| ✅Declutter.
Leave what is physically and emotionally unnecessary. You notice what you feel when you leave the old T-shirts or negative self-talk.
✅Change your routine.
Great change begins with a tiny shift in life, and the creation of new pathologies in the brain does not take much. Take a new way home from work, for instance.
✅Get uncomfortable.
Move your baby's steps outside your comfort area. It's embarrassing and uncomfortable to eat alone in a restaurant, but it also empowers me to move outside of my comfort zone in another way.
✅Write your narrative.
Who do you want to become? Be honest. Express yourself creatively. Brainstorm a vision plan, make a collage, or create a song.
✅Embrace failure.
Failure is a natural and necessary part of growing and developing. One of my favourite quotes is, “If you’re not failing, you’re not innovating” by Elon Musk.
✅Recognize resistance.
Our nature is to seek the path of least resistance. Noticing how I am resisting change is a huge step forward.
✅Seek a mentor.
Who in your life has the character and skills you’d like to emulate? How did they get to where they are today?
✅Be open.
You will get any opportunities outside our expectations. Take advantage of possibilities right in front of you that match who you are.
✅Contextualize your profession.
Every trade and profession teaches skills (such as leadership, communication, and organization skills) that can cross over into other professions. What transferable skills have you developed in your current or previous profession? |
