Write a Journal and Reflect Upon Your Day




The things we never reflect upon are the things we never learn from.

We will start a journal to help us collect the events of our day and reflect on them. Here's what you need to do:

For the next 60 days, at the end of each day, write in your journal about how your day has been.

Write about the things you did, what you ate, who you met, and what you talked about.

Reflect on the incidents that happened through your day.

• Did I make any social mistakes?

• How was my overall mood?

• Was today a productive day?

• How could I have improved today?

• What things did I do wrong that I could have done better?

• What things did I do right?

Overall, both the writing and the self-introspection should not take more

than 20-30 minutes, although, if you have the time, feel free to extend yourself beyond that.

You will discover that as you reflect on your day on a consistent basis, you become calmer and more self-aware.

This is because the act of writing gives you the opportunity and time to process your emotions and it makes you aware of how you behave on a day to day basis, so you can consciously alter your behavior when you need to, instead of going with the flow like everyone else.

Your social skills will also improve as you spend some time reflecting on the mistakes you made.

Give It Time

This is one of those habits that you need to implement for at least 30 days

before you start seeing results.

Don't expect to see a significant change right from day 1.

Unreasonable expectations are the reason why people quit too soon.

 If you would persuade, appeal to interest and not to reason. —Benjamin Franklin I place this tendency first in my discussion because almost everyone thinks he fully recognizes how important incentives and disincentives are in changing cognition and behavior. But this is not often so. For instance, I think I’ve been in the top five percent of my age cohort almost all my adult life in understanding the power of incentives, and yet I’ve always underestimated that power. Never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes a little further my appreciation of incentive superpower. One of my favorite cases about the power of incentives is the Federal Express case. The integrity of the Federal Express system requires that all packages be shifted rapidly among airplanes in one central airport each night. And the system has no integrity for the customers if the night work shift can’t accomplish its assignment fast. And Federal Express had one hell of a time getting the night shift to do...

Why our millennium has lost its sense of stoicism in life?

 It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters. —Epictetus Stoicism proclaims that freedom and tranquility can be achieved only by being oblivious to material comforts, external fortune, and dedicating oneself to a life guided by the principles of reason and virtue (such is the idea of imperturbability or ataraxia). Assuming a materialistic conception of nature, the Stoics followed Heraclitus in the belief that the first substance is in the fire and in the veneration of the logos, which they identified with the energy, law, reason, and providence found in nature. The reason for men was also considered an integral part of the divine and immortal logos. The Stoic doctrine, which considered each person essential as a member of a universal family, helped break regional, social, and racial barriers, and paved the way for the spread of a universal religion. The Stoic doctrine of natural law, which converts human nature into a norm for evaluating social laws and insti...

How can i develop my capacity for change?

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change. —Charles Darwin Within evolutionary theory, evolutionary adaptation is defined as a biological mechanism through which organisms adjust to changes in their environment through morphological, physiological, behavioral and molecular modifications, which make them more suitable for their existence.  In fact, the word indicates this, since the term adaptation comes from the Latin adaptō which means I adjust to. Not all adaptations are completelyvpositive, and for it to be transmitted from generation to generation and persist in the population, reproductive success must be increased. In addition, there are numerous characteristics of the species that have not been developed to better transmit genetic material and that, therefore, are not adaptations, but are pure coincidences. The following definitions are given by the evolutionary biologist ...
