"What you do has far greater impact than what you say." - Stephen Covey
In the past, the word "meditate" brought up pictures of people doing yoga in my head(lol). I don't know why. But thanks to reading and personal practice, I know better.
An important step to a successful personal growth journey through mediation is to identity your 'failure triggers'. What are the underlying triggers that impede or impact your desire to grow and/or succeed? While understanding these triggers is key, personal growth can not be achieved by that alone. It still requires some action on your part.
A key strategy for a successful personal growth journey and plan is to be aware of your past decisions, what influenced them, why you made them, and what strategies you can put in place to prevent you from falling back to those ways.
During my own time, my 'failure triggers' were fear of change, my pride, and anger.
Now, it's your turn. Time for you to take action and control over those triggers. Process them. Consider your actions and decisions in the past 1 - 2 months and the factors surrounding them. Do find yourself succumbing to those triggers I listed out? Are there more triggers of your own? Write down all your 'failure triggers', what influenced them, why you made them, and what strategies you can put in place to prevent falling back to them.
If you believe in affirmations(which you should), write down an affirmation for each trigger. Here's an example of mine to guide you:
"I know that I made ______ mistake because I was scared of people knowing that I was vulnerable. I am vulnerable because I am human. And I am strong because I know my weaknesses, and I will work through my weaknesses to become a stronger person."
Now, you can write all of yours down. You can write them differently than I did mine if you like, but the target is for you to be aware of the root of your choices and decisions so as to help you make better decisions in the future. So no pressure. Have fun while doing it. I look forward to seeing the changes in our future.
Have a great weekend!
