Repetition can be phenomenal
To learn something very well keep learning the same thing each day.
To make someone your friend repeat interacting with them each day.
To build a new belief repeat referring to the same evidence that affirms the belief.
In my second grade, I voluntarily learned the 7th tables by simple repetition. Since then I have been amazed by the profound impact it can have on life.
“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.” – Zig Ziglar, American Author
The nurturing voice
Do you have a little voice in your head that tells you the meanest things and harshest criticism for the minutest errors you made? If yes, you are not alone. When I attended a workshop last week, I realized we sometimes have given this voice lot more attention than it deserves. It is because we don’t bring an alternative nurturing voice. Recalling those who have nurtured and appreciated us for who we are can help us in building an encouraging caring voice in our heads. As we keep bringing this new voice, it slowly strengthens and negates the damage caused by our inner critic.
“Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take it’s place.” – Beverly Engel, Author of Healing Your Emotional Self
For Fun Sake
Not everything needs to have a serious purpose. Not everything needs to be useful. Recently, I decided to continue doing some activity because it was fun even though that was not the original reason for starting it. We are so preoccupied with our roles that we forget to have fun. Taking fun seriously means that we continue having fun, even if, it has no apparent usefulness.
“Its fun to have fun” – Dr. Theodor Seuss Geisel, American children’s author and cartoonist.
