Eliminating Possibilities Is a Good Idea

Because in your business, you’re making hundreds of decisions regularly while navigating thousands of inputs—many of which are constantly changing.

So many possibilities.

Not to mention all the thoughts, evolving mindsets, and mental chatter adding even more input.

Sometimes good. Sometimes not so good.

And all those possibilities make decision-making even more tenuous.

What’s to be done?

(3 things.)

1. Tangibly eliminate possibilities.

Use the 80/20 Rule. Get rid of the 80% of the thinking and doing that bring only 20% (or less) of the results you want.

2. Watch out for habits.

Because so many of your decisions, in business and in life, come from habit. Habits minimize the need to think because the neural pathways are deep and direct.

3. Downshift your thinking.

How?

(Do all of these.)

1. In the moment, smile, and take a few deep, relaxing breaths.

• Let your body relax on the inhale and the exhale.

• This smiling and breathing combo helps you let go of habitual thinking and emotional noise. You’re letting go of what’s in the way. You’re eliminating distracting possibilities.

• Smiling and breathing open the space for intuition: the space where you simply know what decisions to make. Period.

(Again, you’re eliminating possibilities.)

2. Beyond the moment, practice smiling and breathing as a one-minute meditation each day. (Yes, you can sit in a chair.)

3. This smiling-and-breathing practice is also fantastic while driving. (Traffic will never be the same again.)

Remember: success, in business and in life, comes from eliminating possibilities.

There’s only so much you can do with your brain and your time.

So do the right stuff, the joyous stuff, the impactful stuff that will help you have the business, freedom, and life you want.

Keep opening the space for intuition and insight, by smiling, breathing, relaxing…

… and letting things go.

Then the right possibilities become the realities that rock your world.
