Wallowing in self-pity and low self-worth because you don’t think you’re worthy of success or personal satisfaction is a sure way to keep your dreams from ever coming to fruition.
Unless you begin to take actions to reach your goals and dreams, you’ll never see yourself as a true achiever and worthy of great success. There’s no one like you in the world and your ideas are unique. Take advantage of that and go after what you want.
Zen philosophies teach the importance of meditation and self-control, both needed to create clutter-free, organized spaces. Meditation delivers clarity of thought and peace of mind. When your organizational goals are clearly defined, and you have a good mental picture of them, you’re much more likely to achieve them.
You must learn self-control to develop digital and physical environments that lead to greater productivity and less stress. Substantial research shows that decluttering and organizing your spaces promotes better sleep habits, more free time, and improved finances.
Finding what you need in your digital space and the physical world is easier when your most used spaces are organized and clutter-free. This leads to productivity and efficiency, plus more time to spend on activities you enjoy.
Self-control is required to resist unhealthy urges. Temptations that could lead to instant gratification and long-term regret can appear without notice. They’re all around us. If you can act responsibly in those situations, temptations are powerless.
You also need a strong will to follow through on an action plan. It’s necessary for achieving short-term and long-term goals. You must follow your plan consistently, which may require rock-solid willpower.
This course will help you develop that flawless willpower. Once completed, you will be confident that you have the willpower to do whatever is required for personal and professional growth.
