Do you feel worn out running your business?
Have you connected with your ‘why’ recently? Why are you building your business? It makes it all worthwhile when you remember what you’re striving for, and helps you to take the time to appreciate exactly where you are now.
Stop and eat the carrots.
When working with a client recently, and many of us do this, I noticed at no point did she stop and appreciate all the hard work she’s doing, she just kept looking to the next thing, and the next thing. No wonder she was feeling worn out, deflated and slightly disillusioned with running her business. If you feel like this, stop a moment. Breathe.
Don’t just dangle carrots (or goals) in front of you, and never take the time to eat them!! Yes goals are great to steer us in the right direction, but to always be continuously aiming for them, then as you achieve them, you immediately go on to the next without a second thought, (do you?) you’re stopping yourself from truly appreciating your expertise, and the results you have achieved.
Today, take some time to eat some carrots! Appreciate what you have achieved.
Don’t burn yourself out always running to the next thing, before you’ve stopped to reflect on what you have done.
Sometimes it’s not easy is it? Some days are harder than others.
Stop and say thank you, out loud, to yourself. You’re doing really well.
Encouragement goes a long way and creates a positive feedback loop.
It doesn’t matter if anyone’s listening, they’ll be inspired. And if no-one’s with you right now as you’re reading this, well, there is one person who is listening, YOU. Go for it!!
It could be one or many things; be thankful of the small steps you take each day to build your business; be thankful of how you step outside your comfort zone on a regular basis to do what you do, and I bet you have a big list of other things you’re thankful for don’t you?
As you connect with your why and thank yourself, you’ll send positive signals to your brain, connect neural pathways that will empower you and encourage you in ways you might not yet have discovered.
Write down what you are thankful for. Say them out loud. Notice what you notice, as you do.
Thank you for reading, I hope I make a positive difference to you and help you transform your business. It’s why I write to you.
To your success and happiness, be thankful and go eat those carrots today!
