Stack These
Last year I did a little personal development course
It was interesting and I found it good but didn't feel I really needed anything more from it than what I got or to progress to the next course
When looking at these courses and reading books etc you do find that a lot of the people are really all over the shop to begin with
Highly stressed
Worrying about impressing someone (Mother, father, friends etc)
Getting little to no sleep
Little to no exercise
and diet is all over the shop
And I'm very lucky that I'm doing alright on those things ( can always do better of course but never going to be perfect) and happy with my lot at the minute and don't feel any urgency to change anything
Reading all those personal development books over the years has probably stood to me in terms of trying to look after my mental health as well
and one thing that comes up constantly
is our negative thought's
and more importantly that we are all wired this way
it's just simply in our DNA to put ourselves down and have these stupid little petty/ jealous moments where we like to put others down as well
and when you realise that it makes it easier to "Course correct" yourself and say
sometimes "I'm being a gobshite here, I need to stop this"
What it also means is that you need to make a CONSCIOUS effort to flip things over to a more positive mind frame
And a great way to do this when you are feeling down is to
Stack The Win's
^^^^^ Yep, make a list and stack them
Compared to what we usually do which is
Stack The Loses
and it's ingrained in our mentality
It's not our fault
We are simply wired that way
But we do need to check ourselves and try to re wire our thinking a little bit more
I've stopped and started this numerous times but it's really good for when going through those times you are struggling
Maybe a few mental week's of work or personal issues that you just have to grind out and get through
It really helps to STACK THE WINS each day and get your mind frame right and ready for battle
Not in a happy clappy BS way
But genuinely count how good we have it
Because when you look back on what people have had to endure over the past 100's of years and you look at so many countries in the world at the minute that are run by corruption
and war
Those loads of wins to be stacked
Even when your 14 day old son refuses to go to sleep at 2:30am on a Saturday night :)
So get stacking
and always remember
Think Big And Kick Ass
