Being persistent hardwires your brain. Having the same thoughts, saying the same words all the time, and doing the same things often creates a sort of fixed hardwired electrical channel, like an electrical cord that your energy will constantly flow along. Energy always seeks the path of least resistance. To know and understand that is very important because this is how your habits are created.
So, it is very helpful to understand how energy flows, and how it works for you, or against you. Energy never really works against you, but unchecked it can take you to a place that you did not expect to be in. Like a bad habit and a good example would be smoking!
Being persistent can be both creative and destructive. An analysis of your habits will help you understand that being persistent about the things in your life that you care most about is part of what you value most.
Our habits govern our unconscious behaviour. By that I mean, if you are not aware of what you are thinking and why, and you have little control over your thoughts, then it is your habits that will persist to govern your outcomes.
Practice establishing new habits as it is easier to do this than delete old habits that don't serve you. Use the habits that serve us and ignore the habits that take us away from our clear vision of where you desire to be in the future. A good example of a bad habit that takes away our time opportunity might be regular smoking breaks, or too many regular coffee breaks.
Not having good self discipline will always play a significant part in keeping our goals elusive from us achieving them.
Here is three tips to being more persistent.
Tip 1 - Analyse your habits first. If you are doing something that is not in alignment with your intention to achieve something, then you are blocking the necessary smooth energy flow that helps you. Your thoughts are out of alignment, hence your actions that follow are also out of alignment.
Tip 2 - Ensure that you have clear reasons why you are persisting towards this thing that you are wanting. It is the reasons that support your beliefs in what you are trying to do.
Tip 3 - Be able to persist regularly at the same time each day to create a routine that you enjoy.
Bonus Tip You will need to do this for at least 60 days before it becomes a habit. If you can't do that then you are not serious about enjoying the life that you think you do in your vision.
If you are in doubt, it is better go back to the drawing board and start by asking questions about what it is that you are wanting. Choose the things that you like most.

When I was young and I tried to visualise or dream about my future, like where I might be in 10 years time, not too much happened. It was like scrambled eggs. I was all over the place. I often wished someone would just jump in and do it all for me. Yeah right, and that's going to happen. Actually each time I met someone, I thought that maybe this new person in my life could help, but it was not to be the type of help that I was looking for.
What type of help was I looking for? I did not know the answer to that either. Was I lost? No, not really. Was I interested in finding something meaningful? Definitely yes, to that question. So, what did I do about this on going saga, my life. I read. I haven't stopped either. I read everything that I could possibly get my hands on that moved me towards a clear vision of what I wanted (which I still didn't know).
Let's define a vision. For me, a vision is like painting a picture. You draw it step by step only adding things to your picture, your future vision of your life, as you desire. As I am not a great artist, I will use anything including "cut-outs" from a magazine and even stick those cut out pictures onto my visionary canvass of my life. It is similar to making a picture book for yourself.
Here is three tips to get started..
Tip 1- Choose to start. Decide to just go and get yourself a big piece of paper. Maybe one of those large art pages you can buy from a paper shop.I think the bigger the page the better.
Tip 2- Get a pen and write three things at the top of the page that are important to you. At the bottom, write three things that are holding you back from having them right now.
Tip 3- Find a quiet and still place and take 15 minutes to quiet your mind. In this time, allow yourself the opportunity to let your mind wonder, stopping to jot down any thoughts that "pop into your mind".
Bonus Tip- Just do the first thing that you can do right now. This is how you can start to create your master piece.
After you have completed these preliminary steps, you can begin to dream about what your life will look like. How do you do that? Ask yourself questions. Maybe questions like, "What do I enjoy doing?" Where do you prefer to live? What are the top three most important things that I value in my life? Do I want to be close to those things each day, or just each month?
Asking questions is a great start to trigger the direction of your thoughts because it is your thinking that will help create your vision. If you want some guidance, I can help you.
