Time management tips count on you to say a firm "No" to one set of time choices in order to welcome new uses for your time. But what happens when the word "No" sticks in your throat? If you struggle with setting limits, try these 5 tips to release the old and embrace the new uses for your time.
1. Give Yourself Personalized, Not Generic Support.
The responsibility to take your next step sits squarely on your shoulders. Only you know what it demands to disengage from old routines and outworn commitments. It helps to develop fundamental wisdom about how best to give yourself just the support you need. Through practice and intuition, you can relate to yourself with the optimal blend of encouragement, compassion and realism to mobilize yourself. With your own backing, you'll discover just how capable you are.
What works for you will differ from what works for anyone else in the world. Furthermore, your own needs will vary from day to day, as well as from hour to hour.
2. Ask Yourself Searching Questions And Listen Carefully To The Answers.
Your most important relationship is with yourself! So give your undivided attention to how you feel. Ask yourself questions that are challenging and will inspire you to move ahead. As you explore possibilities, you'll discover useful and unique new approaches:
Where do you resist moving forward? What encourages you to take a new risk and expand your possibilities? What influences you personally to use your time in new ways that work well for you?
3. Build On What You Learn.
Study your answers. What do they tell you? How well do your motivators work for you? What needs to change?
Expand your desire to become more authentic, assertive and motivated. Know what generates your enthusiasm. And when you feel yourself driven by urgency or general restlessness, take time to slow down and sort things out. Ask yourself what triggers your impulsive behavior.
4. Courage Inspires You To Move Ahead.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
As we rediscover, over and over, our time and energy are finite. Fortunately, facing this can fire your resolve to make tough decisions! Realize that time is short. Identify new activities that are especially meaningful to you. Then, limit activities that compete with your emerging goals.
5. Allow The Release Of Old Patterns To Be A Process:
So ignite your courage with your warmth of enthusiasm. Remind yourself of the avenues of growth you wish to travel. Let your imagination shine! Picture yourself making your way down your special path. Experience the anticipation and alertness. Next, select a doable action step to launch your project.
The more fully you commit to your emerging self, the easier it will be to let go of activities that are no longer a good fit. And the energy you release from your old attachments comes with you!
So now, take an assertive and well-considered risk to find new time and start the most exciting chapter of your life!
