It begins with taking ownership of our thoughts, decisions, and actions.
Are you happy with the ownership you are taking in your personal and professional life?
If not, when was the last time you did an ownership checkup?
Maybe you’ve had the feeling for a while that something is impeding your progress. Perhaps you’ve been indulging in more ice cream than usual, skipping workouts for marathon Netflix sessions, or arguing with your partner more than you would like. We all have those times when we realize we’ve stopped putting our best foot forward.
But have you taken the time to figure out what is driving your unnecessary stress and causing you to present yourself in a way that isn’t making you proud?
There’s a difference between just making yourself feel better for the moment and doing the things that are going to help you do better.
Zoning out to your favorite episode of NCIS makes you feel good, but the good feeling of that kind of stress release is fleeting. And inside we know that.
We are the owners of everything that happens in our lives, but we cannot fix what we don’t know exists. Maybe it’s time to have an honest conversation with the CEO of your life by taking a hard look in the mirror.
Today on Career Confessions, I’m sharing the 2 questions I ask myself to make sure I’m leaning into the things that will assure I do better and not just feel better.
Listen in to hear how you can take ownership of your thoughts and actions by seeking out the support systems that will put you on a solid path to better long-term outcomes and a brighter future.
