Hi Dr. Scott Zarcinas (aka DoctorZed) here, Founder of 818: Unlocking Your Life.

At the core of my coaching programs and the philosophy behind them is the principle of positive self-leadership.

As I repeat to my clients, “Be the leader you want to see in others.”

In other words, be a disciplined self-leader, practice self-leadership, and teach others how to be good self-leaders.

That way you can impact others and the world in a positive way, as well as enriching your life and those around you.

Positive self-leadership is not just a concept—it’s a way of life that profoundly impacts every aspect of your well-being.

By taking charge of your thoughts, emotions, and actions, you can unlock the whole spectrum of benefits that contribute to your overall health, prosperity, and happiness.

1. Health:

Positive self-leadership promotes physical and mental well-being.

When you adopt a mindset focused on self-care and self-compassion, you prioritise activities that nourish your body and mind.

From regular exercise and nutritious eating habits to stress management techniques like mindfulness and meditation, self-leadership empowers you to make choices that support optimal health and vitality.

2. Prosperity:

Self-leadership lays the foundation for prosperity by fostering a mindset of abundance and growth.

When you take ownership of your goals and aspirations, you become proactive in pursuing opportunities for success.

By cultivating resilience and a can-do attitude, you overcome obstacles and setbacks with discipline and determination, unlocking your limitless potential in every aspect of your life.

3. Happiness:

At its core, self-leadership is about aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions with your true desires and values.

By living authentically and with purpose, you cultivate a deep sense of fulfillment and contentment.

When you lead yourself with intention and integrity, you experience greater satisfaction in your relationships, careers, and personal endeavours, leading to lasting happiness and fulfillment.

What You Can Do: Develop the 5 SMART Habits of Self-Leadership

Being a self-leader is not just beneficial; it’s essential for your mental and emotional well-being.

Here are the 5 SMART habits of self-leadership you can develop to boost your health, prosperity, and happiness:

1. S: Self-Management: Positive self-leadership grows from the discipline and cultivation of self-management. This means taking responsibility for your thoughts, emotions, words, and actions, which requires self-awareness and emotional intelligence. When you have developed good self-management habits, you will gain insight into your motivations and desires. You will therefore gain more trust and confidence in your abilities, make better decisions, have greater self-belief, and better navigate challenges. You will have a strong foundation of resilience, confidence, and courage.
2. M: Mindset: Self-leadership is also grounded in a positive and growth-oriented mindset. When you adopt a mindset of possibility and opportunity, you will begin to approach life with curiosity and optimism, embracing each moment as an opportunity for learning and growth.
3. A: Attitude: Self-leadership also requires the right attitude. The right attitude encompasses selflessness, big-picture thinking, open-mindedness, positivity, commitment, purpose, and conviction. It’s to embrace the Churchillian determination to ‘never give up’, to desire to be better today than you were yesterday, to choose a life of purpose and meaning. It is to serve the continuous advancement and development of all humankind so that all may have life and have it abundantly.
4. R: Reconnection with Your Authentic Self: Perhaps most importantly, self-leadership is an intentional reconnection with your authentic self. By honoring your values, passions, and purpose, you align with your true nature, opening yourself to the ever-present experience of joy, security, acceptance, peace, and freedom. It’s getting to that point where you are happy in your own skin and can happily proclaim to the world, “This is who I am, and I am glad!”
5. T: Transformation: Self-leadership facilitates transformation into the best version of yourself. By embracing growth and personal development, you continuously strive to expand your potential and self-actualise, which is to live a life of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.

In essence, self-leadership is about embracing good self-management, nurturing a positive mindset, cultivating the right attitude, being authentic, and striving to become the best version of yourself.

By embodying these principles, you unleash your innate potential for health, prosperity, and happiness.
