1 Insight To Consider
Thought-provoking insights to think about.
Within the self-improvement space, we often refer to the idea that society tells us this, that, or something else. For example, society tells us that we“need” to get a good education to be successful.
The list goes on…
I’m as guilty of this as anyone. Especially, in my early content creation days and when I first started entering the world of self-improvement.
Most recently I’ve started to question this idea. Not because it’s not true. In fact, I’ve often felt this societal pressure which can bear deep for many.
I’ve started to question this idea because when“we”refer to“society” who are we actually referring to? 🤷♂️
Aren’t“we” part of society? 👀
Don’t“we” makeup society, therefore, aren’twe part of the problem? 👀
When I refer to“we”,I refer to all of us, including those in the self-improvement space whether a coach, thought leader, or personality.
As hinted, that’s not to say social conditioning or societal pressure doesn’t exist.
It’s a very big thing that impacts us all, both consciously and unconsciously! Many times we don’t even recognise it unless we purposely start to ask the question and that’s the role of conscious personal growth and self-discovery.
I just wonder who“we’re”referring to as“society” and if we are part of it, and if so isn’t it about time we start to change the narrative, rather than thinking, maybe even believing society is outside of ourselves.
1 Idea To Act On
Simple actions to improve your health & life.
When it comes to forming new habits, it’s often the small habits that I struggle with the most and forget 99% of the time.
An example of this would be tongue-scraping—an ancient practice within Ayurveda that I’ve wanted to integrate into my morning routine for months but keep forgetting!
Sure, there are probably many reasons why I keep forgetting from it not being a high priority, to automatically going through my standard morning routine every morning that I become oblivious to anything outside of it, and many other reasons.
Maybe, I should bring a psychologist or habit expert onto the podcast to explore this further—if you’d like that let me know…
Anyway, I’ve realised that sometimes it’s these “smaller habits” that can make the biggest difference but because we see them as “small” we don’t value them as much or think, like me, we won’t forget them when the reality is quite on the contrary!
So, with this in mind, what is one “small” habit that you keep putting off or have wanted to integrate for any extended period of time but haven’t?! And, what can you do today to set yourself up for success tomorrow—measured by actually doing the thing?!
Think about it, let me know, and then get straight to it tomorrow!
P.S. I actually remembered to scrape my tongue this morning, now time to build the habit 😂
