What To Expect?
In today’s article, start your day with a letter to yourself to boost performance. Was an idea that came to my mind to help re-focus my brain every morning by having an honest conversation with myself. We can all go to bed with the best of intentions but when we wake up the war begins again and somedays we are excited and some days we are not.
To refocus the mind on what’s important to us. Reading a letter to myself has changed my minds focus every single morning back in a forward direction. This article is written to help inspire you to have this winning technique in your life.
How To Improve Yourself Every Day?
Every day we all wake up to a fresh new day. We have the tools, the experience and the capability to succeed but one thing can always hold us back if we let it. That’s the mind.
If we let our mind dictate our decisions based on feelings in the moment, succeeding is going to be a reactive process.
How to change from being reactive is becoming pro-active. You have to take charge of your destiny and the forward direction you want to go in. I to have lived a re-active exitance based on my feelings and what comes to me. When this happens performance drops, productivity becomes slow and procrastination can soon follow.
How to change this is becoming proactive with life.
Why Talking To Yourself Helps Mental Wellbeing
If you have ever had a coach in your life. How has that coach helped in re-focusing your mind?
For me, they can bring out the best in you at any given moment. Changing the very chemicals in your brain where you can feel 7ft tall and do anything in that moment. This is all done through words. Words they have brought to life with their passion but words none the less.
It’s great to have a coach to do this. But wouldn’t it be better to be your own coach. To use words to inspire yourself every day or at any giving moment. That’s the power we all have within us. That’s the power that needs to be unlocked. To have that self-motivation every day to have a conversation with ourselves.
Our own voice is powerful. It can change how we think and how we act. Our own voice can shape our very existence in what we believe and give us the energy to execute our goals. The power of our own voice can make or break us. That’s why it’s such a powerful tool we all need to utilise and control.

I think I’m safe to say we all know who Alicia Keys is. If not check her music out she is amazing. Not only is she a famous musician. Alicia has an amazing mindset and in one of her post on Instagram. She discussed a technique she uses every morning to re-align her thoughts. Alicia writes down how she intends her day to go. She lives the day in her mind and on paper and resets the mind to focus its energy on where it should go. This is an amazing pro-active technique to allow the mind to focus.
I tried this technique myself and it’s a great way to plan your day each morning in a fun way. This also gave me the idea of how I could kick start my morning, especially if I don’t have the time to sit down and write. I envisioned a letter coming to me every morning of thoughts from myself. This is where the idea of the mentality letter was formed.
This Is Why I started Writing Letters To Myself
The whole reason I started to write a mentality letter to myself was to improve my mind’s focus and productivity throughout the day. With the countless amount of distractions pulling me in different directions. This letter to myself allowed me to regain that focus and clarity of what I needed to do every day.
How My Performance Improved
Immediately on the first morning of reading the mentality letter, I felt a rush of energy running through my mind and body. That very day I achieved a lot in productivity and also a calmness about myself. I thought this was just because it was new but every day I read this letter I had the same reaction and my performance remained high.
Think of the famous yellow brick road from The Wizard Of OZ. I went from getting distracted with all the things outside of the path I was on. To now only following the path I was set out to achieve with the wizards castle being my overall goal for that day.
So overall for me. Having a mentality letter to read every morning helped me to feel more confident, focused, clear of what I need to do, kept me grounded and gave me the energy I needed to perform.

We all want to perform to a high standard in everything we do, We want that Laser focus to achieve our goals. But what gets in the way is our own mind pulling us in different directions or finding the most comfortable way that leads to procrastination.
This habit can be hard to get out of and much like a car if we don’t turn the key the car will not start. This is the same with your mind. For your mind to get started the mentality letter is the key to starting your mind every day and the actions you take is the fuel that keeps it running throughout the day.
