ACHIEVE: THE VALUE IS IN THE PROCESS!

8.17-RSG Website - Machu Pichu



Are you making those New Year's Resolutions?  I'M NOT!...

Being the former Type A personality, I used to make my New Year's
 Resolutions every year...usually, after a short period of time (I once made it to 6 months!), I break the resolutions.  This usually results in me feeling like a failure or a complete fool...Well, NO MORE!

For 2017, I'm setting Intentions instead...

Launching my business, writing my first book, developing live webinars and eCourses are some of the things I’d like to complete this year.   In addition, I want to eat less meat, dairy, wheat, and sugar…no more cookie breaks! 1.5-emoji.tears-flow-emoticon.jpg  I also want to consistently make time for my daily workouts…(so I don’t get SO irritated with my teenager!)   Last but not least, I'm going to network more, make new connections as well as strengthen and nurture my current relationships.  (While my pups are wonderful company, I need to have REAL conversations!)

"What happened to being 'balanced' and not stressing out this year?" 

My partner thinks that I'm insane…and I’m sure you probably think he’s right.   He is a rational and reasonable guy and when he suggests that I  “ease up” or take some  things off of my list, I actually think about it...for a minute...

But, not this time...


WHY?


Because…I finally got it...THE VALUE IS IN THE PROCESS…

Here's how I shifted my perspective... 

When my mother passed in 2014, I was devastated.  I had a hard time moving pass the grief and found myself stuck in my memories and sadness.  I wanted to escape home during the holidays and dragged my family across the seas to Chiang Mai, Thailand to distract myself from my miserable state.  But because there is a higher power, I found myself in front of a Thai Monk who helped me understand that attaching myself to the end result would most always lead to sadness and disappointment.  And it was true…focusing on the fact that my mother was gone was definitely detrimental.  But focusing on the time I had with her help me get back the joy in our relationship!  And that was what is most important.


So, I'm going in 2017 knowing that I might not get all those things done on my list.  Realistically, I'm gonna eat dessert and be a couch potato some days.  I may only finish 3 out of the 4 things I want to do for my business.  And, that's okay...

For 2017,
I will make a conscious effort to NOT get attached to the outcomes.  This has happened too many times in the past and I'm NOT getting stuck this year!  (Besides, Game of Thrones doesn't come on until the Fall...)

Instead, I’m going to focus on the building my skills and getting new experiences.  I'm looking for those "A HA" moments.  I’ll be in constant learning mode and keep moving forward with my vision one step at a time…

And this year, I won't feel like giving up because I'll already be getting the VALUE OF THE PROCESS!


 

Sound good?  WHO’S WITH ME?  What are YOUR Intentions for 2017?

 

I’d love to hear about your progress for this year!  Sign up on my email list and be part of our community! 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Allie
