New Year – New You – How?

It can be simple or it can be complicated.

Which would you like it to be?

Yes, it is up to you.

Nothing in this world is complicated – nothing – except those things which people make complicated. 

Man-Made Complications can be:

• an excuse – “My life is so complicated, no one can figure it out.”
• a fantasy – “I’m so special, there are no answers for me”
• appearance of false self-importance – “I’m so superior intellectually no one else can understand what I know”
• keep people out or away – “If you don’t understand, then you can’t be a part of my world.”
• get rich – “I know something you don’t.  If you want to know, you’ll have to pay me a lot of money to fix you”

How do I know?  Experience. 

Experience has taught me that life is actually quite simple. Human thought makes it complicated.

Humans see themselves as the most intelligent of beasts, however, that notion can also separate us and create an atmosphere in which it is possible for some but not all.

Anything is possible for everyone.  It depends on how we’ve been programmed.  And programmed we’ve all been by our parents, relatives, friends, academia, society, books, tv, internet, and a host of other sources impacting your life.

The great thing about people is that they can re-program themselves if they give up notions.  Step-by-step, as a process, it can be done successfully.

If you are a subscriber, you have found that the free goal setting you received when you signed up to this blog has allowed you to achieve some of your goals.  Why?  What is a goal? 

A goal is simply an attempt to change your life.  Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t.  Why?  Because you find that you really didn’t want what you thought you wanted and couldn’t stick with the program.  Lack of “stickability” tells you the goal you set out to accomplish was not something you really, really want.

New you – what is that?  It’s simply a goal.  Do you want it?

If you do, then use the goal accomplishing system you’ve received and begin – slowly, progressively, daily.

Is Time Management Static? 

It would seem so when people talk about time management.  “I adopted this, it works well” 

However, time management needs to be fluid.  No person is a robot.  Everyone’s life changes constantly even when we think it remains the same. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, static of about anyone’s life.  What works well at one point in life may not be so effective under different circumstances.

Ebbs and Tides – the colors of life

The ebbs and tides of life require adjustments and that’s why so many people get into trouble with managing their time. 

24 hours – that’s all we have – 24 hours – no more, no less, no matter what circumstances have appeared in your life.  The big mistake people make is simply not adjusting for life’s ever changing tides, not even the expected ones.

For instance, a couple expecting a baby reel with excitement.  They are told by friends and family that their lives will change.   Armed with this valuable knowledge, do most couples think ahead?  Most of often not.  Baby comes and exhaustion sets in.

What if these soon-to-be new parents sat down ahead of baby’s arrival and mapped out their time commitments – what will change, what will each person  give up and how will everyone’s needs be accommodated?  Remember, baby is an “add in” – something has to be taken out to make space.  Baby doesn’t much care.  Baby needs what baby needs when it needs it and, if anyone around them is stressed and anxious, so will baby.  Baby will pick up on the “vibes” of the parents and react accordingly.  Everyone’s stress rises even more!

Stress

I sincerely believe that if people did more of this kind of give and take planning with their schedules before major events  in their lives, people would reduce their stress levels.  

Every time something new enters our lives, we must give up something else -  two separate objects cannot occupy the same space.  For instance, if you have a couch in your living room, your chairs cannot occupy the same space as your couch.  Chairs will take up a certain amount of square footage and so will your couch.

As fluid as our lives are, time management must work in tandem with this ever changing landscape.

Fabulous Friday – Every Day of the Week!  Why Not?  Could you do it?

Sure.

Think about how you feel on Friday – capture it.  Many people are exhausted when Friday rolls around – they’re spent but find relief in knowing they have two days to do something different.  Others are looking forward to a sleep in or afternoon naps on the week-end,  team sports, family dinners, and getting together with friends.  And still others just want to lay on the beach and “chill”!  Can you feel the effect of just anticipating what is to come has on your approach to the day?  For most people, it’s a good feeling.

How about duplicating that feeling every day of the week? How about making each day a day to look forward to?  For instance, you could make slogans for each day to represent that day:

Marvelous Monday

Terrific Tuesday

Wonderful Wednesday – it’s the middle!

Thunderous Thursday

and, of course, Fabulous Friday –

week-ends – Speedy Saturday or Sleepy Sunday

Each day is fun and each day has got a theme. You could make it into a game with friends, family and colleagues or just a simple acknowledge it in your emails or when you meet and greet people.  See how people respond.  Instead of saying in emails or in person, “have a nice day” say, “Have a Wonderful Wednesday”.  It’s a little thing but it’ll have people notice.

See what fun you can have and how it changes attitudes towards every day of the week!  Let me know what happens!  Make a comment on my blog and share the fun you have created!

That’s how Fabulous Friday can be translated to every day of the week!
