Most of us, with COVID-19’s lockdown period, had to change our routines. Doing things, we do not always get time to attend to. Time for reflection. Spending more time with our loved ones. New habits. New ideas. New perspectives. Work from home.
REFLECTION TIME
Let us put all the other things aside and focus on reflection time. At home for such a long time. What did you reflect on? Did you have to work from home? Do you miss going to work? Do you miss spending hours in traffic? Do you love staying at home? Do you think you will be able to start working from home? Do you want to do something different with your life?
All these questions might have crossed your mind? Then there is a good chance that you are feeling overwhelmed and confused.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?
If you feel that you perhaps need a change. This is something that might assist you a little, in deciding on the direction you want to go in. Think of how would you want to be remembered? What do you want to be written on your tombstone?
YOUR MANTRA FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
Your tombstone inscription might also be your mantra for the year. The difference is, that your mantra is more short-term in nature. The idea of your mantra is one main goal that you want to accomplish, say in the next year. You will have to break that down into smaller accomplishable steps.
SOME IMPORTANT DECISIONS AND PLANNING
You have to decide for certain, what you want to do with the rest of your life. Do you think that you need a change? If the answer is that you are satisfied with where you are and with what you are doing, then you are one of the lucky ones.
Most people are not satisfied with their current circumstances. Most people have something else in mind for the rest of their lives.
CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
Remember, nothing that’s worthwhile happens overnight. Will you be able to change your circumstances? Can you afford a transition phase? Are you willing to work the hours needed to accomplish your new goal? It is not going to be easy. You must get your mindset right for this transition. It is going to take a lot of time and effort. Depending on your plan, it might cost a lot of money…
All these need to be considered and planned for beforehand.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
Most people do not have a clear idea or goal. Don’t worry about that, as I will go through the whole process in time.
If you have a clear idea of what you want to do, you can start with your planning.
- Define your goal
- Break your goal into small steps
- Start
The biggest mistake you can make is to overthink your idea. No one is perfect and your idea will never be perfect. We learn from our mistakes. Mistakes are an inevitable part of our lives and of anything that we do. If you are not making mistakes, you are not doing anything.
I agree that some planning and calculations should be done before you start. Don’t fall into the procrastinating hole.
TAKE ACTION NOW!!!
Peace, Love & Kindness,
