Your Positive Mindset Playbook

Book excerpt: Leading a thriving life takes work—it doesn’t just happen—and daily reflection and affirmations are an essential part of bringing one’s dreams to reality. Your Positive Mindset Playbook is designed to help readers create the life they desire, which begins with what they feed their minds on a daily basis. After writing over 50,000 affirmations of his own, Robert “Sully” Sullivan compiled his top 100, with an application story behind each one. This playbook is for individuals who seek to invest in their future, rather than waiting for their goals to become a reality. An experienced business and military leader, Sully Sullivan knows how reading, writing, and reflection can deepen an individual’s understanding of self and their personal goals and hurdles. He has seen firsthand how a daily practice of examining affirmations and applying them to his life has dramatically improved his mental health and clarity of focus. Sullivan encourages readers to directly engage with the ideas in Your Positive Mindset Playbook. He first directs readers to rewrite the affirmation, which deepens comprehension of the subject and strengthens their memory of it. Then he instructs readers to write what that affirmation means to them personally, which pushes them to connect the ideas to where they are each day. Sullivan hopes that the words within Your Positive Mindset Playbook fill readers’ minds with uplifting thoughts and encouragement that can be easily applied throughout each day.
