When you don&#8217;t act in accordance with your values and goals, you experience internal conflicts.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">You are working on your project. You are together with your loved ones. You are eating healthy or doing other things. So you are somehow knowingly acting in a contradictory way.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">As most people do, you can justify your contradictory behavior and convince yourself that you are on the way to your dreams. But when you take an honest look at yourself in the mirror, you will see how you have deceived yourself.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"6687820096\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Your actions directly translate into your results. When you consciously sabotage yourself, you cannot fully trust yourself. This will create identity confusion.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Little things create big things. You have to start simple. Do not constantly seek motivation and momentum in yourself. These are very unstable emotions that change momentarily. It doesn&#8217;t matter how much you have them right now. The important thing is this. If you don&#8217;t protect the garden of your life, you&#8217;ll lose it. This is shaped by what you do daily.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">How close are you to your values and goals?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">How much internal conflict do you experience?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Everyone&#8217;s behavior often conflicts with their values and goals. 100% perfection should never be the goal. But we should also know that the consistency and implementation of our values and goals create significant momentum and results.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">As Aristotle said:<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"line nText\">&#8220;You are what you do over and over again.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Or perhaps Albus Dumbledore puts it best:<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"line nText\">&#8220;It is our choices, not our abilities, that show what we truly are.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"9068969645\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/tell-me-what-you-did-today-ill-tell-you-who-you-are\/#We-live-our-lives-in-24-hour-periods\" >We live our lives in 24-hour periods.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/tell-me-what-you-did-today-ill-tell-you-who-you-are\/#Where-can-you-start\" >Where can you start?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/tell-me-what-you-did-today-ill-tell-you-who-you-are\/#Motivation-and-Self-Control-Theory\" >Motivation and Self-Control Theory<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/tell-me-what-you-did-today-ill-tell-you-who-you-are\/#Application-Intentions\" >Application Intentions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/en\/tell-me-what-you-did-today-ill-tell-you-who-you-are\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"line nText\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We-live-our-lives-in-24-hour-periods\"><\/span>We live our lives in 24-hour periods.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"nImage\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/wp-content\/images\/post\/user-5\/smp45d.png\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">We all have 24 hours a day. So if your days aren&#8217;t good, don&#8217;t expect your life to be good. Success is inevitable if you organize to manage your days.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">How was your day today?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Seriously.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Take a look at everything you&#8217;ve done today. Have you acted like the person you wanted to be?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Where will you end up if you spend every day like today until next year?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If you want your goals and dreams to happen, how different does your ideal day have to be from today?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">What does a &#8220;normal&#8221; day look like to achieve your dreams?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">One of the best ways to consciously design your ideal life is to start with your ideal day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">What activities should you do every day to live the life you want exactly? You may be doing well right now on the way to the ideal day. But do they really get you closer to your dreams?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Your ideal day should be based on your own view of the &#8220;good life&#8221;. Because you are the only one who defines happiness and success for yourself.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">For example, one day of successful psychologist Benjamin Hardy goes like this:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">\u25cf 8 hours of deep and healthy sleep.<br \/>\n\u25cf Eating pattern that includes healthy and essential nutrients. He eats at least one meal a day with his wife and children.<br \/>\n\u25cf 30\u201360 minutes of exercise.<br \/>\n\u25cf 15-30 minutes of prayer and meditation (no smartphone).<br \/>\n\u25cf 2-4 hours of participatory learning (no smartphone).<br \/>\n\u25cf 2-3 hours of operation.<br \/>\n\u25cf 2 hours spent with children (no smartphone).<br \/>\n\u25cf 1 hour alone with spouse (no smartphone).<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The order in which these actions occur is not important. You can&#8217;t live two days in precisely the same way anyway.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Successful people agree on one thing about planning their day: how you wake up in the morning largely determines the rest of your day. Generally, if you wake up early with a purpose, the rest of your day will go much better. But if you wake up reactive, it will be harder for things to go right.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Benjamin Hardy says he can&#8217;t find a scientific reason for this. But he says it&#8217;s a holistic one. Wake up, set yourself up for success, drive your body into intense fitness, and then get down to business! So these are all parts of a whole. A chain!<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">One more thing is certain. How we spend our time is in our control. If we refuse to believe that this is so, we have an external and harmful mechanism to control us: the victim mentality. We will never have the power to change our lives until we can honestly look in the mirror and admit that we are the cause of everything.