In carrying out my work as a restrictionator I need to introduce to you how hard it should be for your thoughts to qualify. This is timely with the Olympics starting as I put this piece together. I recently wrote on how you would be well served to investigate the kind of thoughts we allow into our heads which you can read here. Progressing on from playing investigator or gatekeeper you now need to transform your mind into the official selector. Focusing on qualifying the right kind of messages your brain needs to hear for you to grow and develop as an individual.
Take our Olympic athletes for example. These individuals have to go through a rigorous qualification process to get in to the Aussie squad. However for years leading up to that selection or qualification process they are visualising themselves successfully competing in the games. Do you think they would even get to Olympic trials if there thoughts were restrictive in any way. These aspiring Olympians train their minds to be their most valuable tool and if they aren't aware of the quality of their thoughts and only qualifying the beneficial ones they will fail in their quest for optimal performance. This is foundational not something they pick up along the way. Without this quality they are wasting their time even training physically to get to the selection trials.
Although you probably aren't aspiring to be a competing Olympic athlete it doesn't mean your mind doesn't have to qualify your thoughts for you to succeed in achieving outcomes. To aspire to a richly rewarding relationship with your wife, to get the promotion you want, to lose a certain amount of kilos or to just keep your bedroom tidy; (don't laugh I set this goal for myself years ago) you still need to qualify the right messages to have success. So my parting advice for all you budding successful restrictionees, make it hard for your messages to qualify before allowing them in. It may mean saying no more than you say yes to your thoughts. You still have to think so why not train yourself to do it for your benefit. Think qualification not damnation to get progression and stop stagnation.
