Sophie's Success Shortcuts

As you know I am a coach, and I don’t have to think much to find something to teach… hey, my clients is a never ending source of inspiration for writing.

I want to share something about the kind of life you live… because I want you to sign up to the 100 day challenge, so consider that I am selling you… shamelessly, pushing you, pressuring you: because it is that important.

So, here are the two main reasons that just came up in conversations with clients:

1. You don’t know what you want. When you don’t plan your life, other people will do it for you. And their plan is not much of anything for you… in fact, people will keep you in your status quo, if you let them do it.

How do you know that you have given the reigns to other people… after all you have a todo list, you have goals, etc. This is how I know: when I ask you when you are going to do something that’s on your list, you look in your mind not on your calendar.

Anything that only lives on a list is a setup for an incompletion, a think that sits heavily on your conscience.

When you say: I should really clean my garage (for example) your mind hears that what you should be doing it right now is cleaning your garage. So you eat dinner while your mind says: you should be cleaning out your garage… and you get indigestion. You go to sleep and your mind says: you should be cleaning out your garage… so you sleep poorly.

When you put your commitments on a calendar, your mind allows you to do what you are doing, leaves you alone and in peace, unless (of course) you don’t honor your calendar.

After a few weeks of putting everything on the calendar, and “uncommitting” from everything you don’t intend to do… like visit Uncle Joe in  Tahiti, or some other unrealistic wish… you’ll find that you’ll sleep better, and will have the energy to do the things that you are really committed to do.

It is also easier to say to your mother in law, when she asks you to mow her lawn, that right now you have something else on your agenda, but will schedule it for Friday… or something like that.

Your relationship to yourself, your environment and your life will change dramatically.

2. The second reason you don’t have the life you want is because you don’t know what is running your life, behind your back.

I always say that the purpose of life, the reason we are born, is to change the movie script we came with.

The movie script is like a machinery that makes sure your life follows its dictates to the t.

The life-goal you’ve set goes in another direction.

Your movie script is going to win unless you unearth, with a good coach, what is running the script.

I have seen “I am a failure”, “I am not smart enough”, “people will always take advantage of me”, “you can’t trust”, etc. etc. etc. etc. as the backbones of the movie scripts that win… unless the mechanism gets dismantled, and redirected to a healthier path.
