To sustainably bring out the best in yourself - no matter what you do - you need to be mentally fit.
To transform the world, you need to start by transforming yourself.
And that starts from the bottom up and the inside out.
Here are the building blocks to becoming mentally fit:
1️⃣. 💥 Activation
Identifying your vision and values so you are consistently moving towards your North Star - and making sure you are putting your values in action.
2️⃣. ⚖️ Regulation
Balancing your nervous system to manage stress and energy levels - and shifting your state on the fly to meet the needs of the moment.
3️⃣. 🧘♂️ Contemplation
Noticing your typical pattern of thoughts, actions and behaviors you consistently use - and making sure they are working for you and not against you.
4️⃣. 🧭 Navigation
Recognizing your internal sensations and using that info to respond from a mindset that you choose - and building momentum towards your North Star.
5️⃣. 🛌 Recuperation
Prioritizing rest, recovery, sleep and downtime to enhance sustainable growth - and keeping a balanced body budget.
6️⃣. 👥 Communication
Sharing with those that make you feel supported and connected - and being there for the people and communities you love and support.
7️⃣. 🙏 Celebration
Hunting all the small wins that keep you grateful and motivated to keep going - and appreciating the energy you receive from noticing what's working.
8️⃣. ☯️ Integration
Connecting to all the parts of your identity that keep you feeling whole- and learning to work with the natural rhythms and cycles of your inner and outer life to create harmony.
