This morning I wrote in my newsletter about 10 great questions on letting go, to help you get clear and ready to start out for 2009 in success mode.
(If you want to get the list, contact me on twitter at www.twitter.com/coachclaire and send me a tweet @coachclaire and I'll let you have the list and how to sign up!)
I like to walk my talk as a coach, so here are some of the things I want to let go of in 2009 and how I think they can help me to be even more successful in my coaching biz:
I want to let go of HOW things will happen and focus on the fact that they WILL happen.
In essence this fits into TRUST as a coaching and life competency, Following on from the blog post I wrote recently on serving rather than selling on 2009 I really want to learn how to trust that if I am "On Message" to what is important to my followers/ readers/ clients that this will bring value to people which will bring the success to enable me to continue to offer this value.
I find sometimes that I have a huge urge to want to make things go faster, so 2009 and is about taking the right action and trusting that these actions, added together are the path to success. I can focus on outcomes and value to get to the right fork in the road.
I want to let go of more...stuff
One of the big themes I think which is coming out of the credit crunch and changed economic arena we are in is about being able to let go and is heralding a new thoughtful age. For me this is reviewing the physical stuff I have to make more emotional and sacred space to sit and think when I am at home. Less stuff = less to worry about. This also means getting less new stuff! Do I really need it?
I want to let go of having to do things fast to wanting to do things with joy
Throughout my life I have been pleased to get praise for being someone who can get through a huge amount of work and projects. I'm actually reflecting on what good that brings me in the longer term. In relation to the trusting also comes the courage to take time to stop and think and BE rather than DO. This equals more time to think, more time to plan and more focus in the work I do do. And how much more fun and valuable it will be as a result!
