Sometimes the only way out is through.

To make it through a day you must go from start to finish – regardless of the end result. However, the journey through the day can be taken through multiple routes.

The people, the places and the experiences each day will test your decision and your sense of judgment. You will need to be snappy and make on the spot decisions. Other times you will have what feels likes all the time in the world to decide your next steps.

Regardless, you should be prepared for one and or the other or even both. This is not a perfect world, there is the perfect world scenario, in which everything just seems to fall into place when it needs to. But if this was to happen – how would we ever learn? How would we grow? How would beat our very own competition of the person we were yesterday?

Everything is hard before it is easy ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes, all it takes to put you back on the path to success is the right attitude… and the right song! So how about you put on your bounciest tune and kick off your path!

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

If you are looking for a focus hype or a way to motivate yourself, my go to place is nostalgia. You will be surprised just how much of an impact the hobbies, the fun, the memories and the experiences you had as a child can and will have an effect on you. Not even as a child, but memories from further back. Times you cherished and times you will never forget. 

Music itself has the ability open your mind into a deeper imagination, and into a deeper focus. It takes me back to a moment the song is related to.

Through nostalgia, we’re reminded of the places we grew up, our families, the wondrous curiosity of our childhood, the joy of our favorite moments, past romances and the many places we have ventured to.

As John Tierney puts it for the New York Times:

Nostalgia has been shown to counteract loneliness, boredom and anxiety. It makes people more generous to strangers and more tolerant of outsiders.

Nostalgia does have its painful side, but the net effect is to make life seem more meaningful and death less frightening. When people speak wistfully of the past, they typically become more optimistic and inspired about the future.

I have found that while utilizing the effects of nostalgia, I am becoming more and more empowered, motivated and even happier as this literally like reliving highlights of my childhood.

I encourage you to find your sweet spots of nostalgia and to see what wonders it can do for you. You will be surprised at what it can do and you will be even more excited once it reopens some lost memories, some personal interests, and hobbies you had forgotten all about.

So what has this done for me:

• It feels like a holiday in the mind
• It releases endorphin’s
• It creates a bounce or rush of happiness
• Wants me to want to relive the experience even more
• Increases my focus and productivity
• Reminds me of when things were so much simpler
• I feel more optimistic
• Relaxes my mind
• Reminds me of just how far I have come
• Reopens lost dreams, ideas and personal interests

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

Are you struggling to jump out of bed and do what you need to do? Are you tired of surviving and not living? Most of your time it is that 9 to 5 thing you call a job. For some, this is longer… But what if the thing you are doing is your passion… would it really be a struggle to jump out of bed?

1. THIS IS YOUR LIFE! OWN IT!

If you continue to tell yourself that somehow, somewhere, life is going to take care of itself. Absolutely NOTHING is going to change for the better for you. Unless you take action to do so. Life is not a rehearsal, and no one owes you anything. It’s time to start owning your life and start making better quality choices, and that begins with thinking better quality thoughts. Own your circumstances and change them. 

2. FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS BUGGING YOU!

The most comforting thing is finding someone, even better, several people who relate to your struggle. It is so easy to sit and complain about them about everything that is wrong. I suggest that you figure out what exactly the problem is and work on changing it for YOUR own good. 

3. TIME TO MAKE A PLAN!

It’s going to make you feel instantly better to take out a piece of paper and plan out how you are going to make a change that will be more fulfilling to you. Or if you have some goals, or want to change this or do that, then what you need is a Push Factor! Are you sick of where you are? Then use that as a burning motivator to DO something about your situation! Your cause has to be greater than your fears!

4. REST AND SLEEP BEFORE

Sleep earlier so that you can wake up well rested. I realize this is far easier said than done when you have children and a family but do your best to take care of yourself on Sunday. However you do it – make sure you have a relaxing routine Sunday evening to get your head in a rest mode before your back into the week mode.

5. TAKE BREAKS!

Take a walk, speak to a colleague, get a drink of water. Do something to just blow off some steam! Connecting with another human being always helps redirect certain internal energies, especially when talking to someone you like. Grab a coffee, read the paper, you could even do some stretches. Whatever it is (even if it is quick) do something for a moment to reboot your mind.

6. BE THANKFUL!

Be truly and sincerely thankful for what you have. Each day is a new opportunity and that in itself we should be thankful for. It is sad of just how quickly we forget! Remind yourself of the blessings in your life, over and over again if you must. It’s so easy to lose sight and focus of what really, truly matters. 

Keeping in mind the above 6 points – think about how you can take a jump in your life and with the addition of adapting the above and making some new choices for yourself, that will better enable your lifestyle.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

The intention to grow is self-sufficient and can be cultivated through a healthy challenge or goal setting.  When we are given a challenge which coincides with something we wish to accomplish we hit a sweet spot which will benefit us by fuelling our priorities, our motivation and focus.

However, at the same time there’s always going to be something trying to grab your attention and raise your stress levels. But you have the choice to react or to respond. The key is to get ahead and to get a handle on things before they become out of hand. Even if you are unsure of how things will play out, taking action, taking control and having something to work with, is better than simply having an idea. Cultivating, pruning and reiterating the solution to the challenge is a great way to continue to move forward, innovate and keep you honest with progression, while at the same time maintaining a growth aspect. 

