How often have you had a bad day and been told to think positively?
Often this piece of unwelcome advice only leads to more anxiety when these ‘positive thoughts’ aren’t deeply believed, confirmed, or backed up by your own experience.
Why? Because positive thinking operates at the surface level of conscious thinking and does nothing to contend with the subconscious mind where limiting beliefs actually live.
So what can we do instead?
1. SAY THIS:
We’ve been honored to host Chris Helder and personally live by his creed of Useful Belief in place of vague positivity.
Watch the video below for examples of what you can say instead:
2. Focus on progress not perfection
This simple mindset shift is proven to improve mood, encourage learning, and fosters independence and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Making and admitting to mistakes is a necessary part of learning, of growing, and of being human.
3. Take responsibility and be accountable for your actions
Instead of using the emotional band-aid of positive thinking look at the deeper root of your frustration and action steps to properly heal.
Think about it this way, if you’re responsible for your negative feelings, you also hold the solution to resolving them.

As everyone all over the world continues to self-isolate, lets talk focus, and specifically how you can do this at home. The likelihood is that you’re now surrounded by more distractions than ever, perhaps it’s your family, the laundry, the refrigerator, your cuticles, or the fact that you can’t remember the last time you watered the house plants.
Losing focus can take seconds, however gaining it back takes a lot longer than you might think.
So, how can we action exceptional focus at home? Watch the full video below:

Gloria Mark, a professor in the Department of Informatics at the University of California, has proven that it takes 23 minutes and 15 seconds just to re-focus after losing it.
Who knew that quick scroll of your Instagram feed could carry such dire consequences to your productivity?
So here are a few tips on how you can execute exceptional focus at home…
PROBLEM NUMBER 1: The setup – separate your personal from your professional
Lastly set some boundaries with yourself, your family or your room mates. Let them know well in advance your working hours, and your hours for socializing.
Next, dress the part. Even though you’re at home it can be beneficial to get ready for work in the same way you would if you were going into the office.
Set up a dedicated home office with all the things you require to work efficiently.
PROBLEM NUMBER 2: Indecisiveness
Your quality of focus is more about what you DON’T do as opposed to what you do do? Saying a big fat decisive YES to saying NO will allow you the freedom to focus on what really matters. In fact, Warren Buffet has a wonderful method in determining exactly what to say NO to so you’re able to say yes to what’s most important.
THE WARREN BUFFET 2 LIST METHOD:
So simple and yet so powerful. This method is wonderful in helping you determine what deserves your focus and what doesn’t in your career. It’s also a method you can use to determine bigger life goals as well as determine what needs your attention in any given week, a habit that could easily be adopted on a Sunday evening or Monday morning.
So, first things first, take out your pen and paper and write down your top 25 goals, once again either for career, life or for the next working week.
Once you’ve written down your 25 goals circle your top five, the most important goals you really want to accomplish.
Now you have two lists, your Top 5 list of the most important goals, and a second list of 20 other goals. An A list and a B.
Now comes the point where one must, as Faulkner once said, kill your darlings.
“Everything you didn’t circle just became your avoid-at-all-cost list. No matter what, these things get no attention from you until you’ve succeeded with your top 5.”

The post Victory Offices Has Launched Its Latest Innovation – The Victory Lounge appeared first on Victory Offices.
]]>The Victory Lounge was an idea founded by our Chief Operating Officer, Manisha Angirish, who saw a gap in the market for a business-style environment that blends the ability to socialise and relax, with a place to hold informal meetings and conduct business.
“We wanted to create the luxury of an airport business lounge in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD,’ says Ms Angirish. “Our members need a place that they can unwind and network after hours.”
Keeping the work-life balance
The Victory Lounge is an innovation designed to complement our first offering of flexible office solutions. It provides members with an exclusive environment to network, socialise and unwind outside of the office. Here, professionals can refresh after a productive day in a business-style atmosphere.
Victory Offices’ Chief Executive Officer Dan Baxter speaks on the decision to keep formal and informal environments separate, “I won’t have beer on tap in my offices or at reception because it’s a place where you work… I do love a beer, but I don’t want a beer in my office. I would love to have it somewhere else.”
Victory Offices is a firm believer in creating and preserving a healthy work-life balance. In fact, it has been a large driving force behind the desire to create an area where our members can relax in style. The Australian Institute of Business highlights the importance of work-life balance in improving efficiency both at home and at work:
Inside the lounge
A business lounge in the heart of the CBD. Featuring sophisticated tinted glass and sleek, European-style furnishings in the deep black and warm gold of Victory Offices. Similarly, we’ve carried over our award-winning 6-star service with a dedicated concierge and onsite baristas.
A focal point of the new space is a gorgeous, central bar. Victory Lounge serves barista-made coffee, T2 tea along with beer, wine, spirits, non-alcoholic drinks and light refreshments. It is easy to imagine how popular this area will be as an after-work drink hot spot.
As you’d expect of any modern business lounge, there is fast and free WiFi throughout. So plug-in and get some quick work done in one of the semi-private booths. Or take a seat and unwind at the bar with a beer fresh from the tap. No matter your preference, the Victory Lounge caters to a variety of experiences.
Victory Lounge Memberships
Victory Lounge access comes in the form of exclusive memberships. Options range from a day pass option to a full-fledged Lounge Member. Choose how you enjoy the Victory Lounge.
