Since my brain injury, I had to figure out ways that would get me off my seat and get things done. I've figured out a few processes that really work for me. From getting one thing done to celebrating my accomplishments, these little sparks really work to light my fire. Dig in with me and check out whether some of these ideas might get you going! It's a short one but it's packed with goodness!

I was raised a people-pleaser. That meant that as long as I had “majority rule” among my friends and family, I read it as I was on the right track. I lived this way for years and everything in my life, from the job I chose to work at, to the house and neighborhood I lived in, was partly a result of what I thought people thought. It got tricky when I wanted to do something that I perceived people weren’t going to like. That resulted in me hiding my desires from those who I felt would disagree until I had to tell them or the life-results were out there for all to see. Because of this, my behavior was childlike and I was overlooking something really important, the message of the divine in my life. Don’t worry what others think. You have a divine voice giving you guidance about the opportunities in your life. Lean into your deeper purpose and eliminate the noise that comes with checking in on what others’ think. It will minimize the confusion and put you a path to a deep sense of fulfillment in your life.

This was an easy “little bit better” life topic for me. Being committed to your goals and dreams are an essential part of success. We all. have ideas but do you have what it takes to get across the finish line? Since my move from the Quad Cities to Des Moines, I have accumulated a few visions. I see myself 40 pounds lighter than the weight I gained since my incident. I can picture my speaking revitalized and to lasso in a few more interesting and driven coaching clients. I don’t want to hear about the economy or the interest in my key topics. I am focused on doing what it takes to move the needle in these areas in my life.

What I’ve noticed is, as I create a routine that gets me where I want to go, is that my desire to get after it doesn’t always keep pace with my big dreams. Sometimes I just don’t feel like working out. Or I don’t want to get dressed for networking connection after networking connection. That is the funny part of all of this. Sometimes you see the vision of what you want to change so clearly but it can be nothing short of challenging to stay the course. The thing is, is that there is no way around it. You hav e to commit the behaviors that will change your life. It feels so good to realize the results of sticking with it. So let’s focus in on commitment. What do you want? And what is standing in your way. Stay focused and the sky is the limit for you.
