Emotions Come From Within

Emotions Come From Within

Outside forces donā€™t make us feel things, our perceptions of them do. Itā€™s easy to think otherwise, but doing so harms us and undermines our self-discipline.

The next time you run into an obstacle and feel resistance, donā€™t look at whatā€™s around you. Instead, look within.

The People You Respect

The People You Respect

Whatever you do, there are individuals that you can learn from. If you canā€™t talk to them, you can study their story, works, techniques, successes, and failures, and discover patterns of success you can apply to your life.

Be careful not to turn it into an exercise of comparison and expect your progress to be the same as theirs. Their teachings and principles are supposed to help you grow, learn, and create.Ā

Read Purposefully

Read Purposefully

The purpose of education isn't just to internalize knowledge, but to spark action and facilitate wiser decisions.

Books give you the knowledge, but only applying it will yield its real value. Reading prepares your mind, even helps you avoid foolish mistakes, but it must result in action: a failure, maybe a success, or a lesson.

Be Honest With Yourself

Be Honest With Yourself

Itā€™s hard to change habits if you arenā€™t aware as to why you donā€™t do what youā€™re supposed to. Being mindful of the urges that obstruct us from showing up, engaging, committing, and being present is the first step in changing.

Thoroughly investigate your thoughts, actions, and emotions.Ā When you feel resistance, use that as a cue to go forward. This practice of self-awareness gets stronger the more you use it.

Avoid Procrastination

Avoid Procrastination

We werenā€™t born to feel good all the time, but to do and experience things. When you are tempted to procrastinate, remember that youā€™re going against your nature and harming yourself by indulging in it.

Work and relaxation are necessary parts of life, and if you feel like procrastinating too much, you likely have an issue of habit or compatibility with the work you have. Meaning you have to do something in order to reestablish that balance in your life.

Be Present

Nowadays we overindulge in distractions and fail to be mindful. As a result, we end up missing moments of contemplation, connection, and enjoyment.Ā Being present and being well alone are habits you have to make time to get good at. To do it:Ā 

  • Be ruthlessly present in everything you do.
  • Separate a moment of your day to just sit and be still.
  • Put your phone on vibrate so thereā€™s no interruption.
  • Take a few deep breathes and reflect on your day.

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!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
