Making Progress with Energy
I’ve always found that it is very easy to stay focused and motivated when you feel you are making progress. The opposite is true when things are not going well, I guess doubts can start creeping in – “I’m spending too much time, effort, money on this activity and all it’s creating is stress!!”
A good friend of mine is a “real world” personal-coach and he was telling me that his focus with most of his clients is in raising energy levels. To do this he gets his clients to remove “clutter” from their lives so as to free up time and space for the things they want and should be concentrating on.
By nature, I’m a tidy person and I find I get extremely irritated by unnecessary clutter. Today, I spent about 1 hour deleting and filing various e-books – reports – programs etc that I’ve left on my PC desktop because they will “come in useful” one day. I figured I hadn’t read them over the past 6 months so how important could they be?
The sense of achievement and rush of energy when I completed that small task was amazing to me. My friend is right – freeing up some space ( I mean the space in my head not having to think about those icons on the desktop) has given me a boost and place to think.
This was a great tip that I’d never really thought about before. Something I’ll now be more conscious of moving forward.
