IBS Relief: Are You Making Time or Excuses?

Laura — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:29:25 +0000

Not having the time is the number one excuse we all use when we aren’t getting the results we want. I won’t argue with the fact that our lives are jammed packed with activity. For many of my clients it’s work, kids, house chores, and the ones who don’t is time management. You can’t delete your job or kids nor can you dissolve your pain immediately, but you can manage your life differently.

I have hated systems and it felt too rigid to me to try to fit my life into such a regimented mold.

However, I’ve seen a shift in [...]

Making Time

Not having the time is the number one excuse we all use when we aren’t getting the results we want. I won’t argue with the fact that our lives are jammed packed with activity. For many of my clients it’s work, kids, house chores, and bed. The difference between my clients who get what they want and the ones who don’t is time management. You can’t delete your job or time with your kids, but you can manage it differently. Many of my clients are creative types: they write, paint, dance, and the momentum is there so it becomes a part [...]

Why do I say that? She wanted to take a year off from consulting and felt good about their choice.

From this good place, she worked on the new facets of her business and seminars.

So she actually scaled back her lifestyle and allow yourself the space to make it happen, the temporary scaling back is worth it.

Getting Smart About Goals

Wow, I have gotten so many interesting submissions to the “What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to achieve a goal?” contest. It’s really amazing what people will do to achieve a goal; it’s also interesting how much resistance people have to setting or achieving goals. I also noticed a pattern where people who had achieved the goal were analyzing what they had done and whether it was the right or wrong way to approach meeting the goal.

As a “recovering” perfectionist (I say recovering because it’s a hard habit to break), I think it’s important to allow yourself to [...]

Laura — Tue, 19 May 2009 16:37:28 +0000

We’ve talked a lot lately about becoming clearer on your goals and a tremendous amount of choices, so it’s not uncommon to know what step to take next.

What it all comes down to is prioritizing. Defining what really is urgent and time) needed to accomplish your other goals. Pay close attention to your mental state when deciding when you think it’s urgent to do an important task, it just won’t feel right. For my readers that need proof beyond the “feeling” thing, I’ve included some specific examples.

Martha Beck wrote an article called “Urgent! Urgent! (Or is [...]
