'False-Starts'

Are you working toward a goal? Have you set a plan to meet that goal?

You have? Great!

Now... toss it.

That's right, toss your plan right out the window.

"What's this?" you ask? Has Helen, lost her marbles? Well, yes and no...

This may sound unusual but, in most cases, when we set a "PLAN" to meet a goal, it is typically, what I'd like to call a, 'false start'.

Maybe you will recognize a 'false start' as I try to explain...

  • You really want to loose weight. Before you can start watching the food you eat, you have to check your family calendar, (and your work calendar and your kids' calendars...) to see when this plan will fit in your life.

  • You want to create better relationships. You "plan" to buy a book and read it IN ITS ENTIRETY, before accepting an invitation that may offer you a new opportunity.

  • You want to exercise more. BEFORE you can lace up a new pair of running shoes, you PLAN to listen to a 4 hour CD about the dos and don't of getting in shape.

Now, before I continue...THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with these steps.

Nothing wrong about doing some research or educating yourself.

The 'PLAN' breaks down when it takes much longer than needed or delays you from taking real action toward your goal.

Love Yourself - IT MATTERS!

'Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going.' Tennessee Williams

Living in the moment was a very hard concept for me to learn. It took years of practicing this skill on a daily basis and finally it has become a little easier.

Some of the tools that help me live in the present moment.

  • Stop what I am doing and ask myself, "What is happening right now?"

  • Think about what I am grateful for right now.

  • Take a moment to look out my office window and watch the birds eating from the birdfeeders.

  • Sit in a chair with my cats and listen to their purring and relax.

What tools and techniques do you use to live in the present moment? I would love to hear what works for you, please email me at helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net. By sharing with each other we can create happiness and peace in our lives.

What have you done nice for yourself lately?
