ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: 10 Habits for Self Improvement (Life Changing & Motivating)

Hey Balancers and welcome back to another episode of the Balance Theory podcast.

I'm your host Erica and if you're somebody like me who is curious to learn more about themselves, who is on a self-development,

a self-improvement journey, who is interested in curating and creating a life that is more aligned, authentic and balanced for them,

then this episode is for you.

Today, I'm going to share 10 cherry-picked habits that I think are incredibly powerful for anybody in a self-improvement journey.

We're not only going to talk about what those habits are,

but why I have personally made an episode dedicating time to talk about their importance in the self-improvement and self-development journey.

I think when we talk about habits, I could go on a 50-page tangent of all the different things I do

that I love that are great for my motivation and my discipline and all these things.

But the reason I wanted to dedicate it to habits specifically for the self-improvement journey is

because that is what this podcast is about.

And I really feel that if you can have a routine

that gives you both the time and space to be in your own thoughts and think about the things you want, why you want them and have the energy to do that as well,

that is the most important and the most critical way you're actually going to make long lasting, impactful and aligned change in your life.

Some of these habits may be ones you've heard before.

They may not necessarily be new.

Some might be interesting.

You may not have thought about them in terms of being a habit or including it in your routine.

And I'm really excited to share these because I feel like before I implemented a lot of these,

I was very chop and change with my discipline when it came to my self-improvement.

And what I mean with that is I would sometimes feel very grounded and connected with myself and sometimes I wouldn't.

I would constantly be kind of like chopping in and out of what I call alignment, feeling really grounded in myself.

So these in combination have worked really well for me.

You may listen and choose to adopt maybe a handful of them or maybe one really sticks out to you.

This isn't a perfect list for you.

This is what's currently working for me and I just hope that some of them inspire you, if not to think about your own habits

and whether they are playing a key role in your self improvement journey

or whether they're ones that you can adopt on your own path as well.

And I have saved my favorite and what I think is the best until last.

So make sure you stay tuned till the end.

Okay.

The first habit that I think has been indispensable for my self improvement journey is movement.

So I'm not necessarily talking about going to the gym every single day of the week.

I'm just talking about moving your body every day.

There is something magical and beautiful just about being in that mind-body connection.

For me, it's quite a flexible routine throughout my week.

So I do have a gym program that I do, but I do like mixing that up with Pilates, with walking, with yoga.

It's just, you know, there's obviously the science aspect of it, which I'm not a professional or qualified to speak on in terms of the endorphins it gives you,

the feel-good hormones, all that.

That's quite obvious to me after I've done a workout, how good you feel.

But it's just also in terms of telling yourself you're going to stick to something and then showing up for yourself.

That practice has such a key role to play in terms of your discipline, in terms of creating and sticking to things.

You're basically building up evidence of telling yourself you're going to do things and sticking to them.

And if you want to improve or grow as a person, having that foundation of knowing you can do things that you stick to is really,

really key and crucial in terms of growing.

The third reason I think that's really, really important is, like I said, that mind-body connection.

Actually being very present when you're moving, feeling how your body feels in different things, pushing yourself.

I don't know, there's just something really magical about it.

And I really feel a difference on the days I move my body versus the days that I don't.

For example, I mean, it's nice to have breaks and go on holidays, but even things like my posture feels off.

I don't feel as energetic.

It's just crazy the range of benefits that come with it.

But this discipline or this habit has been critical to me improving as a person and actually being committed on that journey.

So having a very committed movement habit, I think is really important for anyone that's serious about growing as a person.

Number two, this is a golden pillar for me.

It's a no phone rule.

So I have a rule where for the first, let's say two hours of the day and the last hour of the day, I have my phone on do not disturb and I really try

and not go on it unless it's for something I absolutely need to.

And the way I do this is I use on the iPhone, it's called the do not disturb feature, which basically means you won't get any notifications pop up on your phone.

It doesn't put it on aeroplane mode or anything like that.

