Reclaiming Success
Reclaiming a success habit never felt so good!
Last year, I worked with clients all over the world - from central Europe, through the Caribbean, and landing with Asia and Australia to close out the night.
Sometimes my day went from 4am to 10:30pm. At first, I felt thrilled to embark on an adventure like this during the great pandemic. Then, fantasies filled my mind of days where I could wake up without an alarm or the pressure of predawn sessions where I had to be “on.”
I stopped saying yes to growth and opportunities and…I got what I asked for. Days that started at 8:30. No alarm required since the indigenous blood in me can’t stand sleeping in when the sun’s out.
A weird thing started to happen though. I’d begun to feel “lazy.” Knowing I had things to do, I lacked the motivation to get them done.
I started calling my dad to help me pray for the will to deliver on my commitments. The third time I called …..he pointed out I’d formed a habit. My dad asked me to look around, who was I hanging around with, what was I listening to?
That’s when it hit me - my Power Hour was gone. I no longer declared my day and meditation was shoved between protein shake breakfast and five minute showers. My evening power down routine was also gone. My day held no intention.
So, I started waking up at five am again. Water, tea, meditation, workout, gratitude, and declaration before the day really started. It feels good. I feel solid. And even better, my work is crisp, clean, and deeply satisfying again.
I was able to catch this quickly because I had accountability. My father has seen my drive throughout my life, and hearing me say I didn’t want to work was as if an alien captured and replaced me.
Not all people have accountability partners like mine. If that’s the case, having a strong coach will support you in creating the life you want. To see the effects of coaching, you can book a clarity session with me and get a new level of focus and understanding of your goals, the obstacles in the way of them, and do some true gold digging on the deeper meaning behind it all.
