Helping people is a very good way to help yourself. If you are giving and willing to support the people around you, it does wonders for your mood and your outlook.
I have been reading a lot about motivation, mindset and focus in the last year and have amassed a huge arsenal of ideas, techniques and advice. I am able to help people with these topics but have found myself in a strange situation: I am not listening to myself.
Many times I come out from a session where I’m helping someone with their focus problems, and then after the session waste an hour or two being unfocused for no reason. Why? If I have the tools to help myself get back on track, why do I let myself be sidetracked like this?
It’s very interesting to think about how we kind of assume that the rules apply to everyone else but us. This is incorrect most of the time and we should trust ourselves and trust the process.
