Leo Babuta of Zen Habits had a post recently “The Rut and the Way Out” that really hit home with me. I have been trying to re-organize, re-align, and re-focus my consulting business and personal life and it has just felt like too massive an undertaking. All I seemed to be able to do was to make lists, re-read my notes and end up taking a nap because it was just too tiring to try to tackle what appears to be a huge undertaking.
Quoting the post:
“…Here’s the thing: the first step wasn’t to take on a major challenge. It was simply announcing it.”. —- Well I’ve announced it. Re-Align and Re-focus
“… Can you take an even smaller step? Sure: you can simply ask, “What if?” —- Well- yeah- I can.
…”What if you tossed out your to-do list and only did 1 important thing each day before doing the less important tasks?” – yep – I can do that!
…”What if you tossed out your goals? What if you let go of your expectations? What if you got rid of everything you had?”
Well…. answering these questions worked for me!!
Announcing: breathing new life into this site
1 step at a time – as ittle as it may be…
Publish my goals
Let go of my expectations
I feel so much better. It really has helped me to move forward!! Thank you Leo! Has this worked for anyone else? Post a comment below.
