The unspoken truth of the holidays for some adults is that -  it is a lot.  A lot to manage, a lot to feel, and a lot to DO.  Even if this isn’t true for you during the holiday season, I want to arm you with resources to calm your nervous system all year long. Since I teach people to move through fear and follow their soul led goals - I happen to have a lot of tools in the toolbelt!

A trigger is not something that is being done TO you. A trigger is showing up FOR you. A trigger is a blast from the past. It is an emotional wound. When a trigger becomes activated, it is inviting you to turn inward for healing.

After years of coaching business owners and business professionals, I’ve realized that there is no one size fits all when it comes to productivity.  Different work styles, personality styles and even learning types mean different tools.  There are endless templates, apps, planners, etc. so FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU and stick to it!

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now but if you feel lonely on the road to the life that you want YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  

Why is it lonely?

Because most people aren’t doing it…

Most people are living their lives the way that we were taught…

Many of my clients are also parents.  Even if you aren’t a parent, there is something to be said for a fresh start in the fall.  We can all soak in and benefit from the back-to-school vibes…  Prepping supplies and structures, new beginnings, and routines.  Get dialed in and ready to renew.

What you pay attention to, expands. If the second you wake up, your first thought is always - “I’m late!”, “I don’t have time”, “how will I get it all done with so little time”... Then guess what? You won’t! Because all of your energy and attention are on your time scarcity.

Choose one of these statements that brings you the most calm. Say it often, write it on a post it and place it in frequently visited locations (your computer, car, bathroom mirror, kitchen, etc.).

If you continue to block time off for tasks that you want to tackle, yet blow past that color-coded, categorized time on your google calendar to instead tackle urgent client or family demands, you are going to continue to disappoint yourself.

I know plenty of people (lots of entrepreneurs) who have mastered the art of procrastination. They allow the deadline and the fact that the deliverable is due to someone else create built-in motivation and urgency that carries them through task completion just in time for their deadline.

We all know that New Year’s resolutions aren’t an effective way to create lasting change. Forbes has a poll that says that on average resolutions last 3.74 months.

You know exactly WHAT you want to be working on. However, the distractions, the shiny objects and the fact that you wear too many hats has you down on yourself.

Measuring your success and worthiness off of a completed to-do list is keeping you stuck.

The disappointment you feel in yourself that you can’t sustain balance all of the time can erode at your self-trust and you may just give up on it and swing fully into one or the other, against what you truly want.

If you keep busying yourself with the never-ending and insignificant to-do’s, you’ll never have time for the things that are truly important to your soul.

Managing your time is not the best way to achieve your objectives.

What eats away at your time? What do you long to say no to?

I teach several ways to help manage your attention to find focus but I’m going to teach you my favorite one, the Focus 30 Method.

I am about to show you how to step into your weekend proud of a productive week. Instead of heading to cocktail hour at 3pm Friday with defeat, disappointed in your progress, dreading Monday because of the unfinished pile of spill-over-to-do’s from last week!

It feels like wearing too many hats and not wearing any of them well…

There is a combination of technology, too many to-do’s, overcommitting, over-delivering in some cases and limited amounts of time that create this pulled in too many directions phenomenon.

Do you think all successful entrepreneurs actually stop their shiny object syndrome? Clearly visionaries and true entrepreneurial spirits are flooded with new ideas & exciting distractions regularly.
