A to Z to a Successful ME!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Many times when we make our New Years Resolutions we do them on automatic pilot. Just stating the desired, wished for result and thinking hopeful thoughts like "I really hope I can do it this time, this year ...." We view the goal for the New Year as something that will be fraught with difficulty, struggle and false starts.

Do we stop to consider all the talents, skills and abilities that we already possess to assist us in achieving our resolutions? I think not. So today let's go through the alphabet and list A to Z what you are capable of doing to be Free! (And then you can use some or all of these as your daily affirmations to cheer yourself on in your goals)

I have an ATTITUDE of Gratitude!
I take BOLD actions on my BUSINESS!
I CREATE a vision board for my 2012 goals!

You can prove you are a Success!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Did you know that you are already a success? It's true!
Many times we forget that we already have a success history in different areas of our life. Things like a college degree, living on your own in your first apartment, having a successful interview and getting a job, a promotion, raise, running a household, traveling or moving out of state, owning your first car or house, chairing a committee, volunteering in your community, overcoming a health challenge. There are so many things in life that we have already successfully done or accomplished and it is these things that we need to write down and keep as a success reference. Go ahead and take five minutes and write down 5 successes you have already achieved in your life. (It can be in career, education, family, finances, health, community ...) Keep adding to it as you remember more and accomplish more.

Now when you are facing a task that you have doubts of your success in, just pull out your list and tell your inner critic or your Outer Critic "STOP! I know I can do This and I can prove it!" and read your list.

Affirm:
     I am already a Success and I Can Prove it To Myself!

Choose to make it a Great Day!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:
Each day is a new beginning. Today is a clean slate. You can make today a great day or a difficult day. It's your choice.

Here are some ways of making today a great day:
-Take a moment and SEE - Visualize what your great day would look like.
-Write down a couple of positive statements and post them where you can easily see them. ( today mine are "You can do it!" and " I accomplish my tasks with ease")
-Instead of a to do list start a DONE list. Write down everything you accomplish or do today-even little things.
-Set a timer for a specific amount of time to keep you on track and moving forward! (from 15 minutes to one hour)
-Use the TIMER and set a time limit for non essential things like; phone calls, internet, tv, junk mail, shopping, etc.
-Self Talk - Monitor the story you are telling yourself about today. Change "I'll never get all this done" to "I am excited to see how much I get done today!"
-FOCUS- keep your focus on the things that ARE working today and on the things you DID get done.
-Cheer Yourself on today! Don't wait for someone else instead do it yourself. As you go through your day tell yourself "way to go!" "I knew you could do it" or "Keep going you are almost there!"
And Remember:
-If you get caught up in any stress or negativity then just STOP! and start making a great day again.

Affirm:
     I am the CEO of Me and I create my best day right now in this moment!

Have a you make it great Monday!

Be Resolute in Achieving your Goals this year!

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

The early New Year is full of resolutions. In the Webster dictionary resolution is defined as: firmness of purpose; statement of will or intent.
To be resolute is defined as: having a fixed purpose.

So as you make your resolutions this New Year give some careful thought. Develop a clear vision of what you want to create for yourself this year. Then make the commitment to yourself to be resolute in pursuing your goals. Create a powerful statement of intention and post it where you can see it regularly.

Affirm:
     I am committed and resolute in pursuing and achieving my goals for 2011. I am worthy and deserving of complete resolution in this New Year.

Have a Resolute Tuesday!

My Success Habits Vision Board

This is my Success Habits Vision Board that I did a couple of weeks ago. I really love the way it turned out and I have it hanging right over my monitor so I can look at it and read it every day. It keeps me motivated and moving forward. I even like the head shot of me that I pasted onto my board!

Be Motivational and Inspirational

Get Jazzed & Joyful Thought:

Today instead of trying to do everything yourself, delegate. And delegate with enthusiasm and inspiration. Truly motivating others is the difference between saying "here do this" and "I know you are the right person to get this job done."
So today find out how motivating you can be by inspiring others, whether at work or at home with words of encouragement, support and by accentuating the positive.

Affirm:
    Today I pay attention to the way I communicate motivation and inspiration to others.

Have a Motivational and Inspirational Tuesday!
