The truth about confidence - By Nocturnal
Finished reading it? Good, now its my turn to get started.
I am going to list 2 ways for you to improve yourself, use them both.
Kaizen
You guys have propably heard of this before, if not im going to share with you one of the biggest life changing concepts i have ever taken to heart. This definition has been taken from an online dictionary.
When you have finished reading this post i want you to find a small notebook which would fit in your pocket, once you have done this i wnat you to put todays date up the top of the first page. Now go on through the day as you would any day, but after each event in your day i want you to write a couple of words that will help you remember what you did that day and some key areas of improvement.
For example: Right now i am sitting on the computer, once i am finished doing this i will whip out my notebook and write down "Was on computer" and later on when i look at this it will remind me of this time.
Now do this for everything in the day, no matter how insignificant it may seem, things like "Talked to family for a few minutes" and "Caught a bus to school" should all be included, you should be able to look at that notebook and be able to remember everything about your day. You do remember everything in a day it just takes some written words to remind you of what happend and when it happened.
So you have your whole day written in your notebook, what now? Well before you go to bed you have to look through the book and consider how you could have improved in each of those situation, you are not perfect you cant have a perfect situation every time. Theres always a place to improve.
For example: The other time when i was at the computer(which is now), i should have sat with better posture, concentrated harder on my writing, not spent so much time on the computer and doen something of more importance, etc, etc, etc.
So you understand Kaizen now, i can gaurantee you that if you use this alone then you will start whoing improvements in every part of your life in a matter of weeks maybe even days if you catch on quickly.
Self speculation
This tactic is used in conjunction with Kaizen to produce excellent results. When you are reading your Kaizen journal you will frequently find yourself saying "I should have used my time more effiecently" but what could you have done instead of what it was you were wasting your time on? Well this is where self speculation can be of some use.
I want you to sit down and write down some key areas you want to improve on, and then i want you to find effective ways to improve upon them. You should have a pretty long list, there you go, you have an entire list to get through..
You should always have something to improve on.
Now we have covered ways how you should go about improving yourself lets give you some things to actually improve upon. I can't possibly cover everything there is to improve upon, you are the best judge of your own situation. Only you know what you truely need to improve upon, but here are alot of things you can improve on as well.
