of friends. Do you see a positive future with them or do they spread negative energy? Make the choice to build up your circle of friends and be grateful you have them in your life. An amazing friend group can enhance your life.

#5: Feed Your Mind

You’re getting influenced everyday whether you realize it or not.

Take control of your “inputs” so you can get the right “outputs.” Reading positive things and consuming content and information that enriches your life is key. Negativity will leave a mark in you if you constantly consume it. Feed your mind with abundant thoughts and expectations and they will reveal itself in your life, always.

Keep it simple and execute. This is your life. Circle back to these five tips whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed. You’ve got this!

Quick Anxiety And Stress Tamer Using This Breathing Technique

This powerful breathing technique has been used by everyone from Navy Seals and first responders to nurses and teachers.

Use it the next time you’re feeling tense, anxious, or stressed. It will help you begin to relax from your very first exhale.

BOX BREATHING involves controlling both parts of your breath (breathing in AND out) as well as holding your breath.

It’s called “box” breathing because you do each part of the breath for an equal amount of time (4 counts), as if you are breathing around a square.

To start, sit up straight in a chair, feet flat on the floor.
Inhale through your nose for a 4 count.
Hold your breath for 4 seconds.
Exhale for a 4 count.
Hold your breath again for 4 seconds.
For a full session of box breathing, you simply repeat the cycle for a total of 4-6 times through.

You can adjust and play around with the duration of the counts like 5 to 8 seconds on each phase. I typically do 5-6 seconds on each phase.

This box breathing technique works fast to get you centered and calm. So the next time you find yourself anxious or stressed, do this breath work and immediately experience the benefits.

I taught my daughter this technique as she often got anxious prior to her track meet events. It worked like a charm (still does) and it’ll work for you.

40-Day Prosperity Plan

I just completed the 40-Day Prosperity Plan the other day. Wow. So what is it, you ask?

The 40-Day Prosperity Plan is from the book The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price.

It’s a 40-Day plan to manifest abundant prosperity in your life and affairs. The plan has 10 spiritual affirmations/statements. You are to read one each day, meditate on it for at least 5-15 minutes, and then write about it in a journal. On the second day, you are to read then next affirmation/statement and do the same. Continue through, and then after the tenth day, you’ll repeat this 10-day cycle again and so on until you repeat the cycle four times for a total of 40 days.

This must be done 40 consecutive days or you’ll have to start over.

My approach to this was simple and the results, amazing.

During my meditation each morning, I watched/listened to the corresponding day’s video below while I performed my steel mace 360 swings. I performed a total of 200 swings each time, sometimes breaking it up in sets of 20 reps. I got in a “flow” while doing the swings and watching/listening to the affirmations. I did this until I reached 200 swings each time, which was about 15 minutes.

(Instead of steel mace swings, you can do kettlebell swings, which is what I did on a few of the days. I did a total of 300 swings broken up in sets of 20. The goal is to do a continuous movement where you don’t have to think of any technical skills. You just “do” and get into the flow while watching/listening to the affirmations.)

After that, I took a few minutes to reflect and write down thoughts in my journal, then took my daily morning drink Powerhouse Greens.

This 40-day journey can be quite transforming. Are you ready to prove your discipline, and open up spiritual abundance and prosperity while getting healthier and more focused?

Order The Abundance Book – It’s a short book with the details and only ~ $7.
Order Powerhouse Greens – This is just part of my morning routine and absolutely energizing when you add this to the plan.
Order a steel mace bell (optional), or use a kettlebell
Commit and move yourself to a higher level. Prove your discipline and reap the rewards.

Do not start this without the book. There are details that offer deeper understanding to all this. My “twist” on this was adding movement during my meditation times while watching/listening to the affirmations.

The Importance of Building a Personal Brand

Your personal brand helps differentiate you from the competition by showing the unique things that you offer. It tells people who you are and what value you bring to the world. People remember you before they remember your products or services.

Branding helps with attracting clients, employers, employees, partners, etc. No matter what your particular goal is, your personal brand has a huge impact on whether or not people want to work with you. Through your brand, your customers better understand what you do and you become an influencer in your field. Established personal brand holders are often seen as the ‘go to’ people in their industry.

Developing a strong personal brand brings huge advantages to your business. But it also helps build your confidence in your own work as you focus on what you do well and how you help people.

BUILD YOUR UNIQUE PERSONAL BRAND

Even so, the whole idea of developing a personal brand is uncomfortable for many people. If this is you, then be honest with yourself about how you feel about developing a personal brand, as this will help you address any internal barriers to the process.

