Ten Ways To Develop A Champion Mindset
Have you ever wanted to have a Champion Mindset so that when you put your mind to
something it feels like a walk in the park to achieve it? Well here are ten easy steps to achieving exactly that. It's as easy as smiling, focusing on your strengths and you even get to make mistakes. And everyone can do that...
1. Smile. Happy people smile often, even if it's that inner smile of gratitude, so smile more. Science is finally confirming what we already knew; the more you smile, the better you will feel about yourself. Share as many smiles as you can with as many people as you can. Smiling, by the way, is also an antidote for depression and feeling generally down. It activates chemicals in your body which assist you to feel better.
2. Make Decisions. The more proactive you are about your life, the more alive you will feel. Proactive, engaged people make more decisions every day. Think about it, if you only make one or two decisions, then they are really going to play on your mind and be important. If you make dozens of decisions every day then you are not going to notice when some of them do not pay off or get the result you want. Remember, Champions of Life have made more mistakes than people who are less successful, they just kept going. Which leads us to our next tip...
3. Make Mistakes. Be willing to make mess! People who aim to get everything right invariably end up doing very little, because they perceive far too much risk in action. If you see all mistakes as feedback for how you can do things better next time, you will be willing to make a mess. Give up perfection! It's so unachievable most of the time that it's the same as having no standards! Champions of Life know that they have to practice before they get it right, and they're willing to do that.
4. Have More Play. See your life and choices as play and you will experience it differently. The more seriously you take everything, the less opportunities you will see when they come along, you will be too busy focusing on how things "should" and "need" to be. Champions of Life know that they can't take themselves too seriously.
5. Be Generous. The more value you give to others, the better you will feel about yourself. Beware! There is a difference between horse trading and generosity. Horse trading is where you give with the anticipation of getting. Generosity doesn't see the receipt back of a gift, it just gives. Contribution beyond yourself is one sure-fire way to love yourself and your life.
6. Raise Your Standards. The key to great living is to expect and demand more of yourself. The better you get at this, the better your quality of life will be. Life is not about "getting by" or "good enough". It is about you giving your best, risking failure, playing at 100% and then doing it again the next day. Don't play at 100% only when it's easy to, either. Play at a higher level especially when the going is tough! That is where true champions play.
7. Challenge Yourself Every Day. Never settle for what's "close enough". Don't settle, because this will slowly erode your results, and then your confidence. Champions of life are willing to go the extra mile, because they know it's a pretty empty road!
8. Focus on What You Can Do. Champions of Life focus on what they can control and influence, and leave the rest alone. People who struggle focus on what is beyond their control and so, naturally, they feel powerless. Focus on what you can do today, and then do the same tomorrow. Make a ten day commitment to only focus on what you can do each day, and see what happens.
9. Focus on Your Strengths. Champions of Life believe in themselves because they focus on what they are good at and what they like about themselves. People who have low self-confidence focus on their weaknesses and where they aren't strong, and then wonder why they feel down! Write down your top twenty strengths, and what you are good at. Write down everything you are learning and enjoying and see what happens.
10. Be a Leader. Be your own leader and your own Champion of Life. Be the person you admire most! Write down every day what you are grateful for, what you are enjoying, what you are creating and who you love. Extraordinary people are ordinary people making ordinary decisions! Be that person, inspire and lead others through the example you set every day.
