How I did it
How to develop my own style
It took me
8 months
It made me
Satisfied

How I did it: Actually this goal is just a subset of many other goals on my list.  The truth is I have always had my own style, I just forgot that I did.  I wear what I like, and this goal did get me to try new fashions and go for bright colors.Once I stopped caring what people thought of how I dressed, I realized that style is just a personal statement.  I have paid more attention to how other people dress, and realize that there are no… Read how I did it…

How to stop interrupting people
It took me
5 years
It made me
A better listener

How I did it: This took time for me because my family interrupts each other and I didn't realize how much of a habit this way for me.  I started at work by letting people finish and listening far more than I spoke.  Then I worked on breaking this habit with friends.   What I discovered about myself is when I am emotionally involved in a topic I am more likely to interrupt someone.I practice active listening.  Sometimes it is di… Read how I did it…

How to renew my passport
It took me
16 months
It made me
Free!!

How I did it: This should have been a very easy goal to complete - find old passport, get photo taken, complete application, pay fees.  So how did it take me 16 months to accomplish?  I couldn't find my old passport for a while.  Then I kept waiting until my hair looked good for the photo.  Then I procrastinated because the library wasn't open.  This goal should have taken 16 days in reality.Regardless, once I submitted my appl… Read how I did it…

More Tony Robbins

I am listening to a video on YouTube and Tony Robbins asks what is one thing you want to change about your life? All I have to do is look at my goals to find one:

My self confidence.

Then he asks, “What are the rituals that have shaped your current condition?” There are usually a bunch of small things that you do that keeps you in this place. For me, I think about how people may react to me, instead of focusing on other things. I worry about what they might think. Or I start doubting myself.

What do you want?
To have awesome self confidence!

What are the rituals that will get me there? Stop thinking about what people are going to think. Focus on how I feel and how it feels good to be confident. Focus on how I am a quick study and I enjoy learning new things. Focus on how many times I have succeeded in life and how many challenges I have overcome. I need to focus on success stories, not failures – especially imagined failures.

He also mentions, there are only 2 pains in life:

There is the pain of discipline, and the pain of regret. This helps…

Get back into training, eating, thinking and behaving like the athlete I AM (read all 5 entries…)
It is all in the thinking...

so I need to get my head on correctly and start THINKING like an athlete. I need some visualizations about who I am. For now BRAN is out of the question because of my sick cat who I don’t feel comfortable leaving for a week. I am OK with that because he needs care and the logisitics for BRAN were getting complicated. There will be other rides once I get things sorted out.
