Stuck or flowing? 

What are the key questions for you right now?

What gets you unstuck?  

....... Time on your own,  talking with a trusted confidante, reflecting, journaling, setting out ways forward, setting a goal with a timescale,  taking a walk, analysing the problem, taking action, taking yourself to a new place.  We are all wonderfully individual and you are the expert on you.

Take a step forward today, head in the right direction.....

Future or fear?

Fear stops us from doing so much, the tape in our head...."this could be dangerous, uncomfortable, difficult, may not work, cause me even more stress, I don't have time, it wont work anyway, I've tried it before, what's the point, they wont like me, I'll look stupid, it wont happen to me, I have responsibilites"?

Familiar messages that might play in your head?

Sometimes stopping and thinking for a few short moments about what we want and not letting fear stand before us ( looming TALL!) is a good idea.

What do you want your future to look like?

What today do you want to be part of your future? 

Where is fear getting in the way?  When was the last time you went ahead took courage in your hands and did something you were fearful of and it had a good result! 

Remind yourself today of all the skills you have, of everything you are good at. 

Remind yourself today of achievements you are proud of.

Remind yourself of  the future you want.

When we get clear about what we want, it's the first step on the path to making it happen.

What if?

What if ...... it was easier than I thought

What if ........ in one conversation it was better and in two it was resolved

What if ..... I felt more confident

What if ...... I felt less stressed

What if ..... I was doing things the way I felt I was born to do them

What if ...... work became easier

What if ..... people around me were inspired and noticed a difference in me

What if ......... those things I wanted to get around to doing, I was achieving regularily

What if ......... things that were once hard to say,  become "comfortable" and actually releasing

What if  ....... I  could see I was on a path to fulfillment and satisfaction 

If it was easier, quicker more possible than you thought - would you  be taking action?

I know I can put obstacles in my way, stop progress, procrastinate on things I really want in life as sometimes my eyes are on the obstacles, the difficulties - not the potential and not always the possibilities! 

Then when its done or achieved - I think why didn't I do that earlier?  A client said to me the other week I'm learning to "reduce the dither time"

So - What is your What if  ? - you do know what to do ....... ( to reduce the dither time!!)
