I was asked yesterday on a coaching call how I’m always positive :)

This has been an intentional choice & something I’ve worked hard at for years now!

🙏You can’t be grateful & grumpy at the same time!!

🔥I curate my entire life around positivity.

Strategies I use: 🧵
👇👇

❌I never watch sad movies or horror movies.
If I’m watching movie it’s going to inspire or educate me.

❌I never listen to sad music.
All praise music that floods my soul.
I dance & sing often too :)

❌I don’t follow toxic people.
Only Champs that inspire me on my timeline!💪

❌I don’t follow politics or the news at all.
My wife said on Jan 25th something about President Biden & I had no clue he had been inaugurated 🤷
He’s President now?!

Maybe that’s bad,
but I feel I affect the most change in the world from within myself, my home & my community.

❌I don’t allow toxic or negative people on social media or real life.
I block frequently if they are toxic online.

In real life it’s harder, but necessary.
We recently cut out 2 family members that were critical & negative about our mission to foster.
We don’t need that!!✌️

I cut out a long time friend of 16 years that wouldn’t stop talking about politics & Cvoid nonstop.

I asked him to stop & offered to talk other topics but when he persisted & I felt my anxiety rise every time he text,
I decided my peace was more important during this season.

✅I constantly audit where my focus, thoughts & goals are.
✅I am very intentional to pause throughout the day several times & reflect on controlling my thoughts & ensuring they are serving me!!
✅I have journaled what I’m grateful for 985 days in a row :)

✅My wife & I talk wins & how we can build one another up!!
✅Putting my daughter to bed every night we talk about what we are grateful for & why we need to give back & be thankful.
✅My conversations with friends are similar!
We are getting better let’s go!💪🔥🐉

I take some flack for this.
That’s ok :)

Tyler lives in the clouds, he’s not in reality...

We create our reality!!🔥💪

I control my inputs & then I GET TO live a life full of joy, peace & positivity!

Challenges & setbacks happen daily.
I CHOOSE to see them as opportunities.

I don’t always succeed.
I have days like everyone else I wake up “off” cranky, tired, agitated etc.

I fight hard on those days sometimes taking 7-8 mini breaks to
“Reset my day”

-I’ll meditate & visualize winning
-praise music & give it to God
-breath work
-journal gratitude

@naval had a great quote,

“If you are so smart, why aren’t you happy.”

I prioritize my happiness & my peace & CHOOSE everyday to see the good & be positive above all else.

I hope you CHOOSE to be happy & positive as well today!!

IMO, it’s how we change the world!!
❤️🙏
