HOW A MENTALIST PREPARES FOR A NEW YEAR: MASTERING MINDSETS

-

 


As a mentalist, stepping into a new year is more than just setting goals. It’s about aligning the mind, body, and spirit to create a year of purpose and growth. Here's how I prepare for a fresh start, not just as a mentalist, but as someone deeply invested in mastering the power of mindset.

1. Reflection: Learning from the Past
Before moving forward, I take time to look back. Reflection isn't about dwelling on mistakes; it's about understanding what worked, what didn't, and why.
  • Ask Yourself: What were my wins this year? What lessons did I gain from challenges?
  • Mentalist Mindset: Every experience is a step in the right direction, even if it felt like a stumble.
2. Setting Intentions, Not Just Goals
Goals are great, but intentions are the fuel behind them. While goals are specific and measurable, intentions focus on the why.
  • Example: Instead of “I want to book more shows,” my intention might be, “I want to create unforgettable moments for my audience.”
  • Mentalist Mindset: Intentions guide actions with purpose, making every step meaningful.
3. The Power of Visualization
As a mentalist, visualization is at the core of what I do. For the new year, I imagine what success feels like, not just what it looks like.
  • Exercise: Close your eyes and picture the year you want. Imagine the emotions, achievements, and relationships you’ll nurture.
  • Mentalist Mindset: The mind doesn’t differentiate between imagined success and real success—it works toward whatever you focus on.
4. Training Discipline Like a Muscle
Discipline is key to staying consistent throughout the year. Just like training for a performance, I strengthen my discipline with small, daily habits.
  • Tip: Start with manageable habits and build momentum. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress.
  • Mentalist Mindset: Mastery isn’t about doing big things once; it’s about doing small things consistently.
5. Surrounding Myself with the Right Energy
As I mentioned before, your circle shapes your life. For the new year, I prioritize people who inspire, challenge, and uplift me.
  • Question: Who are the people supporting your growth? Who might you need to distance yourself from?
  • Mentalist Mindset: Energy is contagious—choose your environment wisely.
6. Trusting the Process
The beauty of a new year is in its uncertainty. Not everything will go as planned, but I’ve learned to trust the process and stay adaptable.
  • Reminder: Growth doesn’t happen in a straight line. Embrace detours and surprises—they’re part of the journey.
  • Mentalist Mindset: Control what you can, and let go of what you can’t.
A Final Thought
Preparing for a new year isn’t just about resolutions—it’s about mindset. By reflecting, setting intentions, visualizing success, staying disciplined, and surrounding myself with the right energy, I step into the new year ready to create magic—both on stage and in life.
How about you? How do you prepare your mind for a new year?

HOW TO CHOOSE A CANDIDATE FOR ELECTIONS LIKE A MENTALIST

-

  Elections in the Philippines are more than just a political event; they’re an emotional spectacle. From grand rallies to heated debates, candidates pull every trick in the book to win votes. But as a mentalist, I see past the showmanship. I analyze behaviors, speech patterns, and psychological tactics to determine a candidate’s true intent. And you can do the same. Here’s how you can apply a mentalist’s mindset when choosing the right leader. 1.  Look Beyond the Words Politicians are masters of persuasion, using rehearsed lines and emotional appeals to win hearts. Instead of focusing on their words alone, watch their body language. Are their gestures aligned with their statements? Do they maintain eye contact, or do they look away when answering tough questions? A genuine candidate exudes confidence without overcompensating. 2.  Analyze Their Track Record A mentalist doesn’t just rely on what people say; we look at patterns. A candidate’s history speaks louder than thei...

BEING ORIGINAL

  Finding Inspiration Without Losing Yourself We all have people we look up to; whether they’re leaders in our field, creatives we admire, or mentors who guide us. Their work, ideas, and success stories push us to improve. But there’s a fine line between inspiration and imitation. How do you take what inspires you and make it your own? 1. Absorb, Don’t Copy There’s a reason you admire certain people. Maybe it’s their work ethic, creativity, or approach to challenges. Instead of copying what they do, analyze why it works. What elements resonate with you? What skills do they have that you can develop in your own way? Tip:  Keep a journal of things that inspire you, but always ask, "How can I adapt this to fit my unique voice and perspective?" 2. Mix Influences Like a Chef Think of creativity like cooking. The best dishes aren’t made by copying one recipe; they’re a fusion of different flavors, techniques, and ingredients. The same goes for inspiration. Learn from multiple sourc...
