Establish Key Connections -- Connect To Yourself

The relationship you develop with yourself will be the most pivotal connection you make in your lifetime. This is the link that allows you to understand what you want, who you are, and how you want to live your life. Your self-connection will ground you and give you a sense of certainty that will allow you to move past your social mask and beyond the bravado of ego. Your self is the core of who you are--it will always lead you down a path of joy and empowerment.

The intimacy you experience with your core forms the basis of every other relationship you have. When you accept yourself, you will more easily accept others. Your ability to like, support, and appreciate yourself will make you much more likely to like, support, and appreciate the people in your life.

It's Time to Take Control of Your Life!

In my work with clients, I'm often asked to help women balance the many demands of their work, home, and personal responsibilities. In each instance, my clients are looking for a sense of control and balance in their life. Whether I'm talking to a corporate executive or a stay-at-home mother, my advice about life balance is always the same. You will balance your life, your work, and your personal aspirations when you stop managing your time, and start managing your priorities.

Time is finite. You get only 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Once you've used a moment, it is gone forever. The process of using your time effectively becomes possible when you begin to view it as a commodity versus an expendable resource.

Anticipating Obstacles

Have you ever embarked on a personal improvement program only to fall off the wagon within a few weeks of getting started? What caused you to fail?

Did you have trouble making the time to apply the program's material? Did you try to do too much at once? Were you talking to yourself in a disempowering way, saying things such as, "I never finish what I start" or "It won't matter anyway"? We fail to succeed because we fail to anticipate the forces in our lives that have the potential to derail our focus. It doesn't matter what the source of these factors are; whether they're related to a lack of time, a lack of personal belief, or a lack of real conviction. The unexamined presence of these saboteurs in your life will slow you down (at best), or (in a worst case scenario) stop you in your tracks.

Self Confidence Strategy Number One: Do What You Say You’re Going To Do

How many times have you made a promise to yourself; perhaps to exercise, to eat well, or to start a new project, only to find that (for one reason or another) you had to break your commitment? In these moments you likely rationalized your change of plans; someone needed your support, or something more urgent came up, and you went about supporting everyone (and everything) else in your life -- except you.

I have a truth for you. Every time you fail to follow through on a promise you've made to yourself you chip away at your self confidence.

Week Two: Make Time

The most frequent complaint I hear from men and women around the world is “I don’t have enough time to _________.” No matter what you want in your life; whether it’s a successful business, financial independence, a loving relationship, a fit body, or any combination of desires, you must make time in your day-to-day reality if you want to bring your dreams to life.

The truth is; you’re never going to find time to do the things that matter to you. (I assure you, it’s not hiding). You must make it. That means you must sit down with your calendar, and schedule regular appointments with yourself to focus on your dreams and goals.
