Self-esteem comes from staying focused on your goal. Focus is the key to making something happen. It's about keeping the end in mind, regardless of the distractions along the way. I woke up this morning with an intention of writing in my Blog. For the last few months, I have not allowed it to be the priority it needs to be. Consequently, I didn't get the result I wanted--a viable Blog presence with a connection to clients and potential clients. Today, I put a stop to that. So with computer key in hand, I started typing. As a result, this piece is being published. The first of one a week. Today I stayed focused on my intention to create and publish my weekly Blog.
Bring to mind your own experience. How often have you said, today, I will do ____, and never did it? How many times have you attempted to complete a task and never completed it? How many times have you made a commitment to yourself that you didn't keep? How many times have you simply allowed STUFF to get in the way of you doing something that was important to you?
Well regardless of how many times it's happened in the past, today you get to turn that around. STOP feeling guilty about what you haven't done and let's get busy doing something today. Maybe your commitment is to work on a project you've been putting off. Maybe it's to finish an article you promised to write, make a phone call, hire an assistant, go to the gym, or send out a proposal. Whatever it is, today is your day to be focused on that one thing, that's all, and get it done. I find the best way to get a project done that's looming over me is to break it into small pieces and then just do one thing at a time. You CAN do this.
Self-esteem comes from staying focused on your goal. You'll find by the end of today, after you complete your task, you'll feel so much better about yourself. Good luck and until next week---Keep doing those Esteemable acts!
