Keep Your Eye on the Ball

Did you ever get an idea that you get all fired up over only to wonder whatever happened to it??

I would guess that it was brilliant and would have turned out awesome but you got caught up in everyday life and other commitments and it didn't fully materialise into what you wanted.

I can put my hand up and say I've had many of those! The trick is of course to keep your eye on the ball. Keep your idea somewhere where it will stay at the front of your mind, even while you are doing your everyday chores and commitments.

Different ways to do this of course are:

Visualise it - Morning, Evening or both. It only takes 5 minutes or less if you're really good at it. I'm not so much a visual person as I am kinetic so when I do this I concentrate on how I know its going to make me feel.

Journal it - Keep a notebook or journal with you and whenever you get that spark of inspiration write it down or draw it.

Make a Vision board - You can do this on specific things or general, but have fun with it and then put it up somewhere you will see it often.

Create Action Steps - Even if they are the tiniest little baby steps, keep taking those action steps to make it happen. A little step towards your dream or idea is better than no steps at all, don't you think?

Hire a Coach - A coach will keep you on track and focused on your ideas and goals, keeping you motivated and empowered to make them happen.

I have some great packages available to help you start creating and living your dreams. You can help yourself to a little browse if you CLICK HERE.

Hope you have an Empowered Week :-)

Do you notice the signs?

I was going to write about something else today but then I was woken up by not just one kookaburra but a whole gang of them, definitely a first for me. Anyway I decided to look into it a bit more and here's what it said....

Key words around the kookaburra are: Lighten Up, Sparkle, Treat yourself, rewards. 
Preparation is key, this plants the seed so you can reap the rewards. Remember that you need to put in the effort, there are no quick fixes!
It's all about action and being fearless in overcoming obstacles and taking on new adventures.
Kookaburra reminds you to lighten up and not take yourself too seriously. If you lighten up so will others around you, remember to enjoy each day as it comes and enjoy the new day. 
The medicine the Kookaburra brings to us is laughter and joy. His distinctive laughing call that can be heard, makes you feel like laughing along with him. It's all about stirring the joy that lives deep within your being.

Don't wait for the kookaburra though, laugh today, find and do something that brings you laughter and joy for these are the essence of our being.  Lighten up and enjoy! Life is for the enjoyment of living. Go to the park, enjoy the day. Visit a friend, or enjoy a relaxing massage. Treat yourself today! 

Just in case that isn't enough reason for you, here are a few benefits to laughing more...

• It produces a general sense of wellbeing
• It triggers the release of endorphins
• Boosts T Cells (These help you fight off sickness)
• Improves your cardiac health
• It's a great abdominal workout
• It reduces stress
• It lowers blood pressure
• It increases memory and learning
• Improves creativity and alertness

Hope you have an Empowered and Laugh filled week.
