Hi friends!
Lately with how our world works today, all our nitty bitty busy schedules, we tend to forget about ourselves as we go on auto-pilot with life. I'd like to bring us back in the moment of now.
I'd like to begin a series of threads that would tackle the main issues and views on how self improvement should be seen as. Consider this thread as our Non Zero Days thread. Now you my friend. Slumping over your keyboard confused as to what I'm blabbering about might probably be asking, "Hey Carré, what's a zero day?"
Zero days are the days where time feels like it just flew past you, and you could reflect back on the choices and decisions you've made during the day, and not find a single thing you've done beneficial to you, or you just brutally wasted your day. Well guess what?
Yes! We won't be having any of these days no more. And we'll start slow. Here's how we're going to do this:
I want you to go back into your thinking shell, and think about all those long term goals you'd like to achieve. Write them down somewhere, its very important for you to do so. Next, based on those long term goals you've thought of, I want you to think of the short term goals you'd like to achieve. Write these down. The long term goals are going to be from either 5+, 10+ or 20+ yrs in the future. Your short term goals should be REALISTIC goals you could achieve in the coming months and towards the next 2-3 years.
With every coming day, you should at least do 1 thing that would help you achieve these goal. No matter how small that action could be, you should do it.
For example, let's say he have Guled who's always wished he could get better at push ups. His friends are somehow perfect at them, and he can barely do 1. Guled being a smart guy as he is, reads on this thread, reflects on his goals, and chooses to tackle these problems. He promises himself that he would try to do n+1 push ups each day, n being the total number of correct push ups he was able to do the day before. He practices for months on end, and by the end of the year, he's able to do as many push ups as his friends can.
Short term goal achieved!!
Please note that this doesn't only have to apply to fitness and exercise. It could also apply to your education, to your skill sets, to your career, to literally anything, That's the beauty of Non Zero Days!!
This thread shall serve as a sort of 'check-in' where I'll hopefully expect everyone to share what they've done to avoid a zero day.
In my coming threads in the future, I plan on tackling Forgiveness, the different YOU's, Breaking bad habits and Exercise.
Let's get this rolling!
