Here's some great advice from Brendon Burchard

Components Of Your Self - IMAGE

You are what you think. How many times have you heard this advice, pondered what it means, and taken the time, and made the effort, to fully consider, how you might enhance your self - IMAGE, in order to enjoy a happier, more, personally fulfilling existence? However, before you can do so, effectively, it is important to understand some of the key components, which create this entity, and discover, the best possible approach, you can use, to feel better about yourself, and your life! With that in mind, this article will attempt to, briefly, consider, examine, review, and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and represents, and how you might use these insights, in your best interests.

1. Introspective; integrity; ideals; ideas; insights: The logical, first - step, is to take the time, and make a concerted effort, to be, truly introspective, giving yourself a check - up, from the neck - up. What do you really want, and why? Maintain your personal integrity, during this process, because, lying to yourself, serves little benefit! Are your ideals, aligned with quality ideas, which might bring your insights, to reality/ fruition, and make you feel better, about yourself?

2. Motivating; meaningful; make mark: It's essential, to do all you can, to make your mark, for the better! What actions, results, and enhancements, might be, the most, personally motivating? Shouldn't this process, be, all about, truly, meaningful improvements, and enhancements, in your overall existence?

3. Attitude; aptitude; attention; action: Will you proceed, with a well - considered, positive, can - do, attitude? Are you ready, willing, and able to commit, to enhancing, in a relevant way, your personal aptitude, and skill - set, so you might pay keen attention, to the most important actions, you must take?

4. Growth; greater: Most of us, feel better, about ourselves, when, we consistently, undergo, meaningful, personal growth, which, both, actually, improves us, and we perceive, to do so! When your self - image, improves, you will begin to envision, a greater - you, and begin to act, in a more confident, efficient way!

5. Ego; excellence; efforts: Differentiate between, mere, ego, and genuine, self - confidence, and personal pride! Will you pursue, true excellence, instead of simply, taking the path of least resistance? How will you funnel, your efforts, so you become satisfied, in your personal value, and true, self - worth?

One's self - IMAGE, often, largely, determines his existence, and feeling of personal satisfaction, and achievement! Will you commit to doing, all you can, to become the best, you can be?

Here's some inspiring words from Jack Canfield

What's the Best Part of Your Day?

When's your favourite time, the best part of your day? When so many of us live full-on, busy lives, reaching our favourite, best part of the day can be akin to arriving at an oasis in the middle of the desert. It causes us to smile, breathe deeply and let go of all the stresses of the day.

At the start of lockdown I began taking a daily walk along the towpath near where I live. At first it was a sort of personal diary, taking photographs of the sunrise, beautiful scenery, the birds, wild flowers and then posting them onto social media. Over the weeks it's become a treasured, best part of the day for me. And others seem to enjoy it too.

Going out early morning means there are usually very few walkers, runners and cyclists around. It's lovely to sometimes exchange pleasantries with familiar faces or at other times have the towpath all to myself. And an early walk means I can manage the timing to avoid really wet weather, but also fit in with the other demands in my life. My walk is the motivation to get up and have some personal time, before I start the day well.

- Early risers often enthuse about going to bed early so they can get up and have time to meditate or get some fresh air before they start the day properly. For them, early mornings are the best time of the day. An early morning run, bike ride or visit to the gym gets their circulation moving, sets them up for the day and gives them personal time in order to start the day in a positive way.

- Equally, breaks throughout the day can be special times, providing the incentive to work and earn that reward. Going outside for a drink, maybe a catchup with friends or colleagues can give a welcome interlude during the day. It's good to be able to look forward to some time when you're able to reconnect with others or enjoy some quiet me time.

- In the midst of a difficult, complex or stressful time knowing you're due a breather can be a relief, provide respite and be the best part of the day. At those times you're able to pause, relax, ground yourself, maybe with some food or drink, or take a walk outside. That cup of tea, piece of fruit, few minutes with your eyes closed as you listen to music could offer an opportunity to reflect, clear your mind and then return feeling refreshed, stronger and ready to resume what you've set out to do.

- Is lunch looked forward to as a meaningful half-day marker, a time to sit, take a proper break and eat something tasty and nutritious? Maybe include time to read, have a short walk and enjoy doing something for yourself rather than hardly pausing as you race round town shopping and doing errands.

