Last week was very exciting! I moved my
existing business RealChai into brand spanking shiny new pink premises. I think
it’s quite possibly the world’s ONLY pink factory!!
We worked 14 hrs days to make it happen and
I’ve been working weekends and nights for the past month on renovations. Sounds
like a pretty decent reason for not being in touch right?
Wrong.
We’re all friends now so, let’s be really,
really, really honest.
At the end of the day it’s not because I
was stupidly busy (even though I was) it’s because… I chose not to make it
happen.
Yehuh. It was a choice.
You see 99% of the time the “reasons” we
don’t do things are actually excuses. When you break it down we choose to do other
things. Ouch! I know. But it’s true.
If you’ve ever found yourself not being
able to get sh*t done I know what you’re probably thinking right now… “Yes
but…. MY situation really is different. I really don’t have enough time, money,
skills etc.”
If this is you it’s time to step away from
the excuses. It’s time for a little tough love. Excuses keep you stuck peeps.
They are not your friend. They might make you feel temporarily better about why
you didn’t get something done but they wont get you where you want to go.
This is why I felt the need to fess up. By sharing my perfectly valid reason (ahem
excuse) I am hoping you might call BS on something that has been getting in
your way lately.
The cool thing is when you call it like it
is, a choice, you can do something about it.
You can look beyond your external
circumstances (whatever they may be) and ask yourself more helpful questions
like, what’s really getting in the way and what can I do differently.
For me the truth is I’ve been operating
without a plan. No concrete goals and no
realistic timeframes. Nothing is scheduled so of course things are getting
bumped. Not because I have no time but because I haven’t planned properly.
So instead of saying I’m toooooo busy I've asked myself what needs to be done, how much time will it take, when I can I fit
it in, what can I let go of and who/what do I need to help make it happen. Now I can move forward.
Is there something you can look at a little
differently this week? Take the power
back baby and kick those excuses to the curb.
Happy Hump Day
Big Love
