Your Competition Is You.
Once you start understanding the meaning of this golden phrase & start following this mantra, you become a better you every single day. But how do you compete with yourself? How often can you do that? How do you really decide which version is better?
Today, I am going a bit off track because I have been to wanting to write about this for a long time. Mostly because I wanted to share my experience with you.
I count myself as a hard-working and passionate person when it comes to my goals. Yet gloomy days can take anyone down. But I have a sure shot way to come out of those gloomy thoughts with some tips. I have found a way to self motivate myself every single time I find myself procrastinating.
Stop Procrastinating: Get Up & Get Going
You have been too much into hibernation. Get up now & hit the road. It’s never too late. You can still make it. You are not too young or too old. There are people doing it despite several hurdles. Starting a beauty and makeup blog of mine, while being into the IT sector for about 10 years, was definitely something, a bit unexpected from me. I opted for something I was secretly passionate about.
Passion is the key. As long as you have it, you are good.
Admit When You Are Wrong
I cannot stress enough on the importance of learning from your own mistakes, because when someone else tells you that you are mistaken, you might not respond very well to that. Here is a tweak, if you find it hard to accept your mistake in front of others, don’t do it straight away. Take some time, accept it in your mind and heart. Think out ways to get out of it. Take things slowly. Start working on the things that could make up for your mistake. It works really well with me.
Get Out Of Your Cocoon
Things might be wrong, but until you start accepting them they are going to stay like that. Accept your mistake or defeat & get out of your shell with a plan B. If plan B fails, don’t worry, we have more alphabets. It’s only about trying harder. In life, we see ups and downs, but they are never constant. Stay ready for everything.
Face Your Fear
Everybody has them. Some are less bothered while some make a lot of deal out their fears. The first step is to live your fear as often as possible to get it out of your mind. Because it’s all in your mind. I am not asking to pull off stunts like X-factor or Khatron Ke Khiladi here, but something more practical, like approaching people if you are really shy. Yes, it could be as simple as that and as crucial as that.
For me, the biggest fear was to come in front of the camera being of introvert nature. But I am dealing with it by facing it every now and then. I am only getting better with every try.
Pat Your Back
Only you owe to yourself. And only you know the taste of your success. Celebrate your victories no matter how small they are as much as you want to fuel up yourself for the next journey. Your efforts pay at the end, and you deserve that cheerful “YES”.
Help Others, Inspire Others
It feels so great whenever you help someone in need. It gives immense pleasure and makes you realize you have capabilities beyond your imagination. Plus it always pays you back. Good things come to those who do good things to others selflessly.
I will be honest with you, I might never approach someone first to congratulate someone on their success, but I would definitely be the first person, in case he needs help.
Express Gratitude
The most powerful ingredient to be a better person is to express gratitude with every single thing you receive no matter how small it
is. Your feelings are powerful. They attract alike things. If you are happy & saying thank you, you will receive more happiness. Wonderful no?
I mean every single word I wrote.
Tell me how far have you come to be a better you?
Much Love ❤
