To get the best out of yourself start using your feelings as triggers to realign your thinking.
Don’t play Russian roulette with your emotions and allow a feeling that crops up at random to dictate your actions.
Rather use each of your feelings as a stimulus that starts you questioning, “what thought made me feel that way?” Then, when you find what triggered that thought, reset your focus onto the track you want to travel to achieve your objective. Then trigger the emotion that will drive you up that track.
At the start of meetings I often ask my clients, “how do you feel today?” They always have feelings, sometimes good, sometimes not so good. But they never ask themselves, “what triggered me to feel that way?”
It’s simple, if you focus on your debts, it will most likely trigger miserable feelings. So, stop thinking about your debts. Start thinking about having money to burn. How does that make you feel? Better. You have fired a different emotional trigger.
Now ask, “what have I got to do to create lots of money?” Work on your business or building your career. Keep focused on who will benefit from you having lots of money (other than you) and get down to work, do it for them. Very soon you will start to feel better. Your thinking will become clearer. Your results will improve.
