What To Expect!

In today’s article, how to update, protect and clean your mind for future success. I will show the comparison our brain has with any supercomputer on the planet. We might not be able to run at the same speed consciously as a computer but we have many of the same traits that effectively can help strengthen our mind. I want to show you by updating, protecting and cleaning your mind. You can achieve well-being and focus in your daily life.

3 Reasons Your Mind Is A Supercomputer

how to update, protect and clean the mind for future success

The comparison between a human brain and a computer are very similar. The brain uses chemicals to transmit information; the computer uses electricity. Even though electrical signals travel at high speeds in the nervous system, they travel even faster through the wires in a computer.

A supercomputer also needs to be constantly updated to fight off stagnation. Of course, we can’t replace the brain like your latest phone but it defiantly can be updated through books, podcasts and new experiences and this will help update the mind for future success

A second reason your mind is like a supercomputer is that it needs protecting. A computer needs protecting from viruses or overheating. The brain is the same as it needs the correct amount of sleep to function, connect with nature and protecting from toxic people and technology overload.

The third reason your mind is a supercomputer is that you have to clean your drive. On your computer you can delete apps and pictures you don’t want and you can do the same in your mind by meditating, journaling and forgiving. Allowing the mind to let go of the past and refocus on the present and future. It will allow you to clean the mind for future success.

The mind is a powerful muscle and when looked after, it can repay you tenfold. When used wrongly it can cause mental health problems.

In most cases, it can be effectively treated by looking after your mind. I hope thinking about your brain in a different way will allow you to look after your mind in a better way. As you would do your phone and computer but more.

Building mindset strength matters and when you update, protect and clean the mind for future success.

Update Its Software

Update The Mind With Books

When growing up I didn’t take much notice of books. I never trained the muscle of reading to learn. My knowledge came from who was around me and before the internet really took off. I was limited to my knowledge. Opening the mind to books from my 20s onwards has updated my mind without question. I now have extensive knowledge of leadership, finances, psychology and self-care. Without reading books, my mind would never have got the update it needed.

Every successful person you hear about or know reads daily. There is a simple reason for it. It works for attaining knowledge and unlocking the brain to new ideas and ways of thinking. That can literally change your life personally and financially.

So update your mind every month my reading one book minimum to unlock new knowledge and understanding in your life.

Update The Mind With Podcasts

Podcasts have only been around for short while but they have grown extensively over the years. Where now you can learn anything and everything from experts you wouldn’t otherwise have listened to. On the self-development front podcasts like The School Of Greatness and So Money has taught me so much. It has increased my wealth and mindset to new levels.

Interestingly podcasts like Joe Rogan and Russell Brands Under The Skin have opened my mind to new ways of thinking from the varied range of guests on different topics.

Podcasts are wonderful for updating your mind for future success. When you’re in the car or cooking put on a podcast of choice where you can expand your mind to new possibilities.

Update The Mind With Experiences

Living the same day. Day in day out can have negative effects on the mind. I saw first-hand these habits taking place and shaping their mind to a negative state. It’s not pleasant to be around and definitely not pleasant to live it. That’s why you have to create discomfort in your life by challenging your fears and comfortability to new experiences. Travel more, find a job you love, find a partner that makes you happy.

Whatever your shortcoming is in your life. Face them head-on. It will be uncomfortable, the mind will doubt you and create fantasies that are that fantasies. It’s ok to let those thoughts pass through the mind like two doors. Once you let these emotions pass through. It’s time to update the mind with new experiences to unlock your inner happiness and create memories you can be proud of looking back.

By creating discomfort in your life you create a better future.

Protect Its Battery

Protect The Mind With 6-8 Hours Of Sleep

Countless studies have shown the importance sleep has on the mind. The days are gone where it’s macho to get 2 hours of sleep and still get all your work done. This is a downright stupid mentality to have. I have lived it myself and yes you get through it but definitely don’t produce your best work. The long term protection of the mind is important and getting the right amount of sleep will allow you to function at your best and fend off illness in the future.

There are many apps you can download now to make sure your sleep is prioritised. I personally use my Fitbit watch. It wakes me up at the best possible time and I can set it to wake me after 6 hours which is my perfect amount of sleep. This protects my mind every day.

Protect The Mind By Connecting With Nature

Studies have shown the positive effects nature has on the human mind. I know how I feel whenever I’m in any kind of nature. It feels like a connection. A connection I’m meant to be in. With the modern world becoming a concrete jungle. It’s important more than ever to find time to connect with nature and protect our minds from too much of the modern world.

Cities like Singapore are taking the lead by including nature within their blueprints of new buildings been made. A must for anyone to visit.

Of course, living by the sea and countryside is a great option but not always accessible for many. So finding time to go on adventures in nature, visit local parks and nature reserves. As well having a section in your home for nature can go a long way to protecting your mind from a drained mind.

What can you do today too add more nature into your life?

Protect The Mind With A Tech Detox

Technology is still fairly new to human society. Social media has only been around for just over a decade. Yet the addiction and reliance on it are real. People could never imagine not having their phones apart from them. As good as new tech is. It can have a damaging effect on mental health and a drain on the mind. Where anxiety, self-loathing and depression can be heightened.

Like anything setting boundaries can help you take control back. And protect the mind from a drain on mental health.

What To Expect!

In today’s article, 5 traits that make Cristiano Ronaldo have an elite mindset. I will dig deeper into the mindset of Cristiano. Finding out what makes him tick and also providing you with strategies you can implement yourself that Cristiano applies himself.

The Beginnings Of A legend

In 1997 aged 12. Cristiano Ronaldo joined the famous academy of Sporting CP. Who had developed Portuguese great and former Ballon d’Or winner (Worlds best player) Luis Figo.