So everything is still coming through they're just not popping up on your home phone

which means you're not being distracted first thing in the morning this is very very important for me this is

when i'm doing my movement so i'm waking up

and i'm going straight to the gym

or i'm going straight for my walk it's something i like to do first thing in the morning

if i had my phone not on do not disturb i'd be waking up to my alarm

and instantly seeing all my notifications and what that does is it puts me in in an immediate space of distraction.

So that means I'm not, I don't have that space and time for myself, right?

The phone is such a beautiful tool we've got.

We can access the world in our pockets, but it also means our attention is grabbed constantly.

And so I find using this do not disturb feature

or the no phone rule is a way for you to commit time for yourself and keep that sacred.

And what I love doing is when I'm ready to be distracted, That's when I take my phone off, do not disturb in the morning.

And it's this really nice practice of I've just had two, three hours to myself and I'm now choosing that I'm prepared to be distracted.

So it's this really nice way of just controlling your energy and conserving it for yourself.

And the other thing I'll say is, especially with the night one, think about the energy and pace of you scrolling on social media constantly, right?

It's like dopamine here, dopamine here you're just distracted very very short grabby soul energy

right you're just like always needing something to top it up to top it up to top it up

and it's very like quick frantic energy if you can actually switch

that off a decent amount of time before you go to bed

that actually gets your energy back into this just slow not distracted kind of neutral state

if you have scrolled and then try and go to sleep it's highly likely

that it takes you quite some time to go to sleep and for me personally, I can only put this down to the way that I get revved up just being on my phone,

especially the way we consume short form content and social media.

So having that rule has been incredible for my sleep.

It's been incredible for my own connection with myself and just really protecting me from being distracted.

I mean, we've got all day to be on our phone.

A lot of us use our phone for work.

It's basically on my desk all day when I'm working.

So I'm never without it.

So I can choose to just switch that off and use

that do not disturb feature as kind of like a barrier for my own time.

So this has been a habit that I have found incredibly profound to just create

that time and space for myself and opt in and out of distraction.

And just as a quick aside, like if you're someone who is trying to build a different life for yourself, if you're trying to focus, if you're trying to be a little bit more organized or disciplined,

use this feature throughout the day as well.

You know, if you've got an hour to do work, it's really hard sometimes to have the phone face down because you're tempted to look at it and, you know, we check it.

We have those natural tendencies and urges.

But if you use the do not disturb feature, it's still there.

100

You can see the time, but you're not distracted by that notification going off.

101

So this has been an amazing feature.

102

I really love it.

103

And using it as the way I start and end my day has been really, really powerful.

104

The third habit is for anyone listening who's like me, who likes being very organized in the form of lists, to-do lists, calendars, things like that.

105

Having a very organized way and having apps that actually help you organize your things and your time is very important.

106

Otherwise, if things are scrambled in your head, they're going to be scrambled in your reality, right?

107

It's the same thing as like, if your environment is a mess, you're going to feel like messy and scattered and all over the place.

108

So I won't go on too long about this

109

because I know different people have different preferences for how they like to be organized or do these lists.

110

I actually used to be pen on paper, very old school type girl where I'd have my to-do list.

111

But I think since I've moved into like planning ahead more and doing more quarterly, six month yearly goals, it's just been impossible to keep track of that on paper.

112

So I like to use two apps.

113

The first one is called Sunsama.

114

This app is basically a calendar, but if you're like me and you have a lot of different email accounts, I've got one for the podcast, one for work, one for personal, one for my e-commerce business.

115

It's very hard to keep track of all the meetings and due dates for things when they're all on different Gmail accounts, all on different calendars.

116

So this app basically lets you pull in all your calendars in one and it'll display all the deadlines,

117

meetings, things in each of those calendars in the one place, which has been amazing.

118

The second one I really love using is Calendly.

119

So this is basically just a meeting booking type app.

120

But the reason I love it is I'm currently based in Dubai.

121

I do a lot of business and have a lot of meetings that take place in Australia, in the UK, in the US,

122

and having to sit down and work out the time zone difference is just, it goes over my head.

