Personal Development - Productivity


Self Confidence - 

Mental workout - 

  1. Centering Breath: Breath in for 6 seconds, hold for 2, breath out for 7 seconds. (6-2-7) or (4-2-5)
  2. Identity Statement: Repeat in your head your identity statement (this is very much like a personal mantra). Come up with 2-3 sentences that describe exactly what and who you want to be—make certain to say it as if it has already occurred. For example my identity statement is, “I out work the competition everyday, I am the most effective performance coach in the country. I experience true love as a husband and father”. 

    I don't waste time. I am hardworking person. I am skilled GenAI Devops Engineer and leader
    I'm confident healthy strong. I improve my competance with 100% focus and intensity I am the most skilled Devops/Gen AI Engineer and Leader"

    I'm confident happy focused. I improve my competance (skills) everyday I am the most skilled Devops/Gen AI Engineer and leader

  3. Personal Highlight Reel (Vision and Integrity): Take 60 seconds total to visualize success. 
    --> In the first 30 seconds create a visual of how you want your life to be 5 years from now. Be specific and include the most important personal and professional aspects. (earning 30 L /yr, highly skilled, work life balance, taking care of two kids and family well)
    --> Then take another 30 seconds to visualize how you want your upcoming day to go. See a few important successes that will propel you to be on track for exactly where you want to be in 5 years. (working well with focus and intensity, without wasting time [in entertainment, facebook,youtube] )
  4. Identity Statement: Repeat to yourself your personal mantra (same as step 2). (I am focused and capable. I am the most skilled devops engineer and leader.)
  5. Centering Breath: Take another deep breath just as you did in step 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------     

Self Image -  Create Identity Statement (Example: I am confident I am healthy and I am strong. I am the most skilled devops engineer and leader)

Positive Self talk -  Every people is different . We may come across different kinds of people some complicate things, some  angry, some arrogant, some childish, some silly, I won't get affected by their words or actions 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use my time well

I use my time to improve my skills

I use my time to become better


1. 1-10 how well are you using your time

2. 1-10 how well are you taking effort on improving ur skills

3. 1-10 how much parents believe you and small guys respect you

Think of goal or wish

--> need to earn 30 l / per year (or)  using the time well

Think of goal or wish with more details

--> need to earn 30 lakh per year,  utilizing the time well doing productive/responsible work , improving skills 

Think of goal or wish as already happened

--> I am happy now,  i earn 30 Lakh  / year

 that without wasting (distraction or entertainment) i am using the time well

How to utilize the Miracle of Mind magic  . . .

Select the secret mental power which you desire most right now and reread and repractice it. Select two or three if you can't decide on one. (Reread any of the others whenever you need them.) When you practice any of them, be keenly aware of how it alters your physiological language.

You will feel like a person who could easily achieve your goal, dream, or wish. Always imagine yourself as becoming him (or her) and then note exactly how you feel! Imitate everything about them when you do, so you no longer feel like yourself, but wholly like him or her! That's when you will think like them, when your physiological language will speak like his or hers, and when the particular secret mental power which they would use to achieve a goal, dream, or wish like yours will become yours, too!

You will then possess the miracle of mind magic!

----------------------------------

Who are you

what do you want to be 

What could you do about it

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to physical skills, mental practice can probably also be used to help train your emotional responses. Have you ever had a bad encounter while working, got angry, and said something that you later regretted? Take a moment to recreate that moment in your head. In real time, recreate the conversation. Now feel the physical changes that accompany your anger. Are your muscles tight? Your heart racing? Try to experience everything about the scene, right down to the smells in the room. Now that you can recognize the anger developing, picture yourself responding as you wish you had acted rather than as you actually did. Envision yourself taking a few deep breaths. Try to see things from the other side. Is this person really a jerk, or are they just scared or tired or struggling with their divorce? Envision yourself pausing to breath and think before you respond. If you mentally rehearse both the sensations of anger and your planned response, you are much more likely to recognize when you are becoming angry, and respond in a way that that fits with your professional ideals.

-----------------------------------v

Productivity requires skill, strategy, and focused effort.

If you’re working with those three essential elements together, consistently, you’re maximizing your productivity. It’s like a recipe for creating exactly what you want to create and doing it with excellence.

So ask yourself, “Am I working with skill, strategy, and focused effort on a consistent basis?”

If you’re answer is no, then evaluate the areas where you need the most help and start finding some new ways of doing business.

