Embracing Your Expertise: Unveiling the Power of “Non-Experts”
In a world that often glorifies expertise and specialization, it’s easy to feel like an outsider if you don’t consider yourself a certified “expert” in a particular field. However, what if we challenge the conventional notion of expertise and recognize the unique value that so-called “non-experts” bring to the table?
### The Myth of Expertise
The traditional view of an expert involves years of education, specialized knowledge, and a string of credentials. But does this definition encompass the breadth of human experience and creativity? Emphatically, no.
### The Power of Diverse Perspectives
Contrary to popular belief, expertise isn’t confined to a narrow set of skills. Each individual brings a unique set of experiences, insights, and perspectives that contribute to a richer collective understanding. So, if you think you’re not an expert, think again.
### Everyday Expertise
Consider the skills and knowledge you’ve gained through your personal and professional journey. From navigating complex relationships to adapting to rapidly changing environments, your experiences have equipped you with a form of expertise that textbooks can’t teach.
### The Innovation of “Non-Experts”
History is rife with examples of groundbreaking ideas originating from unexpected sources. From Steve Jobs, who lacked formal engineering education, to J.K. Rowling, an aspiring writer turned literary phenomenon – “non-experts” have a remarkable capacity for innovation precisely because they approach problems with fresh eyes.
### Embrace Your Learning Journey
Instead of fixating on the destination of expertise, focus on the journey of continuous learning. The most successful individuals are those who embrace their curiosity and adaptability, always eager to explore new territories and expand their horizons.
### Collaboration Over Competition
Imagine a world where individuals with diverse backgrounds and expertise collaborate seamlessly. By recognizing the value in each other’s unique perspectives, we can foster a culture of collaboration that transcends traditional boundaries.
### Redefining Success
Success should not be measured solely by the depth of expertise in a particular field. It’s time to redefine success as the ability to learn, adapt, and contribute meaningfully to the world around us. You are an expert in your own right, with a wealth of knowledge waiting to be shared.
In conclusion, the next time you doubt your expertise, remember that being a “non-expert” is not a limitation but a superpower. Embrace your unique journey, celebrate your diverse skills, and contribute your valuable insights to the world. After all, expertise is not a destination but a lifelong adventure of discovery.

The 3 Secrets to Landing Big JV Partners.
Such! You’ve got a great product. In fact, there’s never been another product like yours in the history of the world. Your product is going to sell like SANGBUSTERS because, well, 9ecause you just know it will. Because t has to. Because you just sunk the ast 6 months and several thousand dollars into building the product, but, t’s going to all be worth it as soon as these stupid, snobby, too-good-to-talk(o-you big shot marketers come down off of their high horses and promote it FOr YOU.
Whew.
Okay, maybe that’s not exactly how VOU see”
Sut you do believe you’ve got a great oroduct that will sell well, and you
Yeah. Right.
remember all too well how hard it Nas to get anyone to take a look at my offer, much less promote it for me nhen | was new. And do you know nhy? It’s because like almost every yew marketer out there, had it yackwards.
Imagine a man knocks on the door of 4 woman he’s never met before. She »pens the door a crack to see who it is ind realises she doesn’t know him ‘rom an axe murderer. Through the srack in the door he says to her, “Hi 3aby, | have a fantastic deal for you! ‘m going to do you a huge favor by getting you drive me in your car to an =xpensive restaurant where you’ve nade reservations for us. I’m going to et you buy me dinner with cocktails and a bottle of wine, and afterwards I’ll let you take me to an expensive 3roadway show that’s booked six months in advance. And after that, I’ll let you an even bigger favor and let you sleep with me. What do ou say?’
Seriously, what do you think she’ll say 0 this stranger at her door? | suspect she slammed the door shut when he jot to the part about the expensive restaurant and reservations.
And yet new marketers take this exact same approach all the time when asking established marketers to act as heir affiliates or JV partners.
Hi Joe Marketer, | have a fantastic deal for you! I’m going to do you a vuge favor by letting you devote several days of your precious yromotional schedule to selling my oroduct to your list and followers. Sure, you don’t know me, you don’t
Jo for a total stranger, right?”
Now imagine receiving one or even several of these requests every day. Is t any wonder that seasoned marketers stop answering their email, and new marketers have trouble Jetting an one to eromote for them?
_It’s go back to the guy and gal analogy. What if that guy were to come up to the woman — not at her front Joor, but at work — and simply introduce himself and maybe thank er for something she did at her job? Maybe he comes back in a couple of Jays and comments on something she wrote or asks a relevant question. 4e starts following her on social nedia and engaging her there.
