Self-Discipline Is the Key to Freedom

If you have been to bet how commonly the average character tries earlier than giving up, what would be your bet? 1, 2, or 3 times? The majority of people surrender before they even attempt. They spend so much time intention setting and preparing, that they forget the most critical a part of the plan: discipline. The biggest false impression approximately field is it's far something you have. Actually, the area is something you do. In your commercial enterprise, discipline is shedding habits that preserve your commercial enterprises returned, such as immoderate time on social media and fact television; and constructing up behavior that carries you towards success, including private development, prospecting, and income. Strengthening your self-discipline can be in comparison to building up a robust accept as true with the fund for your future. How some distance are you willing to head to accumulate that agree with the fund? Self-Discipline is a Skill Self-Discipline is not a

Short Term Wins

The 8 Step Kotter Model of Change Management is a gold mine of leadership. 

We will address all the Steps, but I am starting at Step 6 because that is what came to me today.

There is value in creating and celebrating short term wins, while on the journey to long term sustainable gains. 

This celebration is not a distraction, it is an enabler of the right behaviors. Winning behaviors. 

Celebrating short term wins, incentivizes winning, and winning is why we are in the game.

Long term gains cannot be reached without short term wins. Why? 

1. Not everyone will reach the long term, but everyone needs to feel it is worth trying.
2. Long term commitment is by itself, hard work.
3. People repeat what is celebrated. Willingly or unwillingly. What people repeat, is culture.

It is thus shocking when I see leaders get scared of celebrating short term wins, using the excuse of maintaining a sense of urgency. I agree, a sense of urgency is always required, but if you get stuck in a sense of urgency, you better be building a Fire Service Department.

As a leader, you cannot afford to always bring, promote and incentivize a "burning platform" syndrome. Sometimes, it is the dance floor that should be burning with the dancing shoes of your team. 

In the long run, the long term goals change.
In the short term, there should be signposts that you are in the right direction.

As you journey along, you are allowed to raise your hands up in a "V" at predetermined signposts and then put them back down and get on the grind.

Create and celebrate short term wins, but don't let up.

GET THE LOOK: the outfit I’ve been loving

Image
Hello everyone, Today we have another different post. I’m not really one who is in crazily fashion but I do love shopping and buying new clothes (who doesn’t?). After finding a new app that I am obsessing over "21 buttons" (follow me: lifeofellabella) I was inspired to share with you one of my most worn outfits at the moment. Primark is the place to be in terms of affordable fashion. The only issue with everything being “cheap” is that you fill your basket “because it’s cheap” and then get to the till and it’s no longer that cheap, anyone relate? Full Look Dont mind me and my awkward pose trying to be a model...(cringing badly right now). Everything apart from the bag is from Primark and I personally think this outfit looks much more expensive than £25 (including shoes). I paired the outfit with these boots, which for me are something very different and out there. I am very much a comfy flats kinda girl but when I saw these I feel in love. They just add something unique to th

The Key to Retirement

Now is the time to consider what all and sundry may do in another way in a new 12 months to help us move ahead in lifestyles. For a few, it's miles operating out. For a few, it's miles consuming less. And for some, it might be saving more for his or her retirement. I have watched many a success people through the years and the only component I see them doing higher than the relaxation comes down to one phrase: discipline. Discipline is an important thing for retirement. Without it, you'll not store enough. Without it, you will spend an excessive amount of what you do shop. And without it, you may maximum in all likelihood not be as satisfied as those who have it. Just consider what you ate over the past weeks. There became in all likelihood multiple days in which you had a donut for breakfast, a cookie at 10 a.M., a heavy lunch with pals, chips for a snack at 3 p.M., a heavy dinner with own family, and a bowl of ice cream before mattress. After all that, how did you fee

The Big Dangers of Belly Fat

Many people want to whittle their midsections to look better and fit into that next-size-down pair of pants. But reducing belly fat brings many more benefits than just aesthetics — you could be significantly reducing your health risks. Although getting to, and maintaining, a healthy weight is important for a number of reasons, belly fat reduction is particularly crucial. BELLY FAT CULPRITS The major contributor causing your belly to get more abundant than you’d like is what you eat, says Dr. David Ludwig, a professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Sugary food, including highly processed fare, can cause a blood-sugar spike that triggers an insulin release throughout the body. Over time, that creates the need for this energy to get stored if it’s not used — and the body’s favorite storage area is the belly. Fat around your midsection can also get stored due to high levels of cortisol, the hormone responsible for your stress response. Getting too little sle
