If you found something that was scientifically proven to accomplish the following:

As someone who loves to give others advice, I do realize how hard it is to take it for myself and sometimes others. Maybe the hardest times for me is what I have termed Trash Talk or negative self-talk. A couple of areas where I still need work are when I forget to do something, or when I do something wrong, or after a bad shot during my round of golf.

This statement is maybe the most alarming and shocking statements that I have ever learned! Think of the implications! 50% of what we see, hear, read and think about is NOT THE TRUTH. So, the next thing we might think about is how are my relationships and how does this affect my life both personal and professional?

In my study of the mind and how we can make it work for us, I have discovered some fascinating truths that govern our lives and many of us are unaware. Spend some time with each to see how they might be affecting your life.

Healthspan or Lifespan?

We need to think differently about Lifespan. It starts with the end in mind. What’s my expiration date? Healthspan is about how do I get there via quality years of life. The following is drawn from Peter Attia’s book Outlive. This will give you a new perspective on life.

It therefore becomes difficult to tell ourselves a different story because our body retains it, and our mind supports it. As we share it with ourself and others, we do not include a caveat of “BTW 50% of all of my perceptions are not the truth but believe me when I tell you….”

Have you ever struggled with what is called the Five Hindrances? They are obstacles in our mind that hinder progress in daily life. They can throw us in disarray.

Many people feel tired and/or have a lack the energy to function at their best throughout the day. If you are feeling a lack of energy, it’s worth taking a look at your lifestyle to see which healthy changes you can make to boost your energy levels and allow you to operate at your peak.

What if you could be truly more productive even when facing distractions, stress, change and uncertainty? And be more, have more, share more and find more passion. Then realize it is not about time management! It is about mind management! Plus, learn how to maximize how much you get done in every area of your life.

These words got me curious, and I now pursue four concepts – three of them  made up. Robin Sharma coined the concepts I see them as filters to use as an overlay daily.

Do you feel safe in being you? Do you hold back on expressing that part of you that allows you to communicate authentically?

AI says: Overall, what people want to change is deeply personal and reflects their unique goals and insecurities. Things like:

I recently met with a man who shared that he led groups that started their meetings by sharing their Gratitudes. And I thought what a wonderful time to remind people of what a simple concept can do to our mind and body. Some of the benefits that Gratitude provides:
