Your Personal Empowerment Dashboard
Recurring question: what can I do to get motivated and get things actually moving in my life? Or said another way, when I feel stuck how do I get out of first gear?
Step one. Consider the fact that while you may be in first gear, there are many other gears available to you! This is a significant point. The reason you may not feel that you can get out of first gear may simply be that you are not actually offering yourself a genuine choice of moving into second gear.
And to be naturally motivated, the choice needs to come from inside you. It needs to be a real world possibility in your life in the here and now.
So what keeps you from seeing more of your available choices? Well, are you receiving enough information from yourself about moving forward into second gear? Or are you focused primarily, if not exclusively, on your thoughts and the resulting frustration of not moving forward?
Focusing your attention on your thoughts would be like limiting yourself to, say, the fuel gauge while driving. Don’t get me wrong, the fuel gauge is important. But it’s certainly not the whole picture. To actually shift gears, you need to take in quite a bit more information in real time. You need a tachometer worth of information!
Similarly, although you continuously offer yourself a great deal of information, by-and-large you may only be focused on what your thoughts are telling you. And that focus on your thoughts to the exclusion of other internal communication is likely to limit your choices. Or, more accurately, limit your view of your choices.
From this perspective, a simple solution to get yourself into second gear, to move forward, to get motivated, is to allow yourself to be open and aware of what information you are already, continuously, offering yourself.
For example, are you in touch with your feelings and emotions? How about your intuition and imagination? Are you taking advantage all of that content rich information?
Once you start to take advantage of the broad spectrum of information available through your own personal empowerment dashboard, you may find that shifting gears in your life can be quite easy, even to the point of being effortless!
