Achieve Painless Success with One Word:
Good morning, folks! I am Jin with Morning Mindfulness Podcast. Hope you’re having a terrific day! Let’s breathe and smile.
As I am working on my Stress Reduction online course, I thought of one skill I acquired as a kid. Perhaps that skill helped me to be straight “A” student at school. Or maybe because of that skill I stuck with Martial Arts, Taoist Yoga and Qigong for over 30 years. No, no, I am not the sharpest knife in the draw, trust me. But I developed this ability to say what I think is one of the most important words in my life. I will teach you that right now. The word is “NO”. Simple, right?
I learned to say NO to anything that did not fit my plan of actions. I was saying NO to any distractions when I needed to study or go to my daily 3-hour training. I was saying NO when my friends tried to convince me to go to the party or to drink alcohol with them. I simply had my goals and I’d say NO to anything else.
I am not saying be like me, that’s my story. Besides I broke my rules a couple of times in life, that’s another huge topic. I paid my price, all right.
What I’m saying, if you and I want to achieve any success in life, we need to to learn saying NO to anything that does not benefit our goals. Here’s a sad news: it was much easier to do 30 years ago without internet and cell phones than it is today. I get it. That’s why I have to take my skill of saying NO to a completely new level.
I will be teaching and physically demonstrating this during my workshop at Sumits Yoga in North Scottsdale, AZ. So come by!
