Too Busy to Be Successful?
Hey Reader,
You know that big thing you've been talking about doing for a while? That one that you're just waiting for the right moment to start.
...And that moment isn't quite right just yet. But someday soon it will be.
Well, let me remind you:
The time will pass, whether you're acting on your idea or not.
Coincidentally, whoosh! The first 90 days of 2023 just wrapped up.
And conveniently, we can tidily parcel out the contents of a year's worth of time into four 90-day sections. Which means this week is the start of the second of the four 90-day period.
π£ Which makes this week an excellent time to take the first step toward becoming that person you're waiting to become!
(Psst: In case you need to hear this, stop waiting for someone's permission to do that thing. Just decide and do.)
I've been successfully using the second exercise described in the video below for about a year now.
Here are some of the things I've changed:
- Cleaned up my sleep habits: Stopped bringing my phone into the bedroom, started going to bed & waking on the same daily schedule.
- Started playing once per week in a new way: Climbing (which has led to getting acquainted with a new community & more opportunity for growth)!
- Stopped ignoring the signals my body has been sending: after 6 months of work, eating the right amount of protein (g) is within my grasp, and I'm loving what this shift has permitted me to accomplish with my energy, health, & performance.
- Kept walking that dang dumb dog π€£
- By far the biggest use for this 90-day exercise has been for my business. I have started, stopped, and kept doing - through multiple 90-day cycles - so many things that have changed the trajectory of my business: marketing, target audience connection, back end operations, and methods of educating & helping people.
All of my coaching clients are invited to work through this exercise with me as part of this month's discussion & habit formation focus.
I encourage you to try each exercise on your own! Instructions are in the video. π
Have an amazing first week of April!
Anne
PS - If you're a climber, or you know anyone who goes bouldering or climbing AND lives in the Portland, Oregon area, consider attending this Mobility for Climbing Performance class series!
