Check out this week’s affirmation: I am ready to commit myself to my goals and aspirations.

Achieving even the simplest of goals requires us to learn the meaning of commitment. Throughout our life, we are reminded of commitment, whether it’s related to personal or business goals, and we realize that without committing, we can’t achieve anything.

When you think about it, everything you ever achieved sprouted from a commitment you made; whether it’s your children, your degree, your job, or even your house.

Learning how to commit is not simply about making commitments, however, it’s about keeping those commitments in the face of foreseen and unforeseen hurdle Affirmation: I am ready to commit myself to my goals and aspirations.

I am committing myself to a daily routine of positive, effective habits that support my goals. Affirmation: I am ready to commit myself to my goals and aspirations.

Affirmation I give and receive constructive feedback with an open attitude.

Check out this week’s affirmation: I give and receive constructive feedback with an open attitude.

Constructive feedback is providing useful comments and suggestions that contribute to a positive outcome, a better process or improved behaviours.

It provides encouragement, support, corrective measures and direction to the person receiving it. Knowing how to give constructive feedback is a valuable skill.

Constructive feedback can be positive (letting someone know they’re doing well), negative (letting people know about ways in which things could be improved), or neutral (just an objective observation).

I give and receive constructive feedback with an open attitude.

Input from others, both at home and work, is essential for my growth and development. I ask for feedback on my performance. I welcome honest and helpful suggestions.

I listen with an open mind. If I feel tense, I take a deep breath and relax. I focus on the message rather than the messenger. I search for valid points even if I disagree. I write down notes and questions to help me process new information.

I apply what I learn. I use feedback to make positive changes and elevate my performance. I express my thanks. I am grateful for the opportunity to see things from a perspective different from my own.

I focus on being helpful when I give feedback.

I act promptly. I share feedback on a regular basis rather than waiting for annual reviews or formal meetings. I choose an appropriate setting. I praise others in public and raise sensitive subjects in private.

I use specific language. I prepare what I need to say. I focus on actions instead of personalities. I provide examples and descriptions. I encourage two-way discussions.

I make positive observations too. I let others know that I admire their strengths and recognize their achievements.

Today, I give and receive thoughtful and timely feedback that helps myself and others to reach our goals as we build mutually supportive relationships.

Self-Reflection Questions:

> Why is it sometimes difficult to give and receive feedback?

> What is the difference between feedback and advice?

> What can I do to create a feedback-friendly culture in my workplace?
