Values into Action

This post is for all my incredible colleagues out in the field who bring insights and "value" to the medical community. I know so many of you that do this with great honesty and integrity - this post is for you.

Defining our values and then doing the small amount of work to breathe life into them each day will help put meaning and depth into your days, into your work and into your life.

Defining what your core values are (see my website for an exercise http://www.focusedenergy.biz/ , click on Share, then Energy Shifters and you will see it at the bottom) is the first step in the process. Breathing life into them is the next critical step. Without the follow through, they are words on page, mostly meaningless and flat.

Action Steps to Breathe life into your Values:

1) Take your values and put them into action form

example: If one of your Values is INTEGRITY, ask yourself what living with integrity actually looks like from an action standpoint. Living with integrity can mean "I walk my talk" or "I always do the right thing". Another one of your values might be HONESTY, in action form this might look like "speaking my truth in all that I do" or "Being open and and straightforward in all my communications"

So take your core values and state them in action form.

2) Put them somewhere to keep them top of mind and take 1 minute to review and reflect each day before you begin your day.

Create a list of your values in action. Print them off and place them in a Personal Growth Binder (highly recommend one of these for everyone!). Or input your list on an electronic device - IPHONE, Blackberry, IPAD etc. or write it out in a journal that you keep with you on hand.

Repetition, review and reflection is the key to success to bringing these values to life and have them then influence and guide your daily actions and intentions.

The next time you get thrown off course in your day by a difficult customer, relect on your values and get back on track with what matters most!

Thinking of you on this day...

Shift Resentments and Get back on Track!

There are no justified resentments! Read these words this morning by Dr Wayne Dyer and they reminded me of something I learned at recent seminar.

Resentments keep our goals and life from moving forward!

Resentments create a mindset that takes our focus and energy off what really matters in life. Whenever you stay stuck in a resentment, large or small, you are handing over the controls of your life, your goals, your dreams to others to control and manipulate!

This is big!! Whenever you feel off track, like your life and goals are not moving forward; ask yourself what resentments, upsets or sadness you are holding onto. You might still be holding onto a negative remark someone made to you earlier in the day or a car that cut you off in traffic.

Action: When something large or small, upsets you, stop, notice and then intentionally shift the resentment. Repeat these words to help.

"There are no justified resentments, I choose my mindset and I control the course of my life"

Stay in your Greatness

Bringing your Goals to Life!

Setting and creating goals is amazing and if you have already done this, Great! But it is not enough.

Intention and Review is the key to bringing these goals to life.

Intention: Create the intention to review your goals weekly, at least! Make an appointment with yourself each week. I make mine for Monday mornings at 6am. After I wake, exercise and read, I review my goals!

We book everything else into our lives and these move forward and then we wonder why our goals do not. Your goals and dreams are too important not to create intentional time and space for each week into your agendas and into your days. Figure out what time will work and book it today. Set an alarm on it as well!

Review: It is said that repetition is the key to success; I agree. You cannot review your goals often enough. If we do not review them, other things and other people's goals and dreams will get in your way. Carry them around, review them at every opportunity. Bring them to life!

Try this today: Create a goal and over the next month set an intention to review your goal each week at a certain time. See what happens.

None of what I say is rocket science! All of it is simple and it can be easy.

Create some intention and then review; make this the year you bring your goals to life!