Ask yourself how you feel:
➢ Does it feel like self-aggrandizement?
➢ Is it a big ego trip?
➢ Will you become an unbearable self-promoter?

If any of these statements resonate with you, you need a mindset change to see the positive impact you can make with a strong personal brand.

Have One Goal

Most of us put too much pressure on ourselves.

We have a zillion different projects going at once, with none of them really getting anywhere (I’ve been there).

After making little progress on any one thing, our motivation starts to lag, naturally.

Yet we keep doing this time and time again.

When we see little progress and are working constantly, we exhaust ourselves, body, spirit, and mind.

One of the top ways to get motivated and stay that way is to focus on one goal at a time.

Give it your total focus and appreciate each little step, letting the small victories add up.

5 Habits That Promote Personal Growth

Personal growth doesn’t happen by accident. It takes work, the right mindset, and a willingness to improve every day. Developing good habits helps you work toward improvement and personal growth. Habits become the framework for building a better life.

Habits are the things you do regularly without really thinking about them. They become part of your routine. Habits that promote personal growth help you maintain a positive outlook, improve, and deal with life’s challenges. Here are five essential habits to help you get started.

1. Meditate
Meditation is taking the time to shut out the world and focus on your thoughts, feelings, and goals. It’s time to examine how and why you react to challenges in life. You can also use medication to prepare yourself for life’s challenges through personal growth. Understanding and having control over yourself is the foundation of personal growth.

Meditation can be a formal process where you set aside time each day to relax, concentrate, and listen to your thoughts and emotions. The act of meditating daily is a habit, and performing daily meditation helps build the positive habits of peacefulness, understanding, and control. You can also take time as you need it throughout the day to meditate on your current situation or circumstances. Meditation can be a “pause” in your response to life’s challenges to allow you time to collect your thoughts.

2. Gratitude/Prayer
The habit of gratitude comes partly from learning, though meditation, what you can and cannot control. Gratitude also comes from learning to be mindful of each moment and seeing your circumstances with a positive mindset. When you learn to practice gratitude as a habit, you approach every situation with an open mind, looking for the best, instead of expecting the worst. Gratitude promotes your personal growth by improving your mindset.

Psychologists believe that people who practice gratitude have a better sense of well-being, are more positive, and have a better support system of family, friends, and mentors than people who haven’t made gratitude a habit. Gratitude allows you to accept help and support gracefully, increasing your opportunities for personal growth. It also makes you a more positive personal and improves your mindset and reaction to life’s challenges.

3. Affirmations
Affirmations are a way to build your self-esteem, outlook, and promote personal growth. By using affirmations as a habit, you counter negative self-talk with positive beliefs. Affirmations can be spoken or written and should be something you reflect on daily.

You can use affirmations to remind yourself that you have the abilities, skills, and control to be a better person. You can also use affirmations to stay focused on achieving your goals. Affirmations promote personal growth by placing your positive qualities and greatest desires first and foremost in your mind. By focusing on your affirmations, you create a mindset of improved personal growth.

4. Read and Learn
Take time every day to read something or learn something new. Reading and learning are habits that promote your personal growth by improving your skills, knowledge, and self-esteem. The more you know and understand, the more positive and productive you will be.

You can develop the habit of reading and learning by subscribing to a magazine or an online class or service. Chose a topic that interests you or something you’re curious about learning. The simple habit of learning a new word each day, reading a chapter of a book, or watching a short how-to or history lesson video increase your knowledge and promote your personal growth.

5. Exercise
Like meditation, exercise can be a formal or informal time each day. Formal exercise, like going to the gym or taking an exercise class, promotes both physical and mental personal growth. But informal exercise is important too. Taking time each day to stretch, get up and walk around, or even to practice deep breathing exercises helps to improve physical health and relieve stress.

Doctors and health coaches agree that exercise releases endorphins, or chemicals that give pleasure, into the brain. Endorphins can lover your stress response and improve your immune system. Exercise not only promotes a healthy body, but it also promotes a healthy mind. Making exercise a habit promotes personal growth by helping you lessen stress and be physically able to handle life’s challenges.

The habits of meditation, gratitude, affirmations, reading, and learning, and exercise are all vital habits that promote personal growth. You can create these habits by focusing on yourself and your mind, body, and spirit.

Don’t Mistake Movement For Achievement

We can all get caught up in the little things. For business owners, we have to break that down even further. Are we doing the things that grow our business and lead to revenue, or are we doing things that can (and should be) delegated or outsourced? Be busy at your skillset, doing the stuff you enjoy doing.
