Some of the insights shared in this week’s Vzine…

This week has been a bit disappointing. I haven’t had the reaction I wanted to the whole sequence I’d set up, inviting people to join my membership site. It’s been a slow, steady trickle rather than a flood, which I would have liked. When you consider I’ve got a mailing list of three and a half thousand people, you could have expected a little bit better of a conversion.

I expected a bit better of a conversion, my thoughts expected a bit better of a conversion. When there’s the steady trickle only I felt disappointed, which then dictates how I act, which is not pushing ahead and doing as much as I would have liked to.

I had a good conversation with Judith, on the podcast. She coached me live on episode 120, I think it was. She talked about if thoughts become things you’ve got to think good ones, because if your thoughts release chemicals in your brain that dictate how your feelings work, how you feel and if your feelings dictate what you actually do and what you can achieve and what you take action on it stands to reason that you’ve got to keep your thoughts under control.

As I say easier said than done, but well worth working on.

Some of things I use are journaling. I basically write every day in my journal. That’s something that’s got to be done away from the computer I think, because it gives your brain time to process what you’re writing at the same time, whereas if you type at 70 words a minute as I do it doesn’t give your brain time to process anything. Yeah.

Journaling very good, talking to friends is also very good, having a mentor, or a coach, or someone who you can run ideas past…
