If you want a better life, stop complaining and start doing this instead↓

Begin extracting one lesson from each week - whether it be from positive events or…not so positive events…pick a day to assess the previous 7 days.

I’m sure that you could identify more than one, but just try to focus on one PRIMARY lesson - the one that was the MOST impactful or influential. The most deep-seated; the one with the most potential to facilitate your growth and pull you forward.

Take an honest look - try not to get upset or frustrated with everything that’s happened; all of the mishaps and delays; all of the burdens and setbacks that resulted - just become a student of your own experiences.

And if you feel yourself heating up, tearing up, or recognize any other emotion rising in your body, practice emotional resilience.

Addressing an emotion as you begin to experience it increases self-awareness and your handling of emotions on the future (i.e. by creating space for you to CHOOSE whether react / how to respond)…

This is an extremely beneficial tool for growth. 

I challenge you to reflect each week with genuine intent for growth - not criticism or simply to complain - something we ALL like to do every now and again, ya know, being human and all.

All of this will help to improve your confidence, self-efficacy, self-trust, and self-esteem—the KEY ingredients to TRUE TRANSFORMATION - physical, mental, or otherwise.

Go into this week with an intentional lens through which to see all the small mishaps, inconveniences, & other unfavorable circumstances (which will inevitably occur).

1️⃣ Take note - on paper, your phone, whatever.

2️⃣ At the end of the week, filter through your collection of experiences. Can you identify a common theme or are they just a random conglomeration of moments and/or events?

3️⃣ Extract the lesson that life is trying to teach you.

4️⃣ Share what you find. Knowledge and wisdom is meant to be shared.

And, of course, never stop learning; never stop growing.
