How Do I "Check My GROUND?"
You are going to ask 5 questions that you will answer with a ONE word each.
One word answer because it's just hard to lie to yourself without the extra words for an explanation or excuse (See my Ex-Energy Series)
Answer These Now:
- How is my energy around this challenge?
- How committed am I (judging from my continuous efforts)?
- How stable are my positive emotions about this challenge?
- How good is
the timing to do this right now?
- How helpful is my environment right now?
If you told the truth, you just uncovered the one or more foundational factors keeping you stuck on whatever it is you are trying to do.
Energy: Low, High, Wiggly? If you energy isn't at least medium when you hit a challenge, you have no momentum and cannot budge it. If it's low, ask yourself why that is? And what can you do about it?
Commitment: None, Low, Off/On,
Solid? If the ground beneath your feet does not have a SOLID commitment, you will stay stuck. Your head will cooperate with you and deliver up self-sabotage to keep you right where you are. And no, how much you SAY you 'I want it', is not the measure of commitment. Judge your commitment by your ACTIONS not your words.
Positive Emotions: Stable, Wiggly, None? If you don't consistently feel good about the OUTCOME of whatever you are attempting to do, you will not be able to put in the work. Check your GROUND is about your WHY. Connect with that why. Be willing to end a commitment that you know you don't feel good about.
Timing: Off, On, Great, Sucky? There are times when you cannot let sucky timing stop you and times when it means you should wait. Do you have a habit of bailing and using timing as an excuse? If so, stick.
Do you have any control over the timing of what you choose to do? If so, exert it. Just know that there is NO SUCH THING AS PERFECT TIMING.
To get moving toward your dream, your health, getting out of debt or even having great sex, you first Check Your GROUND.
