How's Our SELF-IMPROVEMENTS?

 

Does SELF-IMPROVEMENT [still] have a slot in our queue?  Hoping so.  Because per se, I would admit that SELF-IMPROVEMENT [inside out] sounds boring to even spend a second.  WHAT are the ramifications then?  Even without us becoming aware of, many of us unconsiously experience regressing in their respective performances, be it work, in school or even in managing their day-to-day lives.  That explains as to WHY SELF-IMPROVEMENT is hardly a thread to spend time on.  BUT despite the frenetic pace of our daily lives, can we do a PULSE CHECK NOW???

Key challenge in tackling SELF-IMPROVEMENT is that we got to set goals and I'll be the first one to agree that setting goals, anything from getting a university degree OR landing a new job to achieve that next level of our career, is a huge and big step towards SELF-IMPROVEMENT.  BUT following through to achieve WHAT you set out to accomplish can indeed be challenging, especially on those days WHEN motivation seems to be waning.  SO HOW?  HOW can we follow through on the goals we set and reaffirm + reinforce our commitments to it [especially during those days WHEN you DON'T feel doing it]?  True, for whatever factors, everyone of us may lose our motivation, from time to time❎❎❎

Allow me to share HOW I managed to [barely] handle those times WHEN my motivation waned:

• I wrote my goals on paper [yesirrrreeee, I do tap on our smart phone's Notepad as well.
• I intentionally make it a habit to work on my goals.
• I plan and aim for IMPERFECTION [even if frankly, I want every action I perform to be as perfect it can be]
• I 'drilled and dice' so that I got small goals enough to build up the momentum I need to gain.

• Track/monitor your progress consistently
• Embrace those 'peer pressures' around
• Reward yourself NOT just for BIG WINs
• Do some 'mood lifting' [when it's gloomy]
• Practice gratitude.  That really pays off
• Remember your "WHY".  WHY are you doing this and that for you

Our takeaway:  SELF-MOTIVATION seems so easy to come.  WHEN we're offered incentives [call it CARROTs], our MOTIVATION spikes.  WHEN we get promoted to a new job role, MOTIVATION becomes 'matic'.  BUT those are fleeting moments only.  The need to sustain and carry on with your SELF-IMPROVEMENT initiatives has to be consistently reinforced, RAIN or SHINE dude😂😂😂
