This post originally appeared on Anna's 1st blog, Annamotion. I've been working hard at this for months and I'm wondering if it's been a waste. I'm not seeing the fruit of my labor yet. I must not be improving at all! Have you ever thought this? Perhaps you've been strength training for weeks and still have not seen a noticeable difference in your body. Perhaps you've been playing guitar now for several months and still have nothing to show for it. Perhaps you've tried to improve your writing by making yourself write for a little bit … [Read more...]
I’m too busy to spend time on self-improvement.
My life is too busy already. There's no way I can even squeeze it in. Besides, trying to add one more thing to do today will just exhaust and stress me out even more. I just don't have enough time! Have you ever told that to yourself? When you already feel like you have a million and one things to do each day and not enough time, of course you don't want to add something else to your task-list, even if you know it is something you'd love to do. Whenever I talk to my friends, "not having enough time" seems to be the #1 reason why they … [Read more...]
I’ll start tomorrow.
It's getting late. I've missed my best window of opportunity. I still have so many other things left to do. It's ok; I'll just start tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. You know you've said "I'll start tomorrow" before, but it has been five thousand four hundred and thirty two tomorrows and you still have not done it. There are probably a hundred things you've said in your lifetime that you would start tomorrow, but they are now totally forgotten. We use this phrase as a way to rationalize procrastinating. Saying "I'll start tomorrow" feels … [Read more...]
My past has no value for my present & future.
Looking back keeps me from moving forward. Why would I waste my time and make myself feel bad by looking back at times of my past that I am embarrassed by? My past is worthless to me; I'd rather just forget it and pretend it never happened because it reminds me of a me that I do not like. Have you ever felt this way? Have you ever been so embarrassed by your past that you deny it or ignore the fact that it happened? In all honesty, I'm embarrassed to look back at my past when I was so weak because I hardly ever worked out. I think I'm even … [Read more...]

I just can't get it right! Everyone else is so amazing at this; they barely even have to try! It comes so naturally to them. Why is it not working for me? I must not be good enough to do this. Look at her. She knows what she's doing and is so perfect at what she does! But … [Read more...]
Resting is a waste of time.
This post originally appeared on Anna's 1st blog, Annamotion. If you want to succeed and have maximum productivity in your life, then you need to push harder by: working the extra hours, bringing your work home with you, sleeping less, studying through meal times, working through breaks and days off, and devoting every moment of every day to your work. There is no time for rest and relaxation because it would be a waste of time and completely unproductive. You can be more productive if you keep pushing through. This is a lie you may have … [Read more...]
