Lightning learning

IMG_6985

If you want to change something, then you need to find a way of accelerating your learning.

You can only accelerate your learning by doing more.

Doing more comes from building a habit.

It’s the building the habit that is the challenge initially. However, armed with a real deep down desire to change something, the commitment to do the daily habit forming routines, to do the practicing, to cut the new pathways in the brain, to build the momentum, comes easier and easier the longer down the path of change that you go.

Learning like anything else, gets better with practice, so as time passes the learning ‘muscle’ gets stronger and stronger, and you learn faster and faster.

You will reach a point of lightning learning compared to where you previously were and the more you continue, the more the compound effect takes place.

Like all things that are worth it in life, it takes time and patience with yourself. However, the quicker you are able to learn things, the faster you can accelerate your self-development and change becomes faster too.

Flip a coin

Often in life, we are in a situation where we just can’t make a decision. We um and ah and spin all the outcomes around in our head.

It is likely to be a big decision, however, once this form of mental paralysis takes over, it tends to creep into all decision making without us even realising.

We over think, we fear the worst outcomes, we play out the scenarios again and again. We sometimes put off making this ‘big’ decision for months or sometimes we never pluck up the courage to make it.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to say ‘fuck it’ and flip a coin to decide.

Whatever option we choose in life, it is so rarely fatal that it is not worth all the angst. We’ll recover from anything, we are all 1,000 times more resilient and adaptable than our inner voice will allow us to believe.

So grab a coin, stop the misery and don’t hesitate any longer.
