Month: May 2021

It’s been over 14 months since the pandemic started impacting our lives, and it looks like it’s far from over.

And, if you’ve had access to ANY kind of media in this time, you must have seen or heard endless clips of negative news.

It’s been hard, if not impossible, to stay positive and optimistic the whole time – even for me. And those of you who know me will know that I am a very positive person.

And even if you haven’t watched any news, people around you have, so you couldn’t avoid the negativity.

And here’s the problem…

It’s been over 14 months since the pandemic started impacting our lives, and it looks like it’s far from over.

And, if you’ve had access to ANY kind of media in this time, you must have seen or heard endless clips of negative news.

It’s been hard, if not impossible, to stay positive and optimistic the whole time – even for me. And those of you who know me will know that I am a very positive person.

And even if you haven’t watched any news, people around you have, so you couldn’t avoid the negativity.

And here’s the problem…

Do you have difficulty remembering the names of people you’ve just met, or a concept that you’ve just learned?

Many people do; including me. You see, your brain is very good at visualising pictures, remembering places, and building associations. It’s not very good at remembering abstract bits of knowledge though.

So, this week I’d like to share a very quick and effective method for remembering abstract names, concepts, definitions, rules, etc.

How good are you at solving problems?

Will it surprise you to learn that most people aren’t as effective as they believe they are.

They think they’ve seen it all and that nothing can surprise them, and they get used to solve every problem they face in the same way. After all, it’s worked well for them so far.

So, they reject learning new approaches and stick to their old (proven?) ways; not willing to try new approaches.

But one day, the inevitable happens.

Last week I covered emotional cravings, and how to overcome them. In the article, I touched on mindset management as part of the solution, but I didn’t elaborate.

So, today I’d like to focus on the topic of Mindset management and mindfulness.

If you want to change your world, you need to change your mindset.

And, if you want to become successful at anything, you need focus, awareness, and positive action daily. Mastering your mindset is no different.
