Mental rest break

Mental rest break.

Just a one day break from focused, creative thinking and crafting today’s five daily, differently-themed posts.

That’s all i need today.

Why?

New year, for starters.

New season in life.

What?

Intentionally preparing – designing so to speak – for life’s sunset.

Approaching it with entrepreneurial spirit.

Entrepreneurial spirit, when all in, is consuming. Like physical rest, creative, artful, impactful mental thinking needs rest too.

Favorite favorites, mind

Favorite favorites?

The idea to think about and curate my lifetime favorites popped into my head yesterday.

Just from thinking random thoughts in the present moments.

Why?

Probably to leave behind only the most special, memorable, or remarkable things that seem valuable to me and hopefully will be valuable to our son and wife.

Kinda similar to the way we want to pass on certain possessions that we value. Keepsakes. Heirlooms. Mementos.

Most agree that ‘stuff’ has a shelf life and that one person’s treasure may not be treasure to another.

Today’s posts are me putting pen to paper and capturing this idea.

The invisible DNA of this thought-thread from yesterday…

As we prepare to die, and we think about all the things we have and how much will be useless to whomever we think we’re going to leave it to.

Mental motivation

Mental motivation.

The seven summits, mind

  1. Observing
  2. Thinking
  3. Learning
  4. Mindset
  5. Reflection
  6. Behaviors
  7. Motivation

Motivation is the most important.

Mental goals

Mental goals.

Mental vibrancy demands a high lifetime standard.

Excellent goals.

High mental standards.

For an entire lifetime.

Why?

Personal vibrancy.

Repetition is as repetition does.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

Mental learning

The goal of learning isn’t learning, it’s action.

Action.

We would die without learning, and taking appropriate action.

Learning about growth-mindset is great but only when mental vibrancy habits are created for life.

From the learning, action.

From the action, habits.

Learning without application is worthless.

Note: Learning and intentionally not doing something is action. When learning gives good warning — inaction is the best action.

Humanity became civilized because we learned to learn, then act. And we learned what not acting fosters.

Repetition is the mother of all learning. Mind, body, spirit, work, and home. Never get bored with the basics. Never get bored with critical redundancy.
