Three Reasons Celebrating Your Many Accomplishments Is Critical to Your Success.
One of the keys to success, I share with my clients is the importance of celebrating your wins and achievements on a regular basis. Not only does it change your mindset, it also, feels great physically, and also reinforces those positive attitudes and behaviours you need to achieve your goals, dreams and wishes. This is a great article, as it highlights how celebrating your successes can support you when you face a new challenge or opportunity and help you rise to the occasion. Celebrating your successes increases your energy and helps you create a track record of success that will motivate you towards taking more of those actions needed when creating more of the life you want, especially, when the rewards you are looking for and you deserve become a reality.

Creative Problem Solving Part 3: Re-Imagine Your Idea.
When facing challenges and obstacles, it is easy to get stuck in the accepted way of doing things, following the social norm, especially, when it comes to finding the solutions to problems. However, we all have an innate creativity that is unique to each of us and often, this gets overlooked, in favour of social norms. I like to ask my clients, "what is your unique way of doing things? It's when we tap into our unique way of doing things that solutions to problems are creatively reimagined and become original, as they come from an original source, 'you.' There is no-one else like you, so why not share those creative ideas within. This article is helpful, as it specifically, refers to using this step to generate a wide variety of ideas and this can encourage your inner creative genius to a more original form of creative brainstorming and, creative thinking techniques where you are encouraged to come up with some wild, crazy and wacky ideas.

Many people tend to compare what’s going on in their life, right now with the way it used to be, or a fantasy of the way they’d like it to be. As a result, they’re not grounded in reality and can easily become frustrated or depressed. They tend to overreact and dramatise their story in a way that makes them, the victim of something that is happening TO them. The first step is to stop and objectively assess the situation, as best you can. Objectivity means ‘even minded’. It means you’re anticipating the challenges you face and mitigating your response.

7 Steps to Break the ‘Perfectionism, Procrastination, Paralysis Cycle.
Hands up if you're in the Perfectionist, Procrastinator Paralysis Cycle? I know for me, my perfectionist can lead me into procrastination and it's a killer, it just stops things getting done. The good news is, there is a way out. And, like this article says, "It's time to lower the bar. Lower... no, keep going. There." It's about lowering the bar, so as not to be so hard on yourself, as far as expectations go. Getting stuff done can remain the goal, but not if it's at the expense of your personal health and self-care. That just sets up a cycle of anxiety on top of all the other cycles, already on repeat. If you're ready to let go of that anxious feeling when facing your never ending to do list in your brain, where even, the simplest task becomes overwhelming, then, breaking the pattern of perfectionism--> procrastination --> paralysis cycle is a good first step.
