Strategy to change course…

[A repurposed favorite] Here is the thing, a lot of people don’t know how to be High Performers, the Masters of their lives.?Most people don’t know how to create the most from their lives by increasing productivity, creativity, peacefulness, joy, love and connection… They don’t know how to stay healthy, have increased vitality, and feel amazing most of the time… Actually, they might know but haven’t learned the self-discipline to pursue this with gusto for great results…

I know self-discipline can be challenging, especially when we have a lot going on. It can take insurmountable amounts of willpower when we might already be in a depleted state. This is when we end up feeling stuck, hopeless, depressed, anxious and other goodies.

The key is not to push yourself, beat yourself, shame yourself, or numb yourself…?The key is to show up better with less effort!?

When we think about our Best Life and then compare it to our current life, this might feel discouraging…

The first step is to own where we are at.?A lot of times we get stuck, spin our wheels, and get paralyzed in confusion because we are living with our head in the sand… If we don’t know where we stand, how do we know where to start to get to where we are going? What’s worse, some don’t even know where they are going! What kind of life is this?

If we don’t know where we stand and we don’t know where we are going, how are we create an amazing life…? For what are we striving for? Where is the purpose? Where is the life built by design? How do we create our Masterpiece?

An unowned life doesn’t make sense… Not for nothing this doesn’t feel so good…

So, let’s start by owning the starting point. This is not going to feel so good at first either for it’ll be obvious how much things are not going as you’d prefer, and you created these results so far… But you know what, it’s ok to feel like crap about this because it is crap. Just don’t beat yourself up over it as you didn’t know any better, or couldn’t do any better with who you were then…

See that’s the trick, to create a better version of your life the better version of you needs to come out to play…?Your job is to Become your Best Self, for this is how you create your Best Life.?Take that to the bank! LOL

…Sit with being extremely unhappy with what you created so far, feel uncomfortable, feel the unease, feel the pain, feel the anger… Sit in the gap… For that’s all it actually is… (Smile. We’ll crack this!)

The next step is to forgive yourself, and never blame those around you…, for what’s happened so far…?Start clearing and letting go… Cleanse…

Keep on clearing – get rid of anything you are tolerating… Anything that doesn’t float your boat. Anything that’s an aggravation, inefficient, painful, torturous, a joy kill, etc… This is a great Summer Project by the way.

Feel the feelings that come up, and address the reactions, from yourself and others, as they come up… Don’t push stuff down, shrug it off, dismiss it or keep tolerating it. It’s time to uplevel!

This is probably the most important step. If you give up too quickly or numb yourself through the process…, you won’t get over the hump. You haven’t achieved the tipping point… Keep going. Be present, be persistent, be consistent, stay the course… It pays off, I promise.

Finally, as you go through this, make sure you are super kind, gentle, tender and loving towards yourself…?Have compassion for your old self… Appreciate all it was capable of doing and being with the limited resources it had… Now, looking back give yourself credit for all the awesomeness created so far. Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a gold star!

This is a powerful exercise in allowing You 2.0 to emerge and come out to play. In allowing yourself to Become your Best Self… This is so good…

Now there is room for the new…?Now you get to show up differently, not white-knuckling and drawing for self-discipline… Now there is room for more energy, for flow, for new?Habits . This is how you become a High Performer and the Master of your life!
