This map provides a roadmap and framework for overcoming adversity, periods of struggle, and setbacks. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these concepts and ideas into your subconscious mind.
A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.
Stick with these principles, memorize and incorporate them into your life, and you will progressively strengthen your “bounce-back” muscle. Then from that moment on, you will face life’s obstacles with a renewed sense of optimism and energy. No longer will you be discouraged by adversity, but rather encouraged and excited to take on your next challenge.
