Full Version Episode 111 Features Abby Asistio. Singer and Songwriter, Alopecia Awareness Advocate with 24.9K Instagram Followers.
There aren't many instant successes. Most people must put in the effort, dedicate the time, and travel the distance. Your desire for success should drive you to push yourself harder, believing that one day you will succeed. Your perseverance sets you apart from the crowd. Perseverance is easier when you have a mental picture of where you want to go.
Similarly in life, we need to have a mental map of what we want to achieve and accomplish in both our personal and professional lives. A written down and clear vision helps you to be organized and it helps in aligning your short term-term and long-term goals and activities. What you want to achieve should be very clear in your mind then you find a way to get you from here to there.
When you require assistance, ask for it. Have a trusted good friend with whom you can talk, open up, and share your feelings. Sometimes just talking it out can help, it can also stimulate brainstorming for solutions and idea bouncing. Surround yourself with a network of supporters who will be your cheerleaders, such as family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors. This team will encourage, support, and cheer you on as you approach the finish line.
Take a moment to reflect on and appreciate the progress you have already made whenever you feel overwhelmed and anxious about how much work and time it will take to complete the big picture.
3. Motivating Yourself
Negative thoughts are the second worst offender of progress; inaction is the first offender of progress. Negative self-talk causes cancer to spread. When faced with disappointments, many people give up too soon. Negativity wishes for you to feel sorry for yourself and doubt your ability to succeed. Consider yourself in a positive and kind light.
Recognize everything you like about yourself. Everyone has something unique to contribute to the world. Avoid the trap of believing that if you fail at one thing, you will fail at everything. Struggles are an inevitable part of life.
