How to start strong and stay strong2022-12-25
“Your business is never really good or bad 'out there.' Your business is either good or bad right between your own two ears.”
—Zig Ziglar
The world is going through a difficult time currently from a public health perspective, economically, and culturally. How to navigate these turbulent times?
Life satisfaction (happiness, hope and meaning) is based on internal perception, on your feelings and thoughts about external events. Life success (health, wealth, influence) can be objectively good or bad. There are individuals or instances where life satisfaction is ahead of life success, and that could be due to a positive and optimistic mental attitude or to addictions. There are other individuals or instances where life satisfaction is behind life success, and that can be due to a negative and pessimistic mental attitude or mental illness.
The key to having both satisfaction and success in the long-term is to keep your life satisfaction slightly ahead of your life success, using non-addictive means, and to keep working at improving both. A positive mental attitude and optimism can be learned and practiced, and mental illness can be treated and overcome.
A place to start is by tracking them in your life, and understanding how to improve them. Journaling, therapy, or success coaches help. Our Life x Mind app can do that easily and inexpensively, and is a great habit to put on your New Year’s Resolutions list, alongside a Mediterranean-keto diet, daily 10,000 steps, and calling your family and friends more often.
Have a great 2023!
Live. Happier. Longer.
