Happy MONDAY!

How was your weekend? Welcome to your new week filled with opportunities.

Here are ways to make sure you are productive in your life.

Maybe you want a better life, but find it difficult to do what’s necessary to make changes.

You might want to experience growth, but don’t find change very comfortable.

Perhaps you want to stop getting upset about things, but your mind insists on re-running every drama.

Wherever life finds you today, by managing your thoughts, feelings and behaviors you can set yourself up for all the success you can imagine.

Ask better questions for a more passionate productive life If you’ve been asking yourself ‘why does this always happen to me’, ‘how can I get through the day’…you’re asking the wrong question and the answers your mind will come up with won’t support you in making helpful changes. You’re focused on what’s wrong.

If you ask yourself ‘how can I make today great’, ‘what will I celebrate today’, ‘what’s the most important thing I can do for myself today’, ‘how can I be of service today’, you’ll be rewarded with more uplifting answers. The choice is simple, be a passenger or the captain of your life.

Create better rituals and patterns for a more productive life We’re all controlled by our patterns and rituals. There is the first thing in the morning ritual, heading out to exercise or not ritual, managing our day ritual, and our getting ready for bed ritual. Even the way we ask questions is a ritual we’ve created which becomes a pattern of being. Everything affects everything else. Your life develops from your patterns and to create a better life you need to make better decisions. Which means creating better patterns. Doing what it takes isn’t always easy, it requires determination and discipline.

Challenge yourself and take control of the state of mind you live in. If you want something new you have to let go of something old. Remember, we are what we repeatedly do.

Ask yourself if the rituals and patterns you have in place are truly serving you, if the answer is no, replace them one at a time.

Don’t talk yourself out of your dreams If you are a natural worrier, there’s no greater way to talk yourself out of your dreams and desires. No matter how hard it is, letting your “big” worry out into the light and talking about it with someone close to you, allow you to see it more clearly. You don’t have to suffer, take a deep breath and remind yourself the only thing that’s creating worry right now are the thoughts you’re thinking. You are the cause of your worry or fear.
