Everything we do and don?t do stems from a thought, a feeling and an action. So if we talk about ?root cause?, identifying and focusing thought is what changes outcomes. But there?s a problem.
The problem is that scientists tell us we have between 12K and 50K thoughts/day. Most are based on previous life experiences. Some thoughts are easy to deal with, some cause perpetual challenges within us and others cause conflict with other people. It?s a lot of internal chatter.
So what?s this internal chatter is costing you? It costs in relationships. In job performance and productivity. There?s costs associated with self esteem and feelings about how and where we spend our time. So there?s a lot at stake.
With all that?s at stake, the truth is that most of us simply react. We rarely stop to identify the thought that lead us to taking an action. Can you afford to be unaware of your thoughts?
Many of us have blind spots when it comes to how we think. Your success or failure is about becoming aware of your thoughts, managing an emotion and changing your actions to get the outcomes you want. In other words, your success is based on a conscious choice.
It?s all about your choice. A choice to be conscious and live around thoughts that help you get what you want out of life. Or a choice to let things be as they have always been and feeling guilty or unsettled about it. For example, procrastination can be one of those thoughts. Promising to get organized but not doing it. Having every intention of working on priorities, but rarely doing so.
Whatever your choice, it affects your outcomes. It impacts your internal, external and global view of life as full or restricted. If you want to start living life to it?s fullest, the antidote for that is choice.
