Why do you want that thing?
Based on the feedback I received...last week's blog* hit a nerve with a few of you.
If you've figured out what you want...the next question is "Why do you want that thing?"
It's the end of September! In the business world, this signals the start of the last quarter...the final push to hit your targets.
Think about those things that are on your list of goals that you're not quite achieving, or even getting around to. Here's a chance to check-in and ask yourself some questions with the caveat that, when you're in business working for someone else, there may be less control over what those goals are.
For now, let this be about your personal goals, those things you're doing for you. Goals that you set at the beginning of the year. Are there some that just aren't happening?
Time for a check-in.
Does your goal have you on the run? It matters.Are you running away from something, or are you running towards something?
Running away from what you “don’t want’ is not the same as running towards something you want.
When you're “running away” from what you don’t want, there may be some relief, but also an energy of fear and desperation. Most likely, you're in flight, fight or flee mode.
When you're "running towards" something, the energy will feel different. The excitement of possibilities and a fresh start, a chance to learn and grow.
It's complicated.
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
If you're not making progress towards your goal. Ask yourself: Where am I heading right now...towards or away from something?
Here are some tips:
Stop! Before you go any further, stop.
Catch your breath and clear your mind.
Ask yourself:
Is this something I want?
Think. Be still.
Take the time to be quiet with your thoughts. Journal if that's your practice.
Take the time to get CLEAR. This will help you to determine your next step.
