One step at a time!

A lot of us are feeling stuck right now, struggling to take a step forwards 

With so much that is unsettling and changing in our world today, having a familiar routine, a path to step along, even if it’s just for a tiny portion of our day, can be the super useful step we can all take to keep us healthy and feeling strong in both mind and body 

This is because taking small steps forwards on a path can give us the positive feeling that we are in control and making progress in our lives, despite being surrounded by chaos 

So, what sort of familiar routine really makes the biggest difference?  

A lot of us know that incorporating some form of movement (exercise) and some form of meditation can often really help. The third practice which experts often recommend is a regular mind-set practice 

Sound a bit unusual? 

Well, recent research from Harvard now confirms what the Ancient Greeks already knew – the mind-set practice of self-reflection is a real game-changer 

Purposeful self-reflection is the Progressfull™ mind-set practice which we are famous for amongst our followers and clients, and is how we make our minds a great place to be, despite all the change in the world around us 

OK, but I don’t have any time and I hate naval gazing - so how do I actually do this in practice? 

We agree, we don’t have a lot of time either, and we think one of the reasons a lot of people feel stuck is because they are spending too much time naval gazing and not enough time taking action to learn and grow

So at Progressfull™ - as those of you who have experienced our Mental muscles Upskill will already know - we believe in the power of ‘taking 10 minutes’ to refresh and recharge, to move, to breathe, to rest, and do 10 minutes of regular purposeful self-reflection, to make our minds a great place to be

Progressfull’s approach is to provide the practical ‘how-to’s’ for people to know how to make their mind a great place to be ... and to make it is as easy as ... 1, 2, 3 

The first step ... 

Is to realise that we want to create change in our life – when we say change, we mean significant change, for example going from feeling wonky and out of control of our life, to feeling like we are living our life on our own terms, no matter what life throws at us, feeling that life is working for us, not against us
 

The second step ... 

Is to experience our transforming 5 Progressfull™ Principle Upskills (our name for a course/masterclass). The 5 Progressfull™ Principles define our 'true north' our personal compass and give us a real sense of 'where we are heading'

 The third step ...

Is building our bench-strength in the Progressfull™ transformational framework, the ARTT of progress™
The ARTT of progress™ is a purposeful self-reflection process and practice which turns our learning into commitments amd actions. The ARTT of progress™ enables us to take our development into our own hands - unlocking our personal progress and professional potential

What’s more, this purposeful self-reflection only takes 10 minutes, so we literally Take 10 for the ARTT of progress™ 

Sustaining our progress each morning or evening with 10 minutes of purposeful self-reflection. It's practical, it's easy, and it can have a profoundly positive effect because it is a practice which is sustainable. Game changing! 

To quote Hesiod the Ancient Greek poet, 

"If you add only a little to a little and do this often, soon that little will become great” 

So that's it ...

Now you know the steps to take to make your mind a great place to be, despite all the change around us 

The guided journey of the 5 Progressfull™ Principles Upskills, introducing us to the Releasing and Restricting practices combined with the regular purposeful self-reflection practice of Take 10 for the ARTT of progress™ is what makes real progress. We make real progress because ARTT is designed to work with the brain, not against it, using our energy for real learning and doing 

Just like we have you can learn and grow by applying the 5 Progressfull™ Principles and then taking 10 minutes each morning or evening for purposeful self-reflection – Take 10 for the ARTT of progress™

To give you an idea, this is what a 10 minute purposeful self-reflection practice can look like… 

3 minutes...

Reading the Progressfull™ Releasing and Restricting practices (which are in the front of our Progressfull Journals)

3 minutes...

Re-reading your notes from previous days to connect with what the 5 Progressfull™ Principles mean for you

4 minutes... 

Noting insights, reflections, actions and achievements

Boom! 10 minutes done! 

Simple as that  – you can take 10 minutes each morning to ‘sort yourself out’ & ‘set yourself up’ - using the ARTT of progress™ our purposeful self-reflection process and practice - so you feel energised, motivated, and on track – no matter what life throws at you

You can unlock your progress and potential and make your mind a great place to be!
