Constantly I am reminded of the power of the mind and the importance of putting your mind in the “best” place.
It’s not just about getting your mind out of a “bad” place, but to make your life better and better.
Much, if not all, of what we think and feel is habitual, so the more we choose to focus on good things, the more habitually our mind elevates.
While we all know this intuitively, it helps to have reminders.
Back To The Future
Last week I was back in Vail, Colorado.
After living in the mountains for a few ski seasons I hadn’t been back for a couple of years, and last week I got to relive some of my best memories from Vail.
Some of them of course relate to skiing, but most of my great memories come back to the joy of living in the mountains. Waking up to the snow. Looking out on the mountain. Wandering through town. Eating at my favorite restaurants. Hanging with the locals. My time with friends who came to stay with me.
Just being in Vail these memories came flooding back to me and I realized that I want to keep reliving them.
A Daily Practice
If you’ve read my Limitless Mind book or these newsletters you’ve seen me talk about running mental movies.
In re-watching mental movies of the greatest times in your life, not only do you get a chance to keep reliving these times, but you can also use these movies to “pull” state.
