Happy Monday! Another week and and more goals to be completed. How are you doing with your self improvement? September is Self Improvement month. We have so much to do from the inside out that sometimes it can be stressful or over whelming. So let’s talk about doing the inside work.
Inside Job
Self Improvement is an inside job. This means even with well placed intentions outsiders can only offer suggestions on what they feel like you should fix. It’s about what you see value in fixing, as well as what you’re willing to put energy behind. So today and everyday it’s a personal choice to wake up and decide to work on you. You can work on the outside but I’ve known for my outside to work effortlessly when I did the work from the inside out!
On Top of It
Have you ever had those days when you are just “killing” it?! You get all of your to do done, good energy, etc? It’s an amazing feeling. No one wants to feel like they are missing the mark everyday. However we have to be real, as much as it feels good to be on top of it all, there are many days when it just doesn’t happen. You can’t get nothing done. You don’t your energy may be off, etc. It’s on those days where it matters the most to hold on to your sanity. I’ve had really deep bad days when those fleeting feelings are super overwhelming. You seem to only hold on to those feelings and it sucks to be honest! 
Shifting Your Energy
It takes a lot sometimes, but we have to shift our energy. Some days you might find you’re at the bottom of the barrel of emotions. I’ve had days when I felt like it was of gambit of emotions flooding me at the same time. It’s hard sometimes to press pass it. It takes a lot of remembering what you want in life and remembering how the many times you were able to come out of this feeling in the past. If you’re able to do it once, there is hope. It’s only when you’re unable to see hope that you feel stuck. I don’t want to be stuck or feel like you are stuck either. It’s a debilitating feeling if you stay in that spot! I need you to see the value that you have in coming out.
Work Your Plan
We all need a plan in life. You don’t want to wing it all of your life. Nothing just happens. It takes some work. It takes a lot of dedication, but it’s usually with a plan! We all have to plan. Plan to be healthy. Plan to be sound. Plan to be whole. Will plans change? Yes. Will life happen? Absolutely. This is when you take the plan and rework it but you push through and don’t give up!
Be An Original
It’s easy to follow the crowd and be a yes person. When you’re doing things for your personal development you have to know that being an original will happen when you realize who you are. A lot of people want to copy and paste out of convenience. I mean I like using it too but something about standing out in the crowd is where it’s at! It takes courage but it also well worth it.
Balance: Inside Work’s Best Friend
You know all goals always work best when you balance it all. You can do more when you’re not beating yourself up over what you need to do or want to do. I remember so many times being frustrated to the point that I caused more harm to the situation by not being able to balance the fact that if I should fail it was okay. It would work out. I was always so one sided with this over zealous need of success.
It’s one thing to want or desire success, but it’s another thing to not be able to fail and recover. My first time failing a test I thought I was going to die. I was having panic attacks and everything in-between. This was a small test of my early college days. As I got older, this lack of balance cost me more than a grade here and there.
I know life has been dealing more harsh realities than bad grades in college and lack of balance, but trust me we can’t give up? We can’t just simply not make the best decisions that we can! We got this-we got today! We got this week! Let’s make moves!
