5 Keys to GUILT-FREE Success

Using the acronym G.U.I.L.T, below you'll find 5 simple keys to living guilt-free:

5: G = Get clear about what it is you really want. So often folks live their life in a state of as-soon-as, “As soon as I get that promotion”, “As soon as the kids are in school..out of school…married”, “As soon as I earn enough money”. What is it about those things you really want, and how can you build them into your life right now?

4: U = Up your energy. Energy is the foundation for everything you do. Every daily encounter either gives energy or drains it. Therefore, it’s imperative to continually replenish that energy reserve. Caring for yourself is not a luxury, especially in light of the fact that in the past 20 years leisure time has shrunk 40% and work time increased 15%. If you aren't caring for yourself how will you be able to take care of everyone else?

3: I = Identify what it is you are saying “Yes” and “No” to. Whenever you say yes to something, you automatically say no to something else, consciously or unconsciously. Saying no is not selfish. It’s not necessary to say no to everything, but rather to say yes to the RIGHT things. Guilt-Free No’s are tied to one’s goals and values.

2: L = Live your values. Values are not morals or principles; they represent your unique self and shape your actions. When values are incorporated into your daily life, work, and goals, life becomes inherently fulfilling. It also creates focus and energy.

1: T = Take time for family. While we can’t do EVERYTHING 100%, we CAN give 100% to what we’re doing right NOW. When you are working, work. When spending time with your family, be 100% present. Schedule specific time and events and then PROTECT that time the same as you would an important business meeting with your best client. Your family is worth it!

For more details about the choices we make, values and setting values based goals, see the Articles page of my website.

Re: Has anyone a good idea to sort this problem? Re: Has anyone a good idea to sort this problem? - HI Michelle....... Keys and cellphones always end up at the bottom of the purse! That happens to me and other woman most of the time, for sure. So I would say put it in the side zipper area inside of the purse. Most Purses have that compartment. That usually helps it separate from all the other bulky things we carry in our purses, like make-up- bag, day minders, hand santiizers (whatever!)

Re: Success Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
Success Strategies Success Strategies - How to get the results you want now? Success Strategies and Action Steps I have used are: The Power of Choice Where you are at this present moment, is exactly perfect from the choices you have made. If you want to be somewhere else, you have to decide clearly what that is (your goal/outcome) and create action steps to achieve this. The Power of Focus The book "The Power of Focus" by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, is one of my treasures in my Entrepreneur Library. If you focus on what you want versus what you do not want, your conscious and sub-conscious mind will direct attention to this. The movie, What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, explains this in detail about quantum physics and what we create in our lives. The Power of Commitment This is not about commitment to others. The first step is the commitment, your word, you make to yourself. Accountability and responsibility are additional success strategies and ingredients to creating the success, defined by you, that you want. The commitment to others reflects your integrity, your word and the team you work with. Co-workers, clients, yoru family, friends and community. My Success Acronyn in Success Breakthroughs(c) is: S pecific & self-directed U nlimited opportunities & possibilities C reate powerful outcomes C onsistent measureable results E xperience pwoerful transformation S olution and action-oriented S uccessful habits and outcomes Break Through to Powerful LIfestyle & Performance Choices Moira