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">What does your ideal day look like?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">How often do you have your ideal day?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If you were to live your perfect day constantly, where would you be a year from now? Where would you be in five years?<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"9068969645\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"line nText\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-can-you-start\"><\/span>Where can you start?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"line nText\">1) Take a few moments to imagine what your ideal day would look like.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">2) Make a list of activities that would be on your ideal day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">3) Keep track of how you spend your days. As you begin to observe your time and become conscious, you will be surprised at how contradictory what you do with your dreams.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Of course, these are easy to say, but it will not be easy to put them into practice. But living consciously and harmoniously is entirely possible. It&#8217;s entirely possible to replace bad habits with good ones. And it is completely possible to <a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/basariya-ulasmak-icin-vazgecmeniz-gereken-seyler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">become the person you want to be<\/a>.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"9068969645\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"line nText\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Motivation-and-Self-Control-Theory\"><\/span>Motivation and Self-Control Theory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"line nText\">When your goals are clear, intrinsically motivating, and time-bound, you&#8217;ll keep going until you&#8217;re successful.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If you lack motivation, there is something wrong with your goals. Either you have the wrong goals, they are not specific enough, or the timeline is not precise enough. (see<a href=\"https:\/\/tr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parkinson_yasas%C4%B1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Parkinson&#8217;s Law<\/a>)<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iaap-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/j.1464-0597.2005.00202.x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to a study<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/basariya-giden-yolun-en-onemli-parcasi-irade-ozdenetim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self-regulation<\/a> is the psychological process that decertifies the discrepancy between our goals and our behavior. The ignition of our motivation helps us get from where we are to where we want to be.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Instead of waiting for ideal conditions, plan for the worst. Exaggerate these things instead of underestimating how much time and effort something will take.<\/div>\n<p><amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"9068969645\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nHR\">\n<hr>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"line nText\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Application-Intentions\"><\/span>Application Intentions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Of course, achieving your goals is not so easy. If it were, everyone would be successful. People often fail to deal with self-control issues while aiming for their goals.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">A lot of research has tried to determine: How do you keep striving for a goal when people are struggling to stay motivated?<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The answer is what psychologists call <b>practice intentions<\/b>, and it is clearly visible in athletes of sports categories whose endurance is important. When a marathon runner starts a tough run, he sets the conditions before he decides to quit. For example: &#8220;If I completely lose my field of view, I will stop.<\/div>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1787826683754973\" data-ad-slot=\"6687820096\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"line nText\">If you do not determine the conditions under which you will stop in advance, you will stop maturing. <a href=\"https:\/\/bigthink.com\/videos\/jesse-itzler-on-living-with-a-navy-seal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to a study<\/a>, most people choose to stand at 40 percent of their actual capacity.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">But the theory of intention to practice goes even further.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">Not only do you need to know the conditions to let go, but you also need to plan for goal-directed behavior when faced with opposing conditions.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">The following story might be a good example:<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">A teenager named Jesse has been an avid smoker for over a decade and smokes several packs a day. Three years ago, he chose the quarantine method by getting professional help to get rid of his addiction (The addict is locked in a room and left to his fate. Usually, the process is completed within 48 hours from the moment of crisis).<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">&#8220;If I was a smoker, I&#8217;d light one right now,&#8221; Jesse says whenever he&#8217;s stressed or angry about something, even though he&#8217;s quit smoking. Then he continues to live his day.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">In other words, quitting smoking is a goal, but you need to determine in advance how you will behave in the face of events that will trigger it.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">You can&#8217;t just want to be successful. You have to plan and prepare for the worst.<\/div>\n<div class=\"line nText\">You will go off the rails often. You need to prepare for the moments when you are not motivated. You can do this by creating triggers that automatically re-trigger your motivation. For example, some of us may be motivated by reading <a href=\"https:\/\/ceotudent.com\/motivasyon-sozleri-motive-edici-sozler\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">motivational words<\/a>. Some of us may be influenced by a movie character.
