Stepping Up

Isn't it interesting that as I am editing my last post, AOL blips out, and I lose it all. But I am determined to step up so here I go again.
I declared recently that I would become wildly successful. This does not seem like a reasonable thing for a 61 year old women, only recently an entreprenneur, to do. It is unreasonable to make the bold declaration that I will be wildly, financially successful. I have never accomplished this in the past. But I am determined to become that successful!
However, when I slept through my recent coaching appointment with my coach Elyse Killoran, creator of "creating prosperity from the inside out", I felt so bad. I had missed a golden opportunity to move my goal forward. However, this is not the first time I have been late nor missed an appointment. Once early in my coaching career, I missed several of my coaching sessions in a row. I thought I had overcome that problem. And I know that I had a good excuse this time. I was exhausted from a weekend retreat I led. But good excuses do not support me in my desire for wild success.
"What I want" is the coaches mantra and I am a life coach. With that in mind, I asked myself, "What do I really want." I want to keep my word when I make a commitment. I want to have valuable coaching to move my goals forward. I want to have my body support me in what I want to do. I want organization around me. My office reflects a very cluttered and disorganized mind. I want to be unreasonable and pursue wild success. So my old habits must be challenged. I want my new habits to be supportive of my direction.
Changing habits can be difficult. With a coach, a plan, and lots of practice (without reproach for slips) it is not hard to make these changes. So that is what I will do. I will find an organizational coach to help with my office and my daily practices. I will write out a plan for my health including my foods, exercise and spiritual practices. I will implement this plan and use an accountability partner. I will double check my daily planner when I am tired or very busy and not rely on my 61 year old mind to remember my schedule. I will sit on the edge of my seat anticipating coaching sessions and treat them as golden. I will be wildly successful and know myself in ways I have not yet been known. I will achieve unreasonable goals. I can "see" the new me in my minds eye. I love who I see. I chose to step into the new me. I am taking action and loving my successes. Wahoo! It is being accomplished. I have stepped up!
