Weekly Progress : Working on Yourself (2)

This series is to make it easier for you to become the person you want to be. Keep in mind that I’m not a therapist, and take my suggestions as you would from a friend.

Try achieving these goals every week. They’re short and doable, and it’s to increase your confidence, step by step.

To keep things simple, we only have 3 categories (external, mental and physical) which will have one goal each.

External :

  • Check up on a friend or family member.
  • Just asking, “how are you? Have you been doing okay?” shows that you care about them.
  • Relationships are TWO WAYS! You can’t complain about someone not putting in effort if YOU don’t.

Mental :

  • Let’s practice confidencetoday.
  • To do this, we first must outline the kind of person you’d like to be.
  • You’ll need a book / diary for this - in this series, you’ll write pretty often.
  • Why? Having a game plan makes it easy to visualise and therefore carry out activities to help reach that goal.
  • Create two lists, 1) qualities and attributes you think you have (honesty, integrity, etc) and 2) qualities of the person you want to be.
  • Don’t be harsh on yourself. Write it down for yourself, no one will judge you. You’re allowed to write good things about yourself.

Physical :

  • A HIIT workout, 15 minutes.
  • Something to keep your heart pumping and blood flowing!
  • YouTube, as usual, has some great options.

Three Days to Getting Your Life Together


If a 7 day challenge is a little too intense for you, try 3 instead.
