Do you ARGUE for your LIMITATIONS? 


I love the idea in this article.

It was given to me by my son, Nick.

Do you ever find yourself in that stuck place?

You know, either a big thing squashed you or a series of smaller things have hit and you just feel like giving up?


Sometimes we just wait for things to get better.  Sometimes they do.  In my experience, if they're already going bad, they often keep going that direction. 


So let's get some ideas on how to get back on track . . .

QUOTE OF THE DAY

 

"The most important thing to remember is this:  

to be ready at any moment to give up what you are  

for what you might become."  

 

- W.E.B. Du Bois 

 

ARGUE FOR YOUR LIMITATIONS AND THEY ARE YOURS

 I love that statement.  I made some innocuous statement that started with
"I can't ever seem to . . . " to my son, Nick, a few months ago, and he nonchalantly said to me,
"Argue for your limitations and they are yours."
 

It kind of took me aback.

He's 19 and telling me to rethink how I was talking?  Yup. 

And he was right.  I've thought about that since then.  Sometimes life piles up and feels heavy.  We make statements that show how we're thinking, and it can be very revealing.

Limiting words:
I can't . . .
I just . . .
I wish I could . . .
Why can't they . . .
Well, if THEY would ____, then I would ______. 


YOU CAN BE MORE SUCCESSFUL when you're more accountable.

Argue for your strengths instead!

I choose not to . . .

I choose to . . .

I didn't get it done AND . . .

I am going to . . . (Regardless of what the other person does or doesn't do.)

The first step I'm going to take is . . .

I haven't done it . . . YET.

These are forward thinking words. 

As you think differently, you'll feel a little bit differently. 

As you feel differently, you'll act differently.


As you act differently (even with baby steps), you'll begin to change. 


Change is all about the small steps. 


The Grand Canyon was built by little trickles of water, right?  It adds up!


 

One step at a time

Our team was so impressed with your professionalism and method of delivery.  In fact, your insightful real life stories turned out to be the highlight of the training.  You were able to speak to our team in a language familiar to them and to provide them with the tips and techniques with which most everyone needs to be reminded.  Our team met shortly after the training and was energized and had an increased level of confidence in their ability to tackle every day stress!

I was present last night at your presentation. I want you to know what an impact you made on me!!  I am 60 years old and have attended motivational speeches before; but never have I come away from one feeling so sure of what I needed to do to change my heart and my life.

My Legacy Coaching, LLC
ACW cropped resized Ana-Christina's power as a coach comes from her profound ability to draw out your inner most passions and beliefs and weave them together in such a concise way that you can carry them with you every single day.

Her absolute love of what she does -- helping us find and connect with our authentic selves and desires -- is infectious and compels you to engage with both her and the process 110%.

What is coaching?  Coaching is not therapy or counseling.  One analogy is:  "Therapy is like helping someone with a broken leg to walk again.  Coaching is helping them to run the four minute mile."  Tony Grant - Sydney University.    

My Legacy Coaching, LLC - I help people to learn to live unregretted lives.

My passion is to give people the HOW tools to move and grow in direction of building the life they REALLY want.  I help people who are feeling stuck. 

Instead of just surviving or "hanging in there,", I help my clients to thrive in their personal and/or professional lives.  I help them with balance, perspective, and resilience.

A willing heart does not stay stagnant while working with me.


You tell me what you are looking for (if you don't know, I'll help you uncover it), I share tools, and then I encourage and inspire and hold you accountable. 

Encourage = to give heart.
Inspire = to give breath; to give life.



If you are ready to explore your options with coaching, or think a friend or family member might be ready, call or email me!  I offer a 20-30 minute free exploratory session to all new clients to answer questions and let them see how coaching might work in their lives.

Ana-Christina took my résumé and made it come alive, IT WAS ME ON PAPER!!!  Since the economy has take a down turn you need to think about how you can stand out from the other résumés and... it does just that.  I now have a more personal résumé than just what my skills are.  I love my new résumé and can't wait to start using it.
A.S., Walton, NY
