For me building a resilient mindset is doing or starting that 1 thing that you don't want to do. That one thing that has been coming back up your mind that you wish you had the will power to accomplish. Maybe were focusing to much on how bad its going to suck in the beginning. For me this is "easier" if I break it down into small steps. What can I do today do move me in the direction I want to go? So today I did not want to record at all. Lying in bed and chilling sounded so much better. But I knew I would feel so good after I just pushed record. Starting is the hardest damn thing for me.....but once I get moving I feel like a super human. Have a blessed day family. Support the show (https://paypal.me/Jeff41Gonzell?locale.x=en_US)
