i Statement Examples- Your words have power

Every I statement you make in your life has meaning and future consequences. Why? Your words have so much power. Some I statement examples are:

I am beautiful.

I cannot do this.

I am dumb.

I am not qualified.

I am intelligent.

This morning my mantra was “Jay regardless of what your current situation or obstacle looks like, you can and will overcome it.” I believe that I am a conquer.

I tell myself things like this on a regular basis as reminder of what I have and can accomplish. I learned through a friend of mine that everything I place an “i” in front of is a construction for my life.

Your words are constructing everything that you are, everything that you do. So be extremely careful in what you are telling yourself because you just may believe it.

Health Benefits of Getting Enough Sleep- Minutes with Jay

There are many health benefits of getting enough sleep. I hinted on how sleep can help you as well as tips on increasing happiness in my last post, you can check it here.

At different levels of sleep you will get different benefits. In the first level not much really happen besides eye twitching.

In the second level, your blood pressure drops and your heart rests which helps the cardiovascular system.

Later on you get the benefits of growth hormones being released and muscles being rebuilt. That means that if you are trying to get bigger biceps, traps, chesticles (aka chest muscles)…you gotta sleep. Also, for my ladies that are trying to lose weight or get cut, this is important for you too!

While we are on the subject of weight, sleep regulates your appetite. Ever stayed up too late and wanted to eat the house down or didn’t feel hungry at your normal time skipping breakfast maybe even lunch? This is due to a hiccup in your sleeping pattern.

Just something to think about!

Increasing Your Happiness- 2 Easy Ways- Minutes with Jay

Increasing your happiness does not have to be hard. There are easy ways to gain more energy and just be overall happier.

One way is through real meditation. I get into the definition on this in my video. I am not talking about sitting in a room humming for hours on end or chanting weird tribal bird sounds with a group of strangers.

The second way is to get more sleep. Sleep repairs a lot of what you lose or give out during the day.

These are actionable, down to earth ways. If you haven’t watched the video, go for it! The video talks about these aspects in a little more detail.

Also, stayed tuned for my video tomorrow for even more benefits of sleep on your health.

Learning through problems

Learning through problems is a tough assignment. Many situations we encounter help to sidetrack us from purpose.

Sometimes we just don’t understand our situations or feel that somehow this is only happening to us. BUT a lack of understanding should not stop your progress or growth.

Consider that whatever you are facing is making and will make you stronger. Cliche? Yes. Truth? Oh yea. Just like weights, the heavier your problems get, the stronger you become.

That strength will allow you to eventually pick up more/do more/help lift someone else up….if you let it.

You cannot be a resource to anyone if you are not strong yourself. There is so much we can learn from what happens to us.

Stay tuned for my post tomorrow that will discuss what we can actually learn. I’m thinking I will cover 3 or more points about the purpose of problems.

Thinking your way better life- Better Pay

Thinking your way to a better life and better pay is possible.

I assume that if you are reading this that you are a human being (I hope so) and this gives you an advantage.

The advantage is to rationalize and create new ideas. Animals have to rely on instinct to survive and will never be anything more than what they currently are.

You on the other hand can develop and change your situation. Use the free resources that are at your fingertips to get moving.

Go to the library if nothing else for Pete’s sake and pick up a few books on whatever area you are trying to improve.

Just last night, I popped into the library and snagged a copy of The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham.

Why?

Because I want to learn more on investment strategy and this book comes recommended by Warren Buffett. Buffett is possibly the greatest investor of all time!

It was a no brainer. Getting the knowledge is free.

There are no excuses to have less than what you want.

What resources can you make use of right away?

How to get/use inspiration

How to get/use inspiration? Look no further than the geniuses that came before.

Follow the breadcrumbs of others and improve their design. Make it your own.

This happens all the time in the tech field. Remember flip phones? We are FARRR from that now. FaceTime, email, internet. I can even edit my videos from my phone.

If it wasn’t for the flip phone there wouldn’t be the IPhone. Without the brick phone we would have never seen the flip phone. Each generation building, inspired by the last invention.

Where are the breadcrumbs leading you? Also, for a related post on how we need each other to be successful click here.

Helping others succeed creates your own success- One Minute with Jay

Help others succeed if you want to get something out of the deal. This may seem selfish. But when you really think about it….it isn’t selfish at all.

We are all co-dependent on each other to survive.

Teams are created to ensure the survival of an idea or mission. That’s why businesses have so many execs, managers, supervisors, secretaries etc. A team is necessary.

And we all want to win in some shape or form. So if you can help someone else win you can become a winner.

Think about business again as the perfect example. The businesses that thrive are the ones that provide the most value.
Value is given, we pay cash, and the business increases revenue.

If you want success provide more value to more people.

How can you provide value? Leave a comment below and let me know.

When are you considered wealthy? What is true wealth?

Wealth goes beyond what you have in your pocket. If you are wealthy from a holistic perspective then your entire person is prosperous.
