Have you thought about the difference between Reading & Listening vs Understanding & Applying?

How many times do you hear the questions ?

• How many books do you read?
• How quicky can you read?
• What materials do you read?

All these questions are important; however, we may ask ourselves other questions:

• What do you remember from the material you read or hear?
• Do you apply the knowledge & advice? 

There are thousands of materials related to personal development, health, lifestyle. Many times, they are pretty much the same (just rephrased). How many times did you hear:

• Sleep is important, so get enough sleep to regenerate.
• You can change your life at any given moment.
• Reduce sugar, to have better health.
• Focus on the things which you can control, not the things out of your control.
• You can’t change the past, you can learn from the past, but what you have now is present moment and future.

Now, try to identify your pattern. Do you apply the knowledge you already have? Do you do it CONSISTENTLY?

I decided to write this article, as the result of my experiment: 

I decided to apply CONSISTENTLY the knowledge and advice from my article: Power of Sleep and Thoughts. My quality of sleep has improved. My energy raised and my thoughts are more positive and drive change of my life.

Why it’s important? Whenever you feel anxious or sad, or lonely or lost – ask yourself questions:

What are you thinking about? What did you think about before those feelings? Do you think about doom and gloom, your problems? Do you ruminate about your past? Do you ruminate about mistakes you made?

Learn from the past, be mindful of present moment, focus on the future.

TASK for You: Can you identify the areas of your life, where you know what you should do, but you don’t apply what you have learned?

Although reading and listening quality content is vital, 
what has a key impact on positive change is the ability to understand and apply what we have learned, read, heard. 

Taking CONSISTENT Action, starting Now.
