Sunday check-in.

You can't do it all. But you will believe that you need to do it all. Especially when you are zoomed in to the unending list of tasks at hand. And yes, they all are urgent and all are connected.

Hmmm, interesting thought.

Try this. Zoom out to the vision of yourself operating in this way.
Is it sustainable?
Is it reasonable?
What are the options?
What are the attachments?
What brought you to this place?
Where is this taking you?
If you had no vested interest in this, how would you look at it?

Lead yourself well in the questions that do not have easy answers.

And as much as possible, be intentional about seeing out the joy and humour of being alive on this messy, beautiful planet.

Saturday check-in with your big, beautiful, brilliant life.
(It is, you know. Your life is all of those descriptors.)

Have you been too busy or too distracted or too zoomed in to what is right in front of you that you have neglected time to zoom out to the bigger vision of who you are, and who you are becoming.

Please, never lose sight of the need to check in with who you are (includes values, meaning, purpose, strengths, love language, working genius, preferences of environment where you can be your favourite self, how you talk to yourself, and how you want to keep growing and maybe about a dozen more details).

Okay, that is way TOO MUCH processing for a Saturday morning, yes?

How about this? Just for this Saturday, notice what fills you and what depletes you and savour the moments of 'filling'.

In summary, you are the Chief Executive Officer of your own life. Take time to execute what matters to your soul.

Lead yourself well.

You made it through the week. Barely or smashingly?

It's November.
Notice what is happening in your mind-brain-body connection and adjust accordingly. Even a small action is a significant change. (What will it be?)

(Also, engage in a wise double-click on the word 'balance'. Is that even the word you really want to keep using?)

Lead yourself well, especially if this is a bleak November for a multitude of reasons.

Do you what you can. As you can.
Right foot. Left foot. Breathe.
Right foot. Left foot. Breathe.

Lead yourself well.

People who really want to make a difference in the world realize that how they lead themselves is one of the greatest ways to influence a better future for all.

All growth is personal growth.
We are not islands or robots or machines to be programmed and reprogrammed. We are not vessels rife for the latest trends or beliefs according to the input we choose.
There is work to do.
Serious, fun, life-giving, transformative, meaningful, and intentional work.

Lorraine Richmond Leadership Coaching is committed to holding gutsy, authentic, accountable space for individuals or teams, who are willing, ready, and able to embrace the discomfort of personal growth and development SO THAT they can actualize the difference they want to make in our messy, beautiful world amid the stress, chaos and all-things beyond our control.

Lead yourself well.
