We prepare ourselves for everything… almost. Barring the freakishly random events, we use statements to prepare ourselves to just keep the status quo. Why?
Change is absolutely doable, but it can create such challenges- Mentally or physically, for some if not most people. I believe the trick of things is to do all you can do to discover what kind of person you are and how to deal with and respond to your individualized responses to life, to change.
I want to transition a few parts of my life to make the habits of living line up better with the habits necessary for financial freedom but seem to sabotage my efforts more often than I would like to admit.
From deciding to pay bills instead of complete a workbook entry (harder work no doubt) to you name any of the many distractions I can dig up for myself, I keep myself from taking big steps at times. Why?
Even writing this is not “doing” but I figure at least I’m trying to address the feelings that pervade the gut when I knowingly choose not to do or change.
So then, today is not any old Tuesday. I see myself connecting with those three people I need to connect with, putting good work into a couple projects and feeling great about my interactions with my clients today. I will be open and ensure the people I connect with will be listened to and I will ensure I make time to breath, move and listen to myself.
The trick of it becomes what am I really saying in relation to reality as I would like it to be vs. the reality I have created for myself to date. The cravings for stimuli from people, food and otherwise that I am searching for as I try to listen to myself are not what I want them to be so every time I bow to them, I perpetuate this reality. My cells are bathed in the signals of each moment, more importantly, each moment I repeat.
I believe it is a simple math that takes people from the any-old to the amazing each day, the question is, what do you want to cultivate?
“The anatomy of a perfect day: Up to hydrate and write: dump for 15, write and hydrate for 2 litres. Tai Chi/Yoga/Strength, stretch. Green drink. Cient: Functional and Muscle Test, cardio/Stregth intervals, relaxation actions, stretching, hydrate and snack (2 hours). Brunch/Meeting with new/old client. Chi Gong/meditation. Client as above or a small group mirroring my day. Snack and prep for dinner/clean or prep for evening class or educational/growth (personal and business) event. Eat, love, enjoy, read, stretch, visualize, sleep, lucid dream. Wake up and visualize the success of the next.”
That is what I want, so it is the space I need to find and the people that I can help that will fill in those blanks for at least 4 days a week at $80/hour.

ReplyDelete• Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
