Alters: How to become WHO you need

Each of us has our drivers (or alternate voices)–internal judgements that guide our behavior.

For most people, these voices are weak and can easily be ignored or shut off.

For ultra successful artists, entrepreneurs, athletes, etc. these Alters gain a life of their own, being channeled and brought out for specific activities.

Mike Tyson had “Iron Mike”

Beyonce “Sasha Fierce”

You might think of this as role play, or make believe, but the truth is it’s easier to build up and believe in someone else than ourselves— and our minds are good at it.

If you aren’t strong enough, if you aren’t enough for the task at hand, bring out your Alter and let them fight for you.

Forming a relationship with this energy can only help you, there’s a reason you can hear the voice— try to grant it what it wants, safely and productively.

The Game of Momentum: Why your goals should be smaller

It only takes a little to change a lot.

Looking at my life, it’s weird to see that the biggest life altering results came from incredibly small adjustments. Starting a blog led to a new career as a copywriter, training in muay thai led to a new social life, confidence, passion, and improved focus. Listening to one 30 minute video on keeping a positive mindset each morning– would lead to me performing better in my role and embracing life’s challenges.

I used to “All-or-Nothing” my life… and that’s why nothing always happened.

Life is the sum total of these little moments. It’s a game of momentum.

If you crave change, start as SMALL as possible. Instead of wondering what you’ll do? Where you’ll go, or what’s the next BIG thing for you… ask yourself, what tiny thing can I do today to move in that direction?

And JUST do that, don’t concern yourself with anything else. If you don’t know the answer or what you need to do– JUST PICK. You don’t have to love it, just be interested enough to learn.

Want to lose weight? Don’t even focus on training, cut out snacks or walk for an extra 5 minutes.

Want to find a new career? Hold off on quitting entirely, and find a small and easy hobby you can do in your free time.

The answer is always small… that’s why we initially miss it. You’re looking for lightning to strike, for what? All you need is a tiny baby step towards something… you don’t even have to know what it is. That’s the best part about this law.

When I started my blog, it wasn’t this site by the way– I had no intention of becoming a writer, I didn’t have a clue where it would lead.

I did it just to stick to something, and it had HUGE results.

That’s all any of us need to do. We just need small things incorporated into our daily lives and without fail, they will change.

If you’re stuck, lost, or unsure of yourself, before you deem yourself hopeless– ADD one small thing (something new) to your daily ritual for 30 days.

See where it leads, infallibly so, it will lead you somewhere…
