Stop Waiting On Your Life

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

This week I was sitting on the phone with tech support, and over and over again, I thought of things I could have done while I sat there — waiting — not living my life.  Are you on hold?in your life? Are you waiting for a spouse to come along, or for him/her to act better towards you?  Are you waiting on the motivation to get your home organized?  Are you waiting on a great job to fall into your lap?  Are you waiting on winning the lottery to plan your retirement?  Stop waiting on your life!  The only difference between you and the people who are getting what they want, is that they kept moving and you didn’t.  Here are some ideas to help get you started again.  Focus on the who, not the what. If you find that you’re been stuck in a goal for a while, try restating it in who am I?terms instead of that I want?terms.  For example, instead of saying want to lose 30 lbs.  say I am someone who takes care of herself by keeping my weight around XXX which is a healthy range for my height and age.? Be as specific as possible.

Notice that I want to be someone who helps others?could mean anything from a clerk in the grocery store to a heart surgeon.  Focus on who you want to be.  Then ask yourself what actions would be fit with your desire    Analyze it.  Did you know that a full 80% of your problems come from 20% of your life?  It’s true!  Determine what that 20% is that’s affecting so much of your life, and start working to make it happier, more efficient, more satisfying.  Assign Value. A big mistake I see in my coaching clients is not assigning a true value to your time, to your energy, to your money, and to the real estate?(space) of your home or office.  Realize that for each thing you say Yes to — from a pair of shoes to watching a movie — you have said No to something else.  Always ask yourself – is this  valuable   enough to me to crowd my life with, or even to bump something else from my closet, my schedule, my money?   Establish routines. I know you have pizza night?- so why not sills night or clean your room night?as well?  Like the pizza night, routines show up in all kinds of ways in your life.

I am a person who at many times in my life have felt down and depressed about various issues that I have had in my life such as the fact that I had a speech impediment, stuttering. I was desperate to find a way to stop stammering/stuttering and was more than happy to work hard to achieve fluency.

From reading life coaching and positive thinking books, I realised I had to become a far stronger person, more care-free and to have more respect for myself. The new me was a person that was only going to go to places that I wanted to – no more accepting second best for me. I was well aware that it would be tough to ensure that I kept up this new found attitude but I knew I had to give it my best shot.

I was soon to be tested, it was at one of my friends(Ian)houses. He is a very successful business man; he sells front doors for a living and can be quite an assertive person, he also works with a group of cost reduction experts. He and some of the other “boys” had organised an evening out for the following weekend. There were numerous reasons why I did not want to go out on that particular night. Ian soon asked if I was interested in going out to which I answered in the negative.

That answer was not enough for him and he proceeded to question my reasons for not wanting to go. I felt all of the eyes of the people present descend on me and I felt quite awkward. Normally in this situation I would give some excuse but instead I asked him why I needed to give a reason and why my answer of no was not enough for him. He seemed quite shocked at my strong response and moved on to question and nag someone else.

I am now a much more assertive person myself and I am pleased to report that I have now managed to overcome the stutter thanks mainly due to the expert therapy offered at the How To Stop Stammering Center in Birmingham.
