So we have said goodbye to
2018 and are starting afresh in 2019. I
hope that your festive season went well and without any hitches. So let us begin this New Year with a few tips
about making progress in my 7 Top Tips
To Make Personal Progress.
Tip
#1 Take Action Every Day – if like me you have made a list of
goals, for the New Year, then it is important to take some sort of action every
day in the direction of those goals. At
the end of each month you can review all the actions you have taken so that you
will be able to see what is working and adjust anything that is not working for
you.
Tip #2 Slay Your Dragon
First –
it is possible that there are going
to be things about this new direction you have chosen that you will not like
doing. So my advice would be to set an
intention that you are going to do these things first and then you can move on
to doing those things that you do like to do.
Tip #3 Delayed
Gratification
– as a natural follow on from Tip 2 we humans actually possess an inbuilt
ability to delay gratification, so why not utilise that “skill” on a daily
basis? It means that you have always got
the pleasurable things to look forward to.
Tip #4 Beware the “Nay
Sayers”
– these are your goals, you have chosen to set them for your own personal improvement.
It is quite possible that other people will try to stop you achieving
them. Be on your guard and do not let
these other people talk you out of them and bring your progress to a halt!
Tip #5 “Done Is Better
Than Perfect” –
I used to fall into this trap with amazing regularity. I would always strive to make the job
“perfect” and because of that I would become hyper critical and that would be
counter productive because I would, in reality, waste so much time on this that
I ran out of time to work on getting things I wanted to done and finished. I suddenly realised one day (after watching
some of the Lavendaire videos),
that it is actually the opposite that
helps you to make significant progress.
It is important to do things to the best of you ability but it does not
have to be perfect every time.
Tip #6 “You Are The
Master Of Your Thoughts” – How many times do you suddenly find yourself “day
dreaming” about something totally random?
The chances are that these day dreams have absolutely nothing to do with
your task in hand. Therefore, when you
catch yourself in this situation, mentally tell these thoughts that they are
not part of your grand plan, they have no purpose being there at this time, so you
are going to go straight through them.
You
are the Master Of Your Thoughts, you are the person in control of the thoughts
in your head.
Tip #7 “The Power Of
Thoughts”
– following on from the above statement about being the Master of Your Thoughts
you can also add the belief statements that:-
“My Good Thoughts Are
Very Powerful” and “All My Negative Thoughts Are Very Weak”
In
addition to all of the above points, I have personally found that it is very
useful to have someone who holds you to account and keeps you on track. This can be a friend or relation to whom you
report on your progress towards you goals.
Having them watching over you as you move forwards can be extremely
useful (although it can sometimes be a bit of a nuisance) – especially if you
want to go for a cream tea when one of your goals is to lose a stone in weight!
