Day 1, My Self Assessment

Step 1: Self Assessment.

So day 1's task is a self assessment, you start this task by rating yourself from 1/10 on where you think you are with the ideal person you want to be, 1 being far away, 10 being perfect aligned. Now you have to be very honest with yourself about this, because if you can't be honest with yourself, who can you be honest with, and a low rating doesn't mean that you don;t like yourself it just means you have further to go to become all you can be and that you have more room for growth.


Step 2: Evaluate your score.

Now you need to evaluate the score you gave yourself in step 1, if you have a 2 or a 5 or even a 10, why do you feel that way. Be as specific as possible, this task is about making yourself aware of the things about yourself that are holding you back, this is not about hating yourself and running yourself down. It is all about enlightenment and facing the things you want to change, no more denial about it.

Step 3: Identify your undesired traits.

Make a list of the undesired traits that you have and want to work on, the list can be as long as you want it, but you need to be honest about it. If you can't be honest, even if its just every now and again that you demonstrate a certain trait, it is still present just waiting for the right moment to rear its ugly head. No one is going to judge you for what is on your list. I, myself commend those that can and will be completely honest about this, it isn't easy to admit that your not perfect and to point out the flaws in yourself.

When you have finished compiling your list, you need to put them into groups, alike traits with alike traits, you should have at least 3 groups but you can have more if you need to.

Step 4: Pick 3 of the most undesired traits.

These 3 traits can be the 3 you have the most problem with, I am going to pick the biggest one from each group, each group is grouped with alike traits, so mine will be the 3 (1 out of each group) that I struggle with the most.

Once this is done you should reflect later about what you have discovered about yourself, and truly think about the potential you have and where you want to be as a person. Embrace your flaws and commit to improving those areas that you are not happy with.
