I believe that productivity without self compassion is harmful. I'm big on: ✨ progress not perfection ✨self compassion over self criticism ✨humans not robots And what I've noticed consistently with the life map community is that the people who talk about self compassion are the most successful. They skip a day and bounce back more easily because they know that human beings aren't perfect and everyone misses days once in a while (sometimes it's weeks, occasionally you might fall off for a month). They treat themselves with ?? kindness and adopt an experimenters mindset. ☀️ Approach your "productivity" with a strong sense of self compassion - the research (ala Kristin Neff) shows that you'll be far better off for it. ☀️ If you want to get a @lifemapcollective daily planner to level up your life, the bonus offer is running out.

A *vivid* memory that I have is of me sitting on my old grey couch, looking at my list of intentions for the year that I hadn't moved forward on (at all), and thinking "I'm just someone who can't stick to stuff."⠀ ⠀ I was a person that was always setting a bunch of intentions - then never taking any action. As a sidenote: That's SO far from my reality now that it feels weird to even write.⠀ ⠀ I was low-key terrified that I would never achieve *any of the things*. I would lay awake at night with a lot of ideas (never bloody short on ideas ?) - but then I'd get home after work or wake up on the weekend and not take any action.⠀ ⠀ Looking back, I wasn't inherently flawed, I wasn't incapable, I wasn't this person that could never follow through on stuff.⠀ ⠀ I was approaching my intentions all wrong.⠀ ⠀ When I made a commitment to switch up my approach - things started changing. ⠀ ⠀ It wasn't a quick change (I'll talk about small steps being key for the rest of my life, watch me)⠀ ⠀ But the more I reflected and changed up my approach, the more success I started to see, the more consistent I became and the more my internal beliefs started to support the life I wanted to create.⠀ ⠀ Through the changes I made, I achieved a bunch of things. I out-earned my day job, started tackling big fears, launched, got rid of time suckers to create focus, got my financial life together and started creating healthier habits, routines and rituals that had felt wildly out of reach in the past.⠀ ⠀ But most importantly... I created a really freaking strong belief that I'm someone that follows through. Which matters *so much more* than any achievement.⠀ ⠀ Based on all of my changes I made in thinking and acting, I created a system focused on helping people to bring those changes to life.⠀ ⠀ ? And it's going to be available in daily planner form really freaking soon ?⠀ ⠀ The Life Map *Daily* is coming soon ...⠀ ⠀ ...and it’s going to be a life changer ??⠀ ⠀ KEEP AN EYE OUT

If you get in to the practice of following these steps every time you: ☀️ Don't stick to a habit you set out to do ☀️ Have an idea / project that flops ☀️ Don't achieve your goals ☀️ Don't stay consistent or follow through Your life is going to look wildly different in a years time. ✨ 1. Practice self compassion and self-kindness. Mess ups happen to EVERYONE. We all fail, don't do the things we set out to do, have bad days and bad weeks. Repeat after me (or complete your own self compassion journalling exercise) "This is a moment of struggle. Everyone experiences this. I'm not alone. I need to be patient and kind to myself as I grow. I'll work through this." ✨ 2. Decide to learn “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.” - *failures aren't failures if you learn from them* Get out a notebook. Journal or mind map purposefully on what went wrong. Ask questions like: Why didn't that work? Was it my environment? Did I approach it in the best way? Was my "why" not close enough? Was I too "flip-floppy"? Was my niche too broad? Was my habit too difficult to do? Did I not do enough testing? How could I do that differently in the future? Do I need to create accountability, study before I jump, make my habit more appealing? ✨ 3. Try another experiment Treat every attempt at something - whether it's writing a book, creating a workout routine or taking your vitamins consistently - as an experiment, not a fixed solution. Take your learnings and turn them in to action by applying them to your next experiment. I *promise you* that just because you've struggled to follow through before, does not mean you're incapable of following through - that just because you've had a project fall flat, does not mean all projects you attempt will fall flat. I'm writing this with absolutely conviction (I promise) - I believe that you're capable of all the things. You just need more self compassion, learning and experimenting to find your way there.
✨ If you don't achieve your goals, this will help ✨ A few years ago, I was a chronic starter - and one of the BIGGEST things that held me back was that: ✨ I set big hairy audacious goals✨ We love dreaming big, we love a wild goal, we adore n' support a big vision. HOWEVER when you're new to goal setting and you're not filled with pre-existing self belief that you can achieve your goals (Or, more commonly - you have negative beliefs that you can't actually follow through on goals), 'big hairy audacious goals' are mostly just damaging. Instead: The place to start is *setting goals that you can actually achieve* Why? Because when you're just starting out, what's far more important than setting huge goals for yourself is creating an identity of someone *who can actually do what they set out to do*. > The more you set do-able goals > The more you'll find yourself achieving your goals > The stronger you identify as 'a person that achieves their goals' and build positive self beliefs around goal setting > The more likely you are to keep on achieving your goals in future Focus more on *creating an identity* of someone who follows through than achieving massive goals in order to become a person who can achieve massive goals. "Small wins fuel transformative changes by leveraging tiny advantages into patterns that convince people that bigger achievements are within reach." - Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit Start by setting small, mini goals - and move your way up from there.
