What One Area In Your Life Needs to Change Now?

 

Sara is a sharp woman. The average person would do anything to have her success, her life.

If she were to compare herself to most everyone else, she’s doing just fine. But that means looking backwards.

Sara is the kind of girl who looks forward and inward. And she knows she has a personal urgency on her hands.

The reality is she knows. Oh how she knows. And so much energy is spent not addressing the reality that something needs to change. And soon.

What is a Personal Urgency?

An area of your life that is critical to your success that has deteriorated and needs immediate attention. It’s become personal and now urgent.

What area do you need to take better care of right now in your life? The reality is there is one specific area that if you addressed right now, would make a dramatic difference in your life and potentially affect other areas as well.

It may be your health.

Your nutrition used to be a strength and it has slacked off. Not intentionally but is a far cry from what it used to be or should be in your life. This could also mean drinking too much for example. 

Your fitness now exists of one sit-up in the morning (getting out of bed) and walking to the car to get to work or to the fridge. You want and even need to be in better shape and even know it will help your nutrition goals.

It may be your work.

You simply don’t plan and just attack your day. You claim you don’t have time but you do because of how much time you actually waste if truth be told.

You’re not productive and use busy as a synonym but you know in your heart you could be more productive.

It may be your relationships.

Your marriage once vibrant is now stale. Not intentionally but life has taken over and that relationship needs to be revived.

Your children are not getting the time and attention they need. You’ve justified your actions but you know time is ticking and you’re going to regret not making the most of this time in their lives.

And those are just a few examples. Chances are something in you resonated with one of those examples or another one immediately came to mind.

If you were honest, you never meant for any of these areas to slide but the reality is you’re here now in a personal urgency to improve this key area immediately. And you may even feel you could improve in each of the above.

Yet one needs more attention above all of the others.

But first, why are you putting it off? Possible reasons:

Avoiding the Work – you know there’s going to be a lot of effort. And ironically, because you put it off yesterday, you have more work today.

Uncertainty – you’re unsure how to tackle it. And instead of doing the necessary research and effort to find out or create a plan, the uncertainty continues to push out doing something, anything.

Fear – nothing beats good old-fashioned fear to put something off. Being afraid of the unknown is a very real fear but often only in your head.

How do you know your personal urgency that needs to change right now?

1. You’re Simply Avoiding It

Nobody else may know but one day has turned into one week now into a month…

Unfortunately the thinking is “why do today what i could do tomorrow?”

You may not normally be an avoider but this area has a hold on you and it needs to change.

2. Others Are Hinting and / or Concerned

You not only hear the comments but you feel them. Others may not even know they’re getting through to you but it’s working far more than they even realize.

You may have even had a mini intervention and you told them you would change and meant it but here you are…

Or it may be in their joking that has just enough truth in it for you to get the point. Are you?

3. It’s Only Getting Worse

What used to be only in your head is now becoming progressively worse in a tangible way. Ugh.

It may be obvious by the weight and / or lack of exercise or your wife and / or kids have started to detach. Or it could be less obvious by just skating through your day settling for busy not really productive.

Closing Challenge…

So, has the one area you need to change in your life right now become obvious to you?

Have I raised awareness and a sense of urgency?

I truly hope so. Motivated, busy professionals need to be challenged sometimes especially in key areas that could have have exponential results if improved.

I want you to discover and develop your potential. But often it starts with one key area that needs to be revived and addressed.

Do something today. Right now.

Your decision may need to be to schedule a free 30 minute consultation to discuss making this an other changes in your life to reach your potential. If so, go to this link and I will contact you quickly.

But spend some time thinking today on an action plan to turn this personal urgency key area from a weakness to a strength.

Closing Question…

What is the one area of personal urgency in your life you need to change right now and what is the first thing you’re going to do to address it right now?
