I dunno about you, but when I’ve had bad days and performances, it’s always been preceded by a not-so-perfect mindset.

Has that been the case for you as well?

I mean, I’ve never been simultaneously at the top of my mental game and been caught off-guard by a lackluster performance.

Now, the specific results (which we never have direct control over) may not have been what I was hoping for…

But when my psychology has been fine-tuned, my output has been outstanding.

And the opposite has been the case as well.

So if you’re not where you want to be and are frustrated and feel like you’re BANGING YOUR HEAD AGAINST A WALL getting nowhere?

Speaking from my own experience: your mind and emotions ain’t quite right.

Which means your current mindset is, in all likelihood, your greatest liability.

But the good news is, you can turn it into your greatest asset with great rapidity…

IF you know which levers to pull.

One such lever is massively elevating positive emotions like faith, trust, and enthusiasm.

If you pull on that one lever alone, I’m telling you, you can turn a corner this very day.

You can lift yourself out of a personal “slump”. But you’ve got to generate sufficient positive emotional energy necessary to shift the momentum.

Or you can take an area that you’re already excelling in and use that very same lever…

to go to a whole new level.

You can surprise everyone, including yourself.

Here’s another lever to pull: do a refresh.

By a “refresh”, I mean take something that's static in your life and inject new life into it. Spruce it up a bit.

An example:

Instead of complaining that your house, your income level, or the players on your team are “too small”, change it up.

Take a room in your house and sell all the old furniture you hate looking at and get some new – or newer – stuff that fits the space better and makes it feel more spacious.

Or give yourself a $5,000-$10,000 raise next year by cutting out “stupid spending” (things like subscriptions you have to services you don’t even use anymore, but never think about either because they just get charged to your credit card every month).

Or work with the other coaches on your team to help the athletes already on your roster make gains in size and speed. Those little, incremental improvements in size, speed, and agility will yield more wins for your team (when combined with a little patience and commitment to the process).

Do you have any things in your life that feel stagnant – or "meh" – at the moment?

Then go forth and make what you already have something that feels brand new.
