More tidbits on the 100 day challenge...

Check out this blog! It specifically addresses our goals for the 100 day challenge!

Some highlights from the blog:

One of the principles that Gary emphasizes in the “100 Day Finish Strong Challenge” is the Law of Exposure. The Law of Exposure tells us that our minds think about what they’re most exposed to.

This performance law is fueled by the following understandings:

  1. Whatever enters your mind repeatedly first occupies your mind and then eventually shapes both your perceptions and reality.
  2. Your mind will absorb and ultimately reflect whatever it gets repeatedly exposed to.
  3. The events you attend, the materials you read, the music you listen to, the images you watch, the conversations you hold, the friends you hang out with, and the daydreams you entertain, all of these are shaping your mind, then your character, and eventually your future.
  4. You expose people to your behavior all day long and as a result you either make deposits or withdrawals into their psychological bank account.

Now think of the following questions as they relate to the Law of Exposure:

  • What am I currently exposing my mind to on a daily basis?
  • What impact is that exposure having on my performance?
  • What should I be exposing my mind to on a daily basis?
  • What am I exposing other people to when they look at my behavior?
  • What indecencies should I no longer be exposing my mind to?

Indecent Exposure
As it relates to your personal and professional performance, indecent exposure consists of anything that pollutes your mind, body, or soul, such as the following:
Excuses
Procrastination
Junk Food
Violence
Lack of integrity
Worry
Lying
Mediocrity

Far too many people are overly exposed to these indecencies which negatively impacts their results. It’s amazing how many people think that they can avoid the Law of Exposure: they think they can read anything they want–tabloids, gossip magazines, and so on–, they can watch bad images, they can listen to nasty music, and it will not have any impact on them.
