John Spencer Ellis+FollowWe tend to overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in a year. But, what if we just strive to improve ourselves in each way just one percent each day?  That’s reasonable. Examples:  Safely increase the intensity of your workout just one percent.  Increase self-awareness over our eating habits just one percent.  Be just one percent kinder to a stranger.  Improve our sleep quality just one percent each night.  think about anything g negative just one percent less.  You get the idea. It can’t be that difficult. And when I say these things, I’m reminding myself as well as wanting to help you. Let’s go!!! #bettereachday #selfimprovement #personalgrowth #emotionalintelligence 90Share
John Spencer Ellis+FollowProgress always. Always progress. It’s possible to view every day as an opportunity when you adopt the correct frame of mind. Surely there are some days that are more productive, valuable, and exciting than others. However, if you and I can view each day as a new opportunity to share a great experience with someone we love, try some new delicious food, learn something valuable, or take an opportunity for gratitude….. each day can be an opportunity to move upward and onward. #bettereachday #dailyroutine #personalgrowth #selfimprovement 30Share
