Win Your Week
Welcome to Win Your Week - our weekly blog on all things motivation, mindfulness, life hacks and more! When something goes wrong do you tend to chalk it up to your own doing or other factors outside of your control? The way you answer this question is largely determined by a psychological construct known as âlocus of controlâ. Locus of control refers to the degree to which we feel a sense of agency in our lives. We can fall anywhere between a high internal to a high external locus of control.Â
You may have heard the saying âyou are the average of the five people you surround yourself withâ. A large part of setting ourselves up for success and âwinning our weekâ is introducing productive practices and being mindful of or discarding practices that are less productive and this extends to the people we spend our time with. Â
When it comes to relationships, we are greatly influenced by the people around us. In fact, our relationships affect our self-esteem, our way of thinking and our decisions. So, today we want to discuss the quality of our relationships and if they are serving us in a positive way.Â
But how often are we actually stopping and looking around at the people we are surrounded by and thinking we need to make changes?
Find yourself continually comparing yourself to other? Here's how to break the unhealthy cycle! These strategies can help you think about yourself more positively. When you stop comparing yourself to others and turn your focus inward, you start being better at what really matters: being you.
You may have heard the saying âcomparison is the thief of joyâ. This sentiment is particularly relevant today, especially with our constant access to social media and peopleâs curated and seemingly perfect lives. So, today we want to talk about comparison, where is comes from and how we combat it before it takes over our lives - and hopefully by the end you'll be inspired to WIN YOUR WEEK!
