4 Mental Exercises That Will Take You to the Next Level

You’re closer to the next level than you’ve ever been. These four mental exercises will help you get there faster.

1. Gratitude

Not just saying thank you, but feeling it. When your heart is grateful, it shows in your actions, because people can see the intention behind what you do.

A lot of people do the opposite: they ignore everything good someone has done and fixate on the one bad thing. They often end up alone and feeling low, because you receive what you put out.

Ask yourself each day: what do I have to be grateful for today? Some people didn’t wake up this morning. You did. Count your blessings instead of your lacks. The next level is all about appreciating what you already have.

2. Letting go

We hold on to thoughts, emotions, habits, objects and states of being that clearly aren’t working for us, and we keep practising them. The more we do, the deeper we sink and the faster the wheel spins.

Don’t fight an urge head-on; resistance makes it stronger. Change the channel instead. Every time you let go of something that no longer serves you, you make space for something better: new people, healthier relationships, a new partnership, new inspiration.

3. Meditation

Meditation is how you master letting go. Let each thought pass through you like a cloud, and let the feeling it brings pass too. With practice you learn which thoughts serve you, and you keep only those.

Without it, the mind stays chaotic: overthinking, shame, comparison. And comparison is one of the greatest joy thieves in the world. Everyone is unique; there’s no need for it.

4. Visualization

In the video I explain how visualization works like a muscle, why I use it to run this channel, why some visions take years to sprout (like bamboo), and why the visions worth training are the ones that build a better future for everyone, not just for yourself.
