Tendency to be So Hard on Yourself? 🤔 🌟 Last week, I discussed with Sarah, a startup founder, who came to me feeling overwhelmed after a particularly challenging week. She had been leading a crucial project, coordinating across multiple teams, and the deadline was looming. "I just feel like I dropped the ball," she told me during our session. Despite her detailed planning and extended work hours, an error in the project's code went unnoticed until the final review. The mistake was minor and quickly rectified, but Sarah couldn't shake off the feeling of failure. She fixated on the oversight, questioning her competence and leadership skills. The incident weighed heavily on her, leading her to doubt her abilities and fear her team's judgment. Sarah demands excellence from herself at all times. But when she falls short of those impossibly high expectations, her innate sensitivity and thoughtfulness cause her to spiral into self-recrimination. Can you relate? Then, you may also you also may be too hard on yourself. ○ overanalyzing your shortcomings ○ rumination over minor missteps ○ worry and assuming fault. 📌 Research shows self-criticism leads to reduced motivation, self-control, and increased procrastination. It's time to break this pattern! Here are strategies to embrace a more balanced approach, recommended by Melody Wilding, in her HBR article "Stop Being So Hard on Yourself,» which I leverage all the time. ① Name Your Inner Critic Separate yourself from negative thoughts to reduce discomfort and stress. ② Avoid Generalization View your performance in aggregate to avoid overemphasizing singular events. ③ Flip the "What If" Narrative Ask constructive questions to focus on positive outcomes. ④ Set a Timer and a Goal Allow time to process emotions - try release writing. ⑤ Expand Your Definition of Success Success isn't just about outcomes but also about growth and integrity with your values. 🚀 Embrace these strategies to silence your inner critic, and don't be so hard on yourself! Your self-worth is not defined by mistakes but by how you rise above challenges. 💪 #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #MindsetMatters #MondayReflection Drawify 🧡

Let's talk about what's driving your actions. Are you operating from a punishment mentality or a reward/pleasure mentality? Take a moment to reflect on how these words make you think or feel. Often, we embark on personal development because we feel we're broken, but what if our reason was to grow, learn, and live into our full potential? This shift in mindset can lead to vastly different results. Do you find yourself setting up scenarios to punish yourself, whether it's in food, exercise, or business results? Feeling like you're never good enough or never doing enough? What if instead, you focused on the fact that you get to do these things, finding reward in the learning and growing, even when it's uncomfortable? Here are three tips to help you achieve better results and build more self-confidence and belief: Set Clear Goals: Define what success looks like for you and break it down into smaller, manageable goals. Celebrate your progress along the way to boost your confidence. Practice Positive Self-Talk: Replace negative self-talk - take control of your mind. Remind yourself of your strengths and past achievements to build belief in your abilities. Embrace Challenges as Opportunities: Instead of fearing failure, see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow. Each obstacle you overcome strengthens your belief in yourself and your abilities. Your choices and thoughts shape your outcomes and your energy. Become aware of your drivers; you have the power to change them. It's a game-changer. #MindsetShift #PersonalDevelopment #AlisonWheelerCoaching

Here are some thought-provoking questions designed to help you self-reflect, reprogram, and strengthen your mindset: 1- Identity and Self-Understanding What are three core values you absolutely won’t compromise on? How would the person you want to become act differently than the person you are now? If you had no fear, what would you do differently in your life? 2- Resilience and Adaptability When was the last time you faced a challenge and overcame it? What did it teach you about yourself? How do you typically react to unexpected obstacles? How would you like to react instead? What’s one negative thought pattern you frequently fall into? What’s a more empowering perspective on that situation? 3- Growth and Learning In what area of your life do you feel you’ve stopped growing or become stagnant? Why? Who is someone you admire for their mental strength or productivity? What specific habits or mindsets do they have that you could adopt? When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? What prompted that decision? 4- Productivity and Goals If you could achieve just one major goal in the next 12 months, what would it be? Why is that goal important to you? What are the three main distractions or habits that hinder your productivity? How can you minimize or eliminate them? How do you define success? Is it different from how society defines it? 5- Interpersonal Relations and Empathy How do you respond to criticism or feedback? Is there room for improvement in how you handle it? Think of a relationship that challenges you. What lessons or growth opportunities is it offering you? When was the last time you actively listened to someone without formulating a response in your mind? How did it make you feel? As you reflect on these questions, remember that the journey to self-improvement is ongoing. Celebrate your progress and continue to seek understanding and growth.

Feel like you’re NOT realising your potential❔ THEN Follow THESE Tips ⤵️ 1️⃣Develop a Growth Mindset vs. a Fixed Mindset American psychologist Dr. Carol Dweck’s research shows that embracing challenges, focusing on effort over outcome, and having a belief that you can grow and improve are critical components to reaching your full potential. Start by recording and celebrating your small wins. 2️⃣Develop Your Goals. In addition to your “To do” list, create a “To be” list. Imagine what you’d feel like when you meet your goals - how you’d change 3️⃣Take Action! What small things can you do? changes that accumulate over time become solid habits that help you to fulfill your potential. Take an inventory of your habits (things you do each day ). Which ones support your goals? Which are working against you? If you were to take a small step toward your big dream, what micro-habit could you create? 4️⃣Focus on the big picture by asking questions? Who am I? How do I want to feel? What are the primary questions that drive your life? Unhappy with where you’re at? The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions. 5️⃣Reflect or Journal about what life is feeding back to you. By putting pen to paper, you bring to your awareness what you’re thinking and feeling about your life. 6️⃣Are you a time-master or a time-slave? “Not enough time” is one of the biggest obstacles to reaching your full potential. Good news, though, time mastery can be learned. 7️⃣Model a Role Model. Copy someone who’s already done it if you’re fearful, until you have your own ideas about how to navigate your way? You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. 8️⃣Persistence and discipline always win, so sometimes you’re gonna have to do things you don’t want to do! 9️⃣Practice some Self Compassion - Failure isn’t fun - no matter how we try and frame it, but use some self-compassion to speak to yourself as you would a friend? 🔟Rest and Recover - when you’re pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, you have to find some time to rest and recuperate .

Construction Business Owner & Visionary Entrepreneur | Driving Change and Growth Across Diverse Industries
Sharing a Quote for today! One thing I've learned from my journey in life and business is that you can't be everyone's cup of tea. In our quest to please everyone, we often forget about the most important person - ourselves. The truth is, not everyone will appreciate your efforts or resonate with your ideas, and that's perfectly fine. It's not a reflection of your worth, but a reminder that we are all unique individuals with different preferences and perspectives. This simple yet effective mindset shift has helped me focus on being the best version of myself, rather than seeking validation from others. It has freed me from unnecessary stress and boosted my self-confidence. Give it a try, and let me know how it works for you! Remember, success lies in being unapologetically you. 💪 #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #MindsetShift #BusinessTip What's your approach to handling different opinions and expectations?
