By practicing Kaizen, you develop a mindset that views challenges as opportunities to grow rather than obstacles to avoid.
This shift in perspective (looking through new glasses) - shifting from avoiding behavior - not wanting to see what is โwrongโ because it brings up emotions, we donโt want to feelโฆto having the courage to see and feel exactly what is happening as a way to use the power of the challenge to create what you do want and grow exponentially.
When you train your brain to โre-frameโ what you first see as a challenge and practicing this again and again also develops neuroplasticity to automatically create a mindset where you become an observer, the core of every spiritual practice.
The practice of Kaizen also makes you more resilient and open to new experiences.
A key aspect of Kaizen is regularly evaluating what's working and what's not so you identify areas for personal improvement and celebrate your progress.
By emphasizing progress over perfection, Kaizen helps you let go of the need to have everything just right from the startโฆthat crazy perfection loop. It reduces stress and makes it easier to take the first step toward your goals.
Remember it is all about taking the micro-choices - that every step forward, no matter how small, is valuable.
Kaizen was used by Toyota but absolutely is easy to implement its practices in your personal life:
๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ: Begin with minor adjustments to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Don't jump into huge changes straightaway; think small and sustainable.
๐๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ: Define specific, achievable objectives. For instance, instead of โI will get fit,โ try โI will walk 3,000 steps daily.โ
๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐% ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐: Focus on improving by just 1% each day. Small steps lead to big Kaizen events.
๐๐ซ๐๐๐ค ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ: Use tools to help you keep track of your progress, such as a journal, app, or even a simple checklist.
๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ: Set aside time weekly to review what's working and what's not. Review not only what your intention was but more importantly what was your way of BEING. Then adjust first your way of being.
๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ: Reward yourself for milestones, no matter how small.
Remember, it's not about intensity and giant leaps forward; consistency is key. Small micro-changes practiced daily lead to extraordinary results over time.
๐๐๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ: Start small, and remember that tiny wins are still wins, and they add up faster than you think.
๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ : Pair a new habit with something you love, like practicing mindfulness during your morning coffee or organizing your desk while listening to a favorite podcast.
๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐-๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง: We all make mistakes, and that's okay. Instead of focusing on what went wrong, ask yourself, โWhat ways of being are needed to keep you on trackโ.
๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ: A weekly reflection or a small treat can keep motivation alive.
Canโt wait to hear more about your ways of beingโฆ
With love,
