Let's be honest (getting 'it' together) - Motivational monday!
Welcome to Motivational Monday! Today I’m going to talk about Getting ''It'' Together. This is going to be part one of my 3 part mini series that I'm calling Getting ''It'' Together. I will be talking about getting back on track with life, basically an adulting series. I was
starting to create terrible habits that were causing me to self-sabotage, and
not getting the tasks done I needed to do. The moment I realized this was
happening, was when I asked myself the question: ‘'Ok, what is most important
to me?’’ I got very clear ideas of where I wanted to be, and what I wanted to
be working towards. Once I knew what that was, I then took a step back and said
‘’Ok, where is all my time going?’’ That was when the earth shattered for me.
That’s when I said to myself ‘’These are all the things I want to harvest out
of my life, but this is what I’m doing with the time that I have. I’m wasting
it watching TV, I’m wasting it procrastinating online and I’m wasting it on my
phone. I’m wasting it doing things, or putting off things that I know I should
be doing right now. The little monkey inside my head just wants to have fun,
and do the easy option and get the easy way out.’’ I was putting off all of
things I knew I should be doing, and then beating myself up for not doing these
things. All that fun stuff just kept me in that negative mindset, keeping me
going on and on in this forever cycle. I could ramble on about how this all
came to be but long story short… If you’re reading this and resonating with
anything I just said, then these are the tips and tricks that I’ve been taking
to ‘’Get ''it'' together’’…
''Honesty is the best policy''
The first step is to be extremely honest with yourself
because it’s not going to do you any good if you’re not. You need to find where
your problems lie. Your problems could be that you are feeling uninspired,
unhappy, unmotivated … Whatever it is figure it out, what is your issue? What
are you feeling? Why are you feeling that way? Be clear on your bad habits like
sleeping through your alarm, procrastinating things to the very last day or not
eating healthy. No matter what your bad habits are even if it’s in terms of
socialising, if your wanting to work on the relationships in your life or you're
wanting to grow the amount of people you are around every day. The amount of
people that make an influence on you or the amount of people that influence
you. If you want to grow and expand your relationships, but you notice you have
terrible social habits. Even that is clarifying that, this is where I’m going
wrong! This is what my problem is! Like I said a good way to do this is to
establish what it is you're trying to work towards for your life, and then take a
step back. Evaluate what am I spending my time on? First and foremost, you
can’t fix the problem if you don’t find the problem.
Finding Inspiration & your Alter-Ego
Which lead me into step number two, and this is always the
best part about getting your life back on track and that getting inspired!
Tying that back into the last point I just made, if you have no idea what your
drive and focus wants to be towards. If you have no idea what goals you want to
set for yourself, or what kind of life you want to be living. Maybe that is why
you feel like you’re wasting your time, then look around and find somebody
that’s living a life you are envious of.
I’m not saying envious in a bad way because jealousy that’s a whole
other topic I could talk about in another post. I just mean who is slaying it
at life? Who do you look at and go, ‘’God damn I wish I had that life!’’ or ‘’I
wish I was doing those things.’’ It could Beyoncé, it could be your next-door
neighbour or it could be living a happy and content life just being married
with a family. It could be someone travelling the world, it could be someone in
Films or it could be anybody. Find someone whom you say to yourself ‘’that is
exactly the life I want to lead’’ or ‘’those are the morals I want to live
by.’’ Figure out the life, the morals and personality traits you want to
acquire. I wish I was the type of person who … and fill in that blank. Once
you’ve come up with this alter ego, whoever’s life it was you were envious of.
You could even start from scratch and create your own name, create your own
alter ego and say; ‘’this is my alter ego, this version of me is the person
who…’’ It’s a no-brainer really I know
I’m going to do the things, that make me that person. This sounds ridiculous
and far too easy but it does work.
