Your History is Not Your Destiny

Hello Champion:

Regret. Sorrow. Disappointment. 

These are feelings that we have experienced after a bad decision. 

Our brains can easily drift to times where we made the wrong move.

And it is OK…..

However, we must never let those decisions define our future. 

We need to start finding healthy ways to accept the negative outcomes and appreciate the valuable lessons that we have learned from these mistakes'.

Here are some of the best tips on how to move on from the lasting impact of your past decisions. 

• Focus on the truth of what has happened.

• Accept your feelings of regret. 

• Start practicing gratitude 

• Create a decision-making process to set yourself up for the future. 

Remember, we cannot let our minds be consumed by automatic negative thoughts. We must feed ourselves with positive counter thoughts that will help us grow. 

“I am going to strike out again” vs. “I made some good contact on foul balls last at bat”

“I am not a morning person” vs. “It will feel great to get a workout in before the work day”

“This client will never sign with my company” vs. “I am going to follow up until I get a meeting” 

At the end of the day, what we think about ultimately becomes our reality. Remember, only you get to choose your mindset.
