Many people give up on their goals because they don't believe they can achieve them. They may have had a bad experience in the past or been told by others that they can't do it. Whatever the reason, if we don't believe we can achieve our goals, we won't even try.
A positive mindset is essential to success. When we believe we can achieve our goals, we're more likely to take the necessary steps to reach them. We'll be more motivated to put in the hard work and persist even when things get tough.
If you're struggling to stay positive, here are some tips to help you out:
-Focus on the things you can control. You may not be able to control everything that happens to you, but you can control your own thoughts and actions.
-Make a list of your positive qualities. Sometimes we need a reminder of the things we're good at.
-Spend time with positive people. Surround yourself with people who have a positive outlook on life and who will support your goals.
-Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, exercise, get enough sleep, and find ways to relieve stress. When we're physically and mentally healthy, it's easier to stay positive.
It's not always easy to maintain a positive mindset, but it's worth it.
It takes a ton of discipline to write a novel. Chris Lowry has written over 100 in six genres. That same ass in seat grit to get after it is the reason he's run 100 mile races, and 50 mile rucks, kayaked the Mississippi River and hiked from the beach to the mountains and back again. When he's ass out of the seat, he's rehabbing old homes to save a small town he can't help but love and managing a small media company making entertainment content for online channels.
