Has Procrastination Kept YOU Stuck? 2 Tips to Get You Unstuck

 

Procrastination is a career buster!

This article contains two tips to get you unstuck.

Procrastination can keep us from advancing in our careers.

We all know this, but we sometimes think and plan too much. And the opportunity disappears.

Joyce’s Story How She Got Unstuck

See if this sounds familiar to you – “Should I or shouldn’t I? If I do this, that might happen, but if I do that, this could happen.”
Those words kept me up for several nights until I figured it out.

I wanted to take my show Kick Conflict to the Curb and make it a LIVE Broadcast. Instead, I thought about things that could go wrong.  I kept procrastinating and only recorded interviews with thought-leaders. The next step was placing these interviews on social media. I felt stuck and couldn’t make the first move to learn how to go LIVE.

I decided that it was time to take the plunge. The next interview was going live! But, of course, there were technical issues, and I still needed to record the video without going LIVE. The great news is that after making a few more mistakes going LIVE, this communication coach finally gets it! 🙂

These Two Tips Will Help You Get Unstuck.

 

Tip One: Look for Several Options to Get You Unstuck

Ask people you know who succeeded in a project you want to pursue. They have faced similar feelings of doubt. Listen to their stories. This may stop you from doubting yourself.  Permit yourself to move on.

A massive shout out to  Trish Jenkins, TV Host, Speaker, and Author, for helping me along the way! She told me that doing a LIVE Broadcast is a game changer. She is right! I love producing my new show, Kick Conflict to the Curb, where I interview brilliant leaders on how they reduced their conflict and stress.

Tip Two: Take One Small Step to Get You Unstuck

Have you reached out to former clients who enjoyed working with you? Do you feel stuck and wonder if this will be too pushy? Your one action might be to call one of your past clients. Schedule this phone call with the client through email or text. This phone call could be your first step to continue building a solid relationship with your past client. And, remind him or her about how much you enjoyed working together. Catch up for a few minutes, and then ask if there is interest in you sharing your new services (in a non-selling way!) 🙂 

I’m doing this and need to say one thing: A phone call with a former client is a great way to close a sale! It works. Plus, it’s so much fun catching up with each other.

A Video About How to Overcome Your Imposter Syndrome

The Imposter Syndrome is something we ALL share at certain times in our life. Yes, even the confident people who you know. 

The following two questions are indications that your Imposter Syndrome is seeping into your mind :

  1. Do I have what it takes to succeed?
  2. Why do I keep comparing myself to others?

Video About Imposter Syndrome

You’ll learn how Lisa, an HR Professional, overcame her Imposter Syndrome after watching this short video. Lisa sends her direct reports to me for communication coaching or how to improve relationships and resolve conflict issues at work. Watch how self-doubt was getting to Lisa and causing inner stress. Especially when she was the only female in the office. Her team constantly used sarcasm and discounted Lisa’s decisions. Stress was starting to take a toll on her physically and emotionally.

Speaking Up is Risky Business!

risky

It’s always risky to voice a different opinion during conversations.

I used to hold on to my thoughts because I didn’t want to rock the boat.

And I finally figured this out. It’s great being a contrarian. People notice, especially when I’m the only one with a different slant.

Others who know me only see how I am now. I was not always known as the Queen of Conflict Resolution!

It’s all about being true to yourself and showing your authenticity!

This isn’t always easy. Remember, it’s risky to take a stand for many people. Especially when others are set in their ways. And have no room for opposite beliefs. 

Let’s fast forward many years later. I now coach others to feel comfortable using their voices. Even with bullies and tough conversations. Speaking up is also freeing – you feel more confident about yourself. And, it’s rewarding to see the transformation in clients.  If I can do this, believe me, anyone can.

It’s now your turn to enter this conversation 🙂

How did you change from not using your voice to standing up with a contrarian point of view?

I encourage you to send me a private email if you have a question on how to stand up for something that’s important to you. You are my loyal readers, and I’m always here for you. 🙂

4 Reasons Why Practicing Self-Care is Important | Part 4

Do you know why self-care is important in your life?

Are you ready to stomp out your stress NOW?

This is the 4th article in the series “Self-Care is Important.”

You’ll find the links to the rest of the series at the end of the article.

This week you’ll discover easy ways to start treating yourself better. You heard me right! Most people don’t make time for themselves. And yes, it’s very dangerous for your physical and mental health if you don’t.

Full disclosure here! I’m guilty as charged. And finally learned how easy it is – once we make a few changes in our routine.

What’s the Deal About Why Self-Care is Important

Putting “me time” on the back burner is a big part of why we feel run-down and overwhelmed. Additionally, self-care helps us sharpen our mental and physical health. It keeps us healthy and happy. 

When we take care of ourselves, we are better at staying focused with those special people in our lives.

I recommend that we take time every day to do something for ourselves.  You’ll find out how I do this further in this article.

Essential Oils Help Us Perk Up or Relax self-care is important

Why in the world am I talking about essential oils? Humans have used aromatherapy for centuries. 

Rosemary can help some people boost their memory. Plus it relaxes me when I mix rosemary and lavender in a diffuser.

Eucalyptus and peppermint are my best friends when I need to write blogs or my social networking posts. I feel perkier and sharper when these essential oils are sending their aroma throughout my office. 

We need to be careful because some people don’t like aromas. Especially if they are allergic. 

Mindfulness is HOT and is Part of Why Self-Care is Important

It’s all about focusing on the present – without judging how we feel and think. This can be liberating. 

There are many apps that are free for you to try. I recently purchased the “inner balance” program. This app has helped me calm my busy mind right before bed. It really works. It took me a long time to finally get on the mindfulness train. Hopefully, you already know of its power.

Music and the Importance of Self-Care 

There are some people who don’t find music appealing. And they only want silence. That’s just fine.

Others can’t exist without music playing at home or work.

Music has always been part of my life. Rock and Roll is playing during the day while I walk or cook. Enya or spa music helps me unwind before I start counting sheep. 🙂

Start experimenting by listening to different artists. Find out from younger people who the top artists are and you may be surprised at how much their voice affects you.

Joyce, Tell Us Why Self-Care is Important to You self-care is important

I’m glad you asked. 🙂

I plan my day by putting only the important tasks on my calendar. First, I created a list of goals and what tasks need to be finished in order to reach these goals.

The great news is every day when I complete the tasks, I celebrate by rewarding myself.

It used to be food. I stopped that once the weight started climbing. 

Now there’s a celebration list that I created. Organizing my basement and decluttering my home is on my list.

Everyone has different ideas to put on their calendar.

Walking or bike riding isn’t on the list because exercise and movement are part of my daily routine.

Laughter is on the list. I call a friend who I know makes me smile. This is on my celebration list when I’m ready for self-care or after I complete all the daily tasks on my calendar.
