Kaizen <\/strong>is a Japanese philosophy meaning continuous improvement or regularly striving for improvement every day. This philosophy arose from the Japanese car manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrative Wellness and Movement (IWM) is re-introducing this idea of “kaizen”. I started this back in 2013\/2014. IWM’s “kaizen” is embracing small, continuous, meaningful improvements in body, mind, & spirit. This can be applied to any aspect of life like family, career, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-efficacy<\/strong> is one’s belief in oneself to have the capacity to follow through and execute something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I am going to set 3 goals for myself. If I have a high self-efficacy, then I know I’m going to get those 3 goals accomplished–it’s as good as done. High self-efficacy is something we’re striving for<\/strong>. The goals need to be “tiny steps” or bite-sized so that you know that you’re going to get them done this week. On a self-efficacy scale of 1-10 (10 being the highest self-efficacy rating, “good as done”), aim for 9-10<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re writing out your goals with some personal reflection, and your self-efficacy rating is 1-8<\/strong>, then you need to further break down your goals<\/strong> until your self-efficacy is 9 or 10. Studies have shown that a rating lower than 9-10 means that the goal\/task is less likely to be accomplished. BE KIND TO YOURSELF!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IWM is restarting our weekly kaizen handout, a weekly goals sheet with quotes & space to write down what you want to focus on each week. You can download and print it out. These sheets were designed for black\/white\/grayscale printing so that you can save ink (no need to print in color).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you find these helpful! These are the exact same sheets that I use with my coaching clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
