“Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s a result of something… hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.”~~ Roger Steinbach

j0444430Confidence thinking allows you to control your thoughts.  Your thoughts shape your reality.  This is a skill that you can develop.  Remember the time you walked into a room and all heads turned towards you, remember how great you felt and the way you put your shoulders back, head up, tummy in, ‘girls’ out (please don’t tell me about gravity) and strutted!  Do you sometimes wonder what happened to the girl with all the confidence?  When did you abdicate your ‘throne’ and begin to become invisible?

Even in the middle of planning and shopping for the holidays, you can still be confident.  Even though times are different than most of us have ever known, you can still be confident.  Boomer women more than ever MUST reclaim your right; you still have it in you!  Decide right this moment to step back into your confidence.  Words are magical.  Speak it into existence.

Day 15 As you go through your day, pay attention to your thoughts.  Are you speaking confidence or accepting whatever happens.  Either way, you’re making a choice and creating your result.

“If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started”~~Marcus Garvey

Day 13 of 45 Day Challenge: How to Minimize Holiday Overwhelm

overwhelm

Do you feel as if you’re carrying the world on your shoulders and time is running out?  This burden is really getting heavy and making the Holiday season less enjoyable.  Boomer women become overwhelmed with the tasks shopping, cooking, decorating and ALL the things we think others expect us to do for the Holidays.  AND of course we want everything to be perfect so we feel responsible.  Responsibility begins in the mind.

Accepting that you are completely responsible for yourself and delegating some of the Holiday tasks will mark the starting point of relieving the feeling of overwhelm.  Be sure to select well in delegating tasks; choose someone who can do the task and will get the task completed on time with minimal supervision.

It is not uncommon to feel anxious the first time you delegate a task.  One of the best ways to get over this hurdle is to create a mantra “I’m letting go, I’m delegating tasks and all is well.”  The more practice you get, the easier it gets, until one day you realize that you no longer have to carry the world on your shoulders.

The goal of accepting responsibility and learning to delegate is to free you.

Day 13 Decide what tasks can be done by someone else; then delegate.  Notice your feelings you around delegating.

woodstockPractically everything we do starts with initiative.  Personal initiative is the ability to create, nurture and actualize.  Personal initiative is a choice.  It can be described as divine instruction leading to inspired action.  It requires using effective communication of ideas, visions and dreams for a desired result.

Taking personal initiative involves being innovative, facing fears, taking the first step and always holding your vision.  Boomer women have been taking initiative and leading the forefront of change ever since we burned our bras, set at lunch counters, loved the Beatles and took part in Woodstock.

Now baby boomer women are at a time in their lives when they get to take the initiative in creating the life they desire.  They can step fearlessly into this new passage, embracing and being the change.  No one knows exactly how it will be; they all know that having a clear vision allows them to create the new.

Day 12 What’s stopping you from your vision; holding you hostage and keeping you in a life of mediocrity.  Choose to do something BOLD today toward making your vision your reality.
