HOW MINOR EFFORTS CAN BRING ABOUT MAJOR AND MIRACULOUS CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE.
A BRIEF DISCUSSION OVER ENHANCING LIFESTYLE AND ABANDONING THE IDEA THAT GLORIFIES UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE
- Recognize the opportunity at hand. The Internet has fundamentally changed everything. Previously, knowledge was locked away in the minds of industry experts and in the pages of books that you needed to buy or check out from a library. But now, it’s easier than ever to learn new skills. This is essential to becoming the best version of yourself.
- Write on Medium. Translating your thoughts into written narratives pushes you to think about the ideas in your head at a much deeper level.
- Don’t count the hours. They don’t matter. Think about the last time you ran on a treadmill. If you looked down at the timer every few seconds, you probably didn’t enjoy your run. In turn, this made it far more difficult to run far. But what if you took the opposite approach? You plugged in your headphones, lost yourself in the music, and took it one stride at a time….while resisting any temptation to look at the timer at all. If you did this, you probably discovered that you enjoyed the run and made it pretty far. Counting hours just slows you down from reaching your goal.
- Accept help from other people. Don’t let your pride get in the way. Most successful people needed help along the way, too.
- Ignore the social media scoreboard. People depict an extremely exaggerated version of life on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social platforms. We only share the good things, not the bad. So when you compare yourself to what you see on social media, you’re just hurting yourself.
- Celebrate the small wins. Appreciating what you’re doing in the present gives you the motivation to keep making strides towards your ultimate goal.
- Stop pretending to know things you don’t know. You’ll never learn anything if you pretend to already know everything.
