A practical exercise…
I want to share a practical exercise that could make a real difference in your life; Take a moment, sit down, and ask yourself: "What is something I'm doing wrong, something I can fix, and something I'm willing to fix?" This isn’t just a thought experiment. It's a serious question, and it requires your honesty.
Reflect on this question, and you'll find an answer. It might not be the answer you want, but it will be the one you need. Once you have it, challenge yourself. Test your limits. How much discipline do you have to accomplish this?
Sometimes we forget that we do have a good level of discipline if it’s been a while since we used it… take a pen and write a few lines about when you did use a good level of discipline or persistence. You’ll realise that you do have that still, how hard you’ve worked previously and how good or satisfied you felt during and in completing or accomplishing something, that it was worth the work… that same discipline is just blocked at the moment somehow. Think about where your previous limit was and then work up to it in small steps, small achievable steps make for sustainability. Another blog gives advice on how to do this in a practical way… and that brings me to another good life tip regarding advice; being able to ask of ourselves and others, when advice is given, ‘If I were to follow your advice, what would that look like, in practice, in everyday life?’
Remember, this is about balance. You don’t want to burn out by working too hard. The goal is to eventually push yourself in every possible way, but with a clear aim: to become a better, more competent person… and that’s something worth being!
Setting yourself forward to become more than you are changes life; you begin to see the potential you have inside you and your capacity to confront that potential, making something good and valuable out of it for yourself and others. Let’s establish a vision of who you would like to be and work together to achieve that.