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

Do not lose sight of your motivation, your goals, and dreams due to setbacks. Yes, I understand, this is easier said than done, but you need to fight it. As setbacks come and go, some will be easier than others to conquer, while others will require you to give it everything you’ve got and then some more. Pushing forward each day requires you to conquer excuses, and to challenge the games your mind will play. Train your mind to be stronger than excuses!

Setbacks require you to grow a little, stretch a little and be willing to go or do the things we didn’t think we could or would be doing. 

On a side note, do not take for granted what you have, or how far you have come. Just because you hit a setback, this does not mean you have not achieved anything. Someone else is looking up to you for something you have already accomplished. They are motivated due to your motivation and determination. So if you’re in a rut, remember you were in a rut before you started. If you don’t think you are an inspiration, you are dead wrong.

The games you play with your mind, the challenges your mind has to confront and every decision you need to make are all things you must learn to manage. Will you let your mind choose a POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE reaction?

It’s a simple choice really. But each decision will require work, hard work actually.

“A negative mind will never give you a positive life.” ― Ziad K. Abdelnour

If you choose to take the POSITIVE side, this requires you to think optimistically and spread joy and happiness around you. I guarantee you, that if you make those around you feel good about themselves and happy, you will always be happy. But don’t get me wrong.. this will require some effort to keep your attitude and mind in the right place. Especially when the day goes south… will you cave and give into being negative, or will you choose to look on the bright side of things?

If you choose to take the NEGATIVE side, this means you won’t be thinking of the positives, but being the critical one. When things get tough, rough and unfair, you won’t look for the positives but accept the negatives. Accepting the negatives diminishes your mentality to look for solutions, it exercises your mind to lower yourself and your ability to comprehend the good things, even in the worst of situations. You can either choose to dwell on it or choose to fight it and find that light of happiness…

I choose POSITIVE.

What will you choose?

Life wouldn’t be what it is if we didn’t have the many roller coasters throughout it. Roller coasters inspire growth, challenge our patience and build our resilience. Through thick and thin we learn to survive, we learn to adapt and learn to take control where we can.

However, like any roller coaster, amongst the ups and downs, the swirls and twirls, new roller coasters have surprises. New ways of throwing us off our game. 

When these moments come – we need to choose how to react. We need to pull ourselves together and react with thought and strategy. We can dive straight in and tackle these moments head on, but with that comes big risk. So choose wisely…

Life is a roller coaster. Ups and downs, swirls and twirls and a whole lot of experience.

You should ask yourself if you are determined?

Determined enough to go where it is you want to go!

At the same time are you willing? Willing enough to accomplish your dreams by yourself, through sheer willpower, dedication, determination, and commitment. These characteristics will have a greater impact on you than if you had all the money in the world. Yes money can buy things, things we can dream of, but money cannot by happiness.

Only you can control happiness and can accomplish your dreams and goals and only you will prove that to yourself and everyone around you!

Further to this, what are you doing about it?

What are you actually doing to make a change, to make a difference, to further yourself daily, to grow yourself daily and to better yourself daily?

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

What’s important to you? Your morning coffee? Making time to walk your dog? Getting that assignment to your boss on time? Going for a run? We value different things and with value comes different priorities. 

Your values are a testament to your true self because they are what matter most to you when it comes to personal and professional life.

Your values influence that little voice in your head that tells you whether or not to care about something, and how you should prioritize your time. To sum it up, values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work.

In most cases, these values are instilled in you from childhood. Whether they be from a cultural perspective, learned through watching your family and their passions. However now in adulthood, you start to realize you’re passionate about some of the same things or you value similar things.

It’s not a bad thing to share core values with those around you, but it can be detrimental to live a life that doesn’t honor those values.

Remember: Your values should aid in creating your best life, and your most authentic self. You make the rules (within reason). Be patient with yourself and dedicate the time to discovering your core values. You’ll be amazed at the things you can accomplish. These can change and reprioritize over time and through experience, so be willing to adapt, but do not change your core for someone or something else. 

Remain you.

Like 2016, 2017 brings new horizons and new opportunities. How we react and take action on these opportunities will ultimately redefine how 2017 will be. What will you do?

When it comes to priority who are you putting first? At the end of the day, it is you vs. the world and unfortunately, the world will take advantage of you if you let it. 

Be proud of who you are and what you have or can do.

You and only you are responsible for your fate. Life is no fun if you spend it hating yourself; this will limit any progress you hope to make. Always look on the bright-side of life.

Instead of spending your time trying to impress the people around you, try to impress yourself first. Work on loving yourself first, understanding what makes you tick, what makes you happy and what you are good at. You will be the only person you will always be spending your time with – so it is better to learn to love yourself sooner than later.

The most important lesson you can teach yourself is how to accept and love yourself for you who you are, no matter what you’ve been through and what you’ve learned. Acceptance makes all the difference in your confidence and self-esteem.

Loving yourself will create an infectious aurora around you, so much that others will follow. But no matter who comes along, just know that no one will love you like you love yourself. Just don’t love yourself so much that you diminish the people around you.

Own yourself, your thoughts and your mind, and there’s nothing anyone can do or say that can take you away from you – Isamar Avery
