Trying to maintain better habits and stop getting distracted and procrastinating when it comes to creating content. I feel like one of the main reasons is that I keep messing up my speech while speaking on camera. But the reality is that you have to keep practising to get better. I have to push myself out of my comfort zone and get over the barrier of filming the content if I want to improve. The more I do it, the easier it becomes.

Finally seeing results and seeing my consistent hard work pay off. Even putting in a small amount of effort each day can lead to big results over time. Even if you’re not seeing results straight away, keep going and trust the process. The results will eventually show. 🚀📈

So this week the weather has been nice, so I’ve been trying to get more reps in by speaking to more strangers in the street, at the park and in restaurants to force myself to start conversations first. Most of the time, I tend to premeditate what I’m going to say and often get stuck in my own head trying to think of the next word or topic to respond with. After completing Module 5, which has really been eye-opening, I’ve realised this is something I’ve been struggling with for a long time. I often struggle to think of the right word and also find myself monitoring how I’m coming across. I decided to use the practical tools from the module cheat sheet when going into conversations, and this has helped me significantly to stop overthinking and continue speaking instead of pausing for too long trying to think of the perfect word. I practised this throughout the week and it has helped me a lot. Especially when producing content and filming, I would often pause for ages trying to think of a word and would have to repeat the whole sentence again so it made sense for the video. These tips have really helped improve my content.

I’ve been inconsistent with my daily accountability over the last couple of days, and I believe that’s been due to the weather and other external factors. However, consistency is what creates good habits, so I need to keep going even when I fall off. Today’s update is that I’ve completed Module 6 and will be applying the techniques in practice going forward to improve my communication skills.

Just wanted to take a moment to wish you all Eid Mubarak! I hope you all have a beautiful and joyful day. 🌹
