Good Habits - What Would My Ideal Self Do? -

by Masahiro Shinoda

/

about

[CONCEPT]
If you’re wondering why your to-do list keeps growing, you’re not alone. The things you have to do seem to pop up endlessly. Feeling devastated, you can’t help but procrastinate altogether― on the things others ask you to do and even the things that could get you closer to your goals. To break this bad habit, you can ask yourself: “What would my ideal self do?” This inquiry gives you an opportunity to think about whether the action you’re going to take is the one that would bring you the desired outcome in the long run. After wise decisions are constantly repeated and formed, they will become good habits. As it’s often said, we’re the products of our habits, with good ones, your success is inevitable!

In the course of writing these lyrics, I was inspired by James Clear’s ‘Atomic Habits.’ I recommend this book to all of you who are ambitious but struggling with changing your lifestyle.

lyrics

[LYRICS]
There are a lot of things I should do
Piling up like a mountain
I can’t stop from putting them off
Again and again

I’m always pulled into this habit (Procrastination)
Like the law of gravity
I know I need a drastic action
To lead my life in the right direction

I believe anyone can change
Their life with a little bit of courage
So start building up some good behaviors
That align with my ideal self

It’s time for an investigation (With determination)
On my daily routine
It seems there're a lot of obligations
And this frustration!

I believe anyone can change
Their life with a little bit of courage
What I do every day is shaping my life
So start building up some good behaviors
That align with my ideal self

Nobody wants to
Live their life just trying to meet the expectations
Of somebody else
Take the actions
That would lead to my ideal self

It’s time for an investigation (With determination)
On my daily routine
Digging up what matters to me
From this confusion

After all, whatever they may be (As my conclusion)
My habits make my future

What would my ideal self do?
That’s what I ask myself
What would my ideal self do
Over anything else?

What would my ideal self do?
