Thought Processing

I’ve been doing this thing all my life, but I’ve only recently heard it referred to as a ‘thought download’.

Where you just write everything down on a list to get it out of your head and onto paper. Then you can properly evaluate it.

My favourite way to do a thought download is to imagine that I’m with a team of experts in a board room meeting (if you’ve seen the TV show The Politician, it’s kind of like that in my head).

They can take care of everything for me.

I can offload anything to them. They will fix it and make suggestions that my own self wouldn’t normally come up with. I think “Right, Gerry, over to you. What do you suggest we do about the ‘staying-up-too-late’ issue?”

And I’ll get perspectives from imaginary experts and I’ll make an executive decision.

“Right, we’re going with Barbara’s idea of scheduling everything down to tiny details, and we’ll meet back here in 3 days to evaluate and rehash the whole thing.”

This isn’t new to me. I’ve been doing it automatically every day since I was a kid. I thought every few hours everyone just stopped, evaluated the last few hours of thoughts, figured out how they fit into the puzzle of life, and then filed them into a mental library to deal with at the next board meeting.

And since articulating it, no one else I’ve met says they do this.

How do you process your thoughts? I’d love to know.

My Daily Schedule

Wake.

Show up for my dreams.

Sleep.

Repeat.

That’s all that’s really on my schedule.

Showing up for my dreams looks different every day.

But I’ve committed to doing SOMETHING towards my dreams, every day.

400 Days of Blogging

This is my 400th day of blogging in a row.

When I started blogging *inconsistently* in 2017, I had heard it takes 21 days to make a habit stick.

Now I'm officially calling BS on that theory.

21 days of anything isn't going to change your life. Or 30 days. Or even 60.

If something matters, you have to do it every single day – for as long as you possibly can.

It's really only at 400 days that I'm starting to see a return in my blogging efforts.

Four. Hundred. Days.

21 days in, I was getting less than 2 readers a day. Now I'm getting about 79 readers a day (hello, lovely reader! Seeing that number is getting me super excited and motivated to continue, so thank you!).

I've got 330 days to go until my "two years of blogging" goal. And even then, I don't expect I will stop.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing daily for years.

There is no shortcut to your dream.

Commit.

Show up right now for what you want.

Do something towards your dream TODAY.

And then do it again tomorrow.

Because consistency isn't about a 21 day fix.

It's about deciding to BE the kind of person you want to be, every single day, forever.

Your Success Has Already Arrived

You're just about to have a massive breakthrough.

It's here.

Right now.

Waiting for you.

You're THIS close.

You're about to blow up.

Your life is about to get 10x better.

The career. The clients. The relationship. The money. It's all here.

Your success is not even "on its way".

It's HERE.

It's arrived.

I signed it from the delivery guy this morning.

It came with a note.

"Do not stop. YOU DO NOT STOP."

All you have to do is not give up.

It's here. All of it.

I promise.

But only if you keep going.

You Can Make Money Doing What You Love

You can make money doing what you love.

There are people out there right now, this very second, who want your talents, skills, and services.

And they want to pay you money for it.

The ONLY reason you're not making money doing what you love is because you haven't decided that you can.

You think that your thing isn't something people want to pay for.

Listen – if you told me 5 years ago that I would make a full-time income helping strangers on the internet achieve their impossible goals and dreams, I wouldn't have believed you.

Surely that's not a real job?

But now it is.

Because I decided.

You can make money doing what you love too. A lot of it.

You just have to DECIDE that you can.

It’s simpler than you think.

Already Done

What if you just decided your goal was already done and nothing could undo it?

How would you show up for it?

How would you feel?

Surround Yourself With the Best People

I often think about that saying “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

I think about who that makes me.

I think about who I make others.

I want the answer for both to be “next level”.

I spent the evening with my grandparents, and I hope I soaked in a little of their wisdom.

I spent the day in the car with my partner, Daniel, and I hope I soaked in a little of his contentment.

I spent the morning listening to podcasts from my coach, Stacey, and I hope I soaked in a little of her mindset.

Who are you? Who would you like to be? Who do you need to surround yourself with?

All My Best Ideas Happen in the Shower

All my best ideas happen in the shower.

For me it's like 10% washing, 90% strategizing.

Especially last month when I was trying to hit so many goals.

Every morning in July I stood in the shower and instead of just shampooing my hair, I shampooed my thoughts.

Now that I am Michael Jordan, what do I do?

What creative action would create the result I want?

Now that I have chosen to create this result, what do I do?

Then instead of just conditioning my hair, I conditioned my mind.

I can do this.

I'm willing to do whatever it takes.

I am unstoppable.

Rinse & repeat until the desired outcome is achieved.
