Focus
on Your Achievements
Do you often
think about what you still have to do each day? Does this feel overwhelming?
Does there always seem so much to do that you don't feel as if you're achieving
enough?
We've found that
when we start coaching people, either in business or personally, many of
them focus on what still needs to be done. They seem to forget or discard
all that they have achieved. When you get to the end of your day are you
still thinking about what you haven't done? Perhaps there are some days
when you accomplish a lot and you feel as if you've achieved something
- that's a great feeling isn't it?
How do you feel
about the other days when you believe you haven't done enough? When we
focus on what we haven't completed we're highlighting our weaknesses. Focusing
on our strengths is a much more positive approach. In what ways can you
focus on your strengths?
We suggest that
you create for yourself an achievement journal. In this, you write each
day about all the things you've achieved. Grab the opportunity to say "well
done" to yourself. The journal may be a pleasant notebook or a document
on your computer where you cut and paste items completed from your schedule
- or even a loose piece of paper. You can either list them all or choose
three. We really encourage you to make time each day to list your achievements.
You're worth it.
