Take stock today
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a great time to reflect on what went went well and what did not this year in your life, family and career.
So many people at this time of year make a long list of all the things they want to do. And so many never get accomplished. To keep yourself on the correct track first make that long list. Then shrink that list to what you can do in the next 10 hours.
Take a moment and write these answers down so you can see what you are thinking. It is one thing to think it in your mind, it is another to see it written down. Go ahead take a moment now while you are reading this so you can act now.
If it triggers feelings you do not like or don’t want to remember this is just a feeling. You do not have to act on your feelings. Just notice them. The great news is you can choose feelings you want to have.
Next focus on the top 3 things you want to see happen in 2010. Select one for you personally, one for your relationships and one for your career.
Write it as a simple statement that you can easily understand. Then ask yourself is that goal doable? In other words can you check it off yes or no that you were able to accomplish it. Re write it so it passes the yes or no test.
Tomorrow I will share with you the life balancing system that will make 2010 be your best year ever.
We are kicking off our January 11-15 Move Into Your Greatness seminar that you can attend to get the skills you need. Learn more…
Enjoy this great last day of the year.
Is today your day?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat one step will you take today that will move you into your greatness?
This can be a simple step that typically you would blow off as no big deal. The reality is any step can get momentum going. If you are one of those people who’s expectations are so big that you demand big results then go ahead and take that bigger step. Caution – don’t make it so big that you defeat yourself right out of the gate.
Are you the kind of person who has a hard time getting started, following through or finishing what you have started?
Momentum comes as you recognize what type of person you are and building a support system of action steps and people to help you do what is you are not best at.
If you know you are lazy and have a hard time getting started, make a game out of jump starting yourself into action by saying to yourself, I will take 10 minutes now to write down my game plan. These 10 minutes focus on the task at hand and watch what it does for your progress. Leaders who communicate effectively do so by overcoming what they do not like to do making it something they are willing to do to accomplish the task
You can do that for yourself because you have what it takes to move into your greatness. You say how? Well each time you are thinking I do not want to change your eating habits, ask yourself what one thing can you do?
For me over the holidays I have removed the crust from the back of my pie saving 100 calories.
Take the next step do it with grace and ease.
Holiday family dynamics
Posted by: | CommentsWhat’s your plan for family dynamics? Has someone during this holiday season tested your resolve to give love?
With all the coming together or in laws and out laws I am sure you have some amazing stories that tested you. The question is did you pass the test?
You may find yourself wanting to give someone a piece of your mind. Or just blurt out all the things you have wanted to say all of your life to this person.
Instead of lowering your standards take higher ground and be the person you have always wanted to be. I know you probably think you need to straighten them out. What will that accomplish? Who really wins?
Now is the time to show them whether they know it or not all that growth and maturity you have grown into.
My Dad always said it takes no skill to cuss someone out. So be the person, yes you.
You say you are having a hard time getting past their behavior or actions? Maybe they spilled something on your new outfit or ground food into your new carpet. Get over it!
If so focus on what unites you together instead of divides you. It may be as simple as you are both human beings on the planets. Enjoy
Give them love back. Just do it!
Share with us some of your funny stories.