123

So this app basically lets the person booking choose their time zone.

124

You've set it to your time zone and it's just very seamless.

125

I mean, I can't keep track of daylight savings and all of that.

126

So this has been great.

127

I've put some links in the show notes.

128

If you guys want to check those out, they've been two apps I really love using.

129

And then in terms of just keeping track of my goals,

130

my corporate brain has taken over this one and I really use a bland Google Doc list.

131

It just helped.

132

It's helped me kind of build out the big picture goals in terms of yearly, six month, three month.

133

But this habit in and of itself, whether you do it through apps, whether you do it as written, just being organised is really important.

134

If you're someone who is focusing on growing and learning more about yourself, you have to be organised with your time because then you can A, see where your time is going, you can vet your time,

135

which is really important to make sure that where it's going is conducive to who you want to be.

136

But also, and most importantly, when you are clear in the mind, when you're organized, it just gives you this peace of mind to think clearly

137

because you're not scattered like the way your calendar or your week is.

138

So for anyone listening who already is a fan of to-do lists, you're probably already across this.

139

But those are just some apps that I like to use.

140

If there's any you use, like even with to-do lists, I know there are so many.

141

Please feel free to drop them in the comments too so I can check them out, so other people listening can check them out too.

142

But this habit is really, really important if you are bettering yourself.

143

Fourth one, fourth habit that is very important if you're on a self-discovery or a self-improvement journey is preparing your own food.

144

Now, I have spoken to so many people, especially here in Dubai, that tell me it's so much cheaper and faster to just order food every single day.

145

And I hear you.

146

The truth is it probably is.

147

but it's all about the quality of what we are consuming.

148

For me personally, I have found that if I am ordering takeaway,

149

which generally has a lot more sugar and preservatives and different things in there that are not clean food,

150

shall we say, it really impacts my energy.

151

And this is what this point, this habit is all about.

152

It's about energy management, because if you know what you're consuming and you're not having too much of a heavy meal, your energy is going to stretch a lot longer every single day.

153

Also, just in terms of your general health, you know, health, I think, is the foundation to anything you want to do in life.

154

If you've got your health, you have the energy to show up and do the things that you want to do every single day.

155

So prepping food has been a great way for me to actually manage my energy

156

and make sure that I'm just on top of my health in general.

157

This kind of brings me on to my fifth thing, my fifth habit, which is having Sundays as a planning day.

158

Because a lot of people will say to me, I don't have the time to meal prep, it takes too long, all those kinds of things.

159

So in general, Sunday for me is a planning day.

160

It's planning my meetings and what my week looks like.

161

It's making sure I haven't scheduled in too many calls

162

that I'm going to have no time to do my core things or my core habits, right?

163

Because that's very important to my balance.

164

It's making sure that I have pre-ordered my groceries.

165

So on the grocery note, let's just go to the side for a sec.

166

I generally plan and order everything on a Saturday.

167

I don't want to discount the mental toll it takes to actually like plan out what you're going to eat,

168

think of all the groceries you need to order and then actually order them.

169

I feel very grateful I live in a city where it's accessible to order food basically same day or next day delivery.

170

but if you can create like a two-day window where you plan and order and then the food arrives and you prep, it's a very easy way to just get into the swing of doing things

171

because if you wake up on a Sunday and think, oh, what am I going to eat this week, order it, by the time it comes it's probably later in the day or even if you go and do your shopping,

172

it's just a lot of decisions you have to make in one day.

173

So I found splitting it out just splits the mental energy required to do those things

174

and Sundays are such a great day for me to just get ahead of my week.

175

You know, that's assuming you have a Monday to Friday schedule.

176

If your schedules push forward or you work weekends or your weekend break or days off during the week, you could use that as your planning day too.

177

But it's just gives me a level of comfort and peace of mind that in that week coming up, I've organized the things that are non-negotiables to me.

178

I have the time to do and spend the time doing the things that matter to me.

179

And I just have that clarity going into the week.

