Be Kind to Yourself When You Feel Fear. Love, Not Anger, Inspires Right Action. (Tama Kieves)

Extreme Self Care is an attitude, an inner resource, and approach to living your best life by giving you permission to dramatically upgrade your life. It's an important practice that can positively impact your business and career.

To Maximize Your Progress, Take Time To Re-Energize

Many of my clients, and other WISE women I have been talking with, express a need to drive themselves harder than before as they deal with the challenges brought on with the current economy. While I can certainly relate, I want to remind you to work smarter, not harder. Now is the perfect time to look for ways to creatively reinvent your business and/or begin repositioning your career development goals. Instead of retreating in fear, or worse... standing still..... open your heart and mind to the opportunities.

Seek out those environments that allow you to think creatively and afford you a way to re-energize - that means doing less "work" and focusing time for relaxation and reflection.

Focus on the Power of Less

Instead of taking on more, the Power of Less (as defined by Leo Babauta) is ..."the fine art of limiting yourself to the essential in business and in life.

The 5 Power of Less Principles are:
1) Set limitations
2) Choose the essential
3) Simplify
4) Focus on the present
5) Create new habits (that includes extreme self care)
6) Start small

These principles are the foundation for building a WISE Platform for Success. By choosing to incorporate them into your Personal Power Plan, you will learn how focusing on less can lead you to be more powerful in different areas of your life. In other words, for hard results.... use a soft approach... be kind to yourself!

Psst.... THE SECRET to making lasting changes .....that will actually improve your life is Principle #5: Create New Habits.

WISE Challenge: This month: Select one habit for the Challenge, write down your plan, post your goal publicly, report on your progress (easy to do if you are part of The Collaborative) otherwise find and identify your inner circle of excellence supporters.
