As an action-based achiever, you know you need to get things done! You have lists, you have dreams, and you want to get there, wherever “there” is. You just know it’s not HERE.
The thing is, no one is more surprised than you that you are falling short. You start again, this time determined that you will achieve what you set out to do. If only there were someone to just “show you the path,” you’d be there, right? Maybe follow-through has never been your strong suit, but you know you have the ability. Action-Based Achievers like quick results, short time-frames, and results they can see.
The woo-woo is secondary if it matters at all. It’s the action that counts. Letting situations play out or unfold just takes too long, and seems tedious. You’ve tried to work on this part of your personality, but aren’t sure what to do about it. Your quick moves and organization have served you well in the past, but now, it’s just not fun to be you sometimes. You’d like to change, but how?
Three Happiness Hacks for Action Based Achievers:
Segment your day so that your basic needs are covered first, then schedule time for all the other things you'd like to get done.
Start a morning journaling habit to get your thoughts out of your mind and down on paper.
Think about a time when you were 100% happy with your life. Now, take 3 minutes to describe that time in your journal.
