Empower Newsletter – November 2011
Welcome to the November 2011 edition of the Empower Newsletter. Can you believe it is Christmas next month! Already the Christmas Carols are playing when you walk into Shopping Centres. When I hear them, it triggers reflection of the year that has past and how quickly it has flown. Then I catch myself smiling because I remember that ‘time fly’s when you are having fun’.
Did you know?
‘there will never be a good time’
Have you ever not started something you really wanted to do because you thought you wouldn’t be very good at it, or you didn’t know everything about it, or you thought you wouldn’t be good enough?
If you continue to think this way, there will never be a good time to start. Why not take charge of your life and make it happen today! Would you rather put off starting it and miss out on all the rewards, or will you make a start today and reap all of the benefits that will come from doing it?
My number one tip for getting past these initial thoughts to enable you to start whatever it is you want to do, is to think back to a time before you did something new in the past and remember what it felt like and how by doing it, it got easier. An example of this is when you first started your current profession or you first started learning to drive a car. You knew you wanted to do these things but you didn’t know everything that was involved in doing them and you certainly wouldn’t have known if you would be good at it. It took a bit of time and practice to become really proficient and confident at it. Eventually you got to the point of completing a task or driving a car without even having to think about it.
So don’t put it off any longer. Remember the only way you are going to get better at it, or learn more about it, is to start doing it. The more you do it, the more competent you will become, and the more competent you become, the more confident you will be.
Remember practice makes perfect.
