Mary Lee's Advice on Big Life and Career Reinvention: DISCOVER
You learned about statistics, cash flow, engagement, profit margins and productivity in college and business school. But you didn’t learn the tenets of how to uplevel your career or presence for higher performance and better income. It starts with the personal transformation of your mindset. If you are at a crossroads and ready to make a shift in your life here are eight steps that you can use right now to find clarity and disarm doubt.
Eight Discovery Steps to Make a Mindset Shift Right Now
D – Decide to Change. Tell people. Write it down. Be self-aware without judgment. Set deadlines to monitor your progress.
I – Investigate Yourself. What do you love to do? What do you observe in silence? What have you forgotten about your strengths?
S – Sit on Your Ego. Say nothing. Listen only. Forgive. Be kind to the unkind. They need it most.
C – Confront Your Head Trash. What fear is running your life? Face your fear. Talk to it. This desensitizes you to its power. It is just trying to protect you.
O – Out Your Anxiety. Anxiety if practicing failure in advance. It is outside of who you really are. Who are you without that thought?
V – Visualize Your Success. In one year what will have happened for this to have been a great year? Draw it. Color it. Cut out and paste magazine photos. What key colors and words motivate you? Post it where you will see it.
E – Execute Affirmations. Write, recite and live “I am” statements: “I am a vice president.” “I am healthy.” “I am grateful.” “I am love.” Say them out loud every night before you go to sleep.
R – Ride the Magic of the Moment. Be aware of where you are headed but give full attention to the step you are working on right now. Celebrate the magic of now.
