In the quest to make the best of every situation or to simply be the
best everyone needs a certain amount of courage. There are several ways of
manifesting the courage element in an individual’s life, some of which come in
the form of physical courage, mental courage, moral courage and a combination
of all to Love yourself.
Developing the ability to face any form of adversity takes a concerted
effort to encourage and groom the element of courage. Having the physical
courage to adjust priorities and reevaluates intuitions is a very important
feature to be exercised when necessary.
Though it may seem impossible, having the courage to make the necessary
changes allow the individual the option to move forward and improve from an
otherwise negative situation. The element of courage is often not an easy
feature in most individual’s makeup but with the right motivation tool anyone
can learn to develop and strengthen the resolve to be courageous.
Both on a personal level and professional level, courage should be
looked upon as an uncompromising element that each individual needs to develop
to ensure proper handling of matters in the face of adversity.
In scenarios where there is a very clear perception of risk, having the
necessary courage to take on the risk will allow the individual to exercise to Love
yourself and the courage needed to see the goal reached.
Defining the situation and weighting the odds of successes should also
be linked to the external factor of being courageous. The individual needs to
“push” himself or herself to limits otherwise unimaginable with the element of
courage which can also be termed as fortified bravery.
Symbolically though the heart is represented in the equation of courage
it does play other consistent roles of keeping the blood flowing smoothly and
represents the spiritual core of innermost centre of feelings. Courage is also
a very much needed element when faced with defeat as it is the key to ensuring
the individual is able to continue the journey toward achieving the desired
goal.
The key to having self-belief lies in the understanding that each
individual has the power and ability to control or fashion the outcome of any
decision or action executed.
Previous experiences good or bad will eventually dictate the confidence
levels harnessed in order to build the self-belief needed to face future
situations or scenarios.
In creating the mind set and understanding that there are choices and
consequences to those choices available to the individual is perhaps the first
step to acknowledging the power each individual has over any given situation.
In the quest to understand the advantageous of cultivating self-belief
through choices made, some important points need to be considered. Each
individual should be encouraged to independently asses and make decisions or
choices without fear of failure or negative implications.
When the individual is confident in making such decisions without being
hampered with the element of negativity then there is freedom to choose and
even learn from sometimes wrong choices.
Taking on new endeavours or exposing one’s self to new and perhaps
slightly different tasks will also help the individual to further learn to make
better choices and more well informed decisions.
Addressing anxieties which may arise from the freedom element of making
decision should also be considered as this directly impact the ability and
confidence levels for future decisions.
When a decision has been made based on all relevant information studied
or presented, the individual must then muster up the confidence to follow the
course set based on the choices made. Even if the outcome is less than
desirable, the experience gained would eventually work as an advantage for
future reference.
Along with the knowledge that the individual has the option of making
choices that impact the direction of any endeavour, the said individual is able
to better equipped to handle more complex challenges.
With negatively all around there is certainly enough without having to
manifest it within one’s own life. Avoiding negatively is not impossible but it
certainly takes a concerted effort on the part of the individual to Love
yourself.
Learning a few tricks will help make the process easier and more
achievable. Here are some recommendations that should be carefully considered
to ensure negativity is kept at bay as much as possible.
- Learning to be less
critical of others and of things surrounding one’s self is one of the most
effective ways of keeping the negativity element from becoming a part of
one’s everyday existence. Some people just don’t seem to realize that in
constantly finding the negative aspects of everything they in turn become
rather negative themselves. This then causes the individual to miss all
the good qualities that are otherwise very apparent to others.
- Making conscious
choices to be around positive people and circumstances is another way of
keeping the negative element at bay. Being around positive people can not
only benefit mentally but also physically as it helps the individual to
experience only positive vibes and thoughts. When these positive vibes or
thoughts develop into a habit the aura or possibility of thinking negative
is greatly diminished.
- Having a strong sense
of self-worth and self-respect is a naturally binding element to avoiding
negative traits like arrogance and pride. The negativity of arrogance and
pride eventually causes the individual to lose focus on the goodness of
anything.
- Idleness is purported
to be a great cultivator of negativity. This then eventually leads to the
aimless direction in the individual’s life. Keeping occupied both in mind
and body is definitely recommended even if the tasks seem trivial at the
time. Keeping busy allows the mind to explore newer ways and ideas to
achieving goals set.
