“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear-not absence of fear.”- Mark Twain

‣ Visualize getting to yes. In any scenario, the goal is to find a way to feel good and say YES! I did it. What does that look like to you?

‣ What is your biggest fear? Each of us holds ourselves back worrying about something. What is it that keeps you up at night? Imagine that it just vanished away. What does that feel like? Every time you self-doubt remember what it felt like to feel the weight lifted.

‣ Explore the unknown. Raise your hand, volunteer before you are ready. Why not you? Everyone had to learn sometime. Take advantage of your skills and love to learn what you don’t know already.

‣ Savor Your Victories: Life rushes by and we tend to dismiss our wins, as “oh it was nothing”. On the contrary! This is your time to celebrate all the amazing things you have accomplished and tap into that feeling.

‣ Lasting Impression: How did others respond to your actions in a difficult situation? What did you put on rewind and what you change? Don’t dwell on the rewind learn from it and move on.

‣ Enjoy the ride: If life was perfect-how boring! Each time you try something you make progress and along the way you are creating the “I CAN” belief in yourself.

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.”

- Diane Ackerman

‣ Believe. You might be thinking “I am the only one who has to face this, or do this or…fill in the blank”. Know and believe you are not alone. Others have taken this path and succeed before you.

‣ Accept Imperfection: The notation that life is like the movies…well we all know it isn’t. You can create your own story with an ending that is even better if you allow yourself to be good enough just as you are.

‣ Ask For Help: You have a best friend? She is only a call (or text!) away. Don’t think you are a hero for going it by yourself. The true heroine gets help when she needs it.

‣ Be Thankful: Whenever we start to feel bad about a situation we tend to forget about all that we have in our lives that is going well. When we express gratitude it immediately makes us feel invincible.

‣ Be Generous: You have so many gifts that you are taken for granted. That skill that everyone comes to you for…use it to help someone in need. Watch how it makes you feel inside!

‣ Feel the Adrenaline Rush: If you haven’t exercised out in awhile this is the time. It gives clarity, builds stamina and you will forget everything you worried about and feel totally confident after accomplishing anything on your schedule.

‣ Visualize getting to yes: In any scenario, the goal is to find a way to feel good and say YES! I did it. What does that look like to you? Share enthusiasm and your leadership vision with your team.
