How to feel better about starting your journey to getting better ft Niall Higgins

Productivity is not an easy task these days with the number of distractions that are present in our lives. This makes it hard to start any new journey we embark upon and to familiarize ourselves with the steps it will take to achieve the goal without suffering through it. Today I sit down with Nile Higgins, a self-improvement coach and singer from South Africa, to discuss ways in which we can make the transition easier for ourselves.   Episode takeaway: 1) Start off small. Highlight the motion steps you can be taking right now towards your main goal. This will help you remain focused on the goal without feeling overwhelmed. It also gives you appreciation for the journey because each small moment allows you to feel gratitude towards the main goal.   2) Try to meet yourself where you are. If you already enjoy a particular task, try to pair it with something you enjoy, for example. I love reading, so I use reading as a way of healing by finding books on things I am currently struggling with. 3) Motivation is not always going to be present every day. Sometimes you are not able to cultivate motivation, and you just have to start the process to develop motivation towards what you want to accomplish.   4) Remember to accept yourself for who you are. You are not a constant self-improvement project. You don't always have to try fixing yourself; by doing that, you are telling yourself that something is always wrong with you. It is all about balance and feeling satisfied with what you do. For more information on the topic, please check out the podcast episode.
