I am aware more than ever before of the importance of consciously using my time and making only the agreements I intend to keep.
I see many verbal agreements and promises that never make it to completion. Be careful of the things you agree to that you don't write down. Agreements in writing are far more likely to occur.
Showing up for ourselves
August 15th, 2011
Lately I have had a number of clients not show up for phone sessions. I know they would not miss a meeting with their boss. I am guessing a meeting to do a Weekly Review seems like something not so important. What may not be obvious is that every meeting with someone else is first of all a commitment with myself to show up. I experience and know for myself that when I do not show up for myself (or someone else) I pay a big price in the area of self trust. And while not an immediately apparent correlation, it does affect my level of energy, my respect for myself and ultimately my ability to complete. I recently went a few weeks without doing a Weekly Review. While I consciously kept renegotiating the scheduled review with myself on my calendar, I could feel the pull on my attention that I was not doing what I have as an agreement with me, i.e. regular Weekly Reviews. What we tell ourselves we will do matters.
