"I AM NOT A PRODUCT OF MY CIRCUMSTANCES. I AM A PRODUCT OF MY DECISIONS"

The late Stephen Covey, Author of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” continues to give us some great insights into these behaviors and how they can affect our personal and professional life. This book is over 30 years old and still resonates with me. It is a great resource to visit to get you back on track with your physical and mental health.

Here is a Mindset Alignment Exercise for Developing Personal Power

  • Allow their physical environment to affect them and let circumstances and environments control them.
  • Blame external forces and influences for their behavior
    Live in a mindset of fear, overwhelm & anxiety.
  • Find excuses for why things aren’t working for them. This affects how they feel, perform in daily life and work. This behavior is contagious and influences others bringing them down.
  • Speak reactively “I can’t”, “that’s just how it is”, “I’m not good enough”, “there’s no way
  • Focus on Concerns - News media, the weather, others political views, the pandemic, things they have no control over
  • Believe they have no choice.

  • Think before you act.
  • Be proactive in your thoughts and see how everything changes! We invite abundance & opportunity to our lives. We Feel Good. We radiate light, we become magnets to attract the people and opportunities for what we want in our lives!
  • Surround yourself with like minded people that inspire and lift you up.

 We are in a world of uncertainties but we must not let it define us. Stay true to who you are, what you love, what you want, what you do. Do not remain stagnant. Through chaos comes opportunity to grow. Take this time to learn, shift, find your personal power & prepare for a better tomorrow.

Love & Strength,
