A Step by Step Approach

One of the biggest mistakes clients (and me!) often make is in trying to go too far too fast. They want to be at the top of the mountain instantly. However, there is some distance to climb first. Until we master teleportation, we have to travel the distance between here and there. This applies to our goals too – whether it is business success we are seeking, money, weight loss, a new job, a new/better relationship.

You have to take step 1 then step 2 then step 3. Certainly you will find short cuts, but short cuts in my experience come when you are taking step 1, 2, 3…then you find a shortcut to step 10, 11, 12. And so on. If you are focusing on what the next step is, you won’t have time to be impatient and concerned that the end goal is ‘so far away’. And all of a sudden, you will be there.

These days we’re a bit obsessed with things being instant – instant weight loss, instant success. But most of the joy of achieving a goal is in the steps you took to get there, and who you become in that journey. Despite the rise of the ‘instant’ celebrity, most successful people have taken step after step after step to get where they are. And these successful people are no more special, no more unique than you are.

If they can do it, you can do it. Start with step 1, then take step 2, then step 3. And so on. Be aware of where exactly you are going, then ask yourself what is the next step? Again and again until you’re there. And you will get there – with a step by step approach.

Scan And Release

Sounds like an IT process doesn’t it? But this is not about technology, it’s about your body. I sat down this morning to watch a bit of the tennis and realised that my shoulders were quite tense (and I wasn’t that bothered about the outcome of the game!). Scanning my body, I realised that I was also holding tension in my feet (wierdly!) and in my jaw!

What about you? Scan your body now – where is the tension? Now release it. Aaaaah, that’s better. Repeat often – we hold a lot of tension out of stress, habit, pain and fear…but then when the stress, pain or fear have gone we keep tension out of habit. So make a new habit and let it go!

Seeking the Gift

So, as you will know if you’ve been following this blog closely (and the website worked when you came to read it!), you will know that a couple of weeks ago I had technical issues. And then last week I had a few more technical issues which resulted in me not being able to blog at all for the whole week. Pah.

But of course, it got me thinking. As I said last time I talked of this, shit happens…and there is usually a diamond somewhere in the shit-heap! The first step is to not let it discombobulate us (I’ve always wanted to use that word in a blog!). The next step is to look for the gift. If you look hard enough, you may even find several gifts.

For example, I can focus on the inconvenience of not being able to blog, or I can focus on the fact that I had a week off writing (yes, it would have been nice if I’d got ahead of myself, but that was never going to happen!), the fact that I had time to focus on some ‘offline’ stuff I’ve been neglecting, the fact that I had a good reminder to put some ‘plan b’s in place for times of technological meltdown!

And I’m certain that more good stuff will come from it. I’m noticing as I am writing this that I am enjoying it more than I had been, so it has reminded me how much I love to write this blog. All good. So what is going wrong in your life right now, and what is the gift in that ‘wrongness’?

Technological Trials

Well, this week has been a washout blogwise – due to some technical problems, I haven’t been able to post any blogs. Grrrr. This has been a lesson in patience for me, and ‘one of those things’. Nothing I personally could do, except get a nark on of course…and that is a waste of time and precious energy!

Remember that everytime something doesn’t work as you want it to, you have an opportunity not to let it get to you. At my most irritated, I fired off a terse e-mail (something along the lines of “I’m pissed off now”!), then went and walked the dog. Shit, unfortunately, happens. And it is rarely helpful to lose your temper, or raise your blood pressure, or rant on about it for days.

So this weekend, if shit happens in your life, stop, breathe, realise there is nothing to be achieved by losing it, and go do something else instead. With luck, normal service will be resumed next week (and the snow will be gone – don’t even get me started on that!) so see you then! Have a great weekend!

Create a Joyful Life with 20% Off

Yep, it’s that crazy time of year again when we set ourselves puritanical goals of deprivation, born of desperation, fear and stress. Small wonder 90+% of New Year’s resolutions are broken within a week! Is there a better way? You bet your butt there’s a better way – instead of focusing on what you want to stop, give up, make yourself do, focus on what you WANT.

This is a great time of year to get coaching on what you WANT in this year ahead, what would be fun, what you would enjoy, what you would LOVE to happen. For that reason, I offer you my January Sale – 20% off all coaching. This means a one-off telephone session for £52 instead of £65, 2 sessions this month for £96 instead of £120, and if you want to commit to 12 sessions of coaching, you get a whopping £120 OFF and pay only £480 instead of £600.

And if you prefer e-mail only coaching, it’s a month of e-mail coaching for a mere £80! Or a week for a teeny £28. Astonishing! This offer will only last a short while as places are limited, so if you are interested e-mail me NOW.

Looking forward to talking to you!

Love

Celebrating What’s Right With the World

DJ of inflow services shared this video with me earlier this week – on my first day back at work after the holidays, and it literally MADE my day! This is such a wonderful way to look at the world, and it’s a great reminder at the time of year when it’s cold, and dark and you’re skint and have given up everything you enjoy doing (unless you read my wednesday blog and stopped that insanity!) to celebrate life.

Now I hope you are as inspired as I was by this, and I have a challenge for you: what’s right with your world? It’s all too easy to say what we haven’t got, what’s missing, what’s wrong, but it’s much more fun and inspiring to look at what is right and celebrate it! I would love to hear about what’s right in your world if you’re inspired to share.

Lots of love

PS Don’t forget – 20% off ALL coaching this month only…get in touch if you want get your life ship-shape.

My Vision for You This Year

Happy New Year! To each and every one of you, I wish you love, luck, laughter, joy, prosperity, good health, fun and a life that makes you go WOW! I see you shining like the bright star you are. I see you radiating your loving heart, your brilliance and your genius into the world. I see paying attention to the joyful moments in your life and breezing past the horrid ones with a flick of your hair and confident step.

I see you dancing like you just don’t care, I see you having the confidence to be your very best you, I see you laughing and enjoying your life. I see you being present with whatever you have in front of you in every moment. I see you falling in love with life, in love with your self and in love with the world around you. I see you looking in the mirror every day with a big smile and saying “Morning GORGEOUS! We have a wonderful day ahead.”

May 2010 be your best year yet!

Lots and lots and lots of love
