DO YOU MIND?
The ingredient to keeping the mind right!
Did you know 615 million people worldwide suffer from (Anxiety or Depression). Did you know that 420 million people have a phone addiction. Did you know that antidepressant intake has increased 400% since 1988. And did you know that research has been showing massive findings in the using of our muscles to help improve the mind. I know from experience and self-discovery that it truly works. I just returned from Bryce Canyon in Utah and Zion National Park in Utah. Oh that's right!. . . 987 miles on the car and 15 - 22 miles on the body. It was truly an epic time of exercise and mental building. You see, exercise helps spur the development of new nerve cells and increase the connection between brain cells. Exercises also lowers blood pressure, improves cholesterol levels, balances sugar levels, and reduces mental stress. All of these can improve the brain, but also the heart.
Getting the mind and heart right is absolutely crucial, if you want to gain anything in life. This may sound rude, but I do not care what other so called gurus are trying to sale about next level. . . "truth is truth" and "fact is fact." Being able to achieve anything worth while comes with staying focus and keeping your heart on the ability of staying focus. I know it is hard, but so, is listening to the same old monotony. Hell, monotony is too easy and this journey requires strong lungs for lasting consistency. And listening skills for better communication. These two abilities come together with staying focus. But how is it done? And how do we maintain it? We all have the same 24 hours in a day. So, the answer is simple, do you hold value on your time? If so, great!! But why do distractions kill others? You heard me! Why do, distractions in life make people reposition their actions spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, or financially? I want you to answer these questions for yourself. I had too, so, you should too!
"When you focus on being blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance." - Joel Osteen
In fact, some those adjustments and abilities have helped me wake up at 3 A.M. for five years. Sure it was a struggle for months, but every step of life comes with struggles or obstacles. I know the hike in Utah came with struggles and held obstacles. Especially, hiking in 1 - 18 degree weather. For those who've not ever made the trip, you have to at some point. Because it is such a beautiful spot for hiking and camping. My brother Greg and I challenged ourselves to the 5.2 miles round trip with a 1,500 feet of elevation. . . oh it was a blast. However, it holds some of the most dangerous hikes in the world. And yes, some people have died hiking in these areas. But hiking and reading are two of my favorite hobbies in life. Because I know they bring great mental cleanse. And mental cleaning is regularly needed for everyone. Of course, not all people think this way.
So, what is mental cleansing? Cleansing is the discovery of the next detox for our whole body. The mind needs it as well! For me, it was hiking, prayer, and meditation. That's right. . . it helped me to break free. I believe we ought to break free from the monotony and give our minds, and spirit a break. Giving ourselves a break is like going back to school and getting that time off for the holidays. Then having this time off will give us an opportunity to shift toward openness and clarity which gives us a better spirit and readiness for tomorrow. When you don't break free, there's no real focus. And unfortunately, too many people are focused all over the place. All in multiple areas that have nothing to do with their goals, vision, or purpose. Therefore, we lose in the opportunity of gaining or achieving and it is can be absolutely costly. People that tend to do this loose the momentum in life. Here is the best example, if Michael Jordan had not taken a break to refocus. He would've never seen the next championships in basketball. Here is another example, had Steve Jobs not gotten fired. He would've never seen the focus of Apple, Co. being at NeX, Co.
"Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay foused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life present to them." Jack Canfield
We all have prior experiences and lessons of life. Some have had greater struggles, obstacles, and/or conditions. But those areas have made us stronger and more victorious in life, which means we have more in the tank. We sometimes need to step back and find any of our skills, talents, abilities, love, and passions toward the art of making a difference for ourselves and others within our environment. Stay focus and get your mind right.
Best,
