I always meet my deadlines. 06/25/2009
Whenever I begin a task, I take time to make an action plan, and then I jump right in. My plan brings me the confidence to forge ahead, knowing that I deserve great success. When creating my plan, I divide the task into small, attainable actions. This gives me step-by-step instructions of what to do from beginning to end. When I complete the simplest of tasks first, I build a powerful forward momentum. Even though I know my plan is sound, I don't set it in stone. If circumstances change, I adapt with ease. Changing course from time to time is okay, just as long as I am still moving toward my goal. I have the tools and techniques that I can use to relieve stress in times of challenge, bring confidence in times of doubt, and energize me if my motivation wanes. When obstacles arise, I take them in stride. If I'm feeling stressed, I simply take a moment to breathe deeply. Deep breathing relaxes my body and gives my mind a surge of oxygen to help clarify my thoughts. If doubt creeps in, I use positive self-talk and affirmations to replace any negative thoughts I may have. This renews my confidence in my abilities. To keep my energy at its best, I eat right, exercise, get enough rest, and take time to rejuvenate my spirit with meditation and prayer. My step-by-step action plan empowers me to overcome any challenge and accomplish any task. Today, I choose to tackle my tasks with renewed energy and confidence. With my action plan and set of valuable tools, I can take swift action toward success. Self-Reflection Questions: 1. What tasks am I delaying? 2. Have I written an action plan? 3.