A little bit of interaction here, a little bit ‘here…
Then maybe he does something nice or her — shares one of her links, tells 1is Facebook Fans about her business – or he simply buys one of her products. She’s starting to take notice of him. He’s not scary and in fact he seems like a nice guy. What’s this? He’s got a website. She checks it out. 4mm… this might be someone north getting to know better.
The following month or maybe the ‘following year, what happens? She’s sromoting his product. Or maybe she’s Not, but maybe she introduced him to a friend of hers that’s an even better fit ‘or a joint venture.
You already know the point I’m getting 0 here — don’t pounce on strangers and expect them to do you a huge ‘avor when they don’t even know you. And yes, promoting your product is indeed a huge favor.
The 3 Secrets to Landing Big JV Partners:
1. Build the relationship before asking for the favor, whatever that favor might be. (You already knew that, right?)
2. Build your own audience through social media, list building and so forth. Then when your product is ready to launch, launch it to your list first. Take note of the click through rates, conversion rates and refund rates. Now you’ve got something to tell potential affiliates and JV partners other than, “I think this will sell well.”
3. Realise that not everyone is going to promote your product, no matter how good you are at building relationships first. Maybe they only promote their own products. Maybe they just dont think your product is a good fit for their list. Maybe they’re having a bad day/week/life. Don’t worry about it. If you build enough relationships with others, you’ll find that some promote, some don’t and it’s all good.
10 Tips for Building Your Blogging Brande.
You’ve either got a blog already, or you’re just about to start one. Congratulations! You are one of only 500 million. Now then, knowing that your blog is (statistically speaking) less than a needle in a haystack, how are you going to get it NOTICED and read?
In one word, the answer is BRANDING. You can either throw together a blog and hope it somehow gets found, or you can carefully craft a brand that captures readers’ attention and keeps them coming back for more.
To throw one together, just do what 99.9% of other bloggers do — wing it. Fly by the seat of your pants and hope for the best. In six months (or sooner) you’ll likely be so discouraged you’ll give up.
Building a brand is obviously the way to go. Think Google, Coke, Apple and Nike to understand the huge potential branding holds for your blog. Brands stand for something, mean something and create loyalty in their customers. They stand apart and often far, far above the competition. And best of all, really good brands get remembered and are sought out by consumers.
Here then are 10 tips for building your blogging brand:
Who are you writing to? Exactly who is your blog meant for? Create a clear picture of your ideal reader, including age, profession, family, worries, problems, hobbies, etc. You’ll be writing to this one person rather than trying to talk to everyone. Remember, when you target everyone, you interest no one. But when a certain segment of the population believes you’re writing just for them, you’ll build a loyal following.
Why are you writing to your specific readers? What is your goal? It might be to educate, to persuade, to motivate, etc. Keep your goal in mind at all times.
What are you writing about? This is your topic. It might be physical fitness, marketing, dating, etc. Decide in advance what your message is going to be.
Choose a brandable name. If you’re creating a fitness blog, for example, then you might choose a one or two word brand name that people are likely to remember, rather than a keyword laden name.
HowToGetHealthyAndLoseWeight.co m isn’t really brandable — it’s too
generic and too keyword rich. Think in terms of “Google” — now that’s a
brand. You might try things like FitMonkey.com or SkinnyCakes.com — those are brandable and memorable.
Create a snappy tagline. Aname generally isn’t enough — you also want a tagline to help brand yourself, to clarify what you do and to make your blog more memorable. If your blog is on bacon recipes, your url might be DeadPiggy.com and your tagline might be “Bacon lover’s recipes for the nonchef.” See how the tagline not only defines that the site is about bacon recipes, but also narrows the niche to those who dont consider themselves to be good cooks? This is a prime example of using a tagline to define what you do and WHO you do it for.
Get a logo. Can you picture the Apple logo? Nike? Coke? A logo is an integral part of your brand. Make it clean, simple, eye-catching and unique. It’s worth the extra money to get your logo just right.
Adapt your logo into a favicon. Again, this is an important part of branding your blog.
Use a website design that matches your topic. A header full of balloons and clowns on a website about grieving generally isn’t going to work. Dull colors on a children’s website or a lack of photos of gardens on a gardening website won’t work. Make sure all of the visual elements of your site correspond with your topic.
