Borrowed  Wisdom

ON REALITY

"Reality is the leading cause of stress amongst those in touch with it. " Jane Wagner

 

A Coach often uses distinctions to expand client's perspective to enable them to think in new ways. Language is a powerful tool that human's have in their kit that other species lack that enables us to reframe the way we see things and make better choices from the enlarged perspective.

 

The distinction between OPPORTUNITIES & DISTRACTIONS has been a very powerful one for me.

I never wanted to miss an opportunity and often found myself trying to juggle too many things, not bringing the level of excellence I'd like to any of them. I also would miss the chance to "go deep" with the opportunities that would have been great ones for me because my energies were spread across so many projects. The Jack(or Jane) of All Trades but Master of None Syndrome!

 

As I have helped clients design their plans for an Awesome 2003, I find many are struggling with this same issue when deciding what goals and roles to include for this year. You, too, may be holding on to "old" obligations or commitments that have already given you their fruit. By resigning from  a committee or from a leads group where you are comfortable and competent, but where you aren't growing, you enable someone else to take your spot and learn and contribute. You know it is time to move on or say no when you notice your heart doesn't SING at the thought of THAT involvement.

 

The same principle is useful with many other areas, such as marketing choices, client needs and requests for help from others. Ask yourself, does it fit with YOUR big picture this year? Does it excite you or fulfill you? Or does it stress you ?

 

Then choose only the items and commitments that are true opportunities for your life for this year. By choosing carefully with conscious thought, you be able to focus your attention. Know the distractions will take energy and dissipate your results. And, if there is an opportunity you pass by now, it will probably be available or surface again in the future.

Less is often more!

Advantage Thinking: Joeann's Rule of 3

This year, I ask you to choose only 3! Three big goals for the year. Three areas each month that will take you closer to those 3 goals. Three areas of focus each week that are the important/non-urgent areas. And then each day: Which Three things TODAY would make the most difference? You will find power by simplifying to 3. You can then focus as a laser with an intensity that was not available when you were focusing on 20+ items.
