  1. Breathing – Most people don’t realize they breathe in a manner that promotes anxiety and/or compromised decision making. They take shallow thoracic breaths whereby air only reaches their upper chest. This limits the benefit of rich and deep oxygenation spreading through their entire body but especially their brain. This type of breathing promotes fight, flight or freeze behavior. For those who learned how to breathe for natural childbirth or through a Chronic Pain Program, they have probably learned that taking slow, deep diaphragmatic breaths whereby the belly is filled with air which will promote relaxation and facilitate more efficient and effective delivery of oxygen to the brain, promoting better decision making. This decision-making factor is what elevates man in the animal kingdom.
  2. Positivity – Grateful people are happy people, and those who aren’t, aren’t. Having a positive attitude, whether it comes naturally, or through discipline, a positive attitude enhances one’s wellbeing, plain and simple. It is foundational in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).

  3. Visualization – We must first win in our mind. Taking the time to focus or meditate on those things we seek to achieve or improve is essential to success. It enhances our intentionality.
  4. Micro Goal Setting – “The journey of a thousand steps started with the first step.” It is important to organize our big goals in small manageable units (SMU’s) which we can tackle a day at a time, a moment at a time, a breath at a time, an evolution at a time. This is a part of strategic planning. Wars are typically won with many small battle victories.
