Happy New Year! This year you may have already set out to make one drastic life change or another. Tony Robbins teaches that there are three components when striving for a breakthrough,

Strategy

Story

State

Your Strategy is your plan of action to get there. Finding a great strategy may be as easy as doing an internet search, meaning it is easily accessible. Yet it takes more than Strategy.

Your Story is what you tell yourself that causes you to remain stuck where you are. No matter your situation there is someone with one similar or worse who has accomplished their goal of advancing or improving themselves. When you change your Story, you will change your life. Yet there is more.

Your state is your mindset. Tony stresses that you want to protect your state. Said another way, you should strive to consistently be in a peak state or one that serves you.

Notice that when you are in a good mood, things do not affect you as when you are not? You have a more positive outlook on life. I would venture to say that if you are in the right state, you will adopt the right Story and home in on the Strategy that best aligns with your wiring better than if you were not, if at all.

What must you do to establish and maintain the right state? Examine your habits. You may need to develop a fitness regimen, improve your diet, start journaling, get better quality rest, nurture friendships, smile more often, take a trip, start yoga, to name a few. I am sure you have some in mind that will serve you as well.

How about you start prioritizing maintaining an optimum state from today? We live, move, and exist in God according to Acts 17:28. I submit that living in a peak state will enable us to do that with zest as well as walk in our calling consistently.
