Week 6 - Visting Fellow Travelers

The Trip
Sometimes all you need is a great story or some encouraging words to spark the rocket that sends you shooting straight towards your dreams.

We were all very grateful when a former client of Dress for Success paid us a visit. Carol Graham, a Weight Loss Consultant and Life Coach for Jenny Craig, created a great wave of encouragement when she came to visit. Her beautiful words and personal experience allowed us to relate to someone who was able to overcome most of the problems we are currently facing. It was uplifting and simply what the doctor ordered. Carol had great advice and you could feel it and almost see it coming straight from her heart.

 

Your Guide

• Get out of the "I just have to do something/anything" mindset
• It takes the same amount of energy to do what you like and what you don't like, so why not do what you like?
• We find ourselves focusing on what we can't do, focus on what you can!
• Take the baby steps and with the work and strength you'll reach your goals
• Don't stop! You're in your meantime.

As Carol spoke you could see the effect she was having on all of us. It was extremely inspirational. She gave us two assignments to complete.
The first was to create a list of what you like to do and also what you are good at. What is the same on both lists? Find your passion!

The other was to make a promise to yourself to [think it] [speak it] [live it]. She wanted to stress the importance of knowing what you are capable of doing. Don't be afraid, let go, let her out! My favorite piece of advice was a very powerful statement, "They say the sky is the limit but that is not true. There is space beyond the sky, get there!" Carol Graham. Take the time to complete these two assignments because they will allow you to create a better relationship with yourself. You need to make sure you make time to listen to yourself. To realize your desires, your dreams and what you deserve.

ASK YOURSELF



STAND UP AND SAY IT!
