It&#8217;s the way you deal with things, not what happens, that gives you peace of mind. Every day is precious.<\/p>\n<p>Person that you want to be is the person that you really are.<\/p>\n<p>Never assume that because you&#8217;ve told someone something that they&#8217;ve heard it or understood it.<\/p>\n<p>When you find yourself stressed, deliberately slow down your thinking.<\/p>\n<p>At night you are in the chimp mode with emotional and irrational thinking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you measure success in life my effort and doing your best then it&#8217;s always in your hands succeed and to be proud of yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When you decide to do something it&#8217;s commitment, not motivation that matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you were given the million dollars to do the task before the end of the day, could you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People usually love ownership and will take things more seriously when given it.<\/p>\n<p>Commit the small change and do it consistently.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t battle \u2013 instead live such lifestyle. For example, don&#8217;t battle your sugar eating habbit, instead don&#8217;t do it because you &#8220;just don&#8217;t&#8221;, because it&#8217;s the way you live.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chimp?src=hash\">#Chimp<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Paradox?src=hash\">#Paradox<\/a> by Dr. Steve Peters <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/NGUvEalJRB\">http:\/\/t.co\/NGUvEalJRB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Nikola Bre\u017enjak (@HitmanHR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HitmanHR\/status\/648219959345197056\">September 27, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My notes from a book The Chimp Paradox\u00a0by Steve Peters subtitled &#8220;The Mind Management Program to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence, and Happiness&#8221;, which I rated 4\/5 on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2225"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2230,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2225\/revisions\/2230"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nikola-breznjak.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
