Breaking the Happiness Myth: The Power of Focusing on One Action at a Time for True Growth

Posted on 10th December 2022

I thought tips & tricks, life hacks and expert advice were supposed to make us happier 🙈!

Until I realised they're often the source of the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) that so many people suffer from 😨.

The problem is the 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱 - according to the myriad of LinkedIn posts, blogs, articles, apps and books we're exposed to, every day we should:

𝟭 - Journal

𝟮 - Set your intention for the day

𝟯 - Meditate

𝟰 - Workout at least 30 mins every day

𝟱 - Ask yourself powerful questions

𝟲 - Track your progress

𝟳 - Catch and replace your disempowering beliefs

𝟴 - Read a bit every day

𝟵 - Follow your morning and evening routine

𝟭𝟬 - Visualise your goals

𝟭𝟭 - Ask and give feedback

𝟭𝟮 - Look at yourself in the mirror every evening and check if you're proud of yourself

𝟭𝟯 - ...plenty more😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱 😱

If you, too, feel intimidated when reading these things. You're not alone and no, it's not you. And no, nobody does all of that AND have a full-time job! It's simply not doable.If you really want to grow and expand your life and opportunities, do this instead:

👉 start with 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆. Forget about all the others.Focus on that one until it becomes a habit (𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙧: it doesn't take 21-30 days to form a new habit, that's a myth that's been around for way too long - it will take +/- 3 months, make peace with it 😀).

Once it's become a habit, you can add another one (and one only) and so on.We need to learn to 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 and feed them with what they need rather than what we want.

So this week I started writing every day on LinkedIn, and will just focus on that one.Which one will you tackle first and why?
