Am I Congruent? 

For the past 8 months or so I have been working on and off with an amazing life coach. She has really helped me grow and see things differently in my life. Like everything else though, when it gets too difficult or I don't see immediate results, I give up or not try as hard. 

I just started a new training with her and she gave us some homework to do. She asked us (our group of amazing women) to write down the things we want in our life and in our business. Then we need to examine our reasons why we aren't going for these things (excuses) and the actions we are taking to achieve our wants. Talk about hard! I had to be honest and it is really just so simple: I am not doing the work. It is all well and good to say you WANT things, but unless you actually work for them, they don't magically appear. 

Everything I want in life and business: 

1. I want to be a leader in my business. I want to grow my team and be a part of the leadership team for our area.

2. I want to consistently work on self development by listening to one podcast a week or participate in a training.

3. I want to learn how to manage my need for self awareness and not feel guilty by taking the time to do it. 

4. I want to teach my children through example how to be patient and enjoy the little moments in life. 

5. I want to continue to have butterflies every time I see my hubby. I want to keep working at the love. 

My excuses:

1. This is the number one: I put everyone else's priorities above my own. I get lost in what they need or want. I don't stand up for myself and my needs. This is my biggest battle. 

2. If I show up for myself, who am I letting down? My husband? My kiddos? My friends? My business? 

3. I am tired 99% of the time. 

4. I have a 17 month old that is in to everything and likes to lick electrical sockets after he has mastered the art of taking out the outlet cover. 

List of actions I am currently taking:

1. Feeling overwhelmed and giving up and hiding behind Facebook. 

2. Playing Candy Crush 

3. Starting over once again. 

Are my actions congruent with my dreams? 

1. Do I really need to answer that question? I think it is obvious. My soul needs a kick in the ass.
