You Control Your Mood | What I Know Now 45

I'm really starting to realize how much you truly can improve in your life, and things I formerly didn't even consider on the plate, I'm now able to do with relative ease!

It's a massive mindset change that I'm currently in the midst of and realizing that there isn't much I can't do if I set my mind to it. There are so many things you can make huge improvements in what you want to learn with focused and intentional effort. The problem is, I often face the scenario where I don't feel up to doing something, and previously, I would write it off as something I can't fix, and there are just going to swing like that. To a certain extent, I believe that to be true, but I'm coming to find that you can program how you show up in those scenarios and throw the odds in your favor of wanting to be up for something. 

For example, these past few weeks, I've felt absolutely drained and pretty unmotivated in a lot of my work. But after a conversation with my father, I forgot to take into account that I was massively losing weight (on purpose) each week and that in months past, it would leave me sucked dry. Just coming to realize that the weight loss may be a reason for my weird lack of motivation helped me see what kind of changes I can make to improve it or consider when making decisions. 

Key takeaways:

1) There isn't much you can't do if you set your mind to it

2) Don't take things you thought were impossible for granted; you can change them

3) Set the odds in your favor by doing things ahead of time to feel the right ways
