Mindset focus is key for maintaining your vertical life.
There are a handful of things that you need to be attentive to if you are going to maintain your vertical mindset and life over the course of your lifetime. The first is that of mental focus. You have to establish patterns of mental remembrance or discipline that help you refocus your mind on the vertical things you’re living for. Eitan shares a few of the ways you can begin those good habits on this episode, so be sure you take the time to listen.
Emotional health: Key to focusing on what is most important in your life.
We all have great ambitions and things we know need to be an important part of the lives we live. But we don’t often realize that if we allow our emotional health to decline we’ll be shooting ourselves in the foot when it comes to those higher goals. On this episode, Eitan shares the kinds of things you need to pay attention to in order to maintain emotional health. If you can put these into regular practice you’ll find yourself to be more resilient and strong when it comes to staying focused on your vertical life goals.
If your body isn’t strong, your vertical focus will suffer.
Have you ever been at a place in life when you were so physically exhausted that you couldn’t think straight? It’s in those moments that everything looks hopeless and our emotions prompt us to give up. But there isn’t any truth in those feelings - they came from the fact that our body was out of steam. On this episode, Eitan covers why physical energy and health is so vital for staying on track toward your larger, life goals. You’ll learn some practical ways you can keep yourself healthy so you will be able to endure the slog required to successfully live a vertical life.
If you can’t stay on track in life, you likely don’t have a structure to help you do it.
Staying on track with your vertical mindset doesn’t happen purely through willpower and good intentions. It happens as willpower is coupled with structures you put in place that prompt you to stay on track. Eitan knows that can sound a bit ambiguous until you get into so he dives into examples of some practical structures he uses, on this episode. You’ll find the description of what he does to keep himself on track very instructive when it comes to determining and devising your own structures. Be sure you listen.
