Think Like a Monk Book Review…How to stay positive

This week on the Balanced Warrior Podcast, we again have all three coaches, Chris, Paul, and Mike, as they discuss the book, “Think Like a Monk” by Jay Shetty.  Mike had read the book and, because of what Balanced Warrior stands for, felt it was perfectly aligned with the Balanced Warrior philosophy.  While the book touches on many topics that have been discussed before, today’s topic was how to stay positive when things aren’t going the way you wish.  How do you stay positive in the face of adversity?  All three coaches share their personal stories, experiences, and anecdotes, making this episode one to tune into.  So grab your pen and paper, and get ready to jot down some value bombs that will surely keep you positive when things are not going your way.  Some key takeaways are…

• Have a set morning routine and get your mind in a positive state
• Put things into perspective when things are difficult
• Care less about the things you can’t control and more about the things you can
• Use the statement, “Not Today!” when dark thoughts occupy your mind
• Spot, Stop, and Swap negativity
• Ask yourself, “What’s the positive
• Focus on Progress, not perfection
• Time heals all wounds, and the pain you experience is only temporary
