Whenever I begin a task, I take time to make an action plan, and then I jump right in. My plan brings me the confidence to forge ahead, knowing that I deserve great success.
When creating my plan, I divide the task into small, attainable actions. This gives me step-by-step instructions of what to do from beginning to end. When I complete the simplest of tasks first, I build a powerful forward momentum.
Even though I know my plan is sound, I don’t set it in stone. If circumstances change, I adapt with ease. Changing course from time to time is okay, just as long as I am still moving toward my goal.
I have the tools and techniques that I can use to relieve stress in times of challenge, bring confidence in times of doubt, and energize me if my motivation wanes.
When obstacles arise, I take them in stride. If I’m feeling stressed, I simply take a moment to breathe deeply. Deep breathing relaxes my body and gives my mind a surge of oxygen to help clarify my thoughts.
If doubt creeps in, I use positive self-talk and affirmations to replace any negative thoughts I may have. This renews my confidence in my abilities.
To keep my energy at its best, I eat right, exercise, get enough rest, and take time to rejuvenate my spirit with meditation and prayer.
My step-by-step action plan empowers me to overcome any challenge and accomplish any task.
Today, I choose to tackle my tasks with renewed energy and confidence. With my action plan and set of valuable tools, I can take swift action toward success.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What tasks am I delaying?
2. Have I written an action plan?
3. How do my tools and techniques help me accomplish my tasks?
However, do you sometimes find you still struggle with taking action? As business owners, moms, wives, sisters, friends, we often find that we are the lifter and motivator of others and I find that I get the “get it done” attitude but who motivates and inspires you?
