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?

Start Your Day With A Letter To Yourself To Boost Performance

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.

How Alicia Keys Inspires Herself By Writing

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.

Why You Should Start Your Day With A Letter To Yourself To Boost Performance

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.

Over To You

I think as humans we not that different as we think we are. We are going through the same mental obstacles each day. The only difference is that some people have better habits and techniques to overcome those obstacles.

This mentality letter has been for me that very technique to overcome doubt, procrastination and a lack of focus in what I need to do. I hope this finds you well and can’t wait to hear about your mentality letter journey.

A Final Word From Future Mindset

I want you to find time alone and sit down and write this letter to yourself. Just like your writing to your best friend.

Be honest with yourself about what you want to achieve. Preemptive strike the bad habits that you need to stop. Then build yourself up with the things you have achieved by having good habits.

This is a letter where your creativity can run wild. You can include what you’re overall grateful for, a paragraph on what you want your morning to look like and how you want your business to improve by the actions you need to take.

Whatever you write in your mentality letter. It has to be able to unlock the fire inside you by holding you accountable. But also knowing you are enough as a person. A fine balance to bringing out your best performance.

What To Expect?

Have you ever told your child something to regret it later? In today’s article, the importance of teaching your child life lessons at the right age. I will discuss my own experiences on why teaching children based on their age and levels of understanding is so important for their mindset. I hope my mistakes can help you with your parenting journey for a mentally happy child.

What Parents Can Teach Their Children

Children have many influences on their life from teachers, coaches, peers and even celebrity culture. But the biggest influence on a child’s life comes from their parents. The influence and attachment we have with our children can help shape them into mentally healthy adults with the world at their feet. Parenting isn’t just one sector. It’s teaching our children a full range of different topics all jumbled amongst the chaos that is raising a child.

A major question I asked myself on numerous occasions though was should I have said that now when giving out my wisdom.

The Importance Of Life Lessons

As parents, we have x amount of years of experience compared to our children. With knowledge upon knowledge waiting to be pulled out of our minds and into theirs. The life lessons we teach our children are invaluable and not only shape their future but also help them avoid certain pitfalls in life. But there has to be a time and place to teach children certain topics. Like a 4-year-old doesn’t need to know about the history of WW2 or a 9-year-old doesn’t need to know about tax returns. All common sense stuff but there is a fine line between certain topics we teach our children when they’re not ready or needed.

The Importance Of Teaching Your Child Life Lessons At The Right Age

That’s why it’s important to understand your child more than ever of their mental development and capacity to take in information. Age is a great indicator but every child is different and what a child from Syria would need to know will be different from what a child in England needs to know.

It’s important to keep our children, being children for as long as we can. Rushing their development can hinder their mental wellbeing.

We also shouldn’t hide them from certain topics that matter like racism or global warming as this affects their lives now. But being conscious that some topics can be left for adults to deal with where a child doesn’t have to concern themselves with.

What Happens If You Get It Wrong?

This is a question I asked about upon becoming a father. I have learned that being a parent I will get many things wrong as I am learning too. But as long as you have good intentions and your child’s best interest at heart. Everything will be ok in the end.

Create An Age Chart

To help you have an attainable goal to understand what to teach your child at what age. You should create a chart of age from 1 to 16. Underneath each collum write down what your child needs to know at a given age. This will give you a clearer understanding of what they need and when they need it.

Over To You

I hope you enjoyed today’s article, the importance of teaching your child life lessons at the right age.

It’s a topic I haven’t heard being discussed before. I have just noticed it in myself of trying to treat my child as an adult too soon.

Children are very smart and have wonderous creative minds. Why fill their heads full of needless things they can find out later in life at no harm to their progress.
