There are some people who seem mentally strong.

No matter what they face, they keep cool and focused, and deal with everything. They look oblivious to events because their mindset is so powerful it overcomes any potential threats or challenges.

For them nothing is a problem because their mind can handle it all. They are calm, disciplined, and unflummoxed all in one in the head.

We believe they were born with a mighty mind that we could never have. That our weaker mindset could never be like theirs.

Well, think again because anyone can develop a stronger mindset when they know the route to take.

So let me open up that path and show you how.

Oh oh no rather than 007.

James Bond, the proverbial 007, has a mind of steel.

Nothing fazes this super spy even in dramatic moments of life or death. We are usually the opposite being fazed by anything from a traffic jam to our workload building up at the office. More oh oh no rather than 007.

Our minds have become weakened over time by life, by wrong thinking, by challenges, by us. Not in one dramatic leap, but cemented in via a gradual creep into a less lean state. And this means that we convince ourselves that we don’t control this, life and destiny are the masters. If time has destroyed that power, we won’t be able to get it back.

Well don’t be shaken nor stirred to borrow a line from Mr Bond.

You STILL have all the capabilities to regenerate your mental muscle and in a fraction of the time you lost it.

Why? Because before you didn’t know it was slipping away. You never noticed that your mindset wasn’t working at a prime level until you couldn’t get it fired up anymore. That is going to change. This time you will be fully aware and directing how it’s coming back. And what’s the way to accomplishing that?

The new simple mental path you are about to take.

Short steps with growing gains.

You’ve heard of growing pains, well you are going to experience growing gains.

Being powerful mentally looks good…in time, but not in the beginning.

This is what will arise from the mental progress you will instill as the weeks go by. So, let’s get down to your first steps on your new mental road.

If you want to run a marathon, to start you won’t be able to run very far. You have to build up to that distance so your body gets used to it. Now take the same but for your mind. You are going to need to introduce periods of mindset power exercise so that mental resilience can embed in. Any regular practice of a skill or task ensures the brain will form new pathways and connections to boost it’s development further.

So to get that going put into your phone diary – ’15 minutes power thinking’.

Put it on a schedule if possible but certainly on a repeat up to 5 times a day. Examples could be – first thing in the morning, coffee break time, lunchtime, straight after work (or as near to) and before bed. Not too close together, not long periods apart.

You can’t override your lower thinking with the odd session here and there at random.

And this is what you will do in those 15 minutes.

Progress to Power.

I’m sure you have heard of the power nap.

This is the mental power up version – the Power Snap.

Short periods of higher mental activity to snap you out of your weaker mental patterns.

In your Power Snap you need to find a quiet or much quieter place. You can lie down or sit. Anywhere where your senses are not bothered. Set an alarm and spend the 15 minutes on these three specifics –

1. Powerful thoughts – thinking the best and highest possible thoughts regarding your life. Ones that believe everything is unfolding in your favour. That you, your body, and your mind are at the peak and ultimate level. And that your best months and years are just about to happen. Bigger self believing.
2. Powerful imagery – add to this with solid, clear, exciting visions of yourself succeeding. Make them for something that matters to you and see yourself smiling, healthy, and full of energy. Back it up with the each whole scene being jammed with colour and great sounds.
3. Powerful feelings – link it altogether with choosing positive, vibrant feelings as it all happens. Connect yourself to feeling content, assured, masterful, dynamic, alive and such similar emotions.

Complete this exercise by fighting any old negatives that want to creep in. Reaffirm that these 3 are what your mind is only accepting FROM NOW ON.

And then you grow it!

Practice your power.

We are back to that running training again.

You complete the race because you keep repeating the training and expanding it. It’s the same here.

Firstly, you have to commit to 4 or 5 sittings per day doing the above.

Secondly, you have to lengthen the time 5 minutes per Power Snap week after week.

Finally, you have to continue and continue. Like you do every day scrolling on your phone or watching NetFlix or any other menial entertainment habit. You MUST work this into a habit in your schedule. Hook it in as a BEST habit you must never stop (like you insist you have fruit every day or an espresso at home). Just imagine what you could achieve if you could keep this up for a whole morning or weekend???

If you can complete this, your mind will become fused with very powerful new neural network patterns.

Ones that will not just feed your mind but send feel good enriching endorphins round your whole body again and again. You will, in effect, be rejuvenating every part of you.

And the final fabulous result?

No, not just a fired up mindset and spirit of life.

You will end up actually doing something WITH this new powerful mentality.

That’s when you will become most powerful of all!!
