Over my summer hols, I listened to Tony Robbins - yes, I overloaded on american self-help. Some useful, some already forgotten. But...the one thing that I've really kept up is a weekly goals list.
I get so busy with my school todo list that I forget what's really important. So now, every sunday I write my new to do list. I have 7 columns with the goals, the reason why I want to meet the goal and the criteria to show I've met it.
Examples of my life Goals:
-To become an ‘outstanding’ teacher so that I know I’m giving the very best I can to my pupils and inspiring them to be passionate about learning and life.
-To become an author/entrepreneur, developing creativity and confidence in children, so that I can further my life’s purpose and live my dreams.
-To maintain a healthy, active lifestyle so that I can be the empowered, energetic, alive, confident, driven person I really am.
-To look forward to social situations, including public speaking so that I can be truly free to be myself – free from the fear that will hold me back no longer.
-To connect with friends and loved ones, giving to them as they give to me, because I know that this will enrich my life experience as well as theirs.
You get the message. Every week, I set myself 3 small tasks relating to each one of my seven goals. For example, if I'm looking at my healthy living goal I might set myself the task of running once, going to a class once, doing a dvd once.
I think for people who have SA and work full time, this is really important. I find it really easy to ignore my SA until the horrible panicked situations, and then just brush it under the carpet after the event. And well...NO! I don't want to live like that! So I have my tasks to do towards recovery every week - like maybe practising positive body language, or practising a speech, or practising talking to a parent...whatever. I think that even if you did one little thing per week towards helping rid yourself of SA, it's better that nothing. And if you did a tiny thing every day, just imagine where you'd be in a year.
If you're not into this idea, please feel free to ignore. If you're someone like me that loves to oganise, try it. I feel so good when I tick off my tasks - much better than ticking off a normal to do list- because these 'to dos' are life-changing! These things will change your life if you continue to do them. And that's what I tell myself...