=============================================

By disciplining yourself to concentrate single-mindedly on the most important thing you could possibly be doing, and then by completing that task, you increase the quantity, quality and value of your output substantially. You can have all the talent and skill in the world. But if you cannot discipline yourself single-mindedly to complete your most important task, you will always have to work for someone else. You will always have to be supervised by someone who can make sure that you do what you should do, when you should do it. The good news is that, every time you complete a major task, you experience a surge of energy, enthusiasm and self-esteem. You feel terrific about yourself. You feel happy and elated. You feel like a winner. The more important the task, and the more disciplined you are in completing the task, the better you feel about yourself when you have finished.

--------------------------------------

Health -> Appearance (good looking) -> Our Confidence increases with good dressing and fitness

Focus -> If we do Productive Work ->  Our Confidence increases as we gain experience with work

Knowledge ->  Daily Learning -> We get Confidence if we continuously gain knowledge

Training -> Daily Practice -> More practice, more we become skillful we get more Confidence

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



------------------------------------------------------------

Knowledge and Practice  = Self Condidence = 

Focus - Dedication - Workhard = Success

Not to do :

Negative Self talk, Over Compliment others, 

 Lowering Your Standards, 

Comparing Yourself to Others

---------------------------------------------

Time Mgmt

1. Plan the day before (write it down) 3 Most Important 1 Must

2.  Take 10 min of your time to declutter the workspace

3. When - Then Technique (When you have 5-10 min practice a sysops practice question)

----------------------------------------

Victim mindset questions begin with “why.” When we ask a victim question, get a victim answer. For example, “Why does this person treat me this way?” “Because you are this and this.” Or “Why am I unable to do this?” “Because of this and this.” A victim question will give you an excuse as your answer 👎

Victor questions begin with “how” and "who" or “what!” Ask a victor question, get the answer that sets you free ✨

Whats ONE Thing you can do or do differently to make this better

Instead of Yelling “I Deserve Better,” Say “I Can Be Better”

----------------------------------------------------

Don't beat yourself, Don't self critisize

its okay to be emotional

its okay to not know everything

its okay to fail

-------------------------------------------------

Growth Mindset

Daily Self Reflection Quesitons

RSF - Solution Focus

“Talking about your problems will lead to more problems, not solutions. If you want solutions, start thinking and talking about your solutions”. 

The number one reason mental toughness is so difficult is the tendency to become problem-centric thoughts (PCT). PCT is the exact opposite of Relentless Solution Focused (RSF). RSF is rare as most people are PCTs. It is more natural to think and focus on mistakes, the past, barriers, and what we don’t have instead of what we do have. It’s easier to think about problems such as not having enough money, success, not fast enough, strong enough, etc., than to acknowledge good fortune and abundance. 

What does it really mean to be solution focused? Being solution focused means keeping your thoughts centered on what you want from life and what it takes to achieve what you want, as opposed to allowing thoughts of self-doubt and concern to occupy the mind. The difference between a solution focus and a relentless solution focus is how often you commit to replacing negative thinking with solutions. 

Many sports psychologists feel that most people achieve solution-focused thoughts about 40% of the time. Individuals with a relentless solution focus replace 100% of undesirable thinking with thoughts emphasizing solutions. 

Got a challenge in your life, on the field, in the classroom? ALWAYS have a solution on the board. Ask yourself “What is the one thing I can do that could make this better?” One thing! Not 72 or 483. Just one thing! 

Don’t allow yourself to say “I don’t know what to do”. Come up with an answer to that question. It doesn’t have to be perfect – just one thing that moves you in the right direction.

---------------------------------------------

The mentally strong person will never give up their dreams irrespective of what situation they are facing The emotionally strong person will able to control their emotions and they could able to adapt to the situation and adjust to the situation and they make the situation to accomplish their task.

-----------------------------

Set Goals Developing attainable goals is critical for managing your mental toughness. When you are writing your mission statement, make sure that you are considering what your goals are. But while setting goals is easy, achieving them can be a very different story. The most important question to ask before setting any goal is “Why?” Specifically, why is this goal vital to me? When there is a clear connection with your why, the how will follow. Your why is the emotional connection or the bond that you form with your goal. Setting goals will also make you mentally tough

There is an old saying that states, “Be prepared for the worst. Plan for the best.” When the possibility of trouble arises, allow yourself 60 seconds to think through the worst that could happen. Take another 60 seconds to figure out what you will do to get through the worst if it occurs. After doing so, realize you are prepared.

Now the trick becomes to focus on how you want things to go. Force all thoughts moving forward onto the potential positive outcome and result. If trouble shows up, you will deal with it; otherwise, enjoy life’s blessings.
