Mental workout -
- Centering Breath: Breath in for 6 seconds, hold for 2, breath out for 7 seconds. (6-2-7) or (4-2-5)
- 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'm healthy strong confident. I improve my competance each day with 100% focus and intensity I am Devops/Gen AI Engineer and Leader"

--> 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] ) - 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.)
- Centering Breath: Take another deep breath just as you did in step 1

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.
TIPS
it is better to practice for a short time every day rather than once a week for a long period of time.
Make sure you record the date (including the year) at the top of each entry.
Then, note the practices you have done (or neglected!) each day. Also take time to reflect upon and write about any violation of yama and niyama, yoga’s ethical roots
“It is important to reflect about daily events and see how you would do something differently from how you did it last week,” writes Swami Radha in Time to Be Holy. “By putting daily events in your diary and reflecting on them, you ensure that you will continue to work. That continuation will ensure your growth.
“Even if you have failed in conquering your shortcomings for the fifth time, the tenth time, the twentieth time, you won’t know about your failures if you don’t put them down in your diary and examine them in your daily reflection.
Discipline means to regulate yourself on three levels: mind, action, and speech. Determine that from today you will begin to discipline yourself. It is a simple thing. Do not make big plans or too many rigid rules for yourself. Start with small things: ‘I will wake up at four-thirty.’ One simple rule. ‘After that, I will go to finish my ablutions and do my exercise. Exactly at five-thirty I will sit down in meditation.’ Discipline yourself. If you do not have the zeal, vigor, and determination to discipline yourself, you cannot follow the path. When you have decided something, you need determination to act according to your decision. If you lack determination, you will not be successful, even though you have decided. If you have decided that you will practice yoga, that decision must be supported by determination

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 (set timer)
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

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.
---------------------------------------------

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.

“A positive mental attitude is a must for all who wish to make life pay off on their own terms. Nothing great was ever achieved without a positive mental attitude.” –Napoleon Hill
To achieve a PMA, keep your mind on the things you want, in all areas of your life, and do not allow your mind to work against you and your goals by developing a habit of thinking about what you don’t want.
--------------------------
Positive Memories Exercise
Step 1. Ask yourself a question from the Recall List below.
Step 2. Recall such an experience and briefly run through it from beginning to end, as if
it were happening in the present. For example, "I'm running along the road and...".
Step 3 . Ask yourself the next question.
If you cannot recall an incident, or you get an unpleasant memory, leave that question
and go on to the next one.
Recall List
Recall a time when you enjoyed yourself.
Recall a time when you earned some money.
Recall a time when you heard some good music.
Recall a time when you mastered something.
Recall a time when you got something you wanted.
Recall a time when you enjoyed a cozy fire.
Recall a time when you rode a bicycle.
Recall a time when you played with an animal.
Recall a time when you rearranged furniture.
Recall a time when you really knew what you were talking about.
Recall a time when you gave a successful demonstration or talk.
18
Recall a time when you straightened out a messy environment.
Recall a time when you felt good about the way you looked.
Recall a time when you enjoyed talking with someone.
Recall a time when you were acknowledged for a job well done.
Recall a time when you kept a promise.
Recall a time when you held somebody close.
Recall a time when you enjoyed exercising.
Recall a time when you drew a picture.
Recall a time when you helped somebody.
Recall a time when you won.
Recall a time when you met someone you got on well with.
Recall a time when you had a good time dancing.
Recall a time when you felt important.
Recall a time when you were having a good holiday.
Recall a time when you achieved something worthwhile.
Recall a time when you were enjoying a long walk.
Recall a time when you enjoyed working in the garden.
Recall a time when you had a good idea.
Recall a time when you kissed somebody you liked.
Recall a time when you laughed at a joke.
Recall a time when you painted something.
Recall a time when you felt enthusiastic.
Recall a time when you were with a friend.
Recall a time when you stood your ground
Step 4. When you can recall pleasurable experiences without much difficulty, repeat the
above and look for earlier incidents of the same kind . That is, you ask:
Recall a time when ...
Recall an earlier time when ...
Recall the earliest time when ...
If you feel complete after several passes through the list, you may continue by
imagining an 'experience' in response to the questions - let your imagination run wild!
So instead of "Recall a time when... (e.g. you enjoyed yourself)," ask: "Imagine... (e.g.
enjoying yourself)." Imagine yourself experiencing this in the present.
This is a fun-exercise that really does make a difference to your outlook on life and
improves your self-esteem.
