Are you bringing out your best self?

make that happen.

So many of us expect ourselves to change behaviour without changing our underlying mindset and attitude. This is very difficult. Relying on discipline alone to get things done doesn’t normally sustain. Beating yourself up for your failures will not inspire lasting positive change.

If we want ourselves to do things consistently like exercise it is much easier if we choose something we love or focus on the amazing feeling we get after it. We may have to explore several things to find that. Doing something because it is a good thing to do is not normally satisfying over time.

If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you will get the same results you have always gotten. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Many of us go through our lives thinking the same thing or something similar and expecting a different result.

If you really want to be at your best, it is important that you bring the best of yourself to every situation. We all have a best self and we have a range of other aspects! We all know this. Even our tone of voice changes depending on which aspect of us is coming out.

So today, whatever you are doing, check yourself before you open your mouth or act. Are you bringing your best self ? If you are, keep going. If you are not, dig a little deeper and find him or her. You and everyone around you will be all the better for it.
