With all the Craziness in the world today, it is important to find productive, positive ways to create change in your life. Whether you are struggling or experiencing great success right now, you can always benefit from evaluating how you see your life and those around you.
My biggest solution as of late has been in focusing on more gratitude and appreciation for what I have in my life. I truly believe that if you trade your expectations for appreciation, you will see some massive benefits in all areas of your life.
It’s hard as Entrepreneurs to do this because we spend our lives working on goals and productivity. But the paradox here is that you can certainly increase your productivity and results if and when you focus your mind on gratitude and appreciation.
So remember, It is possible to Train or Retrain Your Brain…
-you are not your mind
-your mind is a tool
-you need to train your mind
Neuroplasticity is a scientific term that proves that you can program new and more productive pathways in your mind at any age and at any time. The secret is repetition and focus. The neurons that fire together wire together. You simply need to increase the frequency and consistency of the responses you have to situations in your life.
