Signature Talk: Inspired Intentions
Are you tired of never fulfilling your intentions long term? It’s not your fault. You have never been given a process. Learn how to create awareness by reflecting on your life accounts, develop clarity by crafting a vision, and build confidence by removing the first domino and aligning the next two.
Assess Your Life Accounts
- How do we define a life account?
- The drift can be a powerful place to be because life is made up of seasons
- We are all juggling five balls and there is no reason to let any of them drop
- All of us are struggling in at least one of our life accounts:
- Identify which account needs attention
- Identify which account is getting in your way
- Exhibit self-compassion.
“Every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else.”
— Greg McKeown
Create a Vision
- Outcomes/quarterly goals
- What do you really want?
- Think about what you hope to achieve 3-6 months from today. This will naturally create a sense of urgency and enough time to see progress.
- Why/reason(s)
- How will your life be different?
- The WHY is the nucleus when great things happen.
- Identity
- What type of person will you become?
- Live the life you were meant to live.
Start the Domino Effect
- Doing less of the one thing that always gets in your way (removing).
- Lower your initial expectations and don’t plug in too much (adding).