- For others, early evening is the best part of their day. There's the satisfaction of knowing that the day's tasks are finished for now. The journey home can be used as an opportunity to wind down, reflect on the evening ahead and look forward to seeing family, friends or maybe simply having relaxing alone time.

- Spending evenings with the children, being there for bathtime or reading them a bedtime story is often precious, much treasured time. The evening meal, cooking, walking the dog and feeling relaxed and satisfied as a busy day draws to a close is easily the best part of the day for many. All contributing to an 'end of day gathering' experience.

- Busy people often relax and enjoy the time when their children are tucked up in bed, when they're able to settle down with a drink, TV or have down time with their partner or friends. The prospect of an evening drink, conversation, leisurely bath as they close the door, kick off their shoes and wind down is understandably the best part of their day

For many of us there will be elements of each of these different times that intermittently cause us to relax, smile and feel that life is good. They can easily contribute to being viewed as the best part of the day. Which is your favourite?

How to Build a New Habit That ACTUALLY Sticks: 9 Steps to Form a Good Habit

 

https://youtu.be/KIJ-GQWSSC8

Here's some great advice about building and maintaining new habits

How Do You Do So Much?

I'm sure we've all had occasions when we've looked on in awe and wondered, perhaps out loud, how someone's able to fit in as much as they do. While we're still pondering tonight's dinner menu they may well have been to the gym, organised the food shop, made several important calls, volunteered at a local charity and completed an important piece of work.

How do they do so much?

- Being organised is the key to getting things done. Without organisation things can become too random, dipping in and out of tasks with very little focus or planning. Lists can be an efficient way of introducing order and method, so enabling things to be sorted by degree of urgency.

- Some things are too big or complicated to tackle in one go. Input or a contribution may be required from a third-party, so being efficient is about passing things on quickly so that each person can tackle their part. Keep an eye on what's going on and where individual tasks are up to.

- Delegating is a valuable tool in a busy life. Being precious and insisting on doing everything yourself may feel like an important position to protect, but not everything needs to be jealously guarded. Let others help, share in the story and maybe come up with new, even better ideas. It motivates everyone when they're included as part of the team.

- Don't wait for everything to be perfect before you start. There's no need to practice-run every possible scenario or set of circumstances in advance. Often things come together well enough once you begin. Allow your mindset to be flexible and receptive to different possibilities and enjoy where it takes you, unless it's one of those times when it's essential to follow very specific criteria.

- Double up. Some social arrangements could, under normal circumstances, potentially be combined. Eating out, seeing a show or concert and catching up with friends may successfully maximise your time and create almost a party atmosphere. Equally business networking combined with a game of golf pulls together two areas of life, as does exercising or enjoying a hobby with family or friends.

- Hire help. Certain routine or mundane tasks like ironing, cleaning and gardening may be worth outsourcing. It may be worth paying good money to free up your time for other things. Equally, tasks outside your area of expertise may be better done by someone else, rather than having you spend hours agonising over your accounts, admin or design work.

- Learn to say 'no' appropriately. When we work for ourselves or are new to a location, are keen to fit in and be accepted it can be tempting to say 'yes' and agree to everything. Sometimes we need to review what we're already committed to, or we may run ourselves ragged, trying to accommodate everything and everybody.

- Take regular breaks and recharge. A twenty-minute break gives enough time to eat a healthy snack, hydrate, maybe get outside for some fresh air. Often people find that they then return to work with a clearer mind and renewed enthusiasm for the job in hand.

- Remember to give yourself credit for each achievement. Rather than systematically working your way through your list, instead pause to appreciate each stage of the journey, every task completed.

And sometimes might it be relevant to ask yourself why you do so much, why you allow your time to be so fully occupied. Some people are constantly busy because they need to be in control and are loathe to pass on work to others for fear it may result in them being cut out of the loop, it may allow others to be seen to do a better job or have their mistakes and shortcomings discovered.

FOMO, fear of missing out, having something to prove, trying to be indispensable, not wanting to let go of the reins and filling every second with meaningful activity can all create their own stress.

But then, there are those people who are eager to try everything that's on the menu, can't wait to sample every option that's on offer. Whilst not wanting to dampen their enthusiasm too much, it's also important to take time to rest, savour, rehearse and make the best choices for you. Enjoy doing one thing at a time. You can always return another day and try a different delicacy.
