However, there is that in-between time.  After giving an almost herculean effort to achieve an important goal, there is a sense of victory, but also a sense of loss. There is even a sense of emptiness, sometimes.  I have experienced this and I see it with my clients, too. When you finish the thing that has occupied so much space in your head and your heart, there is a void.  I sometimes find myself grieving a bit, too when I finish something important.

I use to worry about this. I would think- “What is the matter with me?” I even felt guilt. I thought I should be supremely happy and when I would go through sadness after achievement, I frankly, could not understand myself.

What I have learned is that this is part of the cycle. I see it in myself and my clients. Recognizing that sadness is also a part of the goal achievement cycle helps give a person perspective.  I go through it every time I finish a project, finish a book, or any other important goal. I give myself space and time. I don’t try to talk myself out of it. I honor my feelings and allow my emotions to unfold. I am gentle with myself. I practice excellent self-care. I take baths, listen to soothing music, read books for entertainment, and doodle in my journal.

When you are ready, you can move on to what’s next.

What you need to almost guarantee success is burning desire. Authors W. Clement Stone and Napoleon Hill assure us that without burning desire, you will not achieve a high level of success. Burning desire is a rare thing. Most people do not dare to cultivate a burning desire for anything because the second you allow a burning desire, there a fears that get churned up. “What if I can’t do it?” or “I don’t know how to make it happen.” or “What will people think?” are some fear related thoughts that may arise for you.

Why is it important to cultivate burning desire for your goal or goals? Burning desire is what carries you through when things go wrong or very, very slow. Burning desire keeps you going. Without burning desire you could end up stopping just when things are about to break open. Burning desire assures that you will cross the finish line.

If you have a goal and you feel like you have lost that burning desire or never really had it in the first place, what do you need to do to get it?  First, look at the real reason, the real why. This is why you want the goal. What difference will your dream make in your life and the lives of others?  Next, let yourself be filled with burning desire. Think about your goals as if they are really happening. See yourself achieving each phase of the goal. What does that feel like? Be the energy of your goal. It takes some practice, but as everyone who has ever achieved worthwhile goals realizes- it is worth the effort.

Often, fast is good. The reason fast is better than slow, is that momentum is on your side. Think about the time you decided that today is the day you clean your garage, basement, etc., after waiting for weeks or even months. You get going- and a few hours later, you are done. You wonder why you spent months thinking about doing it or even doing little bits and pieces of the job.

Here is another example. I enjoy writing. I write when I am inspired and I easily write several hundred words without feeling it is difficult. One weekend, I decided to challenge myself and see how much I could write over the two day weekend. I wrote over 18000 words. It didn’t feel hard. I still went out for dinner, washed clothes, and had time to relax. This was, by far, the most I had written over two days.

And one more example, when I lived in Wisconsin after I was first married, we owned a very large lot along with our house. We had two garages- a brand new garage, and an old, rickety garage. We could not tear down the old garage because it was right on the property line and if we tore it down, we would not be able to rebuild. For two years I stared at that garage. It had several decade’s worth of peeling paint.

Finally, I decided I was going to do something about it. I had never painted anything. I researched how to do everything and gathered my supplies.  My neighbors laughed at me because I was trying to rescue something so old and dilapidated.  My daughter Sonja was a year old and refused to stay in her playpen outside. So I scraped paint while holding her in one arm- for one whole day. Then I primed the next day- for the whole day (holding her in one arm). The third day, I painted the whole day (with my daughter in one arm).  I set my daughter down once- and she ran through the paint pan and I had little colored footprints on the sidewalk. I did not feel tired.  I was energized even though my arms ached. The 4^th day, I had new garage doors installed with openers.  A few weeks later,  a relative stopped by and asked when we replaced the old garage and put up a new garage. She was in disbelief when my husband said, “Sheri painted it.” I know that if I had stopped at any point, the project would have bogged down and I could have been looking at an incomplete, half done job for another two years.

Start first with your breath. A deep breath helps create a pause between external stimuli and your response. Decrease the noise around you. Close your eyes- if you can- even for a moment. Ground yourself- feel your feet on the floor. Slow down your breathing. Imagine your muscles relaxing- especially your neck, your shoulders, your hands, behind your eyes, and your forehead.

This focus on the physical will calm your thoughts and help you center yourself. You can then, choose a deliberate response rather than a reaction.

Choose a mantra- all is well, peace, God is within me, Let go-let God…. whatever works for you. Use it to maintain inner peace- even during turmoil.

What techniques do you use to maintain inner peace?

How many times have you received terrific intuitive guidance and great ideas for the next move or steps in your life… you get excited- you do some research… and then fear pops in and you stop in your tracks and decide- “well I am comfy right here, right now” and you put it off again. Ask yourself- if I keep on doing what I am doing right now- where will I be in six months? a year? two years? 5 years? Yes, I have talked with people who have played the waiting game with their goals for 5 or more years. Be courageous… do something today to move you closer to the life you really want.

All you need is to act on one good choice and you will create an energetic movement in your life that results in many good decisions. What is that one good choice for you right now? What is your catalyst. Take a few minutes and write down what you want… then look at it- and write down what you really, really want- it is not always what you think at first.

For example- a person might say- I want to make more money- but what does that mean? More money could be an extra $50 a month- or more money could mean enough money to go beyond struggling- beyond survival mode- and into more than enough- a money place where you can breathe easily and take on the projects that you want to do in life. See the difference.

Take a few minutes to get really clear about what you really, really want… then (you probably guessed what I am going to say next) act on it. Take action.

My new Success Builder Pak  which includes one on one time with me can be the spark to help you move into action towards what you really want.

Develop the confidence to take action and be decisive.  Learn more…

My heart breaks when I see people struggling in their small businesses and I always want to help.

Throughout my career, I have offered free introductory coaching sessions to people. Many of these people become my clients and go on to grow their businesses, write books, and see an impact in their lives. And there are often people who do not have the money for business coaching.

Every week, I talk to entrepreneurs (many live in third world countries or areas that are really struggling economically).  

I decided that I want to coach 10 struggling entrepreneurs/small biz owners throughout the globe with my in-depth one on one coaching process- the same process that my clients pay me $3000 for- and I need your help to do it. This process is time intensive and the funding I am looking for ($4700)- covers 50% of the cost of the program for each person for one month. I am donating the rest myself.

My mottos:  Be Free, Be Happy. Be the Inspiration. Be Bold. Boldly pursue a life of meaning and passion.

Feeling stuck with some limiting beliefs or “old stories” playing around in your head?

You can transcend old stories by using a very simple, yet effective method-  an affirmation:

Close your eyes- put your hand over your heart, take a few deep breathes.

Say “ I am now completely free of all of my old stories. I am transcending them now. I am moving to a higher level of consciousness. I am free now from any limiting beliefs, any old stories that I am consciously aware of and any that are below the surface on the unconscious level. I am completely free right now.”

Did you shift? Use that new sense of freedom to step into action.  Move into action. It is okay to try things and everything does not have to be perfect. You are not going to have a great inspired life if you don’t get out there and act on your inspiration.

Warmest,

Sheri
