Awaken The Species Review
Before bed each night I'd read a quotation or scripture or phrase - anything Awaken The Species Review that might have positive connotations. I'd read this before bed, and then if I woke up that night having nightmares about my it felt like failed life - then I'd speak out loud to myself and STOP that thought from continuing. I'd then immediately SHIFT focus to something more positive. It took many months of practice, but eventually I gained control.
After a while, the dreams themselves fell away. The question for me though, was, could I also do the same thing during the day during my 'normal life'. Yes. And so I began to do so. When I got back into building my business I had some doubts about how things would turn out, it had been four years after all.... negative thoughts so easily come into our minds.. but I continued to use my stop points and shift focus to better things. In essence, I began writing my own script in my mind instead of letting negative though patterns write it for me.
The results have been far greater joy, success and happiness than I previously thought possible. It al began however with a single thought that said, I don't want to think like this anymore. Which is why we must be so aware of our thoughts. Because without awareness, if we're not thinking about what we're thinking about, then our minds can so easily run off on their own tangent -Just like life really. If we don't keep track of it, it'll take us wherever it pleases. The key is understanding that it all begins in the mind.
It just feels natural at the beginning of each year to reevaluate where you are in your life and in your business, especially since as a small business owner, the two are inseparable. If you feel like you're not yet living up to your potential and you're ready to end the struggling or frustration, then it's time to step up to your dreams and commit to a small business strategy that works.
