We all have an idea of what we want to be that is our ideal self, but for some reason, you are unable to be that person you want to be, their personalities and their traits, but you can’t get it right. This is something that I have been battling for years; I always had a desire to have a great life; however, a lot happened along the way, and I lost track of what I wanted and resigned to accepting where I was.
This year has been even tumultuous with the pandemic and life being increasingly more challenging; it seemed that survival was more important than chasing your dreams. However, I failed to realize that this could also be an excellent opportunity to reinvent myself. I pretty had nothing to lose, and therefore choosing to pursue my goals actively was not such a bad idea after all.
I decided that I needed to start building the life I want, and I chose to participate in the 21 days level up challenge started by Kenya group of high-value women. This group has been so beneficial to me as I have met like-minded women to share and learn from as we embark on our level-up journey.
You might be wondering, how do I go about the level up journey? This is what you need to know.
Introspection.
Most people know that they need an upgrade. But believe that that can only happen when they have a great job, better salary, or succeed in business .however, those are excuses to distract you from the core problems in your life, your lack of self-esteem, and the fear of change. Be honest with yourself. List the issues that you know you need to change. This was the most challenging part; however, I knew I needed a change, and lying to myself was not going to cut it.
Determine what you want.
After assessing your situation as it currently is. Determine what you want, do you want a new job, a provider man, or maybe have a sort of influence in your field, buy a home? Those are the wants that you wish to meet. List them down.
Research.
After listing down what you want to achieve, it would help if you did some research. Are your wants and needs achievable? If yes, search and learn from those who have managed to achieve the goals you have set for yourself.
Make A Plan.
Create a realistic plan and set daily or weekly goals depending on the time you have given yourself to achieve your goals.
Implement.
Implement your plan, do not be discouraged if you are unable to meet your goals. Just change your strategy and be patient. Start working on the things you planned to do to get the changes that you so desire.
Evaluate.
How much progress are you making in your journey? Have you been able to achieve some of your goals? Do a daily or weekly evaluation to see how many plans you have been able to achieve.
Do not compare yourself to others
There is nothing as soul-wrenching as seeing people winning on social media, they are so leveled up, and they are in such a good place that you wonder what went wrong in your life. Please do not do it! This is your journey, and we can never be the same. You can be inspired by your peers but remember that you are on different journeys, and there is a reason why your life is different.
Remember leveling up is a journey, and many of you will not be able to achieve your goals and objectives within 21 days, and that is okay. Some of these changes might take years before they are visible. Nonetheless, what count are the determination and work put in the background that matters.
