Staying the Course

by: Tabitha D. James (Tiny Tab)

Well hello new and old friends of the online space -- it is my hope that all has been well with and for you.  Not much time for small talk so I am diving right in on this one . . . . STAY THE COURSE -- life gets tough, yes . . things can often get very hectic and you somewhat feel like "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE" . . . keep going! I know this is easier said than done however your greatness, your destiny, your overflow is on the other side of your ability to PUSH THROUGH and STAY THE COURSE! 

Invest time, energy and treasures (yes money) this year on re-programming your mind. Don't allow negativity, pessimism, fear, insecurity, doubt or anything similar to block you from staying the course. Think about the people you look up to in your family, within your friend circle, celebrities, etc. ---- guess what? . . . GUESS! Okay, I'll tell ya -- they are NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU . . . Take the class, apply for the job, read the book, start the blog, contact the person, do the thing . . . whatever it is that you want to give a go . . . TRY IT! There are no failures in this life just a plethora of learning opportunities and chances.  Are you going to program the GPS of your life or just ride aimlessly and end up wherever; the choice is yours!

Hey Tab! Any suggestions for investing in self?

Glad you asked! Just a moment ago I challenged you to spend time, energy and treasures investing in you. Below are THREE ways you can invest in yourself this year so that you ensure you are #StayingTheCourse -- Best Wishes! 

1) STOP spending time on things that do not matter; if it is not connected to who you want to become or it does not benefit your life holistically . . . it does not deserve your time! Period! 

2) Take care of yourself; I am not just talking about mani/pedi dates and brunch; I am also referencing therapeutic activities, reading, thinking, being alone, dealing with trauma, avoiding negativity and addressing situations that need attention. No more ignoring yourself and your needs! 

3) INVEST IN YOU! Just maybe you skip a pair of shoes, an expensive dinner or a wild trip with friends and spend those funds on getting some "self help" -- maybe it's time for structured therapy, maybe you need to take a course or attend a conference, maybe you want to get a coach or expert professional to help you in career or business planning. Add value this year! 

Don't let 2020 be another year of saying "this is my year" or "new year, new me" when you aren't really doing the work; time out for that -- let's get to it! If you need an accountability partner or someone to talk through some plans with, my calendar still has a few complimentary spaces, click here to secure your spot! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
