CEO OF YOUR LIFE
How in charge are you of your life? You may think you are and I want to ask you….what part of your life are you dedicating to focusing on achieving your dreams?
Ceo of your life
How in charge are you of your life? You may think you are and I want to ask you….what part of your life are you dedicating to focusing on achieving your dreams? Most of us are making other people’s dreams come true, why? Often because we don’t really know what we want so we tend to go with the flow. This was me for the longest time.
It’s only been in the last few years that I decided I wanted to be the CEO of my own life. Which got me thinking about what it means to be a CEO. CEO’s of companies have a mission and a vision for the company. They have a structure for their employees and they are all working towards one common purpose, whether it is to have the best products, be innovative, make money, be the best in the industry. What did I want to be working towards? I wanted to be clear on what I wanted and what I wanted to do with my life.
Work on one thing in your life
You will find that once you start working on one thing in your life, it usually starts impacting everything else in your life. When I discovered coaching, I started working on my thoughts and questioning all the beliefs I had, especially not the ones that were serving me. I tell you, they were a mess. Slowly, I started thinking differently, which had me feeling better and from that space, I started showing up differently in all areas of my life. So you see, how working on one thing impacts your whole life?
I started getting a clearer idea of what I wanted in my life, which had me setting goals. I was always afraid to set goals, because what if I did not achieve them, I didn’t like the feeling of disappointment. But since I did a lot of thought work, disappointment does not bother me anymore. In fact, I now see it as a measurement, I know that what I am trying to work towards will take more work and I go for it.
Setting goals
Setting goals means you have to plan them, put them in your calendar and show up for the tasks that you have to do. So every morning, with a glance at my calendar I know what needs to be done that day. I have set my intention and I know what kind of results I want to create that day. This is super powerful. You are calm, you are more productive, focused and excited about what you want to create.
Now in order to do this, you are going to have to be disciplined. For a lot of people, this is not an easy one. We get distracted, our minds are a little like runaway toddlers, going off in all directions. But you can practice being disciplined. You have to decide what is important, what needs your attention and what not. This is where you have to be a strict CEO.
Imagine if a CEO of a phone company decided to look into selling books one day and the next, toys and so on. The company would not be focused on doing what they do best and that is manufacturing phones. There are times when we will be distracted by something important, but then you plan for it. You have to keep your focus on what you are wanting to achieve.

Focus
Now I know that because I have battled with health issues for the past few years, doing all of the above takes a serious amount of energy. If you don’t feel your best it is so much harder to create the results you want and to stick to your plans. So one of my goals was to work on my health, that meant changing my diet, resting when my body needed and moving when I could. But the most important thing was not beating myself up for not being able to do all things I really wanted. I had to focus and not allow anything that was energy sapping.
If you listen to your body and what it needs, it will reward you with more energy. Also if you do things that energise you, it helps. I know that if I have been around a lot of people, it depletes my energy. So I often spend time alone as this gives me energy. Every person is different, so find out what energises you.
