Tip 170) Focus on your positives

Sometimes it's easy to be overwhelmed with running a business. It's easy to feel inadequate. It's easy to feel that we are not good enough. And it's super easy to compare ourselves to everyone else out there who seem to have it all together!
​
Social media has a lot to answer for. We portray ourselves as confident, professional go-getters when the reality often involves screaming kids, late tax returns, zero cash-flow and no idea what to do next!

So when you feel like having a duvet day, or worse, packing it all in and going back to that silly old rat race plan, try the following quick exercise...

1. List 3 things about yourself that you are proud of.
2. List 3 things that you have achieved in your business. (Hint - actually starting one is an achievement!)
3. List 3 positive things that clients have said about your products or service. If you have written testimonials - go read them. A couple of times.
4. List 3 things that you like about yourself.
5. List 3 things that make you laugh and then go do them. A couple of times :-)

It's OK to feel scared and lost at times. Just not forever. You have the power to make yourself feel better right now. In this moment. Not tomorrow or next week. Now.  

Yours encouragingly...
