Today's mindset thought for the day
Comparison with others is useless. Doing this leads to jealousy, envy, greed, competition, and even hatred.

Comparison with our best, or higher self, opens the door to true advancement and healing and positions us on the road to success. Improving our personal attributes and characteristics little by little, we then incrementally climb upwards to become our higher self.
We can begin in small ways. Simple things can and do make a profound difference. Ten behaviors to consider for self-advancement are:

1. Talk less, listen more.
2. Watch less visual media, read more.
3. Sit less, move more.
4. Eat less processed foods. Enjoy more whole fruits and vegetables.
5. Condemn less, praise more.
6. Think fewer negative thoughts by intentionally replacing negative thoughts with positive ones (even if they are made up!)
7. Stay indoors less, go outdoors more.
8. Spend less time alone, more time with people.
9. Schedule focused daily meditation, less shotgun thinking time with scattered, unproductive thoughts.
10. Stop ignoring self for others, and replace with scheduled self-care.

All these items are simple, yet they have profound results.

By focusing on just a little less of what you do that makes you anxious, nervous, stressed, or even overwhelmed, you can begin to adjust your internal controls to ease up on yourself and thereby everyone else. A little goes a long way, and when we perform a little better in each category daily, we can begin to see true advancement in our character overall. Less truly becomes more when we accentuate the positive things in our life that we can control, and eliminate everything else that we allow to enter into our environment.

Strive daily to be your own best self, and soon you will see a profound difference in who you have become. ~ Judy Williamson, Napolean Hill Foundation

It's true that when I focus on what I can do and do it, good things happen. I am more confident, tend to have more positive thoughts, and I have clarity about myself and the work I am doing. Which in turn brings great work to my clients and they receive great results and outcomes from their efforts.

I can check off 6 on the list as things I do regularly. Which means I'm going to take a closer look at the other 4 and schedule them into my day.
