Write Down Your Good And Bad Qualities

habits you would like to develop and work on developing them. Every time we tend to revert back to the old negative mental habits, remind yourself of the mental map that you are following. Remind yourself of the end results you would like to achieve in your life, and always assess your progress according to these mental maps.

Write Down Your Good And Bad Qualities

It would also be beneficial to you to write down your good and bad qualities. Then make a “to-do” list on how to improve your good qualities to make them better, and another “to-do” list on how to overcome your bad qualities. Follow the example of Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. In his life, he gave himself timeline on improving different virtues which he wanted to develop in himself. He created for himself a hierarchy of virtues which he desired to strengthen every month. He made sure that he note down his progress in that virtue every day. In the end, he became the most prolific and most loved American in both the United States and France, and maybe all throughout the world. There is something good in writing down the things we would like to achieve because our conscious mind usually has very short memory; it has to be reminded every once in a while.

The previous example of writing down the list of items we would like to buy in the grocery store is perfect in explaining the very short span of memory we have. It saves us a lot of effort and time in our daily life if we know how to make the “todo” list. Likewise, it keeps us focused. If we usually take note when we plan some non-essential things every day, we can also do this in planning our life and I know it will reap you the best results. So start with identifying your qualities
