Motivation from the 3-2-1 Newsletter
Motivation & Accountability / by awesomeForever34
Last post
 August 29th, 2025
...See more I'm not usually a fan of subscription newsletters, but I find the 3-2-1 newsletter from James Clear (author of Atomic Habits) to be insightful and not overwhelming.  Every Thursday he shared 3 ideas, 2 quotes and 1 question to reflect on. One of my favourite insights that is motivation-relevant is the following:  "Running one mile has more in common with running a marathon than sitting at home. Investing $100 has more in common with being a millionaire than being broke. Writing one sentence has more in common with writing a book than never writing one. It always feels small in the beginning and the big goals seem far away. It's easy to talk yourself out of the early attempts because they feel kind of meaningless. But every race starts with one step. Every fortune starts with a small deposit. Every book begins as one sentence. The real question is not "What is my current position?" but rather, "What is my current trajectory?" Doing nothing builds nothing. Put yourself on the path to something better. Start small, but make sure you start."* *Note: inspired by this *** caption from Kayla Henry. https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1/august-14-2025

Habit Stacking
Motivation & Accountability / by awesomeForever34

 July 20th, 2025
...See more I've found habit stacking to be very useful in building my motivation and productivity. Though I find they need to come about more naturally rather than being forced.  From my understanding, habit stacking is essentially combining different tasks/ activities so that you get a '2 in 1' effect. I find it helpful to both 'create' more time and to do tasks I feel unmotivated to do.  Mine are as follows: * Each morning as I wait for my coffee to boil, I always put away my dry dishes and wash any remaining ones. It's almost like a race to see what I can get done. And often, because I've built momentum I'll continue until I'm finished tidying the kitchen even after my coffee is ready (though some days I don't continue and that's completely fine too!) * I exercise while watching a tv show. It makes the time pass quicker and I'm more inclined to do a warm up + cool down this way. Side note on exercise: I find it so so so much easier to do now that I do e.g. 45 seconds on 15 seconds rest rather than counting reps/ sets (whatever they're called). * I write a simplified daily diary in my target language. Basically just simple sentences on what I did/ accomplished that day. The 2 in 1 here is that I get to practice my language and writing down what I did helps fight the feeling of "I was so lazy and unproductive today, I didn't get anything done." The bonus is that I'll also have a diary to look back on as I've always struggled to stay consistent with them.  What are your habit stacks? Please share them for inspiration! :)

7 Cups Audio Guided Resources
Mindfulness Center / by awesomeForever34

...See more Hey Everyone!  I just stumbled upon this wonderful 7 Cups resource: Quick & Easy Meditation Guide for Beginners - Four Minute Body Scan [https://www.7cups.com/exercises/mindfulness518/]. This audio guide is specific for mindfulness but there are many other categories to choose from! It seems to be audio embedded guides for various things such as guided mediation.  I thought I'd share this with the community (and I hope this is the right way to do this!) as I wasn't able to find the page through the 7 Cups site itself, but rather I came across it with Google Search. So in case anyone else hasn't seen this before I'd encourage everyone to check it out!  Warm wishes to you all! :)

Long term orientation and visioning
IDG 7 Cups Hub / by awesomeForever34

...See more Long-term orientation means thinking about our long term goals and the consequences of our current actions. This can help us decide on our short term goals AND make us more aware of our current behavior. It encourages us to change habits and avoid letting short-term benefits outweigh long-term consequences.  One goal setting method I've loved learning about on here has been the SMART goal setting. And also the idea of needing to be ready to set goals for ourselves which can require some inner work first. Visioning is one of the ways we can achieve long term orientation by picturing our ideal future so we can then figure out what steps we need to take to get there. One actionable way to do this could be through making a vision board or simply writing down your goals. An important piece of advice for this I'd recommend is researching! This can be a pain but honestly will (hopefully) make things easier in the long run as you can make informed choice AND can even discover options you'd never previously considered (which is something that I experienced in regards to my future career path).  I think that two main challenges I had with these skills are:  * The need for patience * The fact that it can be very overwhelming to the point of procrastination and/or avoidance. What helped me deal with this was turning to my support system  I think these skills really help teach being purposeful i.e. taking control and responsibility which in itself is very empowering.  How do you like to envision your future? Vision boards, writing down goals? Do you follow any goal setting methods like SMART? What's an everyday habit you've started to help achieve your long term goals?

Openness and Learning Mindset

...See more Openness and a learning mindset are skills that allow our relationship with ourselves to continuously grow and adapt. I believe that this growth and adaptation is what leads to progress! But what do these traits truly mean and how can we put them into actionable habits? Openness means being receptive to new things without judgement or fear. So this can involve examining and accepting our own wants, thoughts, and emotions, as well as listening to and exploring new external ideas without allowing pre-existing judgements or beliefs to interfere. This could be made actionable with mindfulness so we reflect on our own thoughts, feelings and beliefs to recognize automatic judgements of either internal or external ideas and learning not to let them affect our choices too much. A learning mindset means looking for new knowledge and perspectives and applying them to our own lives. This can be done through curiosity which can be made actionable with questions.  I really like these skills because it essentially comes down to being accepting and curious.  Personally, one way I've been nurturing my learning mindset is through engaging with this platform which constantly gives me loads of different perspectives and ideas to think about! Another habit of mine is reading the local news including opinion pieces and following up on some of the stories - not only do I usually learn something new and get a different perspective but I also get to feel more connected with my community :)  How do you promote a learning mindset in your life, both in big and small ways?
