Design Your Best Life
"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but
you can do something about its width and depth"

Happy October! I love this month. Here in the Midwest the leaves are starting to change color
and the air is getting cooler yet we can still be outside and not freeze…..Fall is officially here
and we can start looking forward to all the new upcoming changes!! Speaking of exciting
changes Life Coaching Designs has a few new upcoming events I would like to share with
you.

Family Mind Program
Family Mind Program” is a new group coaching program that is going to be available within
the next two months. I have partnered with other successful coaches to develop a life
changing year long program. It is focused on helping parents raise kids to have the most
confidence, respect and integrity. Be on the lookout for an amazing program that is guaranteed
to produce amazing results!! Julie Novalinski of
Crazy Amazing Life  is one of several
incredible life coaches bringing this program to life.

Career Works
In addition, Life Coaching Designs will be rolling out a new
“career works” group coaching
program within the next several months. If you are interested in designing your perfect career
so that it WORKS in all areas of your life then get ready! I will be sending more information
regarding this program very shortly…

Take Action
So rolling out these valuable programs prompted me to think more about taking action. Like
the above quote says it’s not the length of our life but rather the width and depth; I just love
this quote! There is no better time to take action then now. Don’t wait or procrastinate until it’
s the “right time.” If there is something you have always wanted to do or if recent changes in
your life have created new circumstances then take the right steps to make it work for you.
We can always find reasons for not doing something or not feeling worthy enough of living
our best live, however, it is the action that allows our life to start flowing and to finally
REALLY start living our lives.

So what is at the core of taking action? Is it as simple of just making list of what needs to be
done and then checking them off one by one? The answer is no because without the
motivation we may only start to take action but never fully complete the action steps needed.
The key word here is motivation. We must be motivated to finally do those things we have put
off or to make the necessary changes to start living our lives! HOWEVER, we may also need
to take action in order to get motivated.

There are days that even the most motivated people feel unmotivated at times. So how do we
get motivated to take action and also take action to get motivated?

Motivation is the zest and determination to help you reach greater heights. To get motivated
and take action it is vital to focus! Focus on one goal and really put your thoughts and energy
into accomplishing this goal. Most of all, take baby steps. Sometimes goals can seem
overwhelming but if you force yourself to take little steps toward achieving your goal you are
not only taking action but now feeling motivated to take further action. Remember to post
your goals in different areas where you can see it throughout the day and don’t forget to
celebrate those small successes. If you start to feel unmotivated surround yourself with people
and things that are on your same path. For example, read a blog or a book about your goal.
This will not only help you regain focus but will also inspire you. Lastly, squash the negative
self-talk. Monitor your thoughts and replace any negative ones with positive thoughts!

Well that is it for now. Keep in mind we will not always feel motivated but again force
yourself to take those baby steps because from those small actions you feel motivated to take
bigger steps! (to view past newsletters click here)
