You are resourceful
I am so excited to write about how much admiration and love that I have for you! I know who you are and the challenges that you have experienced in your life. It hasn’t been easy but here you are! You have done some amazing things in your life and I am so proud of you!
You have used all of the resources that you could find, create and incorporate into yourself so you could both survive and excel.
You are beautiful exactly the way you are. Sometimes however we need a reminder that there are 100’s or 1000’s of other resources available to us that perhaps we aren’t even aware of yet that could propel us in new directions, to a higher standard or more happiness. As fabulous as you are, you can be even better…feel even better…feel more like “you”.
Most of the time, we utilize resources more subconsciously which is great BUT how about we begin utilizing and recognizing the resources that we are using and have available to use more consciously.
Let’s examine this example. You have a project due at work and you often procrastinate and then experience stress when you rushed at the last minute. This is no longer acceptable to you.
Step 1-Understand the task
Step 2-Create a timeline of steps needed to complete the task
Step 3-Look at the typical resources that you use to complete the task
Step 4-Find 3 new resources that will support you in getting the task completed on time and done well
Here are a few examples of becoming more resourceful that could be used in this situation:
1-Spend your lunchbreak working on your project for 30 of your 60 minutes. This has given you the reward of getting out of the office and feeling good about what you have accomplished.
2-When given a new project, get up an hour earlier and brainstorm while running on the treadmill then writing down all of your great ideas after. You honored your body for exercising and have a created new ideas regarding your project.
3-Ask a loved one to join you to brainstorm, practice your presentation or to critique your plan. This rewards you with increased connection to your loved one & improves your project.
The pattern that you may notice is that you are using the resources around you that help you enjoy life more by connecting with others, building a healthy body and taking a moment for yourself.