Courage is the ultimate decider when it comes to
successfully reaching the desired results for goal setting. Without the element
of courage, even the slightest hint of a problem will create the negative
factor which may cause the negativity to set in. once the commitment is made
towards a particular venture the courage element is the recognizable element
that will keep the venture on track till its end.
However there are a few aspects that need to be
carefully considered before beginning to consider setting up courage goals. The
following are just some of the suggestions that can and should be considered.
- When setting courage
goals one element that should be included is the action plan to be
implemented. When the action plan is clearly defined, the individual
should ensure that at least one item is carried out daily. As this is
being done daily, the individual is able to maintain the motivation levels
it takes to keep the venture on track.
- Try to avoid staying
too comfortable in actions and thoughts related to a particular project or
endeavour. Setting and trying new methods is one way of keeping the freshness
aspect of the exercise and this requires the courage to explore all
possibilities.
- Within the desire and
execution of setting up courage goals there should also be a commitment to
change. The changes should be for the better and beneficial to the overall
exercise which may even transcend to physical changes required within the
individual’s own thinking and lifestyle.
- Having the courage to
do whatever it takes to get the job done should be a prerequisite to
ensure the success of any venture.
The courage needed to make difficult and unpleasant
decisions should be done quickly and effectively, while at all times being
aware of the consequences of any actions taken.
More often than not people become too comfortable
at some point in life which can cause them to lapse in an unexciting or at
worst unproductive cycle. This is of course a very poor state of affairs which
should be addressed.
Sometimes getting out of the comfort zone requires
the individual to face the fears such as feeling overwhelmed, decisions to move
to the next level, expansions that are happening too quickly or slower than
anticipated are just a few that can cause a certain level of panic for the
individual.
There are many other varying elements that can
cause a person to avoid venturing out of their comfort zones, but sometimes
taking smaller steps is what is most effective rather than making rash and huge
adjustments.
Though most individual tend to stick to what they
are most familiar with, taking the challenge to try something new can often
bring about surprising results.
Being open to trying something new is one way of
breaking out of the comfort zone, as these new forays may require the
individual to learn or acquire new skills or thought processes which can
eventually be beneficial in other aspects of their lives.
Expanding one’s social circles can also contribute
to the exercise of stepping out of the comfort zone. Networking is an important
contributor to the expansion of one’s social circle which dictates the
connections formed both on personal levels as well as business levels.
Through this exercise there are many possibilities
that can be made available to the individual and besides the obvious expanding
contacts one’s knowledge base can also be widened considerably.
Another less explored though still very effective
is the use of meditation, music, imagination, breathing and body to break out
of the comfort zone. Though unconventional these techniques have proven to be
beneficial and less “threatening” when explored.
Some simpler and less invasive ways would be to
introduce the stress reduction techniques to first rid one’s self of anything
that could be hampering the self-exploration exercise. Building positive
mindsets and thoughts allows the individual to be more receptive to self-exploration
as any new ideas or perceptions being introduced would feel less daunting and
overwhelming.
Learning to substitute negative thoughts for
positive ones also helps to develop better self-exploration techniques. Fear is
purported to be the foremost element that hampers growth derived from
self-exploration.
Most people would like to avoid getting in touch with their inner self
for fear of what they will find. This may not be beneficial as it also locks in
any potential that could otherwise be released with the self-exploration
exercise.
When new discoveries are made, the individual must also be open to
learning from these, as these may present opportunities that would otherwise
not exist. Accepting the self-exploration as a positive and beneficial exercise
will further help the individual to be more open to learning from any
discoveries made, thus bringing about changes for the better.
There are also professional developments programs that teach the
individual to self-explore and these have been known to produce amazing
results.
re often conducted by individual who are better equipped to deal with
any mental challenges faced during the self-exploration exercises, the
participants are assured of a more clear understanding and perhaps explanation
of any discoveries made.
Being happy and contented is not something that just happens
automatically. It is often a state of being that has to be purposefully chosen
and consciously practiced.
Simply choosing to do something and not physically or mentally
participating to bring the choice made to reality does not equate the results
desired. Sometimes one needs to exercise self-exploration and be open to its
findings in order to move to the nest level or success or comfort or of
whatever is being sought.
Find your courage today. Love yourself!
