The one emotionally most challenging thing.  Whatever I have been avoiding doing the most is the exact right thing that I need to do next.3.  Modeling Interpretation:  Modeling is the process of achieving a certain outcome by studying how someone else has successfully done it, then doing the same things that they did.4.  E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome) by Dr. Robert ResnickInterpretation:  Dr. Robert Resnick, a psychotherapist in Los Angeles, taught me a very simple but very important formula. The formula is: E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome) The basic idea is that every outcome you experience in life (whether it is success or failure, wealth or poverty, health or illness, intimacy or estrangement, joy or frustration) is the result of how you have responded to an earlier event or events in your life. If you don’t like the outcomes you are currently getting, there are two basic choices you can make.  1.  You can blame the event (E) for your lack of results (O).  2.  You can instead simply change your responses (R) to the events (E)—the way things are—until you get the outcomes (O) you want.  -Jack Canfield, The Success Principles 5.  Relentless Solution Focus by Dr. Jason Selk Interpretation:  Relentless Solution Focus (RSF) is simply defined as within 60 seconds, replacing all negative thoughts with solution-focused thinking.  -Dr. Jason Selk6.  Amplify The GoodInterpretation:  Remind yourself of your successes and celebrate them.  Focus on your strengths and what you do well.  Appreciate what you have.  Imagine your desired future.7.  Continuous Improvement Mindset (Kaizen)Interpretation:  Kaizen is a Japanese word that means "continuous improvement" or "change for the better".Comment below with your number-one takeaway.Listen now on YouTube, Spotify or iTunes.Please like, share and subscribe if you find it useful!I am a high-performance specialist and 7x author who helps successful people dramatically elevate their performance and achieve life-changing goals.
