| There is a distinct theme that is coming up for all of my clients (and also myself) – are you committed? In the world we live in today, we have been programed to not be committed. Have you ever seen a Facebook invite/event? Your options are interested and going. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is actually. How many times have you been like me and starred the interested button. Instead of living in a committed world, we are living in an interested world. I am interested in this and that, but I am never committed to actually going. When you got proposed to, did he ask if you were interested in getting married or were you asked, ‘will you marry me?’ He was asking for a commitment of a life together, not being interested in life together. Where are you playing an interested game rather than a committed game? I will share with you that this came up for me a couple weeks ago when it came to writing these emails. I wasn’t committed to sending them anymore. So, I didn’t do one for weeks. Then this last week I wanted to change that but was having tech issues in having access to my email. I could not send you an email (long annoying story that I will spare you the details!) Thankfully with diligent work by my team, here I have access again. During sessions with my clients, this conversations around their commitments kept coming up over and over again. One of them wanted to work on self-motivation and I let them know that it isn’t about motivation. Are you committed or are you not committed. And THAT is how you get motivated. My world of the year is ‘commit’. Oh, the irony that the word I chose to support me, I was avoiding. However, I am back to being committed to sending out these emails because I want to! I can stay not committed or choose to be committed. And seeing you got this email today; you can see what I chose. Hopefully, this message gives you some inspiration that when you recognize that something you want to be committed to but are not. That all you need to do is choose again to being committed. Much love, Trudi |