The foundations was set to build upon.

Nobody knows who’s going to make it in football. Undoubtedly there are many academy players with a clear technical talent for the game. But what people forget when it comes to football players. Is that their mindset is that sets them apart from everyone else.

Cristiano was no different.

From a young age, he showed the hunger to succeed. A former coach describes how upset Cristiano got when his team lost when playing at u9s. The winning hunger was there for all to see along with his undoubted talent.

With any great person, there is always someone behind the man or women that forges the mindset of an individual. For Cristiano, it was his mother. Who taught him through the example of what mindset and habits it takes to succeed at something.

Forging Cristiano Ronaldo Elite Mindset

At the age of 18, he signed for Manchester United. He was guided by the father figure Sir Alex Ferguson where he becomes a man and world best player.

At 24 he joined the historic Real Madrid. Where he performed at the peak of his ability. To become an all-time great in football history. Winning the champions league 3 times in a row and adding 4 more Ballon d’Or.

He single handily dragged his country to win their first international trophy.

Now at Juventus aged 36, his body is as fit as any 21 years old and his mind is still the winner he was in his prime. Breaking record after record.

Why is Cristiano one of the all-time greats of football and sport?

I believe it has everything to do with his mindset and that is the very fire and foundation to his success.

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo from a young age. I have grown up with amazing memories of his brilliance as a professional athlete. When compared with Messi. I always picked Cristiano as the better player because of what he had to do to become to be the best player in the world.

From watching, studying and researching what has made Cristiano the ultimate mindset machine. Below are compiled a list of mindset strategies you can apply in your sporting careers and life.

5 Traits That Make Cristiano Ronaldo Have An Elite Mindset

1. An Elite Mindset To Put In The Extra Work

When anyone describes Cristiano Ronaldo. Time and time again the mention of his intent to put in the work that others aren’t willing to do. Speaks volumes of the elite mindset he has compared to others. His teammate at Manchester United Roy Keane spoke of his work ethic saying “He was amazing. He was immediately one of the hardest-working players at United.

He prides himself on this aspect and he puts in the work behind the scenes that allow him to be at the top of his game.

Deliberate practice best describes Cristiano action towards his craft. Most people will go through life doing the minimum, doing what others tell them to do to fit in. An elite mindset is anything but this. It’s going the 10 years of silence behind the scenes putting in the work that no one sees that defines who you will become.

This can be said for any top-level professional. The same goes for football too. Everyone playing with Cristiano would have had to go through the 10 years of silence and put in the extra work that allowed them to beat off all the competition around them to become a professional footballer.

But there is a difference between being good and being elite. That difference comes from the mind. The Elite mindset demands more and pushes the body to new levels. It’s not just practice, it’s practice with purpose.

2. An Elite Mindset To Make Personal Sacrifices

To have an Elite Mindset you’re going to have to give up something in return. It could be family, time, your energy or all three. An elite mindset is formed through personal sacrifice. Cristiano formed his elite mindset by leaving his home at 12 years of age. At 18 going to a different country where he could not speak the language to further develop himself amongst the best. He sacrificed his time to not go out partying like everyone else which allowed his elite mindset to stay it’s course.

Personal sacrifice is an inevitable compromise that many aren’t willing to go through. You will see it in your life, maybe in yourself of the things that you can and can’t give up. That’s ok. This is normal. But no one can complain of not becoming the person they want to be without personally sacrificing some aspect to get what you want.

Overall it’s focussing the mind on the long term. The discipline to make the hard decisions now to lead an easier life for the future.

3. An Elite Mindset Of Believing He’s The Best

What elite mindset people have is a confidence that borderlines arrogance. An unwavering ability to believe they’re the best at what they do. Confidence to believe they will become in Cristiano case the best player in the world. Backed up with effort behind the scenes. It’s a scary combination that has seen greats like Serena Williams become the most dominant female tennis player of all time.

The aspect of an elite mindset is special. It’s kind of robotic but it’s purposeful. We all know that when we are confident we can achieve amazing things. What gets in the way is the ever-changing feelings we feel on a day to day basis.

The very reason why only a few have this confidence of believing they’re the best. Comes from not relying on waiting for how you feel.

If your life is based on your feelings, you’re going to live a very up and down life of inconsistency. But if you can affirm every day in everything you’re the best, followed by a strategy and habits that back up your statement. You become in control of your destiny. That’s the major difference with an elite mindset is that they control how they feel daily and block out the internal noise of their mind and the outside noise of others.

4. An Elite Mindset To Have The Desire To Be Great

Cristiano elite mindset is the desire to be the best the world has ever seen. Everyone needs an internal desire that gives them the energy to do what is needed to achieve their goal. What people don’t see is all the painstaking hours of pain, problem solving and failures that come your way when achieving any form of success. Having a clear mindset of what you want to achieve is the very foundation of an elite mindset.

The desire to be the best in the world has allowed Cristiano to create and follow strategies that have allowed him to become that very person. The world best footballer on 4 separate occasions. Having that desire to be great. Creates an elite mindset. It makes you work harder than anyone around you and makes you ask yourself the question what do I have to do to be great. Which opens up the doors of what’s needed to be this person. It comes down to what everyone else is not willing to do that you should go for.

5. An Elite Mindset To Study The Best

An elite mindset comes from knowing that you can always get better. It never stops and studying the best is paramount to your success and longevity. Cristiano himself has been teammates with some of the best players on the planet but he also studies athletes from other sports too that offer him valuable insight into what they do to achieve success.

No one becomes the best overnight. It’s a learned skill. You definitely can’t do it alone. Having an elite mindset allows you to be humble enough to allow your mind to understand that there is always something to learn.
