08 WELLBEING B E B R AV E ENOUGH TO BE YOURSELF” - MARIE FORLEO 3 EASY STEPS FOR WINTER MOTIVATION 1. Plan Your Perfect Life
 What would your life look like if you had absolutely no restrictions? Now plan the first few steps to take you there. Schedule these first steps over the next few weeks, including one TODAY – Get Excited!! 2. Focus On 3 Projects Choose three most important things you would like to do and focus on them exclusively. Focus on getting them completed, to the exclusion of all other things. Discipline yourself to not look at your emails or social media each morning before you have applied yourself to at least one task that is very important to getting these projects done. Keep the focus and take action. DISCIPLINE gives you back more time in your life to do the things you love. 3. Think About The Benefits, Not The Difficulties Instead of thinking about how hard something is, think about what you will get out of it, focus on how good you will feel when you have achieved it, see how happy you will be. The benefits of why you are doing it will help energise you and propel you forward. Set yourself up to win with great systems and structure and make yourself answerable and accountable to the goals you have set. Take daily action otherwise your goals are just words on paper. Make the most of winter time. What is one step towards your exciting future that you could take today? Winter Motivation with Karen Sydnè This month we hit mid-winter... what does Winter mean to you? Is it a dark, dreary, depressing gloomy season...or is it an opportunity to do things differently from previous seasons? even more fun by teaming up with a friend. Learn to think differently, break some rules, push your limits and never, ever give up! I believe it is the latter, as every season has something great and unique to offer - do the seasonal things that are happening right now, and enjoy winter. The responsibility for the life you have and how you live it is totally in your hands. Take some action towards getting your ideal life - it could be as simple as picking up the phone and booking in for those classes you have always wanted to take... music, art. Or maybe it's joining the gym, going to a therapist or counsellor, getting a coach to help you make the changes you want, or maybe you need help to start that business you've always dreamed of. It also brings you to the halfway mark of the year. How are those New Year's resolutions or goals you set going? Approximately 85% of people who set New Year’s resolutions or goals never achieve them. Now that the days are shorter, make the most of this extra time you are spending inside and work on your goals, so you can be one of the 15% who do achieve them. Instead of going into hibernation and hiding away in your comfy clothes, set a challenge for yourself; get out there and do something new, and make it The most important friend in your life is yourself, so take the time to give to YOU. Booking a session with a coach is giving to yourself, investing in yourself and your growth, by being your best friend. Personal development is a major time-saver; the better you become, the less time it takes to achieve your goals. Personal development is having the belief that you are worth it. The more you learn and achieve, the happier your life will be, which results in you having more to give to all those around you. To excel at and achieve your goals takes a mindset that believes that you will, and knows that you can. Keep motivated over winter; Marlborough has so much to offer and lots you can do with a friend, like great walking and cycling tracks around the river, or my favourite track from the Grove Road bridge out to Spring Creek. There are no excuses; you don’t have to worry about the traffic with these awesome cycling tracks. Walk the Wither Hills - it's so good for your soul and the spectacular sight leaves you in awe of nature's beauty. We live in a stunning paradise, something to be really grateful for, and something very special to share with friends. Want to stay indoors? Head to Stadium 2000 for an invigorating workout or a swim, sauna, steam room, or spa... heaven. Finish with a coffee, smoothie or bite to eat. You could then nip across the car park and take in a movie, visit the library or aviation centre... no need for winter boredom. Think differently. Instead of thinking, “I hate the cold, it makes me feel so unmotivated.” Change this to, “I love the crisp, freshness of the winter chill biting at my ears and nose, making me feel invigorated and alive!” Karen Sydnè Helping People Succeed T H E K I C K S TA R T COACHING NO EXCUSES PROGRAMME 3 ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS THAT WILL: • Teach you the secret to becoming unstoppable & getting what you want. • Develop more confidence & self belief than you knew was possible. • Stop your fears from ruling your life.
