How I improved my Self Control

1. Cold Showers
The first time I took one, I crapped my pants.
But why?
It was 30º C outside, I really wanted one!
I was scared because I didn& #39;t like the feeling of the cold water "hurting" my skin
It was all in my mind!
Now I rarely have a hot shower
That& #39;s SELF CONTROL

2. Journaling
Getting your thoughts on paper is a flex.
Sometimes it& #39;s all BS, but when you write it down on paper you gain clarity.
And written clarity helps cement self-awareness
Which in turn enhances your sense of self

3. 50 Push ups & 5K Runs
I wake up daily at around 6
I feel groggy, I feel crap
But no matter what I get my 50 + push ups in
A couple of sets, maybe 3
And / or a 5 km + run
You know what? I feel like new
I never regret a run or exercise I didn& #39;t want to do
N E V E R !

4. Planning my days
Planning what I want to get done on my days is gold.
I look at my plan
Digest it
It& #39;s in my head, I start to embody it
I am my plan
I breathe my plan
I live my plan
it& #39;s mine
For the taking, the shaking, the shaping, of me
And my destiny.

5. Eliminating Distractions
I don& #39;t let anything get in the way of my plan, my purpose.
It& #39;s the most important thing to me
I shut the door
My phone is in the other room
I put on my headphones
Focus Flow mode on
It& #39;s the only thing that exists

6. Counting to 10 before reacting
Breathing in, breathing out
I am aware of my trigger
I am aware of my anger
But my anger is not me, it& #39;s an emotion I am feeling.
In these 10 seconds I have a chance to calm its effect
I am in control
My reaction will be a conscious one.

7. No Complaining
I quit complaining.
If I can& #39;t change it, what& #39;s the point?
An angry mood when it& #39;s already happened?
Makes no sense.
I should better look for the solution
Together with my reaction, they& #39;re the 2 things I can control.

8. Positive Vibes
Every disappointment is a blessing, my father used to say.
This has become my life mantra
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
- Wayne Dyer
Look and find the positive, and the positive will find you.
