10 Suggested Things To Give Up!

                                       Hi it's Dave 

Thank you for joining me here on this week's Altered Image Coaching blog.  I don't know about you but I feel as if I have hardly had time to turn round and yet here we are, almost in the middle of April.

The other day I was thinking about writing this post and wondering what I could do that had the potential to help people make changes to their lives that would lead towards building a better, less stressed life!

So after a day or so of considering I have created a list of points that have the potential to help you improve your life on a day to day basis.

So without further chatter let's simply "dive right in!" as they say:-

You could 

a) Give Up Complaining - yes I know that there are times when you buy something and less than 24 hours later it has failed (there is a justifiable complaint). However, I am not talking about those times,I am talking about the "every day" complaints such as "I am cold!" or "That shop never stocks what I want!" or "these jeans don't fit me properly" - each one of those has a solution if you think about it!

b) Stop Blaming Others - All too easy to do..... you know the scenario, "Jean did that!" or "Tony told me to do that and that is why it went wrong"  Instead you could adopt an attitude of "well that didn't work so maybe I did something not quite right, let's try it again but see if we can find out what we can do to make it work"

c) Drop The Limiting Beliefs - A limiting belief is a false belief that someone holds true which is based on incorrect conclusions about themselves.  Such beliefs can limit, distress or hurt us.

d) Stop Negative Self Talk - this is simply the language that you use when you talk to yourself that is unkind, untrue or not helpful.

e) Switch Away From Dwelling In The Past - there is a well-used phrase that is so true!  It reads "all of life happens in the present!" The past is done, no matter what happens we cannot change it so why do so many of us keep on living there?  We really need to concentrate on the "now" because that is the place where all of the memories are made!

f) Stop Resisting Change- resistance consists of the actions you take when something happens in your environment that you perceive will have a detrimental effect on your life. Instead of resisting the change consider the ways that such change could benefit you as you move forwards.

g) Eliminate The Need To Impress Others - going back a long time a good friend said to me "There is No Such Thing as a Need! Everything in life is a want!" 

The comment arose because I had said that I needed a new lens for my camera.  Later on I said again that I did need it and he responded "No! You don't need it, you want it!  Prior to today you have taken perfectly good photographs, all the ones you have submitted have been accepted, so I repeat - you don't need the lens, you want it!"

h) Drop The Need To Always Be Right - People who always need to be right have a tendency towards fragile egos.  When they feel that their self-image has been threatened, they want to make themselves look bigger or smarter.  As a result they have a tendency to blame others. This is a coping mechanism to deal with insecurity!

An 8 - Step Plan (for Success)

Hi and thank you very much for joining me on this weeks blog post it is called :-

An 8-step Plan because it really is a plan for success. As you are most likely aware success can take many different guises so I will leave you to interpret what success means for you.

So now let us look at:- 

The 8 Steps to Planning For Success

Step 1 - Download Your To-Do Items

This is a little offspring from a mind dump.  It consists of simply writing down all of your to dos, things that you are putting off for a later day.

Step 2 - Important or Urgent?

When listing your to-do’s you simply need to set them into priority order. Are they urgent or are they important?

Something that is urgent makes you think it is important even if it is not! 

For Example:- A phone call / a text / the doorbell all of these items are probably urgent but are they always important? - probably not!

So plan your time in order of importance beginning with the most important things you have to do.

Step 3 - Schedule Your To-Do Items 

At this point start to write your to-do list onto your calendar. Be focused on your goals and determine the results that you want to produce.

Step 4 - Downtime Planning

Make sure that you write down all the firm things on your schedule!  For example,  social activities, sleep time, meal times.

If it is on your schedule then it has to happen so remember to schedule breaks as well!

Step 5 - Don’t Give Yourself Too Much Time

For example, there is a natural law that says “if you allow yourself five hours to do something it will take you five hours to do” and if you give yourself an hour it will take an hour!

It is surprising how much you can accomplish in a short time

This was ultimately named Parkinson‘s Law  which was reworded to  “work will expand to fill the time available for its completion“

Step 6 - Plan Your Day (based on your energy levels)

Simply this means you should aim to do the most time-consuming task when you are in “prime time”!

If your mornings are when you are at your most creative or inspired, then you can use this time for your most creative work – avoid wasting your time with social media and you will really see your productivity increase!

Step 7 - Plan Your Time!

Plan your day in advance, because if you try to plan in the moment your brain will not feel like it wants to do whatever you have planned. So sit down and plan your day in advance

If you plan ahead you will always know what you should be doing at any given moment

Step 8 - What Are Your Top Three?

You should always select your top three tasks when you are planning your next days schedule – if you complete these tasks you will be satisfied with your day but beware do not schedule more than three important tasks for each day.
