I’m thrilled to invite an incredible coach on the blog to share her tips for how you can work towards success and get unstuck – in any area of your life. Gena Anderson is a Certified Career and Leadership Coach. She helps high-achieving women successfully pivot to a second-act career. If you find yourself stuck, overwhelmed, or not sure which step to take next – you’ll find Gena’s techniques invaluable. She also joined me on the MWM Podcast where she dives further into how why what we think has so much power in what we end up being able to do (or not do). I know you’ll love learning from Gena!
While it’s common to feel overwhelmed and stressed, the good news is that we do have control over our success! It starts with our thoughts.
Our thoughts are incredibly powerful.
When faced with a challenge, we usually think it is something outside of ourselves (not enough time, money, energy, talent, etc.) standing in the way of our success.
The secret to getting the results you want starts with your thinking.
YOUR THOUGHTS Produce YOUR FEELINGS
YOUR FEELINGS Fuel YOUR ACTIONS
YOUR ACTIONS Create YOUR RESULTS
How to Work Towards Success
You are 100% in control of your THOUGHTS so you are 100% in control of your ACTIONS and therefore you create your RESULTS. Your thoughts, feelings, and actions can either propel you forward or hold you back.
For example, when you believe you are powerful, creative, and capable, you might feel calm and confident. As a result, you are more likely to challenge and stretch yourself.
Or, if you believe you are limited and powerless to change, you might feel worried, angry, or afraid. As a result, you stay stuck in your comfort zone.
You get to CHOOSE your thoughts.
Therefore, when you change the way you think, you’ll take the steps you need to take, and these actions will lead to the results you want to achieve.
3 SIMPLE STEPS THAT LEAD TO MORE POWERFUL RESULTS
STEP 1: AWARENESS
Notice and observe your thoughts without judgment.
STEP 2: CURIOSITY
Get curious about the stories you tell yourself.
Simply ask yourself, “Does this thought serve me?”.
STEP 3: CHOICE
When you are more AWARE and CURIOUS about your thoughts and feelings, you can CHOOSE the thoughts that serve you best at that moment instead of letting old habitual thoughts and behaviors continue to run your life.
