First Steps to Achieving Your Vision

Today’s Inspiration

How often do you find yourself pleasantly surprised when you finally take that first step just how much extra energy and enthusiasm you gain which propels you into feeling inspired to take the next steps from there? It always amazes me how the energy increases ten fold when finally taking an inspired action that you may have been pondering over for quite some time.

Coaching Tip

How often have you heard yourself saying… “Why didn’t I just do it in the first place without all that worry and concern?” I can certainly relate to this one when finally taking an action that I have been wanting to take for some time. The next time you find yourself pondering or procrastinating over an action you know you want to take,  make a decision what the first step is and when you are going to do it.

By the way, there is NO Right Step – trust your intuition and take the step which feels right for you at that time. You will be surprised just how much you will achieve when you live by the model …‘Decision + Action = Results’.

If you want to stop the procrastination and finally take the actions you know will change your life, then you must attend my Design your Life Success Workshop…read on…

Are You a Procrastinator?

Today’s Inspiration

Are you waiting for that extra time to get a particular job done? Decide today to stop procrastinating
and especially stop waiting for that “extra time” to appear because it never will. Just begin whatever
you have been putting off and feel the release of pressure in your mind and your body automatically
open up for you. Notice how extra time and energy opens up for you with ease and flow.

Coaching Tip

How often do you find yourself putting off things because they seem like a heavy burden to tackle that just keeps adding more stress to your way of life. Surprisingly, my experience every time I make the time to get started, just how much better I do feel with a huge sigh of relief. The biggest realisation is that it never is as big a job as what I thought it would be in the first place.

How about you? What project do you need to act on sooner rather than later? Do not procrastinate any longer. You’ll be surprised at how easy it actually is and how good it will feel in getting it done! Decide today to be ‘the creator’ instead of  ‘the procrastinator’.

How to Plan Your Day and Stop Wasting Time

Today’s Inspiration

Planning your time is often a combination of tasks scheduled in your diary and a to-do list for you to get around to when you have spare time. The more you can schedule the most important things, as well as your daily tasks, into your diary with a time and date set against each one, the more likely it is that you’ll achieve them.

Coaching Tip

A big tip is to leave plenty of white space scheduled in your diary, to manage the unexpected, or things you may have forgotten about in your day. This is normally a challenge for most of my clients, as they are trying to fit so much into their day and invariably wonder how they can ever leave ‘white space’ in between scheduling.

My challenge to you is to ‘give it a go’ for at least 30 days and notice what happens. Do the important things first and be responsible about your choices to stop wasting time.

The Success Cycle

Today’s Inspiration

If you think and feel you can, then you believe in yourself and life’s abundance.

If you speak as if you already have, then you are living and loving your ideal life today.

If you think and feel you cannot, then this is your perception of reality.

If you say you cannot because of your perception, then you will keep this cycle showing up in your life hanging on to your story from the past.

Success always begins with a person’s state of mind, in their own creativity, vision, feelings, words and actions.

Coaching Tip

Challenge your own perceptions in life because they could be the very thing stopping you from living the life you desire.

Is It Time to Stop Procrastinating?

Today’s Inspiration

When left to your own devices there can be a tendency to procrastinate in your action orientation, especially when it relates to a project that takes you out of our comfort zone.

Coaching Tip

By asking someone to hold you accountable in a supportive way, your project/goal will become a ‘positive pressing’ priority. Choose someone who has your best interest at heart and ask them to check in with you to be sure that you are on track. Be sure to celebrate your milestones and end result together.

6 Most Powerful Steps in Achieving your Projects and Goals

Life is full of projects and goals. Home related projects such as the garden needs an overhaul or the shed needs clearing – Personal related projects like updating your Will or writing the book you have been dreaming of for years – Work related projects such as reviewing your business plan or updating your website.

One of the most common questions I am asked is ‘how do I overcome procrastination’ and start/complete the things I know I need and want to do? Here is the 6 most powerful steps that will support you in achieving your projects/goals.

1.  Write down your project with a deadline

Having a clear end result of your chosen project and a ‘when by date’ are both the ticket to freedom. This can decrease stress by motivating you into action. Any anxiety about completing a project is usually related to ‘inaction’ and this uses up an enormous amount of energy. When you state your readiness to achieve a clearly defined goal with a ‘when by date’ in place, you release this energy into good use towards achieving your project/goals.

2.  Choose someone to hold you accountable

Put ’supportive accountability’ in place. When left to our own devices there is a tendency to procrastinate in your action orientation, especially when it relates to a project that takes us out of our comfort zone. By asking someone to hold you accountable in a supportive way, your project/goal will become a ‘positive pressing’ priority. Choose someone who has your best interest at heart and ask them to check in with you to be sure that you are on track. Be sure to celebrate your milestones and end result together.

3.  Set a commencement date

Now that you have a clear project, a when by date and someone to hold you accountable, you are ready to set a formal start date. Give yourself time to plan and prepare. Yes plan being the ‘operative’ word. For example if you have a when by date to complete your taxes by July 1st with a start date of June 1st, you will need to give yourself a chance to clear your schedule to get the necessary forms and resources in place before you get into trouble and put yourself under pressure. Too often we plunge into a project without a plan and end up getting frustrated and overwhelm because of underestimation of time frames to get things done.

4.  Set clear boundaries to support your progress

Think of this step as casting a wide net around you and your project so you are protected while you work. For example, if you need to complete a report for your job, you will want to schedule uninterrupted time in your office. This might require a conversation with co-workers about needing space and a willingness to avoid emails and phone calls until you have completed the job. Ask yourself “What boundaries do I need to put in place in order to have the emotional and physical space I need to get this project completed?”

5.  Take frequent breaks

Often when I coach clients to complete a tough project, they often start with a ‘push through to the end’ mentality. For example, they are willing to work ridiculous hours at the expense of their lives. While this might get the project finished, it forms a negative relationship to project completion which only fuels procrastination in the future. You will want to create a positive relationship by taking frequent breaks. Enjoy the process and give yourself a break during the project planning.

6.  Identify your ‘WHY’ – keep them in view

When the project is complete how will your life improve? What are the benefits of completion for you? Identify 3 benefits you will receive from completing your project, put them in writing and keep them in view. There are many benefits to completing a project – the satisfaction of a job well done, the peace of mind that comes from no longer beating yourself up for not acting plus the many physical benefits that go along with your completed project.

Many parts of life is about the process of completing projects in some form or another. What project has been hanging over your head? This month, follow the 6 steps and free yourself from the bonds of incompletion and procrastination so you can enjoy more of your precious time.

“First, have a definite, clear practical idea; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.” – Aristotle.
