Mental BodyYour mind wants to be the BOSS. It makes you keep thinking crappy stuff, it makes you obsess, worry, fear, be depressed, more thinking … and eventually!

!BURNOUT!

Mental Body• You need to tame your mind otherwise it will make you a slave

• How do you tame? By making it tired, by sweating it, by completely utilising it

• Set goals, make lists, come up with ideas, tire your mind and do this EVERYDAY

• Come up with ten business ideas

• Ten ways you can find more time for yourself

• Ten ways I can make money RIGHT NOW

Spiritual BodyDo not time travel.

Spiritual Body• What is time travelling?

• Obsessing on past regrets

• or about future anxieties

• These are memories and speculation. You CANNOT control these

• Do not time travel, live right now

Spiritual Body• Money Worries

• Relationship Fears

• Insecurities

• How will tomorrow be?

• Will I be judged because of yesterday?

• All of this doesn’t exist. It’s your mind pretending.

Spiritual Body• Most people think the word “Spiritual” means “God” or

“Religion”, that’s not true. It means to not time travel, to live in the present

• Pray - for a few seconds of the day just be thankful

• Meditate - try meditation for a few minutes everyday, it’s not that hard

• Being grateful - think of everyone in your life you are grateful for

• Forgiving - picture everyone who has done you wrong. Forgive them.

– James Altucher

“Its hard to do all of this every day. Nobody is perfect. I don’t know if I’ll do all of these things

today. But I know when I do it, it works.”
