\nactor and former American football player.
\nTerry has a Youtube channel where he talks about Motivation, insights and
\nhealth.
\nOn his video “How to Beat Discouragement”, he says the essence of
\ndiscouragement is self pity and that self-pity stops all progress and all action.
\nSelf pity will definitely cause you discouragement and unhappiness.
\nAs soon as you start getting into self-pity you just STOP! and no progress
\nis made.
\nSelf pitty is a feeling that you have when you focus on the negatives going on
\naround you and you place the blame externally, outside of you.
\nYou can not control other people and you can not control events…all you can do
\nis control how you respond to each one of those!
\nSo what does Terry say is the way to stop discouragement and to end the
\npitty party?
\nGRATITUDE. Think about the things you got! Change your focus from what you don’t
\nhave in your life to what you do have.
\nIf you think you have nothing to be grateful for then let me share some things
\nwith you…
\n
\n* Did you know that 1 out of 7 people in the world are illiterate?
\n* That only 9% of the world owns a car?
\n* 100 Million people are homeless world wide and 1.6 Billion people lack
\nadequate housing!
\n* The average salary in the world is $1,480/mo or $928 British Pounds.
\n* If you make over $32,400 a year, you are in the top 1% of income earners in
\nthe WORLD!!!!
\n
\nSo you are telling yourself you have nothing to be grateful for!
\nNow I am not saying that you haven’t in the past or you are not currently
\nstruggling with some major issues in your online business or in your life.
\nWhat I am saying is that focusing and dwelling on that stuff is going to
\ndiscourage you and stop you in your tracks.
\nTo help change your focus, move you out of discouragement and get you moving
\ntowards success, implement the practice of gratitude into your daily life.
\nPreferably first thing in the morning. Think of 3 to 5 things that you are
\ngrateful for and preferably write them down. Now if you are really discouraged
\nand think you have nothing to be grateul for than start with just one thing.
\nKnow you don’t just say it and move on with your day. You must close your eyes
\nshut out all distractions and truly feel the gratitude for the thing you are
\ngrateful for. Truly focus on how it makes you feel and sit there for 3 to 5
\nminutes just letting the feelings of gratitude well up inside you and spread
\nthroughout your body.
\nIf you let this happen I can assure you you will want to bottle up the amazing
\nwarm of bliss and and use it everyday because it is such an amazing feeling!
\nPlease try this and do it now after this episode and then implement this into
\nyour morning each and everyday.
\nIt will make an incredible positive impact on your business and your life!!!
\nSo thanks again so much for listening to another episode of Monday’s mindset
\nMinute and…
\nUntil next time I wish you a Brilliant Life!!!