180

So use Sundays to plan your week out or use your day off to plan your week out, whether that is food, whether it is meetings and your calendar,

181

whether it is things you need to do, like building out a to-do list and steps around that,

182

use Sundays as a planning day because when Monday kicks in and unexpected client work comes up, you've got deadlines you weren't expecting,

183

it can throw the week out.

184

So if you've already organized stuff for the week, then those things don't, you don't have to miss out on those things.

185

The sixth habit that's been really powerful in my own self-improvement journey has been this concept of constant education.

186

So it's constantly learning.

187

And I feel like once you start this journey, you realize, you know, it's that famous saying, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

188

And it's so true.

189

I think learning about ourselves and becoming better as a person is a lifelong pursuit.

190

I don't think we'll ever get to a stage where we're just done, you know, like we feel like we've accomplished or learned everything there is to learn about ourselves.

191

I really do think we could do that until our very last day.

192

And so being engaged in constant education, which you're probably already doing if you're listening to this podcast, but through podcasts, through books,

193

through interesting articles, through reading papers, whatever you find inspiring, whatever gets you thinking, actually having that as a habit.

194

So not just ad hocly when you feel like it, having as a habit, for example, Monday mornings, when you're walking on the treadmill, that's your time to learn something new.

195

I do that actually on a Thursday.

196

It's my 60 minute walk day.

197

And I always listen to a podcast on something I am interested to learn about at that period in time.

198

And that topic area or the theme of that changes depending on what stage I'm at in life.

199

For example, now it's a lot around pregnancy, having babies.

200

It's really just firming up my understanding in that area because it's something I'm interested in and something I hope, you know, to engage in in the next couple years of my life.

201

But that topic or what I choose to learn about for my own growth changes depending on where I'm at in life.

202

But I have that core habit of constant education.

203

So anchoring that into your week

204

and actually having it as a regular habit is a sure way to guarantee

205

that you're constantly evolving and growing in whatever area you want to focus on.

206

Confidence, public speaking, YouTube, whatever it is.

207

The seventh type of habit that I found has been incredible for my self-improvement journey is having a mindful habit.

208

Now I want to keep this one quite broad

209

and I never want to be the person to tell you

210

that this is the habit that you need to adopt

211

and this is how you need to do it because we're all very different in terms of how we like to learn, how we like to process.

212

So when I say having a mindful habit, I'm talking about distraction-free time and space for yourself.

213

So one could say that the phone-free time that I shared before is a mindful habit.

214

But let's go a little bit deeper.

215

You know, within that time, you can have no phone, but if you're watching Netflix or doing something else, then that is kind of redundant.

216

So what are we choosing to do in that time?

217

For me, a mindful habit looks like meditation, maybe journaling, maybe just sitting there and just being with my own thoughts, right?

218

Thinking about them.

219

Whatever you choose to make this mean, I mean, it could even be like going on a silent walk, right?

220

Where you don't have any distraction and you're just really present in the moment.

221

Any form of mindful habit, I think, is really key to anyone on a self-improvement journey because you have that time with yourself.

222

And if you're trying to grow and evolve as a person, but you're not connected or plugged into what's actually going on in you right now, what you're thinking, where your head's at,

223

where your mindset is, reflecting on the way you think and feel about things,

224

you're almost operating from a point of assumption, right? you're assuming what's going on without actually plugging in.

225

So having a mindful habit in your routine is really important for you to establish where things are at, where you're currently at, so that any efforts you make

226

or whatever you're doing in terms of your routine or your improvement is actually reflective or matches where you're currently at.

227

The eighth habit that I think is really key to anyone on a self-improvement journey is being clear on your priorities.

228

Now, bear with me as I break this down, because I want to talk about it in the context of having spare time

229

and actually feeling it mindfully rather than just doing anything you feel like doing.

230

So when I talk about the balance theory and the concept of balance, we talk about the three areas of our life.

231

So our health, our relationships and our fulfillment.

232

We speak about these areas as gardens.

233

Now, with gardens, they generally need a bit of sun and a bit of water in order to survive right?

234

And we call these our non-negotiables.

