Before 5AM – Motivation for Success

Go for a walk. ~ When you don't quite know what do or if you're feeling a lack of creative flow, go outside and get moving. ~ Motion creates emotion and that is one of the main reasons I walk at least three or four times a day, not only to clear my mind but to also take a deeper dive into my thoughts and ideas while I'm moving. ~ Spending time in nature and going for walks throughout the day is one of the main reasons I don't burn out or get overwhelmed or stressed out as much as I most probably once did. Mind you the other reason is, I'm older (maybe not wiser) and have a lot more experience dealing with the constant pressure and stress of life, so things don't get to me like they used to. ~ Whenever I lose my flow or feel I have to think things through thoroughly I get outside and go for a walk, that one move has also helped me to respond over time rather than react to the many challenges and setbacks that life tends to throw at you! ~ One of the other things I don't often share with you guys is that most of my captions or work that you see are created while I walk around or pace around and I rarely if ever take a phone call sitting down. ~ So get moving, get outside, breathe in the somewhat fresh air outside and see if that helps you create more inspiring work or manage your stress levels and connect with yourself at a higher level. ~ Whenever you feel stuck, go for a walk and I generally like to go for a walk first thing in the morning as the sun begins to rise, at around lunchtime or early afternoon and again in the evenings as the sun sets. ~ I hope that give you guys a little insight into one of my most important peak performance routines and it is something I make sure all my private coaching clients do, to ensure they are performing at their highest level and giving themselves plenty of time to nurture their mind, body and souls so they don't burn out and lose their edge. ~ Get moving! @before5am

Alright, let's get this out of the the way and move on... ~ I get that you have setbacks, challenges and a bunch of problems. I'm sure you can talk all day about your problems to me, your friends, your work colleagues and the poor guy that makes your coffee in the morning. ~ So let's get it out of your system once and for all? Because the truth is we all have problems and we all have pains and we all have frustrations. ~ Grab a pen and paper or a whole note book if you need it and start writing down every problem you have in your life right now. Get real and get specific. If your life is so hard, challenging and miserable... then let's find out exactly what the problem is! ~ Now, I'm guessing you can spend all day and maybe all week, venting about your problems and sometimes that's a good thing... but maybe it's time to turn your attention to the solution. Because at the end of the day, that's what you really want... ~ Instead of worrying about your bills, debts and lack of financial security. Maybe it's time to focus on increasing your effort and commitment to finding another source of income or a new job or opportunity that supports your lifestyle or the lifestyle you want. ~ Instead of worrying about your exams and stressing every night. Maybe it's time to focus your time, energy and personal resources on finding new ways to absorb and understand information, so you can study more effectively. Maybe it's time to put in the work, rather then stressing out about your work. ~ Instead of worrying about being fired and missing your sales target, maybe it's time to go all in and take more action than you've ever taken before. Make more calls, meet more clients and be relentless in closing your deals this month. ~ See the thing is, you can focus on your problems all day. But if you want to move forward for a change, Start focusing on what you actually want and then put in the time, energy and personal resources to get what you want. ~ Most people focus on their problems and guess what, they get more of the same. Be exceptional and start focusing exclusively on the solution and the outcome you are actually after. ~ That's how you win the game of life. Get to work! @before5am

Sometimes we make good choices, sometimes we make bad choices but always remember this: ~ Every choice you make on some level determines the standard you accept for yourself and your life. ~ The standard you are willing to accept in life will ultimately determine the type of life you end up living and where you end up on your unique journey. ~ We all make mistakes, that's part of life and we don't always get it right but one thing we can all do is decide what our standard is and what we are willing to accept into our lives. ~ Raise your standards and allow yourself to only accept what is good, empowering and beautiful into your life. ~ From there you can start to make more powerful and informed choices that are aligned with the type of person you want to be and the type of life you truly want to live. ~ The choice is yours. @before5am

You came here to win, not to give up or give in! ~ I know it's hard, I know that you want to give up and throw it all away because things don't seem to be going your way and don't even look like they will work out any time soon! ~ I know you're doubts and fears are staring right back into your soul and I know you're starting to question yourself and why you thought you could make it happen when so many people around you have failed. ~ I know you're wondering how the hell you can keep going when all you can see right now is your short comings, failures and current circumstances. ~ Right now I'm asking you to fight your own mind and stand up and tell yourself that you're going to win and you're going to keep pushing and keep grinding until you get exactly what you want! ~ You knew it wasn't going to be easy when you started and somewhere along the way you hoped it would get easier and things would just fall into place and that assumption is the reason why you want to give up when the going gets tough. ~ It might get easier, you might get better and things might fall into place...but that's not happening any time soon so you better pick yourself back up and fight and push yourself harder than ever before to defeat your doubts and fears. ~ You have to wake up every single day prepared to fight for what you believe in and you've got to get it out of your head that things will ever get easier... ~ Life is a constant battle and that battle is usually won or lost in your own mind long before you ever win any battle in the real world. ~ Remember why you started, you didn't start just to give up.. so pick yourself back up and keep fighting for what you believe in. ~ Keep believing, keep pushing! ~ I believe in you, I already know you're going to be great, you just need to believe in yourself. @before5am
