Let’s have an honest conversation about the bad habits you just can’t break. If you’ve been trying for *years* to break a bad habit, but have been unsuccessful, here’s a place you can start.
Sit back, I’ll ask you to go deep. 1/
Here’s the thing...If you are working for *years* to break a habit unsuccessfully, it’s because that “bad habit” is serving a purpose in your life.
...yes, it’s actually doing something you are getting value from at some level. 2/
Finding out what that purpose & function is of that habit, is key to resolving it.
All "bad" entrenched habits are like this - even procrastination, micromanaging, workaholism, etc. 3/
A lot is said about the traits that make people successful...but what isn’t talked as much about, is what can sink you.
Here’s a thread on the specific things that hold people back - Use the weekend to reflect, make some changes if needed, and pull yourself ahead. 1/
Excuse-Making. If you make it or don’t make it, it’s ultimately on you.
Yes, many have circumstances that make it easier or harder...but people who come up with endless reasons why things don’t work or can’t work - instead of finding solutions - won’t make it. 2/
Not Executing…Regularly. You can have the best ideas in the world, but if you don’t actually do something about them, you won’t go anywhere.
Be a doer. It takes executing on things *regularly* to get ahead, because if you’re not, be assured other people are. 3/
Burnout is a response to overwhelming stress. It’s emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion - it’s no joke, and can sideline you for far too long.
Here’s a weekend thread to help you catch it early 1/
Getting cynical, pessimistic, or finding yourself more irritable? The first signs are usually mood related.
If you’re a boss, look for it. It’s not always that your employees “have poor morale” Sometimes...they’re overwhelmed. 2/
Other signs are often around anxiety & productivity.
You’re starting to tank & you feel it. You’re not meeting deadlines you used to. You feel stressed out, anxious & have a hard time concentrating. Your body is looking for breaks, you’re tired, and trying to push through. 3/
