One of the things that blocks our mind from focusing on the changes we need to make, is the feeling of helplessness accompanied by the thought that it’s not in our hands to affect the important things in our life’.
This feeling and this thought turn us into a victim of the circumstances instead of a leader of our own mind.
To help yourself avoiding this vicious cycle and activate you Q-mind do the following exercise:
Exercise:
Split a page into two sides by drowning a vertical line in the middle.
On the left side, write down all the ‘external factors’ in your life, the things you would not influence at all in your favor, even you were the best version of yourself!
On the right side write down all the things you could influence in your favor if you were the best version of yourself.
Every day for one week read the left list and decide to let go: this means that you decide to accept that this part of your life is just what it is, you decide not to judge it anymore and not to spend again more than two seconds thinking about them.
Every day in the second week, read the list on the right side and decide which elements of the list you will commit to change, no matter what the external circumstances will be.
