Self-Polarity Scale: A Balancing Act

OK so its time I truly get raw and real with not only myself but my readers. I am an accountability nightmare, creator of unproductive behaviors with a mind that moves like the news ticker in Times Square. There I said it, my ideas are good ones, creative, fun and can blossom into amazing things, but it is my follow through that lacks. I have struggled with this for some time, but only recently have I been challenging myself to change it and become more focused. This is where my self-polarity comes into play. I am learning that if I can balance the positive with the negative, I may be able to move forward with the same plans and goals I started with. You need to weigh in and observe not only your negative behaviors but positive ones as well.

My first positive behavior is that I have stuck to this blog, even if there was slight interruption, I have not given up the goal of keeping it going. The negative is it has taken me some time to brand my blog and fine tune what audience I want to reach out too. I am an Aquarius, so I want to help everyone and forget about helping myself. Even more reason to assess my polarity scale to hold myself accountable. Yes, another huge issue of mine was constantly searching for someone to hold me accountable when I need to learn to hold myself accountable. Creating a mental polarity scale is hard, now write it down on paper and it can truly shock your system. I just know with my jack of all trade abilities and giving heart I am doing myself a disservice by not homing in on my weaknesses to create a success story.

I have found some changes I have made of late such as a career change, self-discovery change and moving to a new place are all my steppingstones to being the best version of me. Now I need to clarify my polarity so that I can teach myself to understand myself in a way that I can complete a goal I set my mind too. I have been working quietly behind the scenes on a new venture and I will continue to keep it under wraps because if my own self sabotage does not do me in the negative feedback will certainly break me down. But if I can develop a healthy self-polarity scale for myself and critique myself in a positive way not just a negative, I can truly succeed at any goal I set in front of me. I can read any book or watch any video on self-growth, setting goals or being successful but if I am not real with myself, I will never succeed.

So, I am making my polarity list of positive and negative things about me and my goals. I need to keep it real and I have always welcomed criticism and critique with things I do just not about me personally. Creating a list will help me see where my weaknesses are and where my strengths are. I will also use this polarity to understand not all weaknesses need to be changed just embraced. Have you sat down and done a self-polarity exercise on yourself? Has it helped create a better you? If not start now, being as real as you possibly can with yourself on the positive and the negative things about you and how each of those can help and what truly needs changing. I would love to hear some feedback.
