Committing to the Process

Committing to the process is essential to unlocking your full potential. If you don’t commit to the process, nothing will happen. You won’t be able to fully start your journey. It’s okay to be full of good intentions, but you also need to be able to have a clear idea of how to get where you want to go. Shifting from ideas to actions can be hard. It’s easy to daydream about starting something new, but it’s a totally other thing to really put those things into action.

Committing to the process means not procrastinating. Procrastination will only lead you to failure and the inability to attract all the desires you want and need. Struggling to see something through is hard for everyone, so don’t get discouraged if you are struggling to make your actions real. Just try to stay on track and let of the things you can’t control.

If there are some things in your life that you can’t control that are keeping you unmotivated, just try to let them go. Trying to hang onto them will cause the process to last much longer than it needs to. One easy way to commit to the process is to set goals. Without goals, you won’t be able to see the progress you are making. If you have clearly defined goals, you can track your progress and know you are doing the best you can. Don’t just write down the goals, write down how you achieve them. Without clear instructions to follow, you might continue to struggle with not being able to get on track.

Anytime you are committing to the process, you will need to track the how just as much as the why. Knowing all the different processes you can use to get to your destination will help you commit to the process and get to the end result more effectively.

Remember that intentions are only half the commitment. You need to put those intentions into place and start your actions today. Remember that the process requires dedication of time, listening, and intimacy with life. When you commit to the process, you give yourself a better chance of getting to the end result.

You Might Not Always Feel Like It

Remember that you won’t always feel like committing to the process. There will be some days where you wake up and feel like you don’t want to take any action or move forward. If you always follow your feelings, you will never succeed. You have to keep committing and moving forward even during the days and weeks where you feel like you’re over the process.

Chapter 1: Productivity Starts with the Right Mindset

Anything that you want can be changed if you have the right mindset. Your mind is your most powerful tool and your biggest challenger when it comes to productivity. Your mind is the thing that tells you to wait until tomorrow or to watch one more episode instead of starting your work. Your mind is also capable of incredible power to push you in the right direction.

By entering the right mindset you can set yourself up for success and increase your productivity! Mindset is crucial to beginning to change your work habits and strengthen good work routines as well as kicking unhelpful and unproductive habits and routines to the curb!

But how can you change your mindset? If you are looking for a long-term change, you can change your mindset by creating new neural pathways in your brain related to your workday and productivity by practicing a variety of mindfulness and mental exercises. Short term, there are a variety of techniques you can use at the moment to help your mindset enter a positive and productive state.

Changing your mindset at the moment is a challenge for some people. However, it is not something to be afraid of! Just as previously stated, your mind is your best tool. You have ownership of your mind. It is yours and therefore you can create any change you want!

To help create a more positive and productive mindset quickly, try meditation. Mediation may seem like a long-term solution, but taking a moment to reduce your stress through meditation is extraordinarily helpful. Meditation is known to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, help return the body to homeostasis, and even lower the level of the stress hormone cortisol in your body.

This happens all through the breath. Deep and full breathing is a core aspect of mediation and can help oxygenate the blood. When we get stressed at work, we tense our shoulders, back, or stomach. We begin to take shallower and shorter breaths. Taking long and slow deep breaths can help increase your blood oxygen levels and increase blood flow to your brain to help sharpen your focus.

Introduction

Let’s face it, high school is challenging. Not so much the lessons, which tend to be pretty simple. The most difficult aspect of high school is negotiating the norms and expectations of an opinionated adolescent microsociety, and doing everything possible, including tremendous leaps of energy and inventiveness, to avoid doing or doing anything that would earn the unshakeable label of being odd. Being labeled as unusual in high school is a death sentence. So most people try to appear like everyone else. However, in the end, we are all hiding.

We're still figuring out who we are and where we fit on the social interaction spectrum. Mistakes are unavoidable, but they should be committed in secret, away from the limelight of the halls, lunchroom, or special events. High school students are permitted to be nervous wrecks, fearful that their own shadow would mock them if they slip and fall. However, it should have stopped there.

Shouldn't the crushing desire for peer acceptance go away after we graduate from high school and become well-adjusted adults? The high school years are long gone, yet the social pressure to adhere to others' expectations remains as powerful as it has ever been. Everyone, young and old, it seemed, is still terrified of seeming odd. This widespread sense of unease overlooks a fundamental fact. It's OK to be eccentric. Weirdness is frequently a sign of latent power waiting to be unlocked.

Throughout history, the finest and brightest among us, the great inventors and innovators, have been those who have been ready to stand out and risk being viewed as strange. We are free to harness and expand the power of our various differences when I allow you to be you and you let me to be me, without judgement or criticism. Nobody is normal because everyone is strange.

And it’s okay to be strange! It’s okay to be unique! It’s okay to be different! In fact, it’s natural. And, really, it’s the only way to be. Why?

Personality occurs on a continuum. There is no correct or incorrect position on the spectrum. The concept of being objectively normal was invented in order to sell things and advance political goals. What I consider to be normal may not be normal for you. We lose sight of the natural when we seek the conventional. The new normal is natural.

We all have characteristics that distinguish us from one another, whether they be physical, intellectual, emotional, or other. The

Ego believes that differences are defects that should be concealed. The fact is that your superpower is what distinguishes you. You simply haven't figured out how to use it yet. Instead of concealing your oddness, figure out how to make it work for you. For example, your timidity may make you a better listener. Your uncomfortable chuckle may charm you to others. When we conquer our peculiarities, we gain immense power.

When you strive to fit into the mold of someone else, the outcomes will be substandard. Nobody pays to see the predictable; they pay to see the intriguing. By definition, your actual self is enticing. People will remember the thing you did that only you can do, not the thing you did that everyone can do.

Authenticity is in great demand in a society where conformity is the easy choice. Everyone wants to be more authentic, but we're all frightened of being the first. When you start living as your actual self, quirks and all, you offer others permission to do the same. We may not say it out, but everyone wants to see your authentic self. We yearn for authenticity.

Every good artistic breakthrough – artistic, musical, scientific, etc.

– is strange by definition because it provides a solution that is outside of the established paradigm. it necessitates a shift in thinking. Embracing your oddness provides you with a fresh viewpoint, and the world desperately needs a new perspective. The status quo does not foster innovation. When outsiders challenge the established quo with unusual ideas, this is when innovation occurs.

Everyone has their own qualities. Allowing ourselves to display these distinct features makes us happy. However, suppressing our distinctive features and denying our natural selves makes us feel bad and darkens our identities. Resistance to our distinctive features, however strange, results in a dark and inverted projection of self, much as a black hole emerges from the absence of a star.

Many individuals who conform do so because they are afraid of being alone. Standing out, on the other hand, will not make you lonely - far from it. By living honestly, you will meet others who share your oddness. This is your clan. When you step up and live your mission, you will discover those who have gone before you, and you will be an inspiration to those who will come after you.
