Is “Yes, But” or “If Only” your middle name?

Got too much on your procrastination plate, Bubba?

Is the phrase “personal responsibility” an oxymoron? An impossible dream?

Time to optimize optimism and happily ingest intestinal fortitude. Only you
can get to your designated finish line.

Save your sanity! Ignite these 7 tips and learn how to tolerate, calm, and accept
yourself as you accomplish with bliss! Don’t even think about making excuses as
you read these. I will hunt you down, and we WILL have one hot-to-trot coaching
session! Have fun and get it done! Here’s how:

1. Stop, take a deep breath in your nose, then breathe out your mouth with a
big sigh! Cut yourself some slack. Make a specific, realistic, time sensitive, able
to do, prioritized “to do” goal list. Feel your relief as you take a few more deep
breaths. One small step, then another. You will get there.

2. LOL. You heard me right. When you find yourself off track, laugh out loud.
Read a joke, watch a funny video, or go on line and Google laughing clubs.
Taking a break makes you work/play more effectively.

3. Honestly ask yourself, “What am I really avoiding? Greet your angst. Hug it.
Love it. Help it get back on track. Reward yourself when you accomplish even
a small goal win. Sing! Dance! Pat yourself on the back and grin!

4. Give thanks! Become a gratitude junkie. Thank yourself for getting things
done. Look for what you DO accomplish, not at what you don’t. Team with a
partner who can celebrate with you.

5. Ditch Stuck-it is? Think of folks who have it worse off than you. You will not
need to look far. Tell yourself, “I CAN!” and believe it.

6. Don’t bite off more than you can chew and criticize yourself. Make a list at
the end of the day of what you accomplished. Be realistic. Tomorrow is another
day. Remind yourself every day. Put the NIKE Swoosh somewhere you can
see it. Tell yourself,”Just do it!”

7. Personal responsibility is about loving yourself. Being enough. Not there?
Get some help! Call a friend or get a coach. You are everything you need, but
perhaps you lost where you put it? Write your top 5 signature strengths on funky
paper and plaster it everywhere.

Is that you rummaging around your closet looking for your Values in Action 24
Character Strengths? Way to go! Forgot them? Go http://www.coachingpositivity.com.
You will see them waiting for you in all their glory.

NO excuses! You want to be a winner in getting plans made and goals done, right?

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it. ~ Michelangelo

My Best Friend’s Take: Dreams Really Do Come True

Do you have a best friend who is always the wind beneath your wings?
I do. Her name is Cheryl Lynn Nash. We grew up two houses apart in Harrington, DE.
Below is what she wrote to me about Mom’s move to Cathy and Bill’s home.
Gulps of gratitude. I am incredibly blessed.

Dearest Judy,
I know. I understand. It’s in my paragraph below.
It’s how we truly feel, you and me. It’s real and it’s true.
Feel free to share it in any capacity, because it is about your
Momma’s joy & happiness & well being! Praise the Lord!!!

Just when we thought Louise was in the last Chapter of her life,
one of acceptance & resolve, the final page…Low and behold, a miracle,
we find her story is not yet finished.  More Chapters to come because your Mom,
and Cathy and Bill coming together. At 92 she is still playing ball and on a new team!
How many people ever get to experience this?!

This couldn’t have happened to a better woman.
This is her reward for how she’s lived her life, the kind, sweet, gentle woman
she has always been. Who knew? I am so happy she has Cathy & Bill.
I can only hope when you and I are in our final days, we have the ability to
experience one last hurrah. That’s what they are giving to her.

Cathy is the one that dreamed this dream. Now it’s a reality.
Your Mom is getting stars in her crown for this one!  It’s a win, win!
She’s a natural and her devotion is so real…The kind that cannot be faked.
Louise has a new peace and gobs of smiles left now all because of this.
It’s like we’ve dragged her back into life again. Everyday is a new day for her.
She loves life again! She just never knows how it’s going to go, but she knows
she is loved and protected and will be happy. What joy!!!
Love, Cheryl

Dearest Cheryl,
Soon it will be our turn to sit in a rocking chair. My fervent hope is we will
be rocking along together positively recounting, “Remember when…”
Love you to the rafters always, Judy

Who’s your best pal? Have you told them lately that you love them?
Is that you I hear galloping away?
