A Breakthrough in Connecticut
Christmas eve has ended, and I am lying in bed reflecting on the day before it’s ligts out.
It was a great day spending time with the in laws for the first time here in Connecticut. I am very happy to have them in my life because of the values and family support they offer.
But the breakthrough occured before we even left brooklyn this morning.
My sister is getting married and has been struggling with the fact that her wedding is 9 months away and she has not been in the gym since we last trained a few weeks ago.
People tend to freak out when events like this occur. They feel so overwhelmed that no matter how much time they have, it’s never enough.
That’s a limiting belief that many require to drop. Freaking out and complaining about the situation will only make it worse and in the end you will be further away then where you started.
Here are the tips I gave jeanne to release her tension on the.wedding:
1. Cut the crap and focus on the end result. Stop worrying where you are and visualize where you want to be.
2. When you have a vision, write down goals you want to hit and break them down into smaller segments. Measure results at end of each month.
3. Stop making excuses why you aren’t going to the gym and eating healthy. Just accept you haven’t done what is necessary and move on.
Sometimes you have to be blunt and straight with people. Tell them what they need to hear and not what they want to hear.
So my objective, since it will be hard to physically coach her since distance, is to support her via phone and email to empower to complete small tasks.
I will keep you posted in how well she does with breakthrough methods via electronic means.
Do we all require a coach to physically be by our sides to accomplish great things, or is it possible to be great with mentoring skills via electronic means?
Dedicated to your results,
Greg Kalafatic
