Stop self-sabotage of your goals with emotional intelligence and the power of choice.

In some classes I teach, I ask participants to make a list of what they most wish were different in their life - The things they would most like to change. Then I ask them to raise their hands if they have ever wanted any of these things before - last year, two years ago or ever. Invariably they all answer yes.

Whether you call them New Year’s resolutions or just goals, chances are that one of the things you say you want keeps showing up on your wish list but somehow you never seem to achieve it.

You know what I mean. You say you want more balance but your work schedule is as overwhelming as ever. You say want better working relationships but you have more conflict than harmony. You say you want to be more fit but you never seem to find time for the gym or the secret to your ideal weight. Or you say this is the year you will be more confident but you never seem to be able to assert yourself. Stop for a moment and recognize what keeps showing up on your list.

Now relax and don’t beat yourself up. You are in good company. We all have some key issue that we never seem to make progress on. So how do you get past the stuck place and how can emotional intelligence help?

Getting unstuck is dead simple and requires these four things:

I’m back in time to wish you happy New Yew Year!

I dropped out in August. Instead of tweeting I started retreating. I abandoned Facebook to write my own book. I left my blog in a fog and even stopped sending my newsletter.  Many of you, especially over 1200 new subscribers to my Yes You Can newsletter since August, may even wonder why you are receiving a copy of this blog post. No, it’s not SPAM, it is just me getting connected again.

While I was away, I used my time away to publish a book for the coaching profession, to create some new self-help and coaching products and to launch FluteDaddy, an exciting, and terrifying  music project that I will share with you in coming days.

Maybe you, like me, have had a need to stop, get clear on your priorities and reorganize  to get more of what you want out of life. The beginning of a new year is a great time to do that. Stay tuned. In this blog, I’ll  be sending you motivation and ideas to support you.

Sending you love and wishes for a happy, healthy new year!
