What would it be worth to you to relieve the pressure in your head of all the things that are occupying space in it? We walk around on a daily basis taking up space in our brains related to several things that we are pre-occupied with. Sometimes these things are the regular everyday issues that need our attention but we fail to take action on them so they stay in our head, taking up space. These things aggravate us over time. We drive home and see that outdoor project that will help us make more room in the garage still lingering in our brain. The image creates anxiety because we haven't done anything about it and now its winter and you so wish you had done something about it because now you have to leave the car outside and get dumped on by the blizzard going on just in front of your house!
We tend to have an array of such issues that take up our brain space and our worry space. This space could be used to focus on a dream you want to pursue but that gets frustrated due to these unattended and unfinished resolves to improve our life and surroundings. I was reminded of this recently when I ordered some siding to finally finish up a project at the front of our house. I realized that I had spent a better part of a year letting this project linger in my head. Every time I pulled up to my driveway, the unfinished project was starring me right in the face. Every time I had a spare brain moment, I was reminded of this. I realized the relief of having worked a plan and executed that plan to completion. This project holds no more brain space in my head because its completion has made room in my brain for other more desirable things!
What would it be worth for you to free up some of that space in your head for something that you really have wanted to do for a long time. Connecting with a coach and getting them to help you set a goal and create action steps is a way of getting to the free space in your head. If this really resonates with you then I encourage you to do the following:
• Find a coach and share what is taking up space in your head. If there is no coach available, have a family member or close friend use the PLAN in this book to help you.
- • Ask the coach to help you establish a PLAN – with a goal that will reach the target of getting that project finished and behind you.
- • Break the goal down into manageable steps to get to where you want to be.
- • Create realistic action steps that have a high degree of commitment on your part.
- • Follow through on the action steps and watch as the project gets done.
- • Throw a party with loved ones when you’ve reached the POINT in the horizon where your goal is complete.
- • Take the time to share with your coach how completing that project made you feel and you learned from the experience.
- • Take the confidence you have achieved and tackle the next thing that is taking up space in your brain.
