success strategies – Ruthann M. Wilson

Let’s shift & move forward.

Replace “I doubt it will happen” with “I believe it will happen”

Beliefs are powerful things; they are the vehicles through which we create our lives and filter our experiences. Whatever we believe to be true is the reality from which we create our lives. Fear and doubt are a part of life, but they don’t have to rule your life. The best way to move through fear and doubt is to take action.

Exercise: Today’s challenge is an invitation to renew your belief in your ability to succeed. Identify something that you have been putting off because you doubt it will actually happen.

💥 Envision a desired future state and write it down and/or find an image that captures what you envision. Keep your vision in a place where you can see it on a regular basis.

💥 Outline the steps needed to bring your vision to life as well as a date for completion.

💥 Create an affirmation that aligns with your future state and work with it on a daily basis.

💥 Each day, commit to taking three actions to move toward your desired future state.

💥 Hold yourself accountable by assessing your commitment to action at the end of each day.

Don’t wait until you are “ready” to begin. Start small, gain momentum, and bring your vision to life. Plan and prepare for it or something better to happen. Believe in your ability to succeed.

Let’s shift and move forward.

Replace ‘I can’t’ with ‘I can’.

In order to move forward, we have to believe that we can. Stay open to possibility by shifting your thinking from ‘I can’t’ to ‘I can’.

Exercise: Write a list of wants/needs/desires that ‘I can’t’ thinking is keeping you from pursuing. Pick one of the things on your list to work on this week. Write down all the reasons you can’t do it and then tear it up. Write an affirmative statement ‘I can [insert whatever you picked]’ three times and commit to taking action, starting today. Post your affirmation everywhere to remind you that you can! Celebrate your accomplishments along the way.

Let the shift begin!

All the best,

Ruthann
