For our new readers: "Run With The Pack" refers to a group of participants joining up to do Healthy Living projects this winter. And it starts January 15th.
Check it out here: Run With The Pack. If you're interested in creating positive change in your life over the next few months, we'd love to have you join us.
That is, unless you've got one of the following 4 (ok, the 101 part was an exaggeration) great reasons!
#1. I'm too busy already.
Response: Of course you're busy. We all are. The thing to ask yourself is whether you're allowing that busy-ness to stand between you and what you say you want to be, do, or have in life. If so, then your best solution might just be to find ways to accomplish what you want to despite being busy. In a sense, the busier you are, the more value you can find from a supportive program like ours.
#2. I'd do it, but something important is going on in my life during the next 3 months.
Response: Of course it is. You've got a big project at work. You're going on vacation. There's a holiday. Your kid's gerbil is pregnant. Or whatever. And during the following 3-month cycle, it will be something else.
One of the real benefits of our program is that it supports you in making forward motion in your life even when other things are going on. Just set your goals reasonably for the situation you're in and plan around your conflicts.
#3. I should be able to do this myself.
Response: Maybe, maybe not. If you check in with the biggest achievers of our time -- as well as the biggest achievers from history -- I think you'll find that most of them work in teams.
Remember the story about Henry Ford? Someone challenged him to produce an inconsequential fact, claiming that Ford was in fact not as bright as people thought. Ford responded by phoning up an assistant and asking him to find the answer the gentleman wanted. The point? He was smart enough to realize he could accomplish his goals better with a team than on his own ... that he really didn't have to do it all himself.
Therefore, the real question is not necessarily whether you should be able to do it by yourself, but whether you will. How long have you been putting it off already? If it's longer than you care to admit, then why not try things a different way?
#4. When I tried to do it myself; it didn't work.
Response: If you didn't get the results you wanted by doing the project by yourself, then how about trying a different way?
Sometimes I wonder, when people say this, whether they're really trying to convince themselves (and me) that their situation is hopeless.
In my world, most anything can be resolved to the point of peace and satisfaction. But usually not by banging your head on the same old spot on the wall that you've always banged on. If things didn't work the old way, why not try something different?
Rub this into your brain:
** Results you don't like = learning opportunity! **
If you don't like the way things have been going in some area of your life, all it means is that you still have something left to learn! Why not allow us to support you in learning it? Eh?
P.S. Boy do I have a surprise up my sleeve for you. Just this morning, I tracked down some great new research on procrastination. Watch for it on in the next day or two -- just in time to get you in under the wire for this project cycle!
