Ain't that the truth 💥 If I had to give 2020 a word, so far, I'd have to say 🤝CONNECTION 🤝 In the first 2 months of this year I have made so many connections. Some have been deliberate - reaching out to new people and opportunities. Some have been a natural widening of my circle - we all know someone who knows someone who knows someone... And then some have been delightfully unintentional - a series of random (or not so random) actions that have led me to meeting someone new. The common factor in all of this has been the opportunity to find more like-minded people who are passionate about making change happen in their own work and lives 👏👏👏 I love communicating with new people, about new ideas and new knowledge. I love hearing unique stories and and how someone's journey has led them to be talking with me. 🤔 What connections are you making this year? #makingchangehappen
💬Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good. Malcolm Gladwell 💬 ❓Do you have a consistent practice ❓ I have many - and writing is a major one ✍️ Every day, I write: ✍️Morning pages - a daily page of musing and reflection 🤔 ✍️Daily blog post on medium.com [search for Drip by Drip] 💦 ✍️ Content for my upcoming book 📕 Every week, I write: ✍️ A weekly article for my blogging group ✍️ A creative piece for my other writing group I cannot be a good writer unless I write. Practicing every day, every week, every month enables me to master my craft, and to continually stoke the writing fires with new ideas and content. Whatever your thing is, practice, practice, practice. #makingchangehappen #writerslife
I love this quote. Perhaps because I am an eternal enthusiast and optimist. I received this comment this week "Regardless of what you say, your relentless positivity is in itself quite the inspiration." Walking the line between positivity and pollyanna-ish is sometimes tricky. I'm a true believer in positivity breeding positivity so I'll continue to do my best to bring that to the world through my words and my work. How are you bringing enthusiasm to your work today? #makingchangehappen
💬 Sometimes a change of perspective is all it takes to see the light. Dan Brown 💬 We can mull over problems for a long time and then, seemingly from nowhere a solution appears. That tiny shift in perspective can allow us to see or understand something we didn't before. When I'm feeling particularly stuck, I deliberately change my perspective, such as 💡 visualise what 'unstuck' looks like & think about solutions 💡 talk to someone with different views, or thinking, to me 💡 change my environment, like going for a walk to think through things Looping through the same thought process tends to send us in a downward spiral. What do you do to see things differently? #makingchangehappen
Struggling to make a change in your work and life? 😩 It's time to choose hope. Hope is often considered not much more than a positive, feel-good emotion. Yet, when we look at the psychology of hope, it becomes so much more powerful for making change happen. 💪 Hope is like oxygen. It's what keeps us alive. It's what sustains us when we are running the marathon of change. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Like a deep breath in, hope provides energy and allows us to look at every moment as a new possibility. Hope provides us with the will to pursue change. When it feels like a struggle, when it feels hopeless, it is the time to choose hope. Agree? #makingchangehappen
💬Every great move forward in your life begins with a leap of faith, a step into the unknown. Brian Tracy 💬 A leap of faith can feel scary 😧 What if it doesn’t work? ❓A question I have been asked many times. A question worth asking. ❓ The reality is that it might not work. Whatever 'it' may be. The change we are seeking to make may not result in what we are expecting, wanting, or needing. For more reasons than we can even anticipate, it may not work. But (yes, there’s always a but), what if it does work? 🙌 The possibility that it may not work need not deter us from taking that leap. As the wise Yoda reminds us, “do or do not…” When we leap, we discover what aspects will work, what things we need to adapt and what we need to abandon. If we do not, we will never know. What leap can you take this week? 🤸‍♀️ #makingchangehappen
