The theme of the month at DASHA® is “Pushing Boundaries” – perfect for the start of the New Year. We all have dreams we want to make come true, and now is the time to do it!
Don’t make excuses for yourself – we spend so much time worrying about the future, but we can’t predict it. It’s almost never a convenient time to incorporate a major change into your life, but you know the old expression, if it’s important to you, you make the time.
Here are our tips on how to create the space in your life to push those boundaries on to your next level of greatness:
Get a friend to hop on your bandwagon. Tell a friend about your goal and get him or her to hold you accountable. This could mean that you speak or meet once or twice a month and develop a list of actionable items for you to put into motion and report back on.
Start small and build from there. Don’t create an insurmountable list of tasks for yourself. Start small and enjoy the process and progress of ticking things off of your to do list. Maybe you sign up for a class you need to get new training or go back to school. Maybe one day you purchase a domain name for your new business and the next day ask a graphic designer friend to meet you for coffee to brainstorm logo ideas. The phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day” exists for a reason.
Recognize that failures along the way are part of the process. Things you think will be easy might be hard; things you think might be hard will be easy. You will have good days and bad days, delays and frustrations. It’s okay and you will learn. Your discoveries may take you down a different path you would have otherwise never discovered. Failures will fuel your passion and help you move forward to the next level.
Create a vision board. It doesn’t have to be big, but your vision of where you want to be can be like your private altar – keep it near your desk and meditate on the ultimate goal.
Keep negative people at bay. Some people are not good at change and view the world negatively. Don’t spend time with these people. They are probably just jealous you have the guts to make change happen in your life. Everything starts with a belief in yourself and what you can do – don’t let anyone else deter you.
Celebrate your change. If you want to lose weight – maybe you schedule a celebratory milestone with your family when you reach that first 25 pounds. If you finish a class, schedule a celebratory dinner after the exam. When you are proud of what you accomplish and share it with those you love, they can better support you, and you’ll be in a better position to return the love all the more when they make changes in their own lives.
