MONDAY MORNING ACTION TIP #39
|
Previous E-Weekly Tips: |
Have you ever done something that you are ashamed of in your career? Does it still haunt you to this day?
Did you lie on your resume or stretch the truth in a
conversation with your boss? Did you bring the wrong
report to a meeting and then say it was someone else's
fault? Did you call in sick when you weren't, or bring
supplies home from the office?
We all have done things that we are not proud of. And,
in most cases, no harm was done. The problem lies when
you keep your shame inside, and are unable to let it go.
THE WEEKLY ACTION CHALLENGE
Write down the three most embarrassing things you have
done in your career. Things you have tried to forget
about, but have not gone away. Your challenge this week
is to share them with someone you trust.
Yes, this can be a scary challenge. But once your
embarrassment is out in the open, then there is nothing
to hide anymore. This exercise will release you from
the past so you are free to create a new future.
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live,
so it might as well be a life you love!

COACH CASH to spend on any product or service at
Surpass Your Dreams for their contribution.
This week's winner is Judy Miller who wrote in to say:
"Thanks for your tip about being more than my to-do
list. Experience has taught me that to-do lists are
a tool, not a manual. I find that my creativity is
sacrificed and my flexibility disappears if I follow
my list too rigidly. I remind myself at those times to
focus on the big picture, rather than on crossing off
single elements, hoping to create the big picture. The act of writing something down is a ritual that
helps me feel like I have things in control, but if I
hold myself to a standard of performance that does not
give me time to "smell the roses," my quality of life
is diminished."
Good for you Judy!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
