To utilize your brain to better your life Think about:
Commitments:
Talent:
Priorities:
Failure:
Stating no:
Rules:
Commitments:
We all bear commitments. Commitments are a part of life. When you have commitments, you move into promises that you'll get something done. Begin making commitments to you. I commit to alter habits that impede me from accomplishing my goals, or bettering my life. If you commit to it, be sure to see it through. You develop integrity when people know they can depend on you
Talent:
Evaluate your talents to see how you are able to use them to better your life. While you're evaluating your talents, look for fresh skills. Reach deep within you, accept the irritations, fears, or things you don't like, look past them and discover fresh skills. How can you use your talents more? What skills can you learn? What things are you interested in that you can pursue?
Priorities:
Do you have your priorities correct? Do you have all your plans in position? Reassess your plans to make certain that you're on the correct path to better your life. If you notice areas you are able to better, don’t be afraid to take action. Taking action is the best step you'll take in anything you do that helps to better your life.
Failure:
How do you consider failure? Failure inverted is accomplishment. Failure is basic and happens to all us every day. Failure helps us to discover how to evolve and grow into a better individual. If you sit around stressing failure, then you're heading nowhere fast. Failure is a component of life. Learn from your failures, swallow your blame and move to make matters better for you.
Don't Overbook or Over promise:
Individuals hear the word "no" and dread it. No isn't a rejection; rather it is a positive action you take to spare your time to come. When you have to tell someone no, you're being honest about the situation. If you make a commitment and then are unable to fulfill it you have let yourself down as well as the person you committed to. Occasionally you have to be honest and decline activities or favors for those you care about. For example, you might have to tell your friends "no" when he or she asks you to watch TV when you know you have to study. It's all right to state "no".
Rules:
We all abide by rules. Rules are a part of life, which occasionally the rules are difficult to digest. You have to learn to digest them anyhow unless you're willing to rise and protest in a positive way. Individuals sounding off about rules they don’t like and not taking action is wasting everyone’s time. If you are having a hard time following the rules of your household, take action and talk to your parents about it. Don't just retaliate. Show them that you are responsible enough to discuss the matter.
You have many choices in life. Great choices and foul options will come your way every day. Occasionally you'll make poor choices, yet when you make errors, don’t dwell rather pull out your resources to see how you may have done things different, and do it different the next time.
