Start Your Own Good Habits List

Start Your Own Good Habits List

What good habit would you like to begin this month?

Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
Shawn Actor

Quite often when we think of habits, we tend to think of our ‘bad’ habits and our hope, intention or struggles that one day we will be able to give them up. But, whilst it’s useful to think of giving up our bad habits, I also believe it’s more enjoyable to instil good habits, which may eventually squeeze out the bad habits.

Cultivate Good Habits

So, looking at things this way, instead of forcing or depriving yourself, instead, actively cultivate a good habit you’d like to develop and ignore your bad habit. Of course, the bad habit will crop up, it’s inevitable, since by definition it’s something that you often do without even realising that you’re doing it. But, over time, the aim would be to supersede the old bad habit with something more enjoyable, meaningful or healthy.

So how about starting your own Good Habits List? Try to make the list positively focused, aimed at the ‘good’ things you’re going to do. [Read more…] about Start Your Own Good Habits List

Identify Your Self Limiting Beliefs

Are you a fortune-teller? A clairvoyant? If not, why anticipate the worst for yourself? We predict events will turn out in a negative way because our self-beliefs are limiting.  Maddy Malhotra

What is a Self Limiting Belief?

Do you feel stuck in one or more areas of your life? Maybe you feel that you’ve never got enough money, or your relationships suck or your health is challenging in some way? The chances are that beneath the surface there’s a self limiting belief lurking. Something that causes you to pull back just at the point where you’re likely to make a breakthrough and see a change for the better.

This is the crux of a self limiting belief.

It’s when we find ourselves continually re-enacting the same stories of our lives, getting the same or similar results and wondering why the wheel of fortune never seems to turn in our favour. Beneath that frustration, and possibly anger at yet another ‘failure’, there’s something buried, something that keeps tripping you up. [Read more…] about Identify Your Self Limiting Beliefs

11 weeks…or…
77 days until the end of 2017!

When time feels limited, it’s not always easy to think of ideas and then commit to something wholeheartedly, because we don’t always manage to convince ourselves that it’s the best thing to do at this point in time. Consequently, we feel paralysed and take no meaningful action.

As usual, I can’t believe how quickly the year has flown by, and now, with limited time left, I want to finish with a flourish!

Here’s my personal goals progress update for September 2017! You can check out my detailed list of 2017 Goals here. Writing publicly about my progress is one of the most effective methods of accountability I’ve found. Consequently, I’m aiming to produce a monthly update right through 2017.

Writing up my personal goals progress report is an important part of keeping me on track and accountable. It’s also a really useful method to review what is and isn’t working. Sometimes that will mean that some goals will change or be removed altogether. But the great thing is that these are my goals, so I can change them as often as I like! If you choose to write up or already have some personal goals then doing a regular review and write up is a great way to stay on track!

So here’s my September update… 🙂 [Read more…] about My Personal Goals Progress Update for September 2017

Do You Struggle to Love Yourself?

Do You Struggle to Love Yourself?

Posed with a question like this, we imagine it means something like looking in the mirror and not being repulsed by the person who stares back at us!  That may sound a bit strong, but for some people, this could well be the case, but, as that person stares back at you, do you ever take the time to actually ask yourself why you struggle to love yourself?

There are many obvious, but many more subtle ways that we may struggle to love ourselves. We may not like our physical appearance for superficial reasons, but, the real reasons are usually buried a bit deeper. Some may just be below the surface, whilst others may be buried deep within our psyche. What’s more, we may not be keen to delve that deep.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways you might struggle to love yourself and then consider what can be done to lift that burden slightly. [Read more…] about Do You Struggle to Love Yourself?
