Redesign Your Life (Part 4) - "Don't Worry What Others Think!"

                                       

Redesign Your Life (Part 4)

Hi and thank you for joining me for the latest post in the series

This week's piece contains the next insight from the "Ways To Redesign Your Life" project that I am currently working and it is called:– 

"Don't Worry What Others Think!"

In this section I am to provide an insight into something that I feel is very important to all of us……. 

It is a well known fact (at least in the circle of people that I know) that there are often certain folk who will always seek to get you to conform with what they want from you.

By doing this they are (in the truest sense) attempting to control you, to get you to bend to their will and to make you compliant with their ways, thoughts and ideas, irrespective of the consequences.

A long time ago I woke up to this fact because I was led into a situation that had a serious effect on my teenage life (I will not enlighten you what actually happened but suffice to say that the event ended up with me being carted off to the Police Station and having the "Fear of God" instilled in me).  

As a result of those events I was almost (but not quite) landed with a Police Record - and all because I was naive and compliant with the flawed instructions of others.

So it was lesson learned............

Fortunately because of that incident I learned that I could make my own choices and actually I knew the difference between right and wrong.  

As adults I think we all know that every single one of us was born an individual and along with that you are a "free thinker" and that the following applies to us all:-

You have the ability to make your own decisions.  

You do not have to follow the dictates of other people.

You have the ability to make choices.

You are able to make up your own mind

All these exist irrespective of the thoughts of others.

Unfortunately there exists (certainly in the Western World) a culture that is particularly prevalent amongst the younger (and weaker) members of society, that consists of a belief that if they don't conform with the demands of the strong they will be cast out and ignored.

As adults (although some may disagree that I fall into that category) and parents we need to be mindful and guide the younger member of society sometimes gently and respectfully, and explain the distinction between and wrong whilst explaining to them the principle of that "whatever someone thinks of me is none of my business"

Next week we will explore the the topic of "Letting Go Of Fear"

Visions For Success #38 - "The Confident Friend"

Hi it's DAve

Welcome to today’s blog post from Altered Image Coaching....

As we continue the series of "Visions For Success" series I continue to maintain the commitment that I have made to you and also to myself!

That commitment forms part my Mission Statement and it is:-

"I will work to create these vision posts in the continued belief that they will make a difference to the people who read them!"  

So, with that said, here is post #38 which is called:-

The Confident Friend

Here is a list of items that are present and combine to create the person we know as a “Confident Friend” once you understand these points and put them into practice you too can be ranked as one of those people.

Spend your precious time with those you like - do not try to be liked by everyone!

Choose friends from all walks of life -  do not need everyone to be like you!

Be realistic - do not expect everyone to be like you!

Respect and value the differences - do not demand that everyone gets on well

together!

Know who can support you in times of difficulty

Accept that friends can say “no” and do not see that as a total rejection!

Realise that you too have the right to say “no” and to be independent / private

And finally

Be prepared to accept that some may wish to leave the relationship and move on!

Love and Light to you all

Hi and thank you for joining me for this week’s post.

This post will provide you with the next insight into the project I am currently working on that is called:– 

"Ways To Redesign Your Life"

This section continues to provide an insight into something that I feel is very important to all of us……. 

I believe that by becoming goal oriented is a fantastic way to remove some of the uncertainty in life.  Setting goals cannot avoid every issue but they do help you to  work towards making or creating a defined pathway towards your personal success.

If you already make goals in your work / business life then you will already be familiar with this process and transposing that thinking into your personal life should be a relatively simple move to make.

There is a system designed to help you to create meaningful goals that is called S.M.A.R.T.

This acronym covers the following process

S.    A goal must be specific - it is important to write the goal down

M.   Your goal must be measurable - there should be targets   

A.    Your goal must be acheivable

R.    Your goal must be both relevant and realistic

T.     Your goal must be Time Bound

Working with this tried and tested system will definitely change your future, so be aware of this and choose to work towards achieving things that will make you into the person that you seek to be!

So now let us leave it there until next week when we will start to take a look at the next section the topic of which is:-   “Don't worry what others think!”

Thanks

Redesign Your Life (Part 2) - "Life Vision"

   

           Redesign

           Your Life 

             (Part 2)

Hi thank you for joining me for this week’s post.

This post will provide you with the next insight into the project I am currently working on that is called:– 

"Ways To Redesign Your Life"

This section continues to provide an insight into something that I feel is very important to all of us……. 

I believe that it an important element of this work to see your life exactly the way you want it to be.  You can meditate on this, spend quiet time envisioning yourself living the life that you want to achieve.  Note how you walk, stand,talk etc. in your new "self"

Once you begin to see your life the way that you want it to be it opens the way for everything to move in the that direction.

It has been said that if you want your life to change you should seek to see your life in the way that you would have it be.  You should ask yourself this question:-

"What things do I already have that are in line with the way I want my life to be?"

These are the things I can already bring to the table!

However if there are things that are not exactly the way you want them to be right now, it does not mean you are moving in the wrong direction! It simply means that you will need to make a few changes and tweaks.

It is wise to invest in yourself and to always think positive thoughts! By doing this you can nudge yourself to make progress.

What you opt to do right now will definitely change your future, so be aware of this and choose things that will make you into the person that you seek to be!

So now let us leave it there until next week when we will start to take a look at the next section which is “Becoming Goal Oriented”

Thanks