Choose a writing style and stick with it. Take a lesson from McDonald’s here and give your readers what they’ve come to expect from you. Maybe you’re writing to a technical crowd – then you might write like an engineer. Or perhaps you’re taking on a persona, like the Rich Jerk. Odds are you’re going to write like yourself, which is perhaps best of all because you won’t have any trouble maintaining that style. Consistency is key because if one day you’re writing like the guy next door and the next day you’re writing like an English professor, your readers are going to get confused and likely won’t return.
Promote your blog’s name through social media. Consistently use your blog’s name everywhere. Don’t use “Law Enforcement Weight Loss’ on Twitter and “Muscle Cops” on Facebook — no one will realize it’s the same blog you’re referring to. Again, this is another reason to choose a unique, short, brandable name that no one else is using anywhere.
If your blog is going to stand apart from the crowd, then you’ve got to do a little extra work, but that work will likely pay off handsomely in the end.
Not only will you stand apart from the crowd, you’ll also discover that if you ever decide to sell your blog, you’ll be able to charge a great deal more because you took the time to brand it.
Case Study: Simple Newslettle Vields $40,000 in 6 Months.
Because competition is a real factor here, I’m not allowed to reveal the exact niche for this case study. Luckily, this method will work in any niche where you can save people money on something they’re already buying. And it will work in a lot of other niches, too, but for now let’s talk about the whole money saving deal.
For purposes of discussion, I’m going to change the niche to air travel, and welll assume it’s not during a pandemic.
This person — we’ll call him Vinnie – set up an information email list giving away free info on cheap flights. Again, I’ve changed the niche, but let’s roll with it. When airlines get cancellations, make mistakes and so forth, they sometimes offer crazy good deals just to get the seats filled. Vinnie keeps tabs of these offers and sends his list info that can save them a lot of money on their airline tickets.
But here’s where it gets good: While anyone can subscribe for free, he also has a paid version. The cost is low, about $40 for 3 months or $90 for a year. The savings on just one deal alone can be several hundred dollars, making it an easy sale to air travelers.
The difference between free and paid subscriptions is the free subscribers only get about one third of the deals in their inbox.
Paid subscribers get ALL the deals.
Here’s what’s great about this business model:
* The content writes itself. All you would be doing is passing along the info that your readers want. Essentially it might sound something like, “Delta is offering 2 for 1 discounts for the next 24 hours for transatlantic flights. Here’s the link to their site.”
– Readers can easily afford the subscription price. if they have the money for plane tickets, they can afford a $90 subscription.
* Getting just one deal a year more than pays for the subscription. People who continue to fly do not unsubscribe.
* Paid members get an ego bump because they have ‘inside knowledge’ they can brag about to others. “My gu saved me $400 on my ticket.”
* It’s easy to get new subscribers. Since he has a free version and because people want to save money his conversion rate on his squeeze page is extremely high.
* Once free subscribers see how valuable the info is and realize they are missing two-thirds of it, upgrading is an easy sell.
He made $140,000 in just the first six months alone. He wouldn’t tell me how much he’s made since, but | do know he bought an expensive new house and he’s hired 3 people to handle most of the business for him.
One more thing: Once he realized how big this was going to become (and please remember, | have not revealed his true niche) he decided to bring on affiliates with a referral program. This made things explode and kept his competition to a minimum.
Here’s what you can do: Be on the lookout for any niche where people need quick, up to date info on something. It might not just be about saving money on a particular item. Maybe they need the latest news or methods in their niche such as investing and so forth.
When you find a good possibility, verify that people are paying money in the niche. Obviously, people pay for airline tickets so that would be easy. And some niches will surprise you. I’ve heard of a guy who is making a killing writing a monthly newsletter about collecting arrowheads. He works maybe 5 to 10 hours a month and pulls in $10,000 in monthly subscriptions in his one man overaties
Create a free version of your newsletter, find where your audience hangs out and get them signed up. Show them why it’s to their benefit to become an insider and upgrade to the paid version.
Learn your numbers and start advertising to scale the entire operation up. Vinnie advertises online and in publications.
Remember to sell your readers other stuff, too. If your niche is golf tips, sell them golf equipment and golf packages. If your niche is dog training, sell them high end dog food and so forth.
This is so simple, you can get started almost immediately, just as soon as you choose your profitable niche.
How to Get Viral Blog Posts Done For You??
Let me preface this by reminding you that the greatest selling tool in all the world isn’t the internet, or sales letters or sales videos or even word of mouth. It’s stories.
Stories sell like nothing else because we are hard wired to listen to and love Stories. It’s in our genes. There was a time when storytelling could literally save our lives. Think of a primitive man coming back from a hunt and telling everyone in camp the story of how ‘Bob’ was killed by a saber tooth tiger in the sixth valley to the south.
