Periscope Life Coaching

We’re in the final months of 2022. In fact, there are only 7 weeks left of this year. I bet there’s something you’ve been wanting to do all year, maybe even for a few years now, but for whatever reason, you just haven’t executed on it. Is it due to fear of failure? Maybe you doubt yourself and whether or not you’ll be successful. Could simple procrastination be at fault?

If you’re waiting for “the perfect time” to start working towards your goals, understand that no time will be “perfect.” But, the “right” time is NOW. Life is fleeting. It’s flying by, and it seems the older we get, the quicker the years go by. So, stop putting off what you want to do, create some urgency as tomorrow is not promised to us, and take a step towards your goals TODAY.

Stop thinking about the outcome of your efforts before you even get started! Set a goal and create a plan to accomplish it. Then, just get started with small steps until you achieve your goal. Try not to get overwhelmed with the big-picture, just set small milestones for yourself and celebrate the journey as you accomplish each step.

🚨Freedom Friday!! 🚨

Happy Friday everyone! In my experience, everyone has things they need to let go of. Oftentimes, we tend to hold on to our past, hold grudges against people who have wronged us, or maybe we can’t seem to eliminate limiting beliefs that are preventing us from reaching our full potential. Whatever the case may be, it’s time to release and become free of those things/that negativity that’s been weighing you down.

Today, I want you to practice becoming free of your “fear of the unknown”. With the state of the world today - like the current war taking place between Ukraine and Russia, being in the midst of inflation, gun violence at an all time high, etc. - it’s natural to be scared and worried about not knowing what the future holds. However, try to release that fear, as these are things that are beyond your control, and instead replace that fear with being mindful and strategic about things within your control. For instance, with regard to inflation, figure out what YOU can do to combat it. Try setting and sticking to a budget while prioritizing your needs. Things that are a luxury, and not a necessity, can be cut back so you have more money for the things you truly need.

Also, while you can’t control the increase in violence taking place lately, consider creating a plan for your family so you’re at least more prepared if you’re ever in danger.

The bottom line is, while fear of the unknown is understandable, it does nothing but cause you anxiety and stress when you’re unable to control the outcome anyway. Focus on what you can control, and what difference you can make in your portion of the world, and free yourself of the rest. Be cautious, but don’t let fear prevent you from living your life.
