How to get out of your own head

Hi Candidate,

There are some people who shouldn't be allowed online. Case in point: This person who left a 1-star review of the Grand Canyon.

(I don't know what's worse. The person who left the review or the 4 people who found it helpful.)

Can you imagine being so self-involved that you go to one of the greatest wonders of the natural world and think it's not enough for you?

While most people aren't this oblivious — thankfully — some people do spend way, way too much time stuck in their own head. They worry about what to eat, what to wear, who to talk to, what they aren't doing now but should be doing…

It's exhausting. And not particularly helpful.

But what can you do today to get out of your own head?

I'd like to share a philosophy that's helped change my perspective on tough challenges:

Instead of focusing on reducing the bad,
I like to increase the good.

It's like someone who wants to lose weight. The usual advice says "Don't eat that, or that, or that." (Notice how negative it is. Plus people hate to be told to stop doing something.)

My approach? "Forget about what not to eat. Start by eating THIS, and THIS, and THIS."

Don't reduce the bad. Increase the good.

I did the same with money. Notice that a lot of experts tell you to cut back. I encourage you to spend on lattes and even awesome luxury vacations (and if you want to know how to earn more to pay for it, I'll show you how).

Don't just decrease the bad. Increase the good.

This simple flip — of focusing on doing more of the positive, instead of reducing the negative — can completely change your life.

It lets you get out of your head because you can stop worrying about all the things you might have done "wrong" … and direct your energy to the awesome, fun, amazing things you WANT to do.

This is why I talk about Mental Mastery. About building up an amazing set of mental skills you can use to be mentally strong, be resilient, and have fun doing it.

If you're ever stuck in your head, I'd like you to watch this video to see a specific example of how to get out — and switch your focus to Mental Mastery.
