A feedback loop for your motivation
We can learn from our own experience and find ways to improve. Repeat the following questions to yourself over time.
- What did I achieve today, and how can I better it?
- What should I continue doing, what should I stop, and what new activities should I add?
- What are my fears?
- What are my strengths?
- Do my strategy and tactics work or do I need to re-evaluate my choices?
- Are my choices aligned with my principles and values?
- What do my close friends and family feel about it?
With time, you will notice a transformation in how you approach new goals.
