Blinkist

Without even realizing it, you may be orienting your life around avoiding some discomfort from your past. It can be hard to face, but maybe your family had money issues, or you were lonely or felt powerless for some time. 😕 Many of your decisions as an adult may have been about avoiding those feelings. So we want to ask: Are you making decisions based on what you want or what you DON'T want? 👇 Try out the exercise below to work on shifting your perspective and rekindling agency in your life. 👇 🔗 This exercise is from our Guide, Build a Sense of Self-Worth with Dr. Najwa Zebian: https://lnkd.in/e9dFJeKD ℹ Dr. Najwa Zebian is an activist, speaker, educator, and author. In this Guide, she offers you tools and advice to (re)calibrate your sense of self-worth to find it within yourself. Learn how to make decisions based on what you want, find self-compassion, and begin to free yourself from someone else’s idea of who you should be.

Try naming the set of animals at the top of this picture. Now look at the second set of animals below and try to name them. Your habits may get in the way. 👀 We have a habit of reading and automatically interpreting the words, so even when we know the picture says otherwise, habits get in the way of correctly labeling the animals. 🐐 🐖 🦆 💡 What you’ve just encountered is the feeling of acting on habit. Sometimes these habits are so deeply ingrained in us, that we barely acknowledge them as learned behaviors. But rest assured our behaviors are learned and they can also be unlearned over time If we wish to change. 🔗 This exercise is taken from our Guide, Breaking Bad Habits with Wendy Wood, where you can discover the science behind habit-building: https://lnkd.in/d9KjSvnt ℹ Wendy Wood is a professor of psychology and business at the University of Southern California, and the author of "Good Habits, Bad Habits."