Do you think anyone would venture into the sixth valley to the south after that? No way, because they knew the story of how Bob got killed by the tiger who lives there.
Now then, here’s how to get experts to practically write your blog posts for you AND get them to do it in story form:
Ask them a question that invites a personal story.
For example, your blog is about investing in commodities. This week you want a blog post on pork futures (I’m making this stuff up right now) so you send out an email to every commodities expert you know of, asking them about their most memorable pork futures story. It doesn’t matter if they made or lost money, you just want to hear their story. A dozen of them write back and you put those stories together into a post.
You’re doing a few things here:
First, you’re getting experts to weigh in on an interesting question, which means you get to ‘borrow’ on their credibility, making you look good to your readers and customers.
Second, you’re doing this in story form, and since people love stories, they are coming back to your blog every week for more of these stories.
Third, you’re building a relationship with these experts. Sure, some of them won’t respond to you, but others will be eager to share their stories. And down the road, who knows what might happen. They could end up promoting your product to their lists, or asking you to do a JV, or even becoming good friends with you.
Fourth, blog posts like these tend to get shared on social media which brings in more traffic.
Fifth, your experts might also share
your posts with their followers. “Hey, my hog futures story is featured in thi post, check it out.”
The trick here is to phrase your questions in such a way that it invites personal stories.
And don’t forget to ask your readers the same questions. Sometimes it’s the everyday guy or gal you don’t kno who has the best story — the one that makes your article go viral or even get referenced on other major sites.

Using Emoji to Boost Your Marketing.
Emojis aren’t just for friends; they’re also dynamite at capturing your customers attention, increasing user engagement and even helping to close sales. The funny thing is that most businesses think emojis are best left to 16-year old girls: “We want to maintain a professional appearance to our customers which is why we will never use emojis in any of our communications,” said the out-of-touch company executive to the marketing team struggling to increase lackluster sales.
In the last 100 years of advertising, there has NEVER been a time when the personal touch didn’t increase the value of business to consumer communication. It doesn’t matter if it an email, a social media post, an article or a sales letter. Giving all of your communications a personal touch with emojis just makes good marketing sense.
What are emojis? ++
Emojis are small icons and images using Unicode Standard. They’re used in all forms of digital communication. Emojis can be yellow smileys or represent common objects such as food, animals, sports, transportation and more.
In marketing, the vast majority of the emojis you use will be emoticons – emojis that represent emotions with facial representations. @ And it’s emoticons we’ll be referring to in the rest of this article, even though we’ll still use the term emoji.
Why do emojis enhance your marketing message?
There are many reasons emojis improve marketing, and here are a few:
They capture attention. You receive a hundred new emails. 99 use 100% text in the subject line while one uses a smiley face or a heart. All else being equal, which one do you notice first?
They convey meaning. A text message that ends with a period gives a slightly different feeling than one ending with an exclamation point. Let’s see what happens if we use an emoji, too.
“I’m excited about this.”
VS
“I’m excited about this!”
Visual is faster than text. Your brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text. And since emojis are images, the brain can process emojis in a flash.
More likes, more shares, more comments. Based on multiple studies, emojis in Facebook posts lead to 57% more likes, 33% more shares and 33% more comments compared to Facebook posts with no emojis. Do you use emojis in your Facebook ads? If not, you might want to start.
Your brain sees emojis as an actual face. A study from the School of Psychology in Flinders University, Australia shows the brain behaving the same way regardless of whether it’s seeing a human face or an emoji. That’s why emojl user engagement is higher than plain text user engagement.
Human faces – and now emojis – increase engagement . For decades we’ve known that people will look at human faces longer than at almost any other image in an advertisement. And now that we know the brain sees emojis the same way it sees faces, it’s pretty obvious we need to use them in all of our written communications.
Emojis make your customers happy. €} Not only do your customers feel happier when they use emojis, they also feel happier and like the sender more when they receive emojis, too. And happy customers are almost always more likely to convert, whether it’s to join your mailing list, forward your message or buy your product.
“Humanizes your business. Emojis can be the perfect way to convey the fact there is areal live person sending the message, rather than some faceless company.
Better connections. According to the Emoji Trend Report, emojis help users better communicate their thoughts and feelings and connect to people.
How to Find Your Emojis
Because you can’t create most emojis using your text keyboard, you need to download or open a separate one.
