21 Shifts That Tranformed the Way I Live And Work

 

These aren’t quick fixes. They’re shifts in how I think, choose, and show up: for myself and for others.


Here are 21 that have made the biggest difference in my life:

 

  1. Getting a full night’s sleep    
  2. Meditating and exercising daily    
  3. Cutting back on sugar, alcohol, and caffeine    
  4. Focusing on bold, meaningful, "impossible" goals:
    • ONE key professional goal and ONE key personal goal (thank you Bob Proctor & Dr. Benjamin Hardy)    
  5. Changing my self-talk to positive (Thank you Louise Hay)    
  6. Focusing on being better: delivering higher value and service     
  7. Making time for solitude:  deep thinking, creativity and rest   
  8. Clarifying my personal and professional values    
  9. Getting over myself and showing up (including on social media!)    
  10. Building empathy in relationships and conversations (thank you Chris Voss)   
  11. Learning to be an active listener    
  12. Looking for the good, even in challenges and disappointments    
  13. Staying open and curious instead of resisting change    
  14. Accepting that everyone is equal and on their own journey    
  15. Not judging or trying to “fix” anyone   
  16. Approaching life from love, not fear    
  17. Getting clarity on my future self and living from that vision    
  18. Preparing my day the night before    
  19. Preparing my week every Sunday    
  20. Asking for help and receiving support    
  21. Prioritising personal growth, self-mastery and peace-of-mind

 

Am I doing these perfectly? 
Not even close. But I keep getting better and showing up. And these shifts have changed everything.


If any of these resonate, I hope they serve you too.
