Seriously! I love being part of a company that asks us to do things like this: Think about the different roles you have in life and jot down your most important 5-7 of them. For example, they could be: Wife, Husband, Parent, Coach, Leader, Volunteer. Not only does this help you think of the markets you want to target (like minded people), but also allows you to prioritize your time. Knowing clearly what your primary roles are empowers you to be able to say no to the distractions and the requests that are asked of you on a regular basis. Do any of you feel like you are constantly bombarded with requests that make you feel overwhelmed and out of energy? Maybe you are saying “yes” to too many things that are taking you away from your most important roles. Here is a little assignment that will help you with this challenge. 1. Identify the 5-7 roles that you play and list them below. 2. On your calendar, schedule something in the next 30 days that will help fulfill those roles. ie: if you are a spouse, schedule a date night, If your role is volunteer, what is the next event or activity that you will participate in over the next 30 days. Put it on your calendar and commit to doing it. Whatever you choose to do, whether it is big or small, list it below. 3. Start getting into the practice of looking at every task that you do every day and asking yourself if it fits into any of your roles. If the answer is yes, then DO IT. If the answer is no, don’t spend time on it. This is where we waste time getting caught up doing unimportant things that might be “important” to others, but don’t get us to our goals (and in turn creates a lot of stress and anxiety feeling overworked and unorganized. Once you get in the routine of sticking to your roles, it becomes easier to DO the things you NEED to get done. How true this is! How many of us could do with focus like this in our lives? Me? I am a : 1. Wife 2. mother 3. Daughter/sister 4. Helper 5. Dreamer I have planned already 2 dates in the next 30 days, one of them being a date with my little girl. We are visiting family this weekend in Vegas, and want to start Skype calls back up. I am going to call my siblings (all 10 of them) more often.....that takes some planning, let me tell you! And helping is not a problem....I am kind of obsessed wtih it. Dreaming......hmmm, not bad at that either, but I am working on my tufflily.org site right now (under construction) to open it up to many more women to help them see that they are stronger than they think. BAM! Exercise started. Who wants to do this with me? Watch this vid for a more visual representation: https://youtube/watch?v=fmV0gXpXwDU
