Are you setting impossible expectations for yourself?

Are you setting impossible expectations for yourself?

by | Online Business

Do you believe that the impossible is possible? It is true that belief can be half the battle, but what if you struggle to believe. Are you setting impossible expectations for where your beliefs are at?

Set The Bar

Isn't it amazing when you hear a great podcast that stops you in your tracks? This podcast did exactly that for me. According to Christine Kane, you should always set a bar that you can actually reach. By doing so, you will regularly experience the energy of completion. 

Listen to it here.

Hmm…

This made me wonder if there are areas in my life where I am setting impossible expectations that I don't fully believe I can meet? What is the best way to push start the belief?

One that comes to mind is doing twenty perfect push-ups on my toes when I struggle with two at the moment.

Then it dawned on me: to push the belief forward, we need to break it down into small, achievable steps.

As a business owner, I'm constantly breaking down big goals into milestones.

Is there a reason I wasn't doing the same thing with my personal goals to strengthen my belief in myself?

Impossible Expectations

We can derail our progress if we set impossible expectations. We can feel defeated whenever we take longer than we expect to achieve our goals.

What is the purpose of putting ourselves under that kind of pressure? Don't get me wrong, I believe that setting goals push us forward. Is it necessary to set impossible expectations for every goal we set?

What if there were a few that were easy to complete? Then set a new milestone along the way to achieving your bigger goal? Thinking about it from the perspective that I can hit rather than the fairytale of comparison I am creating in my head.

What about your goals?

What are the current goals you have for your life? What goals could you chuck down into baby ones, focusing on taking smaller steps instead of taking giant ones?

Little Side Note

We all want to have an amazing life! Be successful, have happiness, joy, and all the amazing things we could possibly have and we hold ourselves back. We hold ourselves back with self-talk such as I really want this but… I’m not good enough, I’m not smart enough, I’m not thin enough. Blah, blah, blah. What is your enough you struggle with? Bet on yourself. Say you can.

Private Coaching

Why do I believe in the power of private coaching?

Because it is truly life-changing. When your coach asks you that mind-blowing question that suddenly allows you to see what you've been missing all along that was literally right in front of your face.

You just need someone with a different perspective to help you see it.

Did You Know That Unmade Decisions Clutter Your Life?

Did You Know That Unmade Decisions Clutter Your Life?

by | Online Business

Have you ever stopped to think about how all those unmade decisions are quietly cluttering your life? Let me guess, the answer is no. Our days are already filled with making decisions from when we decide to open our eyes in the morning until we decide to close them again at night.

Unmade Decisions

What about all those unmade decisions you have floating around in your brain. I bet if you sat down right now, you’d be able to write out at least ten from the little things to big things we have going on in our lives.

Did you ever stop to think about how those are affecting you?

Cause You To Be Overwhelmed

Have you given any thought to how your unmade decisions cause you to be overwhelmed and stressed?

How are they affecting your productivity? Let me ask, have you had this happen to you?

You’re heads down, in full concentration mode, and suddenly that unmade decision is triggered. Your productivity comes off the rails because now you are focused on that unmade decision.

Unmade Decisions

How they impact us

I think you’ll agree with me when I say unmade decisions impact our sleep, concentration, and well-being.

The problem is it impacts our overall feelings of joy and happiness. Have you stopped to think about it in that way?

The time you spend deliberating over an unmade decision has a consequence on your life. It all boils down to this, they hold us back from progress. Leave us feeling exhausted, clutter our brains, and in the end, it is just procrastination.

Make the decision

The solution is simple, make the decision. If you need to do research to decide, put time on your calendar to get it done.

Look at how the decision will affect you in five years? If it has minimal impact on our future, it should take you very little time to decide.

Ask yourself why you’re making the decision so hard? Why are your thoughts ruminating over this decision? Our thoughts drive our actions and results.

Now, this is important; what are you scared of? What are you afraid will happen if you make the decision? Fear can pop up in strange places.

And this is where people run into trouble; you do not think that carrying around your unmade decisions is causing you to feel overwhelmed. But there’s a catch from not deciding, you are cluttering your mind and staying stuck.

What is the worst that can happen if you just decided already?

Why do you need to give yourself a pat on the back?

Why do you need to give yourself a pat on the back?

by | Online Business

Girl, you need to stop and give yourself a pat on the back. If I could have written my younger self a letter with this advice, It would’ve made the list of advice. How about you?

As women, we can be so hard on ourselves. Saying things to ourselves that we would never dream of saying to anyone else. Justifying it as I’m just being honest with myself.

Why do we feel the need to tear ourselves down when we should instead give ourselves a pat on the back for all the accomplishments and obstacles we overcome.

All the juggling and balancing we do in life. It is truly amazing. But, instead of giving ourselves the sweet reward of self-praise, love, and admiration for a job well done.

We look at all the things that we judged to be below par. Creating a long list of how we could have done it better.

Instead of sayin’ “Heck ya girl, you nailed that,” along with a well-deserved pat on the back.

Stop being so hard on yourself.

Why look outside for others to empower us? Do it your dang self!

Don’t get me wrong, I, too, am a work in progress when it comes to self-praise; I accept that. This acceptance allows me grace when I notice these negative thoughts and feelings.

Flipping the script and giving myself a pat on the back for a job well done is self-empowerment.

It’s not always easy.

It’s not always easy to give the well-deserved pat on the back to ourselves. Depending on how you have raised this behavior may have been frowned upon. But why? Why is it better to accept praise from others for our accomplishments but not give ourselves thanks and self-praise? I’m going to just say that is a bunch of crap.

Be proud of yourself; give that pat on the back. Be the empowered business owner.

Celebrate

Case in point, one of my clients has so many unpublished blog posts about her simple, clean living homestead.

She hasn’t hit the publish button on any of them. We had the conversation that her own thoughts are keeping herself a well-kept secret.

Why?

Out of fear.

What did I do?

I challenged her to actually do one small thing before our next meeting. Put out just one blog post allowing someone the possibility to benefit from it.

When she takes action, she must give herself a pat on the back, the self-praise for having the courage to do it.

It can be scary, but lots of things in life can be difficult.

Pat on the Back, Self Praise

Stories

We tend to make up all these stories in our minds of what is going to happen.

The only thing these stories do is keep us stuck. We will never really know until we do the hard thing. Once it’s done, give yourself that well-deserved pat on the back.
