It’s difficult to be MYSELF (or oneself) because we always think “If I’ll do this, what others will think?”.
LOVE Myself and My Identity.
Love and Respect Myself the Most.
As long as you are working on improvement, don’t seek approvals. Don’t think what others will think.
KEEP GROWING.
Self-leadership requires courage to say “NO” – courage to say no to friends when they ask for doing cheating or for marking proxy or anything.
When we are in stress, harmones epinephrine and cortisol are released. These are good for us but to an extend only. With some stress, our performance and efficiency increase, but as the stress crosses a threshold value, our performance and efficiency start decreasing. Something which is a stress for one person may not be a stress for another and vice-versa. There are 4 types of symptoms of Stress – Cognitive symptoms like anxious, constant worrying; Emotional symptoms like Irritability, Inability to relax, General Unhappiness; Physical symptoms like constipation, rapid heartbeat, frequent colds; Behavioural symptoms like eating less. Our response to stress can also be of different types. We can be over-excites, Under excited or Frozen which is a mix of over-excited and under-excited. Again, there are different relaxation techniques for example, relaxation techniques that quiets you down such as meditation is helpful in case your response to stress is over-excited.
Actions against stress:
AVOID stressor – If you are waiting for a friend who is late, utilize those 10 minutes for yourself by recalling your shlokas/ praying/ doing breathing exercise etc.
ALTER Stressor – Be willing to compromise (of course, not with values but otherwise) for short term keeping in mind that it’s a stepping stone for your higher goal.
ADAPT Stressor – Adapt yourself according to situation temporarily.
ACCEPT Stressor – Accept that you are in stress if you are in. Then only you would help yourself in getting rid of that.
Laughter Yoga is also a good stress releaser. We had enough of laughter yoga in the class and we enjoyed that.
My Learning GOAL:
I have to:
- Be fully present
- Be inspired to learn
- Make efforts to learn
- Learn to enlarge my gifts
Ask yourself – Are you rising in your eyes?
If answer is Yes, then it’s fine. But if answer is not Yes, you have to identify where are you lacking.
Immunity to change
Human nature is such that it resists change and tend follow the previously followed ways.
Time Management is most important for all of us.
First step is to find out what are the things that we want to do but aren’t able to take out time to do them.
Write down the three things:
A) What I am doing which is opposite to what I should do to achieve my learning goal?
B) What am I not doing which I should do to achieve my learning goal.
C) What are our hidden commitments / assumptions behind?
We are not able to change because we have hidden commitments. For example, I had to study in the evening but got a call from friend and got engaged in chatting for long. This engagement in chatting is hidden commitment which deviates us from our path.
After doing this exercise in the class, I was able to analyse where I want to move and what are the deviations. Knowing before correcting is essential. “Knowing” part is done. “Correcting” is in progress.
