With all that have going on in our lives, we
tend to get caught up in distractions ,
disruptions, and diversions.
Most of the time we're so busy keeping up--or
catching up--that we're barely aware of the
way we're living our lives.
What if you can do something for an hour
every day that would change your life--
something that would give you the focus you
want, the control you want, the determination
you need?
Here is a simple practice that can do all that--
seriously.
Give it a try for a few days and see what
starts to happen. Then make it a daily
practice and change your life forever.
Set an alarm on your watch or phone to go off
at random times during the day. Every time
the alarm goes off, challenge yourself to raise
the bar. Stop, take a step back from whatever
you were doing, and ask yourself how you can
improve it.
If you're working on a project, ask yourself
how can you streamline the process.
If you're having a conversation, try to go
deeper.
If you're working out, work out harder.
If you're willing to devote an hour a day, the
simple act of challenging yourself to go
deeper to work harder will end up changing
your life forever. Here are a few of the most
significant ways:
1. It will give you more confidence.
Confidence comes from facing challenges and
beating them. When you spur yourself to work
harder and produce more, it actually makes
you more confident. Confidence comes when
you do something better than you did it before.
And, along with belief, it's what you most need
to succeed in life. Take your confidence and
own it.
2. It will push you past your limits. Our limits
are often only what we set upon ourselves--
the business we never started, the idea we
never put into a plan, the partnership we
never collaborated on. These are limitations
we have created. But when you can push
yourself past a limitation once, you will break
it for good.
3. It will make you more focused. If you
FOCUS (Follow One Course Until Successful),
you will succeed. When you learn to truly
focus your attention, your perceptions change;
your focus determines your reality. Once in a
while, when your alarm goes off, ask yourself
what task can you take off your to-do list, and
then make a call or complete a chore you've
been putting off.
4. It will open you up to new experiences. The
most common regret people have is that they
didn't do something because they were afraid.
For some alarms, challenge yourself to try
something new or to do something a different
way. When you experience something new,
you learn something new.
5. It will earn you respect. When you go above
and beyond what everyone else is doing, you
automatically stand out--especially if what you
do has quality, meaning, and impact.
6. It will help you find meaning. When you
connect with your work, you connect with the
passion behind it--and that connection will
infuse everything you do with new meaning.
What can it hurt?
Take this small challenge for a day. Who
knows? It just might change your life forever. Source: Inc.COM
