To be an achiever - what does it take
Are you ready to elevate your life? Find out how to be an achiever with this blog post!
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because being an achiever is something that interests you. We can help! This article will give some insight into what traits make people successful and learn more about the mental and emotional qualities people need in order to be an achiever. This blog post will also cover why it’s so important for a person who wants to become successful or try something new, such as becoming a runner, to really embrace that mentality of being able to do anything they put their mind too. The first step towards achieving something is believing in yourself.
This blog post will focus on demystifying the success mindset. There are many ways to achieve success, and as you’ll read later in this post, there is no one right way to be successful. We will talk about some of the mental qualities that help people succeed, focusing on two main points: flow and staying positive.
There are many psychological studies that link a person’s emotional state with their ability to perform complex tasks. In his paper “Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience”, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi describes flow in terms of a person being able to accomplish something that is both challenging and rewarding at the same time. The implication is that the act of being in flow is a state where a person feels completely at ease and has full control over how their brain functions, including their behavior and actions. Imagine how good it feels to be able to play a musical instrument or sing in front of an audience as if you were meant to be doing it. The more flow you have, the better your body and mind will function at peak performance.
Flow occurs when your abilities are accomplished with full attention and presence of mind (citation from Csikszentmihalyi). For example, if you are a runner, running should be something you do with 100% focus and presence of mind. In order to be fully present in your actions and be able to perform flow, a person has learned to control their emotions. This is why people who can control their emotions can perform better at their job or manage different situations more effectively.
The concept of emotion regulation is defined as “the cognitive processes by which a person influences which emotion(s) he/she feels. Affect regulation refers to the cognitive processes by which a person influences the intensity of his/her emotion(s).” (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_regulation)
Being able to manage your emotions and control your behavior is one of the most important traits that successful people have. Knowing how to control your emotions, whether it’s positive or negative, will help you become a better person. In fact, emotion-related self-control is so necessary for success that many schools now have classes and resources dedicated to helping students develop the ability to regulate their emotions. Being able to control your emotions is the key towards succeeding in school, work, relationships and maintaining good health - basically in everything in life!
In order to be successful at anything you have to set goals for yourself and stick with them. These goals should be attainable but also challenging. It is very important to set goals that you want to achieve. A lot of the time we do not set our goals high enough, and this will not allow us to succeed. We simply need to be clear about what we want each and every day in order for us to achieve success. Is it going back to school? Being home in time for dinner? Doing the dishes? Filling out a form for your boss? Actually, no - that’s probably not even a goal! Smaller, more manageable goals are often achievable - but they are still important!

Being happy is an important part of being successful as well. Many successful people attribute their success to having a positive outlook on life. If you are having difficulties in becoming an achiever, try reading our article on the 5 steps to happiness . It might help you out!
Here is a short video from Oprah Winfrey, one of the 30 most powerful women in the world, talking about how important it is to believe in yourself and your ability to succeed:
People who achieve success quickly tend to maintain a positive mental outlook. They might not know exactly where they’re going, but they put themselves in a position where they can be successful. In our society today, many people become discouraged easily when things don’t go according to plan or when goals change over time. Sometimes people need to be able to take pride in themselves in order to be successful and feel good about what they do.
As we mentioned earlier, there is no one type of success or way to acquire it. Different types of people have different goals and different ways of achieving them. Some learn by reading books; others learn by watching videos or attending workshops. Some people utilize their time efficiently in order to get results while others take more time.
However, one thing is certain: if you want to be successful at something, you need to be dedicated and committed to achieving your goals. Read our blog post on the right mindset for becoming a runner. Whatever your goal is, whether it's running a marathon or not eating sugar anymore, there is always room for improvement in every aspect of our lives. If you have never run before, start slow and try to enjoy the process instead of worrying about how far you are going to run or how fast your splits are. If you don’t know who you want to be yet but think you may want to become a runner, that is ok too! You can still set goals for yourself based on what makes you happy. Read our article about the first steps to becoming a runner.
It’s important to remember that you can never be too focused on goals. You might have goals related to your social life, work, studies or family, but they should all have a common thread throughout: having fun. Most people spend their lives working for money or achievement (which is not such a bad thing depending on how it’s used).
Conclusion
Being successful at anything requires hard work, dedication, and a certain mental attitude. This is not an easy task for everyone. It takes a lot of time and effort to achieve these traits in our lives. However, there are no excuses for not being productive. If you want to be successful at something, you need to put your mind to it! Start small with whatever goal you have in your head - whether it’s running a marathon or making healthier eating choices - and just go for it!
