It’s great to be back guest writing for Coaching Confidence, and sharing more of my thoughts.
A break always gives you the opportunity to reflect, relax and decide on your next steps!
How often are you taking a break? Do you work all year; get to Christmas, Easter or summer holidays and then completely collapse; with no energy or enthusiasm to do anything? Many people do!
January is often the month when people take stock and reflect. Did you start the New Year with good intentions and New Year resolutions; like joining the gym or going on a diet? Did you relish the challenge and begin with great enthusiasm and energy. Or did you ‘have a go’ and quickly revert back to your comfortable lifestyle.
There’s no right or wrong, and there has to be a strong enough reason for doing something new or different. If you really want to ‘get fit’, then you will do. If you’re not as motivated to ‘get fit’, then you won’t.
If you’re one of those people who have ‘had a go’ and decided it’s not for you; great. Acknowledge that fact and ‘have a go’ at something else. Use your energy to focus on your next goal or challenge.
Take time out more often to reflect on what you achieved and where you want to go next.
Set yourself some challenges and by putting one foot in front of the other and taking one step at a time, you can cover a significant distance in a short space of time.
Occasionally look up at what lies ahead, and then remind yourself what’s to come. You can only deal and respond to what’s in front of you at any particular moment.
Reaching every goal gives you that feeling of achievement and exhilaration. It builds belief that other challenges (goals) can be conquered in your life.
Whatever your goals or challenges are for 2011, enjoy the moments along the way to achieving them. When you reach your goal; celebrate.
Have a great few months and I’ll be back sharing more soon.
Regards
Jeff
