CRACKING THE FEAR CODE

The first step to gaining more confidence and getting some momentum in your life is understanding your FEAR. Learn the 4 big fears that hold most people back and how to overcome them so you can move forward with confidence! 1. Fear of Rejection: If you try to please everybody at the cost of your own health, wealth, joy, and confidence in life, you have rejection issues. If you know that human belonging and acceptance are so important to you, but right now you're focused on rejection, then you can flip it and say, "What would I have to do to gain the next level of love, connection, belonging, or validation?" 2. Fear of Ruin: This is the fear of the complete and utter irreversibility of a negative consequence.

THE REAL SECRET TO GETTING IN THE ZONE

Try to recall those days when you did phenomenally well, those moments in your lives where you unexpectedly crossed great limits. In those moments, you are just intensely focused without consciously thinking, no distraction bothers you, it feels as if time slows down and you are completely immersed in the task. This optimal state of mind is scientifically called the 'flow' state of mind or what we call in the sports world as being "in the zone". Flow state is this beautiful space where we completely surrender to the art and allow the energy to flow through us. Psychologically, your brain vibrates at a different frequency than usual at this state. Some examples can be when rappers freestyle or those unbelievable performances in sports. This state is most frequently observed in action-adventure risk-oriented sports such as mountain climbing and skiing where it is a matter of life and death because, in such activities, the situation is flow-or-die. It is a myth that tapp

THIS BLOG WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU APPROACH THE HABIT OF BINGE-WATCHING

There's no better feeling on this planet than spending a lazy weekend slouching on your couch, wrapping yourself under the soft blanket, with a cup of coffee in your hand, binge-watching your favorite Netflix series. Our mood is against grinding and our mind just wants to be lazy. Especially during these uncertain times of the pandemic, it just seems the best thing to do. But there are ways you can work on improving yourself by just binge-watching on that cold Saturday morning.

WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK?

Whether we accept it or not, we all have felt insecure at some point in our lives. Each one of us has felt those subtle pokes inside ourselves when we face criticism. All those rare and impactful people we meet in our lives know the value of originality and are aware of the inexistence of perfectionism. Those people don't try to alter their personalities to receive social validation and instead just be themselves. The embarrassment comes from trying to change the way other beings perceive you. Fear of criticism is one of the biggest obstacles holding people back from reaching their true potential in life as mentioned in the great book "Think and Grow Rich". No matter how slim you get, no matter how smart you get, no matter how attractive you look, there's always going to be someone willing to criticize you and pull you down. When people criticize others, they try to put their insecurities on the other person. They feel a sense of superiority when they make others fe

HOW TO GET THE WORK DONE WHEN YOU DON'T "FEEL LIKE IT"

We all have those days when we just don't feel it. Even though we may absolutely be passionate and truly in love with our craft, there are times we feel unmotivated to get the work done. No matter how obsessed with your craft you are, every single being on this planet experiences such moments. And this type of burnout feelings that we face are totally normal and common. But the difference between ONE OF THE BEST and just THE BEST is the willpower to show up even on the days when you don't feel like it. It's easy to grind when you are all pumped up and motivated but what separates the greats from the average is their ability to push through boredom and the moments when they "don't feel like it ". No, I don't mean to say that you should be working hard 365 days of the year. Taking breaks and time away from the work has its own place and is totally needed sometimes to refuel the energy. I'm referring to the tiny hinges we feel on certain days about demo
