You have to figure out what's getting in the way of your success, and what are the lynchpins to solving your problems. It's generally stopping or removing something rather than adding something. Often, what we want most in life is what's most painful for us to get. Gratitude is one of the biggest and best ways to improve your fulfillment. It's about getting back to what's really important to you. Meditation and gratitude should be the first things you do in the morning. Try writing everything down that you're stressed about. You'll already feel less stressed. Put on your calendar a reminder to spend 20 minutes to work on taking an action to move one of those things forward. When doing something you hate, fake liking it and it'll get easier. You can physiologically fool your body. People who want to stay pissed, will stay pissed. Just stay away from them. Every top performer has a pre-event ritual. They set their body, their intention, and their mind before they walk in. Take a deep breath and put a smile on your face. Set yourself before starting. 80-90% of communication is non-verbal. Focus on your mental fitness. Doing something physical helps break bad mental patterns. Get your bad energy out physically. Try to make your life as streamlined as possible. Clutter in your life tends to slow you down. Schedule time to allow yourself creative thinking time. High performers have a default of "no." Know what your overall mission is and say "no" to anything that doesn't serve that purpose. Figure out what your lane is going to be. Pick that lane and go deep.   References: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle Muze   Tweetables: People confuse happiness with fulfillment. – Thor Conklin The only way to combat stress is action. – Thor Conklin Your emotions do not dictate your physiology, your physiology dictates your emotions – Thor Conklin Anytime you want to change your emotional state, simply change your physical state. – Thor Conklin Every "yes" is a "no" to something else. – Thor Conklin Don't start running until you know where you're going. – Thor Conklin You achieve more when you're happily achieving, then when you're achieving to be happy. – Dr. Craig Spodak Figure out what your lane is going to be.
