Life is Short-Live It Now!
Are you “shoulding” all over yourself?
by Toni Miller on 01/22/12
Here it is nearly the end of the first month of the new year and let me ask you...how are those new year resolutions and goals doing? Are you on track? If so, great! Have you already veered off track a bit? Well there might be a reason so I will ask you to ask yourself “why” you set the goal you set. Knowing why you make any commitment is crucial. Some are driven by others, like your boss with regards to a project but I am not talking about that kind of commitment. Here we are speaking of pledges you have made to yourself. These are resolutions that greatly effect your well being and your energy. Whatever you have decided you want to accomplish in the coming year make sure it is something that your mind and heart have created. This kind of desire is the fuel needed to keep you on target. Soulful nourishment will help you recover from a setback. Your heart will be a constant reminder of who you are and why you deserve to reach your intended target. Disappointments appear quickly for those that project aspirations based on what you think you “should” do. When you do things because your Aunt Mary thinks you should your goal is based on someone else’s values. This is a set up for disappointment at best. You must believe as Aunt Mary does in your head and in your heart if you wish to succeed. Stay true to yourself, set realistic goals and find a coach or a mentor to help you. Enlisting someone objective and non-judgmental will give you guiding support, help you stay on track and turn setbacks into new perspectives and opportunities. Life is short, live it now, Coach Toni
