Here’s information that will help better understand what your emotions are telling you. I'll try to remember that the next time - since my WaKe Up Eager Life depends on it! The Emotional Guidance Scale: Hold off if you feel unsure, worry or dread. How you feel can guide you toward or away from what's the best match for you. On the other hand, if you’re feeling - “Oh No! I'm not sure about that.” chances are good it's either not the right action or the right timing. Opportunity, or some new information comes your way, and you think and feel – “Yes! That sounds great” - then chances are good that that action is a good one for you. Re-remembered this important self motivation technique about my own Guidance after that meeting. There is no one right way, there is only the way that best serves your intentions at that time. There are so many people with so many different preferences and intentions and backgrounds. Someone else may offer great answers, but those answers are right for them. We get scattered when we put other's advice and guidance, ahead of our own Guidance.
The more people we ask the more variety in answers we receive, and the more confused and time-scattered we get as we move further and further from our own "knowing". Instead of tuning into what feels 'right' we run from thing to thing, from person to person, asking, “What do YOU think is best? This way? Or this way?” I see professionals ignoring their own Guidance often. But, staying true to my own knowing (Guidance) it is a life lesson that I continue to grasp. And re-learning to pay attention to my 'Guidance' through this minor situation is a whole lot better than having to experience a big 'hairy situation' to learn it. Going to a boring meeting is really no big deal in the big scheme of things in my life. But because I wanted to ‘be nice,’ I ignored my feelings. I’d received 'Guidance' - through how I felt and thought about this type of meeting - during that the first phone call and special invitation.īased on my past experience, and my future intentions, I could FEEL my own energy drain and lack of real interest as soon as he made the invitation. This self motivation technique is all about the gift of Guidance. I can still applaud this very nice person, and his passion around what he’s developing, even if participation’s In order for me to choose what’s best for me. Thank goodness I had sense enough to stop my run-away-train thoughts and remind myself that I don’t have to make other people's preferences wrong Temptation to mentally list and rehearse all the reasons why this group was not where I wanted to What a surprise! (She says as she mocks herself for ignoring an important self motivation technique that she's knows always works.) The Self Motivation Technique I Ignored.Īll day, after that meeting, I had to resist the The content, nor the intentions of the attendees, were a fit for me or my business. But honestly while it was all very nice, I found it boring. It turned out that it was a very nice meeting, in a very nice private business club, with very nice people. Up early and sitting in traffic all to go to a meeting that I did have to or want to attend! I live Atlanta, GA where traffic jams are a normal part of everyday travel. meeting to get ready, walk the dog and get out the door in time to miss traffic. He’d customized the message and was so darn friendly that I didn’t have the heart to cancel. That I would “be happy to attend” as I consciously ignored my own inner thoughts and feelings of low interest and dread.Ī day before the meeting I received a “Courtesy Touch” email from this very nice person reminding me about it. I listened and feigned interest because he was so sincere and obviously passionate about what he's doing. He was gracious, interested and interesting as he described how the Association he developed helps consultants build and expand theirīusinesses.
