Life is short. Take control of your life RIGHT NOW. The mind is a powerful tool that can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
Research shows that, in one day, we think around 70,000 thoughts. Ask yourself, “Are you in charge of these thoughts, or are they in charge of you?”
Many of us spend a lot of time taking care of our bodies, our businesses, and our relationships. However, when it comes to our minds, we fail to pay attention.
If you want to live a happy and successful life, it is imperative that you master your mind. Incredible things happen in your life when you decide to take control of your life.
In the words of Leon Brown, “It begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.”

It’s a lot easier to be mentally strong when life is easy, however the reality is that we grow the most when we are faced with challenges.
Mental strength is more that just motivation; it requires hard work, commitment, and a sheer determination to succeed.
Making the conscious choice to develop the skills that will increase your mental strength is one of the best ways to prepare you for the obstacles that life will throw at you.
Take control of your life RIGHT NOW.
Mentally strong people understand how important it is to develop healthy habits for their mind, body, and soul. They take ownership and responsibility for everything that happens in their lives.
Alternatively, mentally weak people tend to drop into victim mode and blame the world for their problems. They feel sorry for themselves, which is oftentimes a way of meeting their needs for love and attention from others.
You don’t have control over the external world. All that you have control over is your mind and emotions. There are people in this world that are in the exact same circumstance as you, and yet they may have a totally different emotional experience.
How do you react and interpret the events that occur in your life? Do you use challenges as opportunities for growth, or do you run away, letting your emotions get the best of you? If it’s the latter, it’s time to take control of your life RIGHT NOW.
Neuroscience is showing us that the brain is plastic, endowed with a lifelong capacity to reorganize itself with each new experience. You have the power to reprogram your mind, and develop the mental skills that will allow you to master your life.
Here are 3 ways to take control of your life RIGHT NOW:
1. Develop Self-Awareness
If you want to take control of your life RIGHT NOW, you need to, first and foremost, develop self-awareness. Self-awareness is the foundation of personal growth and success.
You cannot be mentally strong without the ability to understand and effectively manage your emotional state. The good news is that emotional intelligence is a flexible skill, and one that you can develop every day, by living more mindfully.
A great exercise for doing this is creating a daily meditation practice. Research shows that if you bring meditation into your daily life, you will not only become more self-aware, but it will also improve your overall health and well-being
2. Create A Morning Ritual
I am a big believer in the power of morning rituals. Recent research demonstrates that rituals can have a causal impact on people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Creating a positive daily routine builds up your mental strength, allowing you to optimize your mind for greatness.
In the words of Tony Schwartz, the CEO of The Energy Project, “Build highly-specific behaviors that you do at precise times over and over again until you don’t have to use energy to get yourself to do it anymore.” Developing healthy habits is one of the most effective ways to create lasting change in your life.
3. Focus On The Positive
You can’t be mentally strong and experience negative emotions at the same time. Having a positive mindset means that you focus on what is already in front of you, instead of dwelling on what is not.
By shifting your perspective to a mindset that focuses on possibilities, you expand your opportunities in life. This is supported by research that shows that positive emotions broaden your sense of possibility and open your mind up to more options.
Take control of your life RIGHT NOW. The sooner that you master your mind, the sooner that you will be free to create the life of your dreams. In the words of Lao Tzu, “If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.”
