What does your future look like? . Are you on the up or the down curve? . Every little thing you do matters. No seriously, it’s the slight edge. The little things add up and create a tipping point, so focus on the small things you are doing each day. Make them count. . 10 pages of a book. 10 sit-ups. 10 messages. . These things add up. None vs nine. Small numbers but one could make a shift in your life. The other. Well, nothing comes from nothing. . Look to the future by acting in the present. . All we have is NOW and it makes a world of difference to everything. . Your choices are everything. . What are you choosing? What are you creating? What are you doing today? . Decide and do. . I know you can do anything. . 📸 @rowan_emmett . . . . . #successfulmindset #choosewisely #theslightedge #happinessisaninsidejob #createyourhappy #timeisnow (at Aphrodite's Rock, Cyprus) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_LCh5j-jP/?igshid=tshptoagjke3

Mind: The Slight Edge/5 Minute Journal

I’ve mentioned both the book The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson and the mindfulness app 5 Minute Journal a few times, so here’s a quick “why” on checking both of these things out.

The Slight Edge

I read The Slight Edge through a book club at work. I went in skeptical. I am not a “self help” book person and would rather read Daniel Pink or Malcom Gladwell style books for motivation.

The Slight Edge is pretty straight forward. It’s a simple read that I breezed through; which is saying something. It was my first book of the year, and the probably the first actual book that I’ve purposefully read in a few years. 

So - why do I recommend it? Because it’s simple and straight forward. It lays bare some of the things that have gotten between me and some of the successes that I want to have. 

The book summed up (and I suggest you actually do read it) repeatedly reminds us that the small things count. More so - that when you do those small things over and over again, the become actual results. Stop looking for immediate gratification. 

I did have some issues with it of course. The notion of “anyone can do anything, just do this simple thing” is nice, but he doesn’t not factor in things like race, sex, or other socio-economic factors that might hinder an individual. While doing the simple thing could get that person from 0-100, to completely ignore predetermined factors like those is quite the omission in my opinion.

5 Minute Journal

One of the things that stuck out to me in The Slight Edge was a section on being happy. I’m generally a pretty positive person across the board, but he applies the Slight Edge principals of continually doing small things over-and-over again to get to a result to your emotional health as well.

Part of it was the suggestion of keeping a journal. But not a “Dear Diary, here’s what happened today” style journal. Instead he suggests doing something as simple as what the 5 Minute Journal App does. 

In the morning - write 3 things you’re grateful for, 3 intentions of the day, and a personal affirmation. In the evening 3 great things that happened during the day, and 1 thing that could have made it better.

I loved the idea of doing something is better than doing nothing at all. You might not have the drive to write pages of self reflection day-after-day, but there’s a good possibility that you have the drive to spend 5 minutes a day answering 3-6 questions.

You can pick up The Slight Edge on Amazon here.

Hello to the new boss. . . But what does it take to be a #leader in your own life? I find myself in positions of #leadership as it feels like the most natural place to be. Yet, through my studies, I have learned that there are skills which must be refined to be considered an excellent leader. . . I strive for #excellence in my life, so I have been digging deep into this process of #transformation over the past two years. It started before then, because #selfreflection and #change have been part of my life since I can remember. But now I have an outline for the type of "Natasha" I envision in my life, and I have taken complete #responsibility for the #progress and outcome. . . Being a leader in my life takes more than big talk and fun Instagram posts. It takes minute-by-minute, day-by-day, year-by-year WORK. And the clock never stops ticking on that project. What I've also learned is that incremental and small shifts over a longer period of time make the biggest difference. . . In this space of better #selfmanagement as the path towards true leadership, I have taken charge of understanding more about my health struggles and educating myself about how to best manage my #chronicillnesses. It is not something I can complain about or, alternatively, hide from anymore. I must own it in order to have a chance to fully heal, which I hold as a #possibility for myself always. . . I keep coming back to #thealchemist and how difficult it was the immediate several nights before he was about to reach his goal. I have been inside of that space for years it seems... Before I started #gradschool, mostly all I saw was the darkness. I kept hoping for light. Now I KNOW that there is light... because I AM BECOMING THE LIGHT. . . The process is taking me as long it needs to as I take care of my health as the top priority, the people I #love, and then my #academics. But I am definitely the new boss and in charge of my own life. . #Drucker #futureMBA #theslightedge #womeninleadership #womeninentertainment #womeninbusiness #gradstudent #gradschoollife #gradstudentlife #vision #Lupus #Hashimotos (at Arts District, Las Vegas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsijvedgNJ4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10zp9e8siv19n

There are two types of attitude. The "I'll work harder and then I expect you'll pay me more." And the "pay me more, and then maybe I'll work harder." Which one are you? #askmehow #successwithcrystal #workfromhome #theslightedge #jeffolsen #successquotes #attitudeiseverything

Revisiting The Slight Edge this week. . . I was first given this book in 2005 by one of my mentors- Jeff Olson at a company event for then, Pre-paid Legal. . . It was my last year with the company and I never got a chance to thank him in person for the wonderful thoughts he shared in this book and the information that was planted into my subconscious mind. . . Easy to do, easy not to do, is a sentence that has shaped my life since. . . #theslightedge #jeffolson (at Corona, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bprpq6JBvgx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oky1mvhoce95
