In the last articles we talked about the difficulty of breaking bad habits and to finally decide to change our life.
We said that our mind is used to procrastinate, to put things off until tomorrow and that, as we we can't see any immediate results we easily lose motivation.
So our mind will postpone that change, that goal, thinking tomorrow will be easier.
"We think we will have more time to focus on it properly, cause tomorrow is a hazy point in the future and therefore you don't have to worry about it." ( read the article here )
Our life distracts us, makes us put thing off until tomorrow, giving us the illusion we'll always have tomorrow to achieve our dreams and to change our bad habits.
But todays is tomorrow's yesterday.
Some days ago we wrote an article about breaking bad habits and create new good ones to change our life for the better and achieving our goals. We said that it's not easy - at all - to break a bad habit because 99% of cases you need to wait to see results, and if they don't come fast, it's easy to feel like giving up and to break those new good ones we were starting to create.
Another thing that prevents us from changing our life and achieving our goals is DISORGANIZATION .
We have a very busy life, many things to do, and it seems to us we don't have enough time for what's important, for what we want.
For example, some of you will tell us: "I don't work-out, though I'd want to, because I don't have time to do it ".
Nothing more wrong.
It's summer, time to enjoy the beaches, to travel and discover new adventures, and relax.
We personally love summer break, it is the best time of year to spend days and nights with friends, organize a holiday, and to enjoy barbecues, picnics and pool parties.
In conclusion, definitely time to take a break from stress and to have more time to yourself, and ..
maybe time to make some new year's resolutions to try to finally
change your life and achieve your goals.
In fact what better time than the beginning of Autumn to decide to change your life and make your dreams and goals come true?
Every time we make our new year's resolutions, we say we're gonna change our life forever and we really believe we can achieve everything we want.
But.. 90% of the cases we fail. Our efforts and sacrifices end in failure. Every year we promise we are going to change, we say that we are going to improve, and get better organized. Every year we end up exactly the same.
How many times have you heard the cliche "The grass is greener on the other side"? And how many times have you looked at someone else's life, feeling envious? Every day we see so many people, online or in real life, that always seem to have more and better than us. It's a matter of fact that we always tend to compare ourselves to others and often feel like there is that we're missing.
We've already talked about this last week, reflecting on another common cliche "Comparison is the thief of joy".
The truth is we always want what we don't have and always look across the fence to the proverbial "other side". We waste our time whining about why everyone else's grass seems greener than ours, and we don't see that maybe the reason is that we haven't watered our patch well enough.
"Comparison is the thief of joy". Who said that clearly couldn't see it coming. He could never imagine that one day people all around the world would spend hours of their time, phone in hand, scrolling through their Instagram feed: one amazing photo after another; perfect bodies; perfect faces; perfect houses; amazing memories of someone else's life. This is what Instagram and the other socials daily offer us. With an extra opportunity to feel incredibly, amazingly, ridiculously unhappy.
"Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts. Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worst. We try to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see. It's the soul that needs the surgery"
(Beyonce - Pretty Hurts)
Those who know us well know we aren't anti social medias. We use them and enjoy posting photos on our personal accounts. We also like scrolling through the feed and seeing all those inspiring photos in the profiles of people we really admire: muas, yogis, actresses and singers, gym lovers, even models. But inspirational photos are really inspiring only when they come with inspiring messages.
