Self Help

20 minutes into my morning ritual of listening to my favorite podcast (Body and the Beast).

Dan Meredith – the beast, mentioned something that really rang home! “The only thing you fully control is the 6 inches between your ears”.

This really made me think.
One of the key things I try to improve constantly is removing factors that don’t benefit either my life, my mindset or my business.

I deliberately do not listen to the radio, I never watch the news and I rarely read an online newspaper – I was born in the early nineties I have never read an actual newspaper!

Call it as you will, some will say that it opens your eyes and teaches etc etc. In my opinion it distracts, distorts and destroys the 6 inches between our ears.

Modern day media is forced upon you and 90% of “news” nowadays is what the latest celebrity is up to or government corruption etc. Neither of which have any baring on the majority of your life.

One of the key messages I took away from the first podcasts I listened to was “Feed your mind however necessary to you”.

I absolutely love podcasts, audiobooks and even reading now, “now” being the key phrase. At school when It was forced on you to read some drivelly novel (apologies any Shakespeare fans reading 😂) You resented reading.

10 years on I now enjoy it because I read articles, books I enjoy.

Things that ignite my brain and invoke emotion. I only read self help, mindset, entrepreneurship/business and marketing content now.

Only things that will expand my;
Knowledge – self help/ mindset.
Reduce any technical gaps – Marketing Educate further on my talents. – Business/Accounting/Entreprenurship.

You can however increase your knowledge base in many other ways. Videos, webinars, lectures, seminars.

Pick a way that works for you and stick to it. There is no right or wrong way to learn.

So treasure the 6 inches between your ears, feed content that adds value to your life.
Remove time consuming rituals that all but distract you from your goals.

Use that space to create a legacy!
