Did you get a chunk of things done off your procrastination
list last month? I bet you have a lot more energy now! Keep
going on that list this month.
EVALUATING
This month is my birthday, so every October I get the urge
to evaluate my life. See what is working. Decide if I am
living how I want to live. Here are some questions to help
you with your own evaluation:
- Where do I see myself in the next
year?
- What am I passionate about in my life right now?
- Am I living by my values? Is there any place I am not
in integrity?
- Are my needs being met? Am I meeting the
needs of those close to me?
- What are my strengths? Am
I using them?
- Am I doing the best of my ability or is
there a place I need to raise my standards?
- How are my
boundaries with others? Do I often feel taken advantage
of?
- Is my daily routine helping me or boring me? Is there
anything I want to add or take away from my routine?
-
What is standing in my way of doing my dream? What can I
do about it?
- What am I tolerating in my life that is
draining my energy?
Take Action: Ask your evaluation questions. Review
your answers and decide what actions you want to take. Remember,
you are creating YOUR life, not someone else's.
If you need help coming up
with an action plan, e-mail me for a free e-coaching session
