Are you heading down a path that leaves you feeling less than enthusiastic? If so, it’s time to rethink the future. As adults, we can get stuck in routines that quickly become grinds. And it’s no wonder. Sis, you’re on the heels of a pandemic, fighting societal challenges, living up to life’s responsibilities, and still bringing home the bacon as inflation rises. So, where are you supposed to find time to do what you love?
Well, it may not feel like it, but the time for a transformation is now. At The I’m Loving Me Project, we aim to help women live life on purpose.
Break Free From Self-Imposed Limitations
We’ve all heard that growing up is a “trap.” The real trap is how we allow our thinking patterns to change as we age. Think back to when you were a kid. Do you recall some of the things you wanted to be or do when you grew up? Whether you were reaching for the stars and planning to be the first female president or about to change the course of history and invent time travel, you had big dreams. The words “no” and “impossible” didn’t hold you back from these grand visions.
However, as we age, we begin to place limits on our capabilities. We worry about every decision we make and agonize over the possible negative outcomes. In turn, the “what ifs” and fear of the unknown can hold us back – in life and business. But this thinking is like putting shackles on your future. According to one study, over 90% of what we worry could happen never actually does.
Cultivate a Positive Mindset
So, it is time to break free from the shackles and change the way you think. First, give yourself permission to focus on yourself and what you dream to achieve. Your dreams may not be what they were in your childhood, but that doesn’t mean they should be any less significant. Give yourself permission to set or refocus on the big goals.
Once your goals are flushed out, put your worries to rest. Challenge yourself to think rationally about those “what ifs.” Generally, worry is a form of preparation to stop bad things from happening. But, if you give yourself a chance to work through the worry, you will arm yourself with the tools to succeed. You will see opportunities and come up with alternative courses of action to still help you achieve your goals.
Embrace Your True Potential
Now comes the fun part; it’s time to develop those goals. Start a checklist to turn those worries into productive actions that lead to success. It may sound basic, but a checklist is like a roadmap. This is a series of small accomplishments that eventually lead to the attainment of your goal. Along the way, prepare for missteps. Hiccups happen to all of us. How we respond to those challenging moments is pivotal. So, arm yourself with a mantra or words of affirmation that you can recite when the going gets tough. You have to be your own cheerleader to succeed in life, to have the confidence to keep pushing forward.
This is your life story – make it a good one. When you look beyond your daily “must-do” list and instead focus on the milestones that help you achieve your goals, you’ll begin to experience a more meaningful presence. You have a purpose in this world, and there’s a sisterhood that wants to help you find it.
