This week, I was on the phone with tech support. While I was waiting, I kept thinking of things I could have done instead of just sitting there and not living my life.
Are you “on hold” in your life?
Are you waiting for a partner to come along, the motivation to get your house in order, a great job to fall in your lap, or to win the lottery before you start planning your retirement? Stop putting your life on hold! The only thing that sets you apart from the people who are getting what they want is that you didn’t keep moving. Here are some ideas to get you back on your feet.
Pay attention to who, not what
If you’ve been stuck on a goal for a while, try starting over by thinking about “who I am” instead of “what I want.” For example, instead of saying “I want to lose 30 pounds,” say “I am someone who takes care of herself by keeping my weight around XXX, which is a healthy range for my height and age.” Be as clear as you can. “I want to be someone who helps other people,” for example, could mean anything from a grocery store clerk to a heart surgeon. Pay attention to who you want to be. Then ask yourself what actions would fit with your desire “to be” instead of “get.”
Analyze it
Did you know that 20% of your life causes 80% of your problems? That’s right! Find out what that 20% is that affects so much of your life, and start working to make it happier, more efficient, and more satisfying.
Assign Value
One of the biggest mistakes I see my coaching clients make is not giving their time, energy, money, and the “real estate” (space) of their home or office a true value.
Realize that you’re turning down something every time you say yes to something, like buying a pair of shoes or going to a movie.
Always ask yourself, “Is this important enough to me that it would take up too much space in my life or make me give up something else in my closet, on my schedule, or with my money?”
Conclusion:
Brother, it’s time to take charge of your life and step off the hold button. By shifting your mindset, analyzing your life, and assigning value to your choices, you can break free from limitations and embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
Embrace this opportunity to design a life that aligns with your authentic self and unlocks your true potential. Remember, the time is now—stop waiting and start thriving!
