Training the mind by turning thoughts into ACTION!

“If your thoughts determine your actions”
How are you creating better thoughts to action?

As business owners we are challenged everyday to ensure we are working on the priorities, or the income producing activities that we need to do for our business to grow and thrive. These activities are important; however we have to ensure we are working on ourselves………………………. our body, mind and spirit.

Our mind can be creative but only if we take the time to let it. As a mum of 4 and a business owner, I have often found myself doing a million tasks and trying to get them all done at the same time, multitasking I think it is called.

If you think back to the last time you were overwhelmed by many tasks, did you feel hopeless or helpless and really didn’t achieve anything? The pile of work is still there yet its 3pm and you have not had lunch yet. I am sure I am not the only person who has fallen into this pattern. Am I?

I have discovered how to go into that place of unconscious creativity where the mind can flow and develop creative ideas and more importantly give clarity to troubling situations. The ability to look at a situation and ask a few questions helps determine a course of action that will provide better outcomes.

1. What is the worst thing that could happen (the consequences)
2. What can I do about the situation (Can I fix it or is it out of my control)
3. What can I learn from this, so as it doesn’t happen again or the ability to achieve a better outcome

A few books have totally inspired a new way of thinking and doing for me in recent times so I thought I would share them with you.
Stop worrying and start living – Dale Carnegie
Excuses Begone – Dr Wayne Dyer
The Four Agreements – Miguel Ruiz

Theses books have had some great messages and also provide many things to ponder and change within me. I hope that if you read these you will also gain great knowledge and inspiration. More importantly better thoughts to action.