235

They're the bare essentials that each garden bed needs in order to survive.

236

Our non-negotiables.

237

That's our first type of priorities.

238

If I was to hypothetically add some fertilizer,

239

that's only going to bolster the growth and the liveliness of that garden.

240

It won't be dead without it.

241

It's only going to be a value add.

242

And that is how I look at the second area of priorities, which I call our wants.

243

So when I take you guys through the priority lists, we've got our non-negotiables, which are akin to our sun and water for our garden beds.

244

It's the bare essentials.

245

It's the things they need to thrive.

246

And then we've got our wants.

247

These are the would be nice to have and would only be a bonus value add to those garden beds.

248

let's talk about a practical example let's say

249

that is in our relationships let's say with my romantic relationship

250

so with my husband I have a non-negotiable

251

that we spend quality time together we have kind of like a date night right at least once a week

252

and we've also now evolved and we um

253

because our working schedules are completely different right so when we sit down and have dinner, we have a non-negotiable that there's no phones, no tech, and we just,

254

we actually talk and communicate because it's really easy to get stuck in everything you're doing

255

and not share that with the person you're with.

256

So for us, that's our non-negotiables.

257

That forms our sun and water on our non-negotiable priority list.

258

Now, if I'm talking about the wants, it would be nice to have a second date night to maybe spend a morning together instead of a night.

259

So those things would go on my wants priority list.

260

Why is this important?

261

Generally what we do is we will build out our time, our week with our non-negotiables.

262

So these are the things that for our health, our relationships and our fulfillment are non-negotiable to make sure that those areas are alive and well,

263

that they are tended to and that basically forms our balance.

264

But naturally we're going to have these gaps in time.

265

We're going to have this spare time And if we get to that spare time and we fill it with random stuff,

266

things that we've said yes to that we don't really want to go to, those things can be really not conducive to the life we're trying to create.

267

So the intention

268

or the aim to have this second priority list is basically to have a menu of options of things

269

that you can do when you do have that spare time

270

because you've already identified that they would only be a value add to the things that are non-negotiables.

271

So basically what I'm trying to say is instead of just filling your time with whatever that's not really mindful, that may actually not be contributing to helping these areas thrive,

272

you can actually build out a secondary list of wants that

273

if you choose to spend your time doing those things is going to bolster those areas.

274

if this is something you're really interested in I did do

275

a free 20 minute talk on stage where I actually take

276

you through how to work out your balance how to do these priority lists there's a free worksheet

277

that goes with it I'll drop a link on the video now

278

and I'll put a link in the show notes to it as well

279

and you can actually work out what that looks like for you

280

but basically the habit here is filling your spare time with things

281

that are still priorities so that your time is spent in a very intentional and aligned way.

282

There's a caveat to this.

283

And this is the ninth habit, which is this thing I like to call no agenda time.

284

So I don't think it's realistic to have 24 seven of your routine planned and coordinated and organized, right?

285

That's not the intention with having these priorities front of mind.

286

The intention with that is to be clear on what matters for you

287

so that the things you're doing in your life actually align and make that a reality.

288

But I do think there is a value

289

or a benefit in having just a bit of time and space where you are free to just do whatever, right?

290

There's nothing wrong with having a good scroll sesh or binging Netflix or doing those sorts of things.

291

So what I actually have coined or come up with is this concept of no agenda time.

292

And generally, I like to make this on a Sunday afternoon.

293

It's a two hour block.

294

And it's basically as self-explanatory as what it sounds.

295

It's a time block with no agenda, which means when I get to that day, I can choose in that moment, okay, what I feel like doing, that's what I'm going to do.

296

Whether it be nothing, whether it be watch something on Netflix, whether it be social, go out, stay at home, go to the beach,

297

whatever I feel like doing, I can just do in that time without the thought of priorities and all of that.

298

So this gives you that space to just do what you feel you need to do.

299

But I think this in tandem with being clear on the

300

priorities means you have a really nice well-rounded schedule where your time isn't spent saying yes to people just

301

because you've got nothing else to do or you don't have that clarity, doing things you don't want to do or just getting caught being stuck not doing much at all.

