I can’t think about a life without investment in myself anymore.

I truly believe that my average day would be significantly less productive if I didn’t practice self-care the way I practice self-care.

There is a direct correlation between how much work an individual can do and how much self-care they are practicing regularly.

​

ROI, does it matter?

Self-care is often seen as an expense, you are left with nothing else than a few minutes you won’t able to be on social media.

I want you to delete this thought right away.

Taking time for yourself is an investment in your overall well-being.

Look at people like Andrew Huberman, Tim Ferriss, Elon Musk, and many more.

They aren’t picky when it comes to investing in themselves.

Here are just a few examples of why you shouldn’t play short on this:

Investing in your body:

Results in More confidence, Physical strength, and most important a longer and more happy life lived.

Investing your mind:

Results in a more focused and calm state of mind. You are also able to overcome self-doubts and become more resilient against stress.

Investing in Knowledge:

If you invest in your knowledge, you can learn anything you want. We humans are where we are today because we invest in our knowledge.

Investing in sleep:

By investing in your sleep, you’re not investing in the nights but the days. You can make better decisions while having more energy and being in a good mood.

I’m just scratching on the very top here, I hope you got the point I’m making…

The Ingredients for a Positive ROI

Effort and consistency

Read that again

How can you expect a noticeable change if the only thing you have invested is 3 Bucks?

If your past self decided on an investment, stick with it.

Start to trust the decisions you took in the past

This is called building confidence, it’s also called taking responsibility.

​

ROI-Driven Decision-Making

Start looking at the bigger picture

What actions will bring you the most progress when seen in the long run?

Ask yourself:

Would this action still give me value even if it’s the 10,000 Repetition?

Don’t get me wrong, some actions bring an insane amount of ROI by performing over and over again.

But will every action bring the same value again and again?

Would you read the same Book 10 Times in a row?

Sure, There is a bit of value everywhere

I am speaking out of experience here:

Stop the tunnel-vision on the small actions.

Start to Focus on the Lever moving actions.

​

The ROI of Measurement

Seeing progress is the best source of Motivation, that’s why it’s so important to first of all set goals

But more important than that is to ensure Them on a regular basis

If you do not see progress you get bored and boredom is the greatest threat to success

It’s even more threatening than failure

If you get bored you start to lose interest and when you start to lose interest you are asking yourself why are you doing this in the first place.

If this happens too often, you can’t help yourself but quit.

It’s human nature.
