HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?
SHIFTING GEARS TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS CAN BE A CHALLENGE, BUT WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET, YOU CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! HAVE YOU EVER FELT STUCK IN A RUT, UNABLE TO REACH YOUR GOALS DESPITE YOUR BEST INTENTIONS? IT HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, CHANGE IS ALWAYS WITHIN REACH.
THINK OF YOUR PROGRESS AS A GRAPH. THE MORE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO MAKING A CHANGE, THE STEEPER THE UPWARD TRAJECTORY. BUT BEWARE, IT'S NOT A ONE-TIME SOLUION. DEVOTING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO A GOAL IS UNSUSTAINABLE. THE KEY IS TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN YOUR NEW PURSUIT AND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. AND THE SECRET INGREDIANT? HABITS!
MOTIVATION IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED.
HABIT IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING".
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFE, YOU'LL FIND A WAY, IF NOT, YOU'LL FIND AN EXCUSE".
THE THING ABOUT THE HUMAN BRAIN IS THAT, WHEN YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING, THE BRAIN WILL SCAN THE ENVIRONMENT FOR ANY SIGNS THAT THE BELIEF IS TRUE".
THE STRESS
OUR BRAINS ARE LIKE INFORMATION PROCESSING MACHINES, COSTANTLY ANALYZING OUR SURROUNDINGS AND MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT HOW TO RESPOND TO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. BUT SOMETIMES WE FEEL OVERWHELMED OR UNEASY, AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF CORTISOL-A HORMONE THAT TELLS OUR BODIES TO RELEASE ENERGY TO HELP US COPE WITH STRESS.
THE TRUTH IS, STRESS ISN'T ALWAYS BAD FOR US. INFACT, IT CAN BE A POWERFUL MOTIVATOR THAT PROPELS US TOWARDS OUR GOALS. RATHER THAN TRYING TO ELIMINATE STRESS FROM OUR LIVES, WE SHOULD LEARN TO HARNESS IT AND USE IT TO OUR ADVANTAGE.
OF COURSE, CHRONIC STRESS CAN BE HARMFUL IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS OF BURNOUT, SUCH AS FEELING EMOTIONALLY DRAINED OR DISCONNECTED FROM OTHERS. CHRONIC STRESS CAN ALSO LEAD TO PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS LIKE HEADACHES AND MUSCLE PAIN, AND IT CAN MAKE US MORE PRONE TO ADDICTIVE BAHAVIORS LIKE DRINKING ALCOHOL.
THE KEY IS TO FIND A BALANCE BETWEEN STRESS AND REST, AND TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF OUR BODIES AND MINDS BY REPLENISHING THE ENERGY AND NUTRIENTS WE USE UP DURING STRESSFUL TIMES. BY LEARNING TO MANAGE STRESS AND PRIORITIZE SELF-CARE, WE CAN ACHIEVE OUR GOALS AND LIVE HAPPIER, HEALTHIER LIVES.
OUR PAST SHAPES US, AND CHILDHOOD TRAUMAS CAN LEAD TO NEGATIVE HABITS.
BE CAREFUL WITH THE WORD "SHOULD" AS IT CAN CARRY SHAME AND PRESSURE, MAKING YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF. WHY DO WE BLAME OURSELVES FOR EVERY PROBLEM IN OUR LIVES? THE TRUTH IS THAT OUR INSECURITEIS AND SHAME BLIND US.
FORGIVENESS AND LETTING GO
TAKE CHANGE OF YOUR LIFE, EVEN WHEN IT FEELS LIKE EVERYTHING IS OUT OF CONTROL. YOU HAVE AGENCY, AND IT'S UP TO YOU TO USE IT. IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH UNHEALTHY HABITS, STARY BY BEING HONEST WITH YOURSELF. IT'S HARD TO LET GO OF TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS OR PATTERNS, BUT IT'S EVEN HARDER TO BE STUCK IN A CYCLE OF PAIN.
- REMEMBER YOUR BAD HABITS ARE JUST A SYPTOMS OF SOMETHING DEEPER. BUT YOU CAN CHANGE, AND YOU'RE WORTH THE EFFORT.
- DON'T LET YOUR THOUGHTS CONTROL YOU - YOU HAVE THE POWER TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR MIND AND YOUR LIFE. IT WON'T BE EASY, BUT IT'S POSSIBLE. PRACTICE AND CONSISTENCY ARE KEY.
- HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE CAN HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON HOW YOU TREAT YOURSELF? IT'S TRUE.
- RELATIONSHIPS ARE MIRRORS OF OURSELVES. WHAT WE ATTRACT ALWAYS MIRRORS EITHER QUALITIES WE HAVE TO BELIEFS WE HAVE ABOUR RELATIONSHIPS.
TAKE A BREAK IF YOU USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO AVOID UNPLEASANT THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS. DELETE THE APPS OVER THE WEEKEND, OR TEMPORARILY DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT.
CONSIDER ADDING A TEASPOON OF SALT TO YOUR GLASS OF WATER. IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRINK. AND CONSIDER THROWING THAT SPOONFUL OF SALT INTO A RIVER. IT WON'T MAKE MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE. SIMILARLY, IF OUR HEARTS ARE SMALL AND CLOSED, WE ARE EASILY UPSET BY THE MISTAKE AND FLAWS OF OTHERS. HOWEVER, IF WE OPEN OUR HEARTS, WE WILL DISCOVER EMPATHY AND COMPASSION FOR OUR FELLOW HUMANS.
