Kaizen in self-development

Having gained worldwide popularity in business, the concept of kaizen quite naturally migrated to the sphere of self-development. After all, the need for continuous systematic improvement, which it defends, can be described and the desire of a person to become better.

Thus, kaizen can become a philosophy of life based on regular changes. This is a constant search for ways to improve your life: from acquiring new skills to getting rid of chronic stress.

Imagine that you decided to follow the behests of the HLS in earnest. Tell me which of the following scenarios is more likely:

• Traditional: I will not eat sugar any more.

• Kaizen: I will buy half as many cookies as usual.

• Traditional: today I will do 100 push-ups.

• Kaizen: I'll do 10 push-ups, but every day.

• Traditional: I will meditate for half an hour.

• Kaizen: I will meditate every day for 5 minutes.

• Traditional: I'll write a book about nutrition.

• Kaizen: I will write one paragraph a day.

It is easy to understand that the traditional methods of "All or Nothing" work very rarely. While a gradual improvement in the style of kaizen is easier to introduce into your life. Undoubtedly, if you have the strength and desire, you can make great progress in a short period of time, but it is important to realize that the fuse always runs out. The main thing is to learn to make at least a small step.
