21 days. That’s how long it takes to form a habit.
That’s what I need to do. Form some positive habits. I always seem to know what I should be doing and actually even like those things. What keeps me from following through on consistently doing things that I want to do for myself?
I want to exercise regularly. I want to eat healthfully. (I am one of those people, who really likes healthy foods.) I want to work on building my coaching business. I want to keep in touch with friends. I want to read regularly. I want to take classes, but I don’t know what classes.
Ahhh! That is part of the problem. I don’t know what I want to do.
Recently I keep coming back to my plan from 2008: becoming a life coach. Now it is more defined as Life and Cultural Transition Coach. I can do trainings and workshops. So, what is stopping me?
Do I not believe in myself? Is it my financial situation? Am I afraid of failure?
All of the above?
I lack confidence in my self discipline.
Hmmm. So if I do manage to follow through on the things I really want to implement, the things I want to make habit, I will prove to myself that I can do it, I have what it takes.
Which things will I choose?
Exercise.
Time for myself and my life.
Now I need a plan with SMART goals.
I’m already telling others about it.
I’ll let you know how it goes.

Business success so frequently distills into a few key concepts. The first is action. Business has a way of taking a life of its own and evolving into an entity that no one, not even the wisest sage, can predict. A chance encounter, a well timed question, a warm hello can all lead to business growth and new directions.
The key is to act. Have an understanding of where you want to be, but retain humility and recognize where you think you may want to be is based on an incomplete set of facts and a large amount of assumptions.
Act now and not later. Adjust the sails as you proceed. It is much easier to adjust to near term events then events that are planned out well into the future and may never happen.
A few words of wisdom and action that help me overcome fear and uncertainty and yet, continues to bring a smile to my face…
