FROM THE VAULT: 8 Critical Habits For Building Mental Toughness! Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

This episode first aired 21 Dec 2018. Want to get my weekly newsletter? https://briankeanefitness.com/newsletter/ Today's solo episode is based on feedback from a few recent episodes on building mental strength and getting sh*t done whether you feel like it or not. I hope it helps. "We don't decide our future, we decide our habits and our habits decide our future" 1. Pursue your passion (either in work or personal life or both) 2. Start a gratitude journal (rewire your brain) 3. Become your own best friend (don't let your biggest enemy live between your two ears) 4. Get more sleep (or higher quality sleep) 5. Disconnect from technology (one day a week digital detox) 6. Spend time with a good book, meditate or exercise (switch your brain off!) 7.Learn to let go (hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die) 8.Commit to your goals (ask, believe, receive and work. Don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps or the time period)
