The self-improvement trap

👇🏻 to test whether we are trapped in self-improvement.

1) You are crazy to watch these Motivation Mindset TedTalk clips. These are not available. You have to open them to remove these data.

2) You really like Non-Fiction books. I found a bookstore. I asked to buy two books, but I never read them.

3) You feel that you have to take every course we want to do or you will not feel good enough.

4) You're crazy about equipment, technique, more than the core of action.

The more we accept, the less we can build. I've been thinking about this trap for years. Now, the best thing to recommend is to do it in a simple way.

... Read moreหลายคนคงเคยเจอปัญหานี้เหมือนกัน คือการอยากพัฒนาตนเองแต่กลับติดอยู่ในวงจรที่เหมือนจะได้ความรู้มากแต่สุดท้ายไม่ก้าวหน้าไปไหน เช่น การติดคลิปวิดีโอพัฒนาตัวเองอย่าง Motivation Mindset หรือ TedTalk เยอะมากในแต่ละวัน แต่ไม่ได้ลงมือทำจริงๆ หรือชอบซื้อหนังสือแนว Non-Fiction เก็บไว้โดยที่ไม่ได้อ่านจนจบ นี่แหละคือกับดักสำคัญที่ทำให้เราไม่สามารถพัฒนาได้จริง ผมเองเคยเป็นแบบนี้มาก่อน ตอนนั้นเต็มไปด้วยความตั้งใจ แต่พอมองย้อนกลับมา พบว่าใช้เวลาไปกับการเสพข้อมูลมากกว่าการลงมือทำจริงๆ ผมจึงเริ่มปรับเปลี่ยนด้วยการลดปริมาณข้อมูลที่เสพ และเน้นการเรียนรู้ไปพร้อมกับการลงมือทำแบบง่ายๆ ให้มันเป็นกิจวัตรประจำวัน เช่น แทนที่จะดูคลิปมากมาย ก็เลือกดูแค่คลิปที่ช่วยแก้ปัญหาตรงจุดที่กำลังเจอจริงๆ หรือแทนที่จะซื้อหนังสือใหม่ ก็เลือกอ่านหนังสือที่มีอยู่แล้วให้จบก่อน นอกจากนี้ การพยายามเก็บสะสมเทคนิคหรืออุปกรณ์แพงๆ เพื่อช่วยพัฒนาตนเอง ก็อาจทำให้เราหลงทางได้ เพราะสิ่งสำคัญที่สุด คือการลงมือทำจริงและมีวินัยในการฝึกฝนอย่างต่อเนื่อง หากคุณรู้สึกเหมือนติดกับดักการพัฒนาตนเอง ลองทำตามคำแนะนำนี้ดูครับ เริ่มจากลดปริมาณข้อมูลที่ไม่จำเป็น เลือกเรียนรู้ที่จำเป็นจริงๆ ลงมือทำง่ายๆ ให้เป็นกิจวัตร แล้วคุณจะเห็นการพัฒนาอย่างเป็นรูปธรรม และรู้สึกมีความสุขในการเดินทางของการพัฒนาตนเองมากขึ้นแน่นอน

Self love 💕 self care 🌸 self improvement 🥰
Self-care is very important you have to love yourself before you can do anything or talk to anyone. Without self-love, you’re not gonna be able to survive in this world. You can try to find love your life when you don’t love yourself. You can try to search for other things you don’t love yourself.
