What Matters Most to You?
Do you ever feel like you are a chicken with its head cut
off, running here and there, spinning your wheels? Totally
disconnected from what matters to you most - your WHY!
It’s the reason you decided to leave the safety net of a
JOB and start creating, risking and being vulnerable on an
entrepreneurial path.
It’s your vision, your BIG vision, that keeps you going, isn’t
it? But sometimes we get so overwhelmed that we lose
sight of the vision. We’re so busy that we forget that thing
that motivates us to keep on keeping on over the obstacles
and through the ups and downs of our daily lives. It’s easy
to let our WHY slip away into the background, while WHAT
(to do next) takes over.
If you can relate to this, I’ve got some ideas for you:
1. Take a vacation and unplug
. Yes, I know that
seems impossible; maybe unplug for most of the
time. It will do your soul good and give you time
to rejuvenate and re-connect to your WHY.
2. Make sure you have a
written Vision Statement
.
If you don’t have one,
Michael Kaplan’sarticle this
month can get you started.
3. Join a Mastermind group
where you can freely
express your challenges without judgment as well
as learn from others.
4. Give up being perfect.
Sometimes that’s what
keeps us spinning without accomplishing much.
For great tips, take a look at
Joan Washburn’s
article, The Danger of Perfectionism.
5. Get enough sleep
. Don’t burn the candle at both
ends, do whatever you need to do to give yourself
a life with plenty of time for what gives you joy
as well as what your body needs. Jamie Sue
Johnson’s article, Are you getting enough ZZZ’s
may be of help.
Wishing you a fantastic month ahead; I hope that the
