    Lara’s 6 Principles
    1) find your ‘why’- get to know yourself, your values, and the ‘why’ factor that keeps you grounded to them. Keep asking yourself why this is important to you and how it affects other aspects of your life until you get a strong chain of values that drive you.
    2)Start somewhere,anywhere. We can overthink and over plan everything, but to think through every possible scenario is impossible. Specially focus on starting what scares you.
    3) Consistency - it’s a sign of your commitment to promises, both to yourself and others. It’s what makes you trustable enough to be held accountable. Show up everyday, if you don’t, it’s either because you are overcommitted, your ‘why’ isn’t strong enough, or you are impatient
    4) Patience. Every moment is irreplaceable. Don’t get caught in the everlasting loop of living in the past/ future. This way your present will become the future, your future will become the present, and you will miss out in living the ‘now’, and when you look back you will regret now living it fully.
    5) Accountable for your decisions. It’s much easier to live with your choices than if someone else decides it for you, even if everything goes downhill.
    6) Comparing yourself to others. Healthy comparison that motivates you to do more, instead of unhealthy comparison that makes you feel disabled to do anything good. Focus on riding on your own journey to reach your goals, but once in a while look around to see what other people who have achieved similar goals have done to get motivated/ know where to improve yourself or make necessary changes in your approach.

    1] Finding your WHY

    5] Owning your decisions
    6] Comparing yourself to others

    "It is easier to live with the decisions that we have made for ourselves than those others have made it for us, even if it goes all downhill." I wish I had taken the decision to study the subject that I loved to in my engineering. Instead I pursued what my parents suggested based on their observations of the society. I wish I held onto the girl that I liked rather than listening to my Church which was against inter - religious marriages. Probably my why wasn't strong enough. Probably, I am too scared to take the decisions. Probably I should have taken the leap of faith rather than wait for all the answers. I need to learn to take responsibility for the decisions that I have taken and not blame it on others. In it lies my Salvation.

      Hey !!! I can relate to you so much. I regret not taking decisions, just because my parents do not approve of it.What if something goes wrong. I would get blamed.
      But the funny/sad thing is that I get blamed either ways, even when I am moving in my parents approved path and anything goes wrong.
      I just might have suffered in my own chosen path.
      It's just the inability to take responsibility for my own decisions. Perhaps we really are in true sense alone in this world, and never look to anyone even for mental support

    I feel like the 'why' is still a motivation part to me, so it's a temporarily thing. The discipline that i taught myself is the reason i keep going. I used to sleep really late and always be late. I used never go to the gym and never read books. Now that i have taught myself more and more 'strict' rules about sleeping early etc, i get more things done than i used to do. A very informative and interesting video again Lana :)

  • @MlleVD
    @MlleVD Před 4 lety +2

    Thank you so much for this video! You've shared a lot of thoughts and advice about topics that I have been pondering about lately. The overflow of information, how to work out your own guide, constantly writing down my why to keep me motivated, but especially, the fifth point on accountability. You broke down well why sometimes showing up everyday works and why other times you just fall of the bandwagon. I used to love challenging myself (I loved the Fabulous app) but now I just generally feel demotivated. As if I just do not want to take on these challenges anymore and when I do, it usually does not last longer than a week. The positive aspect is that I can go beyond judging myself harshly for this and realize the importance of resting but it does beg the question of why you are no longer interested in something you used to enjoy. So indeed, it comes down to re-evaluating and seeing that the roots of my motivations may have changed.
    Watching your youtube channel was also inspirational for another reason. I started a channel 6 years ago but stopped after about a year. I loved the creative and communicative aspect of it but I also felt very conflicted about the oversharing. I like your approach of sharing your insights based on your experience while still staying humble by not actually making it all about you.
    P.S. I do the same thing where I tell people to go do the MBTI test without telling them my type, unless they ask. I think there is a high chance we might have the same one but regardless I thought it was funny :)

    I really don't know ! I'm going through a slump phase right now ! I never searched about anything to overcome it. I'm just spacing out myself and trying to escape whatever I'm feeling right now ! But I really wanna thank CZcams for recommending a video from your channel and just like that I browsed inside and watched a few videos which has kind of sorted my thoughts in a clearer format ! I appreciate and adore your work so much ! Thank you Lana for being a friend to me when I thought I couldn't speak about it to anyone ... We of course do not know each other but I will remember you as my friend who helped me at some point in my life ! Thank you so much !

    So much good advice in this video. Trust your ability to figure it out more than getting everything right the first time. We can keep thinking forever and be stuck in analysis paralysis until we take action

    What you said about always being in the future moment touched my heart. Sometimes I feel like future possibilities affect on my present. It is such inside-out way of thinking.

    I love watching your videos and come back here often... something that I have always hoped for is you to have a podcast.
    Waiting for that day to come❤️
