Beliefs

Go easy on yourself!

How useful are your beliefs right now?

I am a huge fan of the power of belief and have spent the past week talking to lots of people about the beliefs that are tripping them up!

We are at the pointy end of the year. The 2023 garage door is coming down and we all have a few things to sort before the end of the month.

We all want to whip through our to do lists but before you start, let’s check your beliefs.

What do you believe about December?
That no one does any work?
That it’s a terrible time to get things done?
That everyone is stressed?
That there is too much to do?

All of these beliefs are decisions. We make up our minds and then look for proof that we are right!!

Instead of focusing and obsessing about all the negatives, how about you get a plan and make a decision to make the rest of the year easy?

The word easy means - achieved without great effort or without difficulty. Now I love effort but you can’t give what you haven’t got!

If you are exhausted and depleted, then make a pact with yourself to go easy on you for the next 24 days.

Whatever you believe - you are right. If you think that December is full of stressed out angry people, then that is what you will find.

The universe is good like that! You get what you give.

How about spending the rest of December giving kindness, care, and smiles to everyone?

2023 has been a heavy year. There are many people who are stretched out way too thin and a bit done.

If that’s you, then I think a meeting is in order.
Make yourself a platter and grab a drink!
First item of business:
Write down everything that needs to happen before the end of the year.
Split it into personal, family, and work.

Then allocate time to it all or block out space in your calendar.

Outsource anything you can. Hire a student! Get some people in to do the stuff you don’t enjoy and give them the benefit of some Christmas income.

Now breathe. Trust. Decide.
Decide that December is a wonderful time of year. A time to thank people for the effort they have put in. A time to be generous and to have fun.

Now drink that drink and eat that platter!

Your welcome.
