Weekly Word: 7 Traits of a Highly Effective Mindset

I came across the following graphic, 7 Traits of a Highly Effective Mindset, on the instagram account of one of my new favorite bloggers, Twelveskip. The content comes from Marc Chernoff who, along with his wife run Marcandangel.com, a site chock full of “practical tips for productive living.”

7 Traits of a Highly Effective Mindset

Every now and then I get caught up in the million things I need to *do* and the multitudinous tasks that need to be *accomplished*. Last night I woke up at 3AM with my face, yet again, in my laptop. It’s at times like these where I’ve learned to pull back slightly and feed my soul with messages that will strengthen me and help shed some light on my personal resource management. This particular graphic couldn’t have come at a better time.

The first trait, enjoying and appreciating the present moment has been missing in my life as I turn automaton-like from one task to another–whether it’s writing my books, being supermom, or handling business matters. As I read that first trait, I made an important realization: during the past six months I had barely taken any time out to enjoy the present moment and its accomplishments. I forgot the most important step along my personal road to success–stop and appreciate all of my daily accomplishments before turning o the next task. It’s important to me that I pat myself on the back, and revel in how my accomplishments benefit my family and others around me, even if it’s just for a little while. Checking in with myself this way keeps me grateful, grounded in the present and happy.

I’m so grateful to have discovered this terrific graphic. Not only will I share it with everybody I know, I will definitely be mining Marc and Angel’s site for all the stuff I can get my eyes on! Thanks again, Twelveskip!