Here’s how:
iPhone and iPads
iPhones and iPads have the emoji keyboard built into the operating system. To add the keyboard…
* Open Settings .
* Tap General > Keyboard > Keyboards
* Tap Add New Keyboard > Emoji
To access the keyboard, open your Messages or Mail. Tap the @ next to the microphone, which should change your keyboard. If you have any other keyboards added, you might have to tap the icon acouple times.
Android
Newer Android phones have emojis built into the keyboard. But older models require you to download a third-party app like Kika, SwiftKey, or Textra.
From there, apply the new emojis to your keyboard like this:
Settings > Language and Input > Virtual Keyboard > Manage Keyboards
Now select the keyboard you’d like to download.
Mac
On both Mac and Windows you can Google an emoji and then copy and paste it into your message. But there is an easier way to do it:
When you’re typing on your Mac and want to insert an emoji, simply tap Control + Command + Spacebar to pop open the emoji keyboard. @
Tap the emoji you want to use or drag and drop if it doesn’t insert automatically.
You can also turn on the emoji keyboard on your Mac by tapping the Apple icon in the top left corner. Then, open System Preferences > Keyboard and click Show Keyboard and Emoji Viewers in Menu Bar.
This places a shortcut in the menu bar, and with one tap you can access all emojis and symbols.
Windows
Again, you can copy and paste if you’re so inclined. You can also use the keyboard shortcut for Windows which is…
Windows Key + Period or Windows Key + Semicolon @
This shortcut brings up the built-in keyboard from which you can tap the emoji you want to use.
Most Popular Emojis and When to Use
Laughing Emoji @ is the most commonly used emoji on Twitter, and also the most popular according to Apple’s data. Use this in conjunction with humor, such as when you regale your readers on the stupid thing you did last night.
Red Heart Emoji & and Heart Eyes Emoji @ can be used when you are referring to something or someone you love as well as how much you appreciate your customers. A little trickier but worth trying: Use it to indicate just how much your prospect will love your product.
Embarrassed/Flushed Face Emoji @ can demonstrate your humility and gratitude when receiving praise or an award.
Side Eye Emoji @ is good to use if you want to show the playful side of your brand or if you’re making a joke and you want to indicate that you’re kidding.
Eyes Emoji «* can be used to draw attention to a link or image.
Thinking Emoji @ shows you are deep in thought, such as when you’re not sure about a controversial issue, or when you’re explaining the thinking process you went through to arrive at your conclusion.
Sweat Emoji @ is used to express a Close call. “Whew! That could have been bad”.
Hand Up Emoji @ is great for getting social media participation. For example, you could post, “Who thinks smooth peanut butter is better than crunchy? Give me a “@@” if you agree!”
Tips for Using Emojis in Business
* Let your customers use emojis to give you quick feedback. The preferred choice of customers to let a brand know they’re doing a good job is the thumbs up, @ followed by a star .+ or asmiley face. @
¢ Avoid anything cryptic or ambiguous. If the emoji doesn’t clearly communicate your intended message, don’t use it. @ (Pizza, anyone? You see what I mean.)
* Emojis are for complimenting your message, not replacing it.
– Since women @ tend to use emojis more than men 3, consider your target market when deciding how often to use emojis.
* Don’t think that only young people use emojis because they are popular at all ages, although the meaning of certain emojis can be slightly different for a 20-year old and a 60-year old.
« Use emotional emojis to break down barriers and humanize your brand.
* Consider creating your own emojis for your brand. For example, they might look like other emojis except they are wearing something like a hat or bowtie that identifies them with your business.
* Ifyou are communicating with an individual in business and you are unsure, use social mimicry for clues. If they are using an informal tone or if they use an emoji themselves, then it’s fine to send your own emojis.
« Use only common emojis that are easy to understand or already universal. The idea is to improve your communications, not bewilder your audience.
Know that a small segment of your audience will be totally clueless about emojis and another small segment will take emoji use to an artform. For example, Cosmo published a 2,200 word article on the importance of choosing the just right color and style of heart emojis for the right occasions.
It’s all the people in between those two extremes that you are targeting with your emojis, so don’t sweat it if you don’t always get your emoji usage exactly right – almost no one does.

This Mind- Flip Makes it Impossible to Fail.
Sitting aside every self- help book out there, I’d like to propose the theory that there is One think you need to be successful, and that you are already incessant of this thing. You just don’t know it yet.
Teen years ago to market us started their online journey. There both Android similar pitfalls and setbacks. One went on to make millions. The other on field miserablely and works a 9 to 5 job. What made the difference?
