Changing habits….Try a teleclass for a change

Take a look at the out dated commercial and think about how times have changed!

Then it was considered healthy to smoke. Nowadays it’s preferable to think about (and act on your thoughts) to have a healthy body mind and spirit.

If you have a copy of Prescription for change- for doctors who want a life (2nd edition) have a look at page 55 ‘Looking after number one.’ It’s about how important self care is.

U is for underestimate the power of language. When you use language such as ‘I’ll try’ you are not committing yourself to getting something done. You are saying I’ll do it when or if I have the time. If, however you say instead, ‘I’ll do it by next weekend, then you are making a positive commitment and it is much more likely that the task will be completed.

When you say ‘this is going to be difficult’ then it will be. If on the other hand you say ‘this is something I am able to do’ then you will be able to do it.

Time for a teleclass

T is for Take Time  Because we are all busy people we sometimes forget that it’s important to take time  to just be. Take time to relax or catch up with friends or connect with family  again.As important is to take time to connect with yourself too. To do some hings for yourself. It’s so easy to be on a sort of treadmill isn’t it? You may reflect and realise you are nearly always caring for others and forgetting that your own needs are. They are important too.   

Take time too to do some clearing out of your physical surroundings and well as the mental clutter which can accumulate too.  Spring cleaning is a useful habit to introduce into your life whether or not you do it in the Spring! It’s vital from time to time to metaphorically step back and reassess what you need and what you can dispose of.  This also has the beneficial effect of clearing space for new ideas to flow and can result in things which you have resisted or procrastinated about for ages getting done again. If you have an hour to spare  at 7.00pm UK time on Tuesday 25th March 2008 please register to come along to a free teleclass. It is an introduction to eight of the most powerful things you must do to find the prescription for your change. It is a preview call to my new series of teleclasses starting in  April which will cover in detail all of the 16 strategies you need to find the prescrition  for your change.

If you want more information about the 16 strategies and download a free report then please go to www.prescriptionforchange.co.uk

There is no charge for this call.  I’ve posted details and how to register HERE

What’s getting in the way of you making the changes you want?

I filmed this short video recently in Rio and thought it was an ideal metaphor for not letting things get in your way!

Some things in life seem to be immoveable, like the car in the video, and stop you doing what you want to do. However you can make shifts, perhaps with the help and support of others. When you all pull together to shift something it’s possible to continue on your journey through life.

What is in the way of your life running smoothly on the track of your life? What obstacles do you need to shift?

When you move things out of your way you may need others to help you (perhaps a coach or a mentor, friends, family or partner?)

Alarms may sound too. Keep your vision in your mind’s eyes and keep going…… You can do it!!

Procrastination

You know what you want. You know what you have to do and
yet nothing happens!
You are still going from day to day getting more and more
frustrated with your ’stuck-ness’ and apparent inability to
get moving on the things which are important to you.

Because you are a doctor, a professional who is successful
and in control, to a lesser or greater extent, of your life,
this inability to get projects finished can be unbelievably
frustrating, can’t it?

Why don’t you do what you want to do?

Many doctors like you are perfectionists so there is a
huge subconscious fear that you may not get it right,
and the task you’ve set yourself might fail. Your colleagues
might laugh at your failure and you would feel awful
if that happened, wouldn’t you?

Instead you could try to de-construct what you actually do
when you plan to do something. Look at each part of the process
and then change something. Change the order or the place
and see what happens. Because you will find that when you
change something other things will change too.

Maybe you relate to the character in the short video:
