How to Tackle Fear

What can you do to tackle fear?

Fear can make us angry, timid, uncomfortable.  Here is a quick way to tackle fear:

Break your fear into small pieces and tackle each one individually.  If you give yourself an action for each small piece, the fear becomes manageable.  While you may never be comfortable, at least you will be more confident on your way through it.

Example:  Fear of public speaking, but due to your new job role, you need to speak at monthly meetings to report on team results.

1. Start  with the meeting agenda - how much time do you have to speak?
2. Understand what is required to be covered during that meeting.
3. Determine what you can actually say in that time
4. Write out your notes and practice in the mirror at least 5 times.
5. Ask your team to listen to you say your part at least one day before the meeting.  This helps the team hear what you will say and help you practice in front of an audience with whom you are already comfortable.
6. Dress professionally and comfortably.
7. Take 3 deep breaths before you leave for the meeting
8. Have your notes with you at the meeting to use during your time.
9. Do your best - say your part.
10. Ask for feedback after the meeting from a colleague or your boss.
11. Implement feedback for next time.

It will work!

Move It Move It Move It

When you say 'Move it, move it, move it' say it with some rhythm...like in the movie 'Madagascar'.  They are dancing to a great beat..and the energy is flowing.  Do you  Move it, Move it, Move it?
Do you get your body out on the track or the dance flow and make it move?  Get your flow going so that you are sweating and breathing hard and enjoying the limits to which you can push your body.
You need to.
Your body needs to move.
Even if you are stuck sitting at a desk or driving for a living, you need to get up/out and move around.  Get the blood flowing, get oxygen circulating, get your muscling moving.
This all will help you clear your mind and find energy to finish your day.
Do it.  Go now.
Move it.  Move it.  Move it!

Do You Have a Master Mind?

Napoleon Hill, author of 'Think and Grow Rich' is the father of the 'mastermind' concept.
The mastermind is quite simple.
The mastermind is what happens when more than one mind work together in harmony, focused on a common goal.  More than one mind can conceive ideas that a single mind may never find.

Joining a mastermind group - online, by teleconference or in person, can provide you and your business with a unique avenue to look into the future and create amazing new plans that are developed because of the focus on your business by more than one mind.

FInd Yourself

Can you see into a crystal ball...find yourself and like what you are looking at right now?
Can you see your future?
Do you have plans for the New Year?
How are you going to accomplish those plans?

Turn them into goals - measurable goals - and take along a coach for accountability.
Sometimes we create goals and plans, and without an outside, objective partner to help us maintain accountability, we can easily (and quickly) fall off the tracks and miss our journey completely.

By having a coach, we can discover new perspectives, get objective viewpoints, receive challenges we may not have yet understood or even simply get recognition for taking the steps we are currently taking.

My Strengths

You have strengths. Things that you do well.  Things that perhaps you can do better than anyone else.  Think through the following questions to create a clear picture of your strengths:

1. What are your strengths? 
2. How do they make you who you are today? 
3. How did you get those strengths? 
4. How do you use those strengths?

Understanding your strengths can help you to develop an action plan to use those strengths to develop areas you would like to improve.

To learn more about this visit Solution Linx to Personal Growth - there is a whole month that focuses on strengths including tools and resources to help you make the best of what you have.

Texture of Your Life

Life is full of texture if we take time to look at it.
We can look closely or we can look from far away.
We will see depth, colours, shine, bumps, waves, valleys, light, reflections and more.
What we do with the textures will determine the depth of our lives.
We can live on the surface seeing only colour.
Or we can live in the texture and feel the colour changes, the movement of lines, the growth of sensations and the waves that can carry us over the bumps that lie in between.
Our lives are our own. 
How we see them can change as we want/need it to. 
Help others see their lives as the rich texture they are.

How Full is My Cup

Everyone's cup is different and we look at our cups in different ways.  How do you see your cup?

Empty?

Refillable or always Full?

Stackable - like you are juggling more than one cup?

Always full of rainbows and multi-coloured fun?

Or is your cup simply different from everyone else's so the measurement would be too?  In this case, your measurement would rely on 'draining the cup' or 'missing the cup'.

What is your cup like today?
