I recently took a self-discovery course and all of the class’s advice was extremely helpful. The one piece of advice that I found incredibly helpful though was to have a well-defined and set goal or objective in mind before undertaking any activity. I used this advice when planning my first three day of self-discovery.
I’m glad that you found this helpful, because it is definitely something that I struggle with. For a number of reasons, I find it difficult to set goals. I can’t seem to keep them in mind, which leads to a lot of frustration. I have been known to simply sit in front of my computer and stare at things for hours.
I can relate to this because I can also find it hard to say exactly what I want to see or accomplish. I often find myself procrastinating because I don’t know exactly what I am looking for. This is especially true with goals like, “I want to be a better cook,” or “I want to be a better gardener.” That just seems like too much work to accomplish in a day and not worth the time.
This is very true. It’s not that you can’t accomplish something in one day. It’s just that it’s not worth the effort. If you’re just starting out or looking to have a little bit of motivation from the get go, this is probably a good time to pause and remind yourself you’re not alone in the world. Just because you’re not a great cook or gardener doesn’t mean you’re not talented.
If you’re looking for motivation to cook or to garden, I would encourage you to read this. It is written by a woman who works for the government, but it points out all of the things you can do to create a life you are passionate about. It also points out that even though you may not have the skills to do these things, you can still work to make them a priority in your life.
There are many ways to motivate yourself to cook and garden. If you are looking to add a little flair to your kitchen, consider working on your own vegetable patch. You can also start by finding a community garden. If you live in an area where you can go for a long weekend to the nearest community garden, take the time to pick up some seeds and make some beautiful things. I’d be willing to bet that you will not be disappointed.
The gardening community is very welcoming and supportive, so many of us are willing to help one another, and we are not all afraid to do so.
There are literally dozens of communities and gardens around the world that are dedicated to growing plants for the home. Most of them are located in rural parts of the United States, but there are some in urban areas too. I’ve lived in different parts of the country and am very proud of the work I’ve done there, since there is no shortage of great gardens.
Ive always wanted to be a gardener, but Ive always been too scared to take the plunge. With that being said, Ive definitely got my work cut out for me. Ive been working in the garden industry for the past six years and have found it to be a very rewarding job. Ive learned a lot and have a good understanding with the plants I work with and have developed some good relationships with the people I work with.
The best part of the job is knowing that you are creating a sustainable, non-polluting, and beautiful garden for everyone to enjoy. The worst part of the job is knowing that the garden you have created is for a very specific and narrow purpose. That’s why I love it. Ive learned over time that one of the most important things in creating a beautiful garden is to stay true to your end goal.
