The 7-Day Mental Diet

The 7-Day Mental Diet (by Emmet Fox) is a self-improvement concept aimed at cultivating a more positive and constructive mindset. Here are five key points:

Conscious Thought Selection: Over seven consecutive days, individuals deliberately choose their thoughts. This involves being vigilant about the nature of thoughts arising and consciously redirecting negative or counterproductive ones into positive and empowering ones. The emphasis is on mindfulness and awareness of one’s mental patterns.
Letting Go of Negative Thoughts: During this period, individuals commit to releasing negative thoughts and not holding onto them. This helps break the cycle of dwelling on pessimism and self-doubt, enabling a shift towards a more optimistic outlook.
Mindset Transformation: The 7-Day Mental Diet encourages a fundamental transformation of one’s mindset. By consistently practicing positive thinking, individuals aim to rewire their thought patterns and develop a habit of focusing on the bright side of situations.

Are You Afraid of Success? – Warrior Mind Podcast #646

Over 10 years and going strong! With over 2M downloads from over 18 countries and 7 continents’.... This is the Warrior Mind Podcast.

In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast, I’m going to discuss the question, Are You Afraid of Success?

Are You Afraid of Success?

The idea that someone can be afraid of success sounds odd to many people. Fear of failure is easier for most people to comprehend, but a fear of success? It sounds preposterous.

After all, who wouldn’t want to be more successful? Perhaps you!

Fear of success is a common obstacle to consistent and lasting success. People are often masters of achieving 90% of a goal, only to throw it all away at the last moment.

Fear of success has multiple components and symptoms. Read on to see if a fear of success is an obstacle for you.

The fear of success has more than one cause:

Fear of change. Humans are programmed to avoid change. This is true even if your life is in the pits. Why would this be? Because, even if you’re highly displeased with your life, you’re still surviving.

Your brain is concerned about what might happen if your situation changes. As far as your brain is concerned, alive and miserable is better than possibly happy and dead.

More about the question, Are You Afraid of Success?

Fear of greater responsibility. Success brings more responsibility. In many cases, you have to become more responsible to experience more success. When you’ve become successful, people expect more from you.
- Starting a business and experiencing success is great, but now you might have employees that rely on you.
- Building a real estate empire sounds great, but now you have tenants, debt, and complex taxes to deal with.
Fear of standing out. Some people love attention, but many do not. People notice when you’re successful, and many will dislike you for it. Jealousy and feelings of mediocrity can bring out the worst in others.
- There are people that would prefer to just blend into the background than stand in the spotlight. Perhaps you feel this way, too.

Those that fear success show several of the same symptoms:

Self-sabotage. Everyone has experienced that before. You’re doing well and making great progress. Then, it seems like the wheels just fall off. You make silly mistakes. You make poor choices. This is easy to see in others but can be challenging to identify in yourself.
Changing goals. You get close to achieving success and then suddenly decide to change your mind and do something else instead. If you keep changing direction, you’ll never make any real progress. Choose an appealing goal and stick with it.
Procrastination. A sudden lack of motivation is a common sign that you’re afraid of success. Procrastination is a primary killer of progress.

A fear of success can be managed. Try these techniques:

Determine the cause. What are you actually afraid of? Determine the cause of your fear, and you’ll have a chance to work around it. You can’t defeat the enemy you can’t see.
Notice how that fear changes your thoughts and behavior. What does that fear do to you? What are the symptoms of your fear of success? How are your thinking and behavior altered by this fear?
Face, rather than avoid, your fears. Avoiding your fear leads to failure. Develop a strategy for working around your fear. Become more resistant to fear. Give yourself a pep talk or enlist the help of a friend. Do whatever you need to do to continue making progress.

If you’re not sure why success seems to elude you, consider the possibility that you’re afraid of success. Do you have any of the symptoms? How successful do you think you’ve been to this point in your life? Are you underachieving?

A fear of success makes sense when you consider the source of that fear. However, what makes sense isn’t necessarily the most desired option. Overcome your fear of success and achieve the greatness you deserve.

The Importance of a Life Vision – Warrior Mind Podcast #648

Over 10 years and going strong! With over 2M downloads from over 18 countries and 7 continents’.... This is the Warrior Mind Podcast.

In this episode of the Warrior Mind Podcast, I’m going to go over the Importance of a Life Vision and How to Create One.

As we journey through life, there will be days when we feel adrift, unsure of where we’re heading or why. To anchor ourselves in the turbulence of existence, it’s crucial to have a clear and compelling vision for our life. A life vision serves as a compass, guiding us towards meaningful goals, actions, and decisions.

The Importance of a Life Vision:

Direction and Clarity: A vision illuminates our path, offering clarity in moments of doubt or uncertainty. When faced with crossroads or distractions, it’s easier to make decisions aligned with our ultimate goals.
Motivation and Commitment: Knowing our “why” fuels persistence and resilience. When challenges arise, a powerful life vision motivates us to push through and stay committed.
Personal Growth: Pursuing a vision often requires us to step out of our comfort zone, leading to personal and professional growth.
Legacy and Impact: A well-defined vision helps us shape the legacy we leave behind, ensuring our actions leave a positive impact on others and the world.

More on The Importance of a Life Vision and How to Create One

Steps to Create a Life Vision:

Self-reflection: Begin by asking introspective questions. What are your passions? What values resonate most with you? Where do you see yourself in 5, 10, or 20 years?
Define Your Values: Before you can manifest your vision, you need to understand your core values. These are the principles and beliefs that guide your actions. They act as the foundation of your vision.
Visualize: Take a moment to imagine your ideal life without any boundaries. What are you doing? Who are you with? Where are you? Let your imagination run wild, capturing the essence of your dream life.
Write it Down: Convert your thoughts and feelings into words. Create a vision statement. It doesn’t have to be long—a sentence or two capturing the essence of your dream life can be enough. This act solidifies your vision, making it tangible.
Break it Down: Once you have a broad vision, break it down into actionable goals. These are steps you can take to progressively achieve your vision. Create both short-term and long-term goals.
Visual Aids: Consider creating a vision board filled with images, quotes, and symbols that resonate with your life’s vision. This serves as a daily reminder and inspiration.
Review and Revise: As with everything in life, change is constant. As you grow and evolve, so might your vision. Regularly review your life vision to ensure it remains aligned with your evolving self.

Having a clear life vision is not about predicting the future—it’s about shaping it. It’s about deciding the kind of life you want to live, the legacy you wish to leave, and then aligning your actions to manifest that reality. So, take a step back, reflect, dream big, and set forth with a vision that lights up your path in life.