302

Definitely check out that video if this is interesting to you

303

and if you're resonating

304

and feel like it could offer some real benefit in terms of being a habit in your weekly routine.

305

The very last one, I did say I'd save the best till last.

306

This has been a habit that really surprised me.

307

I used to be that kind of person

308

that would look at my routine and my schedule in a very rigid and fixed way.

309

You know, I've got A, B, C things to do in the morning.

310

I've got to do those and then I can start my day, right?

311

It was a very rigid way of looking at my routine.

312

But the habit that has been the most profound to my self-improvement journey is actually flexibility.

313

What I mean when I say that is you can have the perfect routine, you can have a list of habits, but if you don't have an element of flexibility,

314

it is virtually impossible for you to move with the ebbs and flows that form life, right?

315

Life happens.

316

If we get really fixed up and wound up that we have to do our routines a certain way,

317

that things have to happen in this perfect order, it doesn't allow for the chaos and unpredictability of life.

318

So flexibility in my routine and having flexibility as a habit or a skill,

319

if you will, means you can wake up one day and have a gym sesh planned, but feel emotionally you're not there.

320

Physically, you need more rest.

321

So maybe you convert that to something low impact, like a walk.

322

This happens actually to me last week.

323

it means that when I said I was going to do a whole recording block on the weekend

324

and I woke up that day and I wasn't feeling aligned

325

and grounded in myself

326

and I wasn't feeling like I had the energy to show up the way I wanted to I just postponed

327

that and being organized is important for this because

328

if you had no choice

329

but to do a certain thing on a certain date then your hands are kind of tied

330

and you have to do things irrespective how you feel right

331

But if you're organized and if you bring in this element of flexibility, it means you can really embrace things when you've got the right energy to do them.

332

And I only bring this up because it's been

333

so powerful in terms of the way I look at my time and my balance.

334

But because I really used to be stuck in this rigid mindset,

335

where it left me was a position where I almost was landlocked in by it.

336

I was handcuffed to my routine.

337

And the point of a routine is to give you flexibility and clarity in where you're going.

338

And looking at it in a very rigid way was doing nothing but that.

339

It meant I was going against my intuitive nature.

340

It means I was being inauthentic for the sake of ticking things off my to-do list

341

when I felt like my time would be spent doing something else better.

342

So again, this is why like having the two different priority lists is really important because you can start to say, okay, I can see when something is a non-negotiable, I can see when something is a want,

343

and I can see when I need to switch in between the things.

344

I can see when a non-negotiable needs to be adapted or made a little more flexible because it's too rigid.

345

And I think just if you start thinking about the concept of flexibility in terms of your routine, it's a really, really powerful one to make sure you're not a slave to it, basically.

346

That's where I felt like I was many, many times in the past.

347

I was just a slave to my routine

348

and it was really hindering the whole point of having one in the first place.

349

So that personally for me has been one of my favorite skills

350

or habits to implement in terms of me growing as a person and being on this self-improvement journey.

351

So those are the 10 habits that I feel have been incredible for my self-improvement journey.

352

They're the habits that I'm adopting right here and now in this moment.

353

and like what I always say with balance, it's a changing concept.

354

So maybe in 10 years from now, this 10 list of habits will look different or will be shifted a little bit.

355

But these are what's working for me right now.

356

I would love to hear if you guys are currently already thinking about some of these.

357

Maybe you've got them in your routine already.

358

Maybe you've got some other habits that I haven't spoken about that you'd love to share.

359

Make sure you drop them in the comments below.

360

Don't forget to hit subscribe and the bell notification so you don't miss any new content that comes out.

361

And it also really helps us reach more people like me

362

and you who are on a similar path

363

and really need the same kind of content

364

or way of thinking to help them shift into creating a life that's more aligned for them.

365

Thank you guys so much for tuning in to another episode and I can't wait to share next week's guest.

366

I'll see you all next week for the interview and until then, stay balanced.
