After the party ends, and Monday begins, keep hold of the energy, the bond of celebration. You are not alone in this journey. The challenge of the day is surely one that one of us has faced at least once before. Often the hardest part is asking for help.
“What are your options and what are you choosing?”
The following have helped me:
- Take a deep breath, as many as you need.
- Settle in, get comfortable and a sheet of paper.
- Write down the options you can see
- Write down the outcomes you imagine- let your mind go
- Get up and take a break to clear your mind
- Look at your list again with fresh eyes, you’ll notice some are not valid, some are just fear.
- Pick your top option and research how to make it happen.
- Create a list of next steps and questions before you reach out for a assistance.
99% of the time others are happy to be of assistance because it takes a village and we all have different gifts to share! Here’s a fabulous way to reach out:
“Hi ____, I’ve been looking into ways to do ______, I’m thinking of moving forward with ____. I know you have a lot of experience in this, do you have time this week to give me feedback on my idea?”
The energy of collaboration is held within each of you, no matter the challenge it can be met together.
You are not alone.