The mind-flip.
Imagine you have a switch in your brain and every time you have any kind of send back whatsover, you sleep that switch into finding the positive in it No, I’m not talking about pie -in -the- sky rainbows, and magic pink unicorn thinking.I’m talking about flipping your own switch because no one else is going to do it for you.
Instead of getting discouraged, angry or sad, find the good or the lesson in everything that normally gets you down. These is called resilience.we’re told to be resilient, two bounce back from defeat and just keep moving but no one tales as how to do that.So, let me try, and see it this resonates with you.
You get an angry email from a customer.Yeah! This is your chance to make it right while also finding out if there is perhaps a flaw in your product. What awesome thing to have happen! Your formaly angry customer now understands. What happened, they’re thrilled with the attention you paid to them and how you resolved the issue,and you have feedback on how to improve the way customers use your product.
You have trouble with your website.Yeah!now you get to call your host or your website builder or whoever and let them show you hot awesome service they provided.You’re not happy with the result? Yeah! Now you have the perfect reason to go find a new host or webmaster who will make you happy!
You dropped that dish of saghet on the floor,for weeks and this is the perfect motivation to get it done. Now look at it shine!
You missed the light and now you have to wait 3 minutes to get through the intersection? Yeah!if you had made the light perhaps you would have been involved in a fatal accident that you’ve now missed!
All of this sound a bit crazy? Maybe… But your experience is exactly what you make it. Ions went camping with a friend. As we arrived eat started to rain and it didn’t stop raining for two days and two nights.Yeah! I took it as a challenge and it was one of my best vacation ever. I sang in the rain, dance in the rain,hiked in the rain and listened to the rain on my tent as I fell soundly asleep each night.
My friend, however, decided to be miserable the certain time. He grumbled, complained, got angry licked fights and spent the inter time wishing he was someplace else. He also wasn’t too happy that I didn’t share his attitude but oh well.
We share the same experience and yet it was positive for me and horrible for him.The only difference was how we chose to do what was happening.
I might be oversimplifying here but when you boil it all down, I think the only difference between the successful person and the failure is resilience
Look for the bright side of everything. Sure it’s a cliche, but it is a fact that your experience is hot you choose it to be.
Have you ever felt sad or depressed about something, and then you drank some coffee or you took a walk, and then felt 10 times better about it?The situation didn’t change you did and ones you have the positive mindset, you can move forward and do whatever it is that needs to be done.
Here are 9 tips for flipping your mindset to the positive side of life.
Play opposites:-when you think a negative thought such as,”I hate getting on these Zoom meetings,”ask yourself,”what if the opposite were true?
Friends:- support groups are wonderful for helping you to build this resilience.Talk it out and help each other to see the positive. If they insist on being negative-and let’s face it,some people reveal in negative then get a new support group.
Greatest Hits:- when you’re feeling down about yourself or your abilities, think about times when you did awesome things that totally worked for you.
Self- Care:- Get enough sleep and eat well Exercise. All of these things will help you to stay positive and keep moving forward in your business and in your life.
Is it True?:- when you notice your negative thoughts are spiraling out of control, ask yourself if those thoughts are true.9 times out of 10 you will realise the negative thoughts are a distortion and out of touch with reality.
Acceptance:- instead of negative judging yourself for being passimistic except your current mindset and stop fighting it, Then set it aside and move on.
Humor:- can’t find the positive in the situation? Then pretend 5 years have gone by and you’re telling someone the story of what just happened find the funny in it and make your friend laugh .
Use Your Power:- you always- ALWAYS -have the power to choose how you will be circumstances.Maybe right now you choose to feel bad, but realise that is indeed your choice. Try choosing to feel just 1% better and see what happens.
Body Language:- emotions follow the body and not the other way around. When you force yourself to smile, stand tall and rise your arms overhead in a victory gesture, you feel better. Even holding a pencil sideways in your mouth will activate your smile muscles and improve your mood.
Now I know that some people reading this will have a strong rebuttal for me that goes like this:We’rein the middle of a pandemic my life is upside down and people are getting sick and even dying. How am I supposed to mind shift unto positivity?
All of that is 100% true.but can you think of a better or more important time in your life to practice resilience and the good in everything you possibly can?
The next time something is getting you down, go take a walk. Or play your favourite music. Or pet your dog or talk to someone. Taking a break is a good thing because it gives you the perspective you something need to keep moving forward.
Practice flipping the switch in your brain each time things don’t go the way you planned. This life -skill will see you through the tough times and ensure massive success in the good times.
