Practice Negative Visualization

Practice Negative Visualization

It consists of anticipating the worst so that we can adequately prepare ourselves for the challenges that lie ahead.

The idea behind this practice is not to keep worrying or have a pessimistic approach but toย stay prepared for the future.

In addition, visualizing worst-case scenarios makes us feel more grateful for what we possess and for the people we love.

Practice Deliberate Discomfort

Practice Deliberate Discomfort

Many of us in modern society live in relative comfort, so voluntary discomfort is a true reminder of how good we really have it.

Just because you can afford a nice meal every single day, doesn't mean you should do so.

The best time to practice voluntary discomfort is in the mornings. For example by starting the day with a cold showerย or by decluttering from social media.

Journaling

Journaling

Journaling allows us to think more clearly and cures anxiety and depression.

It is an opportunity to articulate your thoughts, reflect on how you handle different situations, and clarify how you wish to approach life.

By writing and reading your own experiences you remind yourself of the things you have learned and provide a tool for yourself to realign with the person you want to become.

You can start this practice by putting aside just 5 minutes in the morning to write whatever bothers your mind.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
