CREATING NEW THOUGHTS
We’re almost halfway through 2025 (!!!) - so it’s time for a check-in.
If you’re like me and are still wanting to meet certain goals or get certain results for this year but have yet to get there, ask yourself: Am I training my mind to think differently?
I just experienced a situation a few weeks ago where I had worked years for a certain goal, and once I got a taste of what it felt like achieving it, my mind was feeding me thoughts and lies that I knew weren’t serving me (like: this won’t last, you don’t deserve this, you’re still so far from where you want to be) - yet I knew that these thoughts were programmed from years of operating this way prior.
What did this remind me?
I need to be better at training my mind.
You can’t think the same way, act the same way, respond the same way and expect better outcomes.
I heard one of my mentors this week say, “It takes the same amount of effort to stay poor as it does to get rich. You just have to change your habits and thinking.”
Just like we train the muscles in our body, we have to train the muscles of our mind the same way. It is highly likely that every one of your thoughts, reactions, and default patterns have been shaped by years and years of repetition, oftentimes without even realizing it. What you believe about yourself, what you avoid, and what you tolerate is all programming. But the good news is, it’s all rewireable.
Training your mind includes:
Putting new thoughts in your head - pin it up, write it down, stick it in your car or on your laptop, put as your screensaver.
Listening to and reading good stuff every day.
Getting around a different group of people who push you to be better and want to think differently.
Some days will feel harder than others, some mental reps will feel heavier than you expected. But with every rep, every new decision, and every time you do it differently, you’re teaching your brain a new pattern of how you’re going to be operating from here on out.
Training starts today!
