The Easier Way to Improve Your Life

It’s said that your habits eventually become your destiny, so if you want success in your life then you have to develop good habits. On that note, one of the better books I’ve read recently is Atomic Habits by James Clear. While I tend to stay away from titles that the bookstore seems to have bought too much of, I found out there was a pretty good reason why it’s recommended so much after reading it. It’s actually really good as there’s a lot of useful and important information inside.

Of course, reading alone is useless if you don’t apply what you learned so among the things I learned there I’m currently trying out habit stacking, the 2 minute rule, and setting up your environment. There are so many more lessons and examples inside, but for this article, we’re going to talk about that last one as it’s one of the easiest, and probably one of the most impactful.

Your habits change depending on the room you are in and the cues in front of you. Environment is the invisible hand that shapes human behavior.

James Clear

Your actions and choices are based on your environment

You stay quiet at a library, you drink and dance at clubs, you work while in the office, and you get wary when you’re on a dangerous street at night. Obviously, depending on where you are, you will act differently, and that’s one way that your actions and choices differ depending on your environment.

As for how else your environment affects your choices and habits, let’s have some other examples. Let’s say you want to be healthier, but the only food in your house is junk food. You want to have a stronger body, but you have no exercise equipment and there’s no gym in your area. You want to learn how to be a better person, how to invest money, or how to become a better leader, but you never bought any books about those things you want to learn.

Do you think you’d be successful in those things that you want to do? Of course not. Sadly that’s how most of our lives are built. Somehow, the environment we live in just ended up that way because it’s what’s easy or convenient. We also just copied what’s popular, what other people around us do, and we keep doing things that have always been done that way even though it’s no longer good for us.

Carl Jung, a famous psychologist, once said that unless we make the subconscious conscious, it will direct our lives and we shall call it fate. In other words, unless we pay attention to things we’ve been doing automatically, then those things will shape our future, for better or worse. Unfortunately, those include bad habits that ruin our lives.

So what can we do about it then? Building good habits is usually pretty hard. You’d need a lot of time and willpower, but most of us are just too tired and busy with our jobs and all of our responsibilities.

Fortunately there’s an easier way to build good habits which is the easier way to improve your life.

Para sa iyo, ano ang ibig sabihin ng kaligayahan? Ito ba’y ang pagkamit ng iyong mga pinakaimportanteng goals o layunin sa buhay? Ito ba’y nasa pagkamit ng mga bagay na gusto mo? Ito ba’y sa pagiging mapagpasalamat at kontento sa lahat ng iyong mga nakamit na? Ito ba’y nasa buhay na walang malubhang problema pati na rin sa kakayahang masolusyonan ang mga problema sa buhay tuwing lumilitaw sila?

Lagi kong natitipuan ang mga libro tungkol sa self-help at self-improvement (pagpapabuti sa sarili). Karamihan sa mga ito ay mayroong mga mahahalagang aral na makapagpapabuti sa iyong pagkatao at kalidad ng iyong buhay, at ang pinakamagagandang libro ay hindi lang naglalaman ng mga kwentong nagbibigay ng inspirasyon, sila rin ay may mga pruebang galing sa psychological research. Ang mga dekalidad na libro, video, at mga seminars ay hindi lang magtuturo ng mga kaalamang nakapagbibigay ng mas mabubuting oportunidad (hal. people skills, time management, productivity, atbp.), sila rin ay nagtuturo ng mga mental at psychological skills na makakatulong sa iyong maging mas matagumpay sa mga oportunidad na nahahanap mo. Bukod pa doon, naituturo din nila kung paano mo masosolusyonan ang stress at problemang makakaharap mo sa buhay.

Napakaraming mabubuting kaalaman sa mundo ang pwede nating matutunan, at ang mga ito ay talagang makakapagpabuti ng ating kasalukuyang sitwasyon at ng ating kinabukasan. Ipagpatuloy mo lang ang pagbabasa nito dahil ito ang limang dahilan kung bakit ang self-improvement o pagpapabuti ng sarili ay makakapagbigay ng kaligayahan sa buhay.

Five Reasons Why Self-Improvement Brings Happiness

July 27, 2022 by Ray L. Leave a Comment

Tagalog Version (Click Here)

How do you define happiness? Is it achieving your most important goals? Is it obtaining the things you want most? Is it being grateful and content with what you have achieved so far? Is it in living without major problems, as well as in having the ability to solve life’s problems as they come?

I’ve always been a fan of self-help and self-improvement books. Most of the better ones contain a lot of lessons that can make you a better person and improve your quality of life, and the very best ones not only contain the usual inspirational stories and lessons, they are also backed by psychological research. Great quality books, videos, and seminars won’t just teach you skills that can lead to better opportunities (e.g. people skills, time management, productivity, etc.), they can also teach you mental and psychological skills that can let you become more successful at the opportunities that you find. Aside from that, they can teach you how to anticipate and manage all the stresses and future problems that you’ll face in life.

There are so many great things out there that we can learn, and they can definitely improve our present and our future. Keep reading, because here are five reasons why self-improvement brings happiness.

Tatlong Dahilan Kung Bakit Kailangan mong Pag-isipan ang Iyong Pagkatao sa Iyong Kinabukasan

English Version (Click Here)

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero para sa akin kapansin-pansin ang pamagat ng libro na Personality isn’t Permanent (ni Dr. Benjamin Hardy, PhD). Hindi ko muna ito binili, pero nanatili ito nang matagal sa aking isipan. Buti na lang, pagdaan ng ilang buwan, may malaking discount at naging mas mura ang digital Kindle version nito kaya nabili ko siya agad.

