Greetings, dear reader!
Regardless of our goals in life, each of us wants to achieve success. This concept includes one’s own satisfaction from one’s activities. One of the very effective and useful tools on the path to success is keeping a diary in which personal achievements are recorded.
Many successful people start keeping a success diary when they realize that this habit consolidates and multiplies the individual's achievements. Today we will look in detail at how to keep a success diary, what it gives, and how this habit can dramatically change your life. Let's not hesitate, let's get started!
What is a success diary?
As a success diary, you can take an ordinary notebook, diary, notepad, where we will record our achievements every day. You can also include here success at work, school, positive assessments from other people and positive emotions.
The main rule is that the number of entries per day must be at least five. It would be better, of course, if there were more. The concept of “achievement” does not necessarily include something global and pay attention only to good results. You need to count all the pleasant little things of the past day into your achievements - giving up an unnecessary purchase, getting up early in the morning, exercising, reading a book - in general, everything that pleased us with the day.
Don't forget to write down quotes and thoughts from great celebrities for motivation, as well as your own ideas and thoughts.
Keeping a success diary is very simple, but many people give it up, citing being too busy and irrational. However, this habit is really useful, and now we will figure out what advantages it provides:
Practice. Recording our successes
How to start keeping a success diary? First, let’s think and write down ten of our merits. Remember all your skills, abilities, qualifications, what you are a master of, what you do best. Below, as an example, I will give several positive statements in the context of what there is a need to strive for.
Examples of keeping a diary will be described below.
If you want to get a high-paying job, list all your strengths and skills that you possess:
- “I am always attentive to people”
- “I am hardworking and efficient”
- “I always try to do my job well”
- “I have good organizational skills”
- "I have a good sense of taste."
If your goal is to build harmonious relationships and start a family, list your talents:
- “I easily make acquaintances and new contacts”
- "I am caring and considerate of others"
- “Many people like my sense of humor”
- “In a company I am always the center of attention”
- "I'm a good housewife"
- “My charisma is impossible to resist”
- “I often get compliments about my beautiful eyes.”
- “Girls often admire my figure and nature” and so on.
You can always find something for which you can praise yourself. Spend a few minutes in front of the mirror, don't look at what you don't like about your appearance. Look for what you like. Remember conversations with family and friends, what they admired about you, what compliments colleagues, partners and unfamiliar people gave. Don't be shy, recognize your best qualities, and feel free to write them down on paper.
To record your desires, you can create a separate wish notebook . There are legends that it helps dreams come true
