In episode 615, Megan chats to Elan Gelfand about the importance of focus, discipline, consistency, handling judgment, and reigniting passion.

Elan Gelfand started the podcast Abundant Thinking where he talks about how to live a purposeful life and how to improve your mindset. Elan has spoken to some of the best coaches in their industry and has valuable insight on how to succeed and how to cultivate a bulletproof mindset.

In this episode, you’ll learn about creating the right environment to minimize distractions, building discipline slowly to achieve long-term success and adopting a mindset of not caring about others' opinions.

Key points discussed:

- Start small to build discipline: Begin with small, achievable goals and gradually increase the difficulty, rather than setting unrealistic high expectations that are hard to maintain.

- Eliminate distractions: Use tools like the Opal app to block distracting apps and create an environment conducive to focused work.

- Consistency leads to discipline: Staying consistent with your habits, even in small ways, can help develop long-term discipline.

- Reframe judgment: When faced with judgment from others, remember that people who are doing well are unlikely to waste time criticizing you.

- Focus on your own approval: Prioritize your own self-approval over the opinions of others, as you'll be spending the most time with yourself.

- Reignite passion by trying new things: Experiment with different aspects of your work to find new sources of inspiration and excitement.

- Appreciate the good times: Recognize and be grateful for the moments when you feel passionate and engaged, as they can help you push through the more challenging periods.

- Differentiate between focus and discipline: Focus is about staying committed in the moment, while discipline is about consistently doing the same thing over time.

- Create the right environment: Deliberately set up your physical and digital surroundings to support your productivity and minimize distractions.

- Limit time with negative people: Reduce interactions with those who are judgmental or unsupportive, and instead seek out positive, encouraging relationships.