Tama nga ang kutob ko. Mayroon ngang napakahalagang aral doon tungkol sa ating personal growth at self-improvement (pagpapabuti sa ating pagkatao) at natuwa ako nang husto dahil sa mga natutunan ko doon.

Ang pangunahing punto ng librong iyon, kung babasahin mo ang pamagat niya, ay nagbabago ang ating personality o pagkatao habang nagdadaan ng panahon. Kung iisipin mo, totoo naman diba? Ilang matatanda na nagtratrabaho na ngayon ang kapareho pa rin noong nasa high school sila? Ilang mga taong nasa kwarenta anyos na ngayon ang pareho pa rin ang pagkatao noong bente anyos pa lang sila? Malamang kakaunti lamang. Ang mahiyaing introvert ay pwedeng maging matatag na pinuno, at ang mahilig magparty at walang bahala sa buhay ay pwedeng maging mas mapag-isip na intelektwal. Halata naman na ang mga tao ay magiging mas-mature habang tumatanda diba?

Gayunpaman, pag-isipan mo ito.

Ilan ang nagkaroon ng masamang ugali dahil sa trauma na nangyari noong sila ay bata pa? Ilan ang mga na-bully noong kanilang kabataan kaya sila’y naging sobrang mahinhin, o naging mapang-abuso sa trabaho? Ilan ang bumagsak sa mga tests sa iskwelahan, napagalitan ng sobra, naisip sa sarili na “hindi talaga ako matalino” at naitatak ito sa kanilang utak? Ilan ang hindi makasabay sa kanilang mga kaibigan sa sports kaya tumatak ang “hindi talaga ako magaling” sa kanilang self-image o paningin sa sarili? Ilang mga mapang-abusong mga magulang ang naging ganoon dahil inabuso din sila noong sila’y bata pa?

Kung mayroon tayong mga masasamang karanasan at mga trauma katulad ng mga iyon, pinipigilan kaya nila tayong subukan ang ilang panibagong bagay, tulad ng mga mabubuting gawain at libangan (habits and hobbies), na makakapagpabuti nang husto sa ating buhay? Pinipigilan kaya nila tayong magsimula dahil iniisip natin na ang mga epekto ng mga masasamang karanasang iyon ay bahagi na ng ating pagkatao (personality) habang-buhay (permanent)?

Iyon ang pinakamahalagang aral sa librong iyon tungkol sa ating psychology. Nagbabago tayo habang nagdadaan ang panahon, at pwede nating KONTROLIN ang mga pagbabagong iyon. Pwede nating piliin kung anong bahagi ng ating pagkatao ang gusto nating baguhin at pagbutihin. Walang permanente sa ating pagkatao o personality, lalong lalo na ang ating mga masasamang asal at trauma.

Pwede tayong maging mas-confident/malakas ang loob, mas mapagbigay, at mas mature kung ginusto natin. Pwede tayong maging disiplinado at mas matapang upang tayo ay magtagumpay sa mga pinapahalagahan natin sa buhay, tulad ng ating mga career/trabaho, relationships, kalusugang pisikal at emosyonal, at marami pang iba.

Bago natin magawa iyon, kailangan nating isipin kung anong klaseng tao ang gusto nating maging. Kailangan nating seryosohin at pagplanuhang mabuti ang ating magiging pagkatao sa ating kinabukasan.

Three Reasons Why You Should Think about Your Future Self

January 7, 2022 by Ray L. Leave a Comment

Tagalog Version (Click Here)

There was something about the title Personality isn’t Permanent (by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, PhD) that really got my attention. I didn’t buy it at first, but something about it stayed in my mind. Thankfully, a few months later the digital Kindle version had a huge discount so I bought it right away. 

My intuition was right. That book DID contain some extremely valuable lessons on personal growth and self-improvement and I’m very glad to have learned about them.

The main point of the book, if you haven’t guessed from the title, is that our personalities change over time. If you think about it, it’s pretty obvious. How many working adults are the same as who they were back in high school? How many 40-year olds are exactly the same as their 20-year old selves? Most likely very few. Extremely shy introverts can become outgoing leaders, and reckless party animals can become more intellectual and contemplative. Obviously, people mature and grow over time, right?

Think about this though.

How many of us develop some negative personality traits because of some trauma from our childhood? How many of us who have been bullied as kids grow up to become extremely shy and reserved, or become bullies at work? How many of us failed some tests, got scolded by our parents, and had the thought “I’m not very smart” etched into out minds? How many of us couldn’t keep up with other kids at sports and had “I’m not strong or athletic” marked into our self-image? How many abusive adults were the result of their parents abusing them as children?

Are those bad experiences and traumas holding us back from trying new things, such as good habits and hobbies that can improve our lives, because we think the effects of those traumatic events are a part of our personalities and are therefore “permanent”?

That is the most important lesson within that psychology book. We grow and change over time, and we can CONTROL that change. We can choose what part of ourselves we want to change for the better. Nothing in our personalities are permanent—not even our toxic habits and traumas.

We can be more confident, more generous, and more emotionally mature if we really want to. We can be the kind of person who is disciplined and courageous enough to succeed at what we value, such as our careers, relationships, physical and mental health, and more.

To do that, however, we have to imagine what kind of person we want to become. We have to seriously start thinking and planning our future selves.
