Finally, next! You are a Badass review part 6

Finally, we are getting my final review of You are a Badass by Jen Sincero.

This time, I would like to share you about the almighty decision that occasionally hit you in the middle of the road, and it’s your responsibility to take it precisely.

Making decision is crucial, the first thing you do to change your life is decide to go for it. In order to know what is your true decision, you should know that deep in your heart you want that thing so bad. 

That way, you don’t waste your time for some sort of negotiating that make you doubt of your decision.

Once you decide it, stick to it like it holds your life. No matter how hard or rough the process, just bear it. Because you are in the midst of achieving your goals.

Successful people are willing to get out of their comfort zone, to be uncomfortable is the new challenge to keep moving forward to their goals. If you want the new life, you should be ready with adapting and adjusting. By adapting and adjusting means that you should be able to doing something you never do before. Make yourself new habit that leads you to a new successful life.

Do not listen to others people telling you are not good enough to reach what your goals. Because once you set your goals, and it does spark joy to you, then you know that goals are yours. So you just have to walk to every little path to reach that goal.

In Islam, if you’ve done everything you should do, you just have to tawakkul to Allah. Tawakkul means that you have faith in God that He will give you the right result in answer all your effort. And, Jen Sincero explained in one chapter on how you should remember to surrender that gave same vibe as Tawakkul.

Surrender is about allowing yourself to be helped. For some reason, your only effort isn’t enough to cover it all, so you need the other power to help you to achieve your goals. However, you have to let that power to help you. By letting it, you have to have faith and believe that the help will approach you.

Surrendering is the part where you hand the job over to The Universe.

Once you believe that everything you wanted to be already exist, you automatically surrender. Surrender is the powerful form of faith because you send off your effort to be destined by another hand, not yours.  If between your effort and surrender is intertwining each other, you already know that you will achieve the goals.

And you know that you are capable to love yourself because you are a badass.

Fear stops life. You are a Badass review part 5

We knew all the dos to self-development, but we never knew the exact don’ts. So here are the don’ts we should avoid and that marked my 5^th review of You are a Badass by Jen Sincero.

In life with so much going on in our life, we became overwhelmed.

Life is an illusion created by your perception.

 

Life is all about how we see things, so it’s changeable depending on the moment that we decide to put the perspective on. Thus, it can be said that in fact, all the possibility is there hanging around us, but our focus is directed to something else, that we don’t see the opportunity come. However, sometimes we became overwhelmed and didn’t notice in every little detail our life has given.

Be aware of your surrounding, what you gain in your journey.

Being overwhelmed has something to do with procrastination.

Procrastination is one of the most popular forms of self-sabotage because it’s really easy.

Procrastination is as easy as you choose to finish all the Korean drama episode instead on finish your bundle of a project, write a journal to be exact. It may seem relaxing to be cuddling with your blanket not knowing your task start to piling-up. However, at the end of the day, it contributes more than half the percentage of anxious to your life. You get depressed, and instead to start doing all your job, you would crying your inability to stay productive.

So, set your mind, and start to do the things you should be doing. Procrastination may be the huge reason why you are still in your room being caught up with unnecessary stress, whereas you can be in another side of the world enjoying the most expensive ice cream in the world.

To overcome procrastination, you can simply look at each task separately, and start doing it each by each. Because our brains can easily get overwhelmed when we try to do it all in one time.

Next don’ts is our afraid habit.

I probably talk about fear all the time, because in fact, fear is all the reason why we stuck in the same place.

On the other side of your fear is your freedom.

Fear is what distance us from our freedom. As a woman, we may get relieved to give a love letter and a bouquet of flowers to our crush, but our fears on what others would think about us, women is what stops us. Fear is about perspective, if you see that women confess first is an okay thing, you can go ahead and go fearlessly.

Face your fears with the truth, that they are all in your mind, and they will lose their power over you.

Fear is also all about open your mind. Open minded people gave you the best surrounding and give the most impact to yourself. Your surrounding is like your mirror, that defines who you are.

Your life is happening right now, so don’t miss all the time you have. Start right now, and take all the opportunity that approach you.

You are Doing Amazing Sweetie! You are a Badass review part 4

Now that we already knew how to love ourselves, I would like to invite you to the more in-depth explanation on how to exercise your body and mind to help you develop your inner badass. Thus, we are entering the 4^th part of my book review to You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero.

In order to gather your inner badass, you should try meditating. Meditation keeps you focus on several things that are necessary to help you develop. It’s as easy as close your eyes, and feel your breath. Practice to it anytime possible so you can master it precisely. It doesn’t have to be perfect meditation, but it should give you the peace and focus that you desire.

Meditation is when you talk and make some arrangement with your thoughts. Your thoughts have the most in charges beside your intuition, so you might as well be friended with your thoughts.

Your thoughts are intertwining with your reality. So if you want to change your reality, you should be in control with your thoughts. Change your way to think, open your mind widely. Surround yourself with people who think the way you want to think.

Live like you only live once, they said.

But it’s true, tho.

We have limited time to live in this surprising world, so you might as well make the most out of it. Do everything what you wanted to do fearlessly as if it’s your last time on earth. Because sometimes, thoughts that we incapable of doing it are the one that stops us. Take off all the pressure and fear that getting in your way. Act as if you are an eternal beginner. Beginner thoughts will never get satisfied with everything. And once you feel you are an Expert, all the excitement to know-all are gone.

Next thing to master is gratitude.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

Having gratitude is accept all your yin and yang of yourself. It’s the manner of accept and make the most out of it. When you grateful for yourself, you start to allow yourself to grow. You can feel your body feel great when you give and receive. You aren’t afraid of the possible income, instead, you face all your self-doubt and believe that everything is gonna be okay.

Grateful also meant to say thanks to your past because it dang-well gave you a lot of lessons. And this all forgive things is all about you, not the other way around. Forgive is meant to let yourself breath for all the pain that has been holding you to grow. It’s about owning your own happiness, and desire to feel good, instead of the anger and resentment get in control of you.

Forget about it. Just forget and forgive, after all, you probably forget about it eventually, so just let it go.

And most importantly, relax.

Just Netflix and chill, the said.

You have gone through all the way here so you might give yourself time to breath. Just enjoy every little piece of your journey. No need to rush, just be sure that you eventually be there.
