Do you ever feel stuck in a rut? In life or your work or business?
Are you comfortable where you’re at? Like you stopped pushing yourself to grow or improve?
Is what you’re doing stopped working, but you keep doing it anyway, hoping things will change?
It’s time to use DSD to get unstuck, become more effective, and create more enjoyment in your life.
Today is for you if…
If you’re tired of what you’re doing not working.
If you desire more in life but are unsure how to change the results you’re getting now.
If you’re ready to push yourself beyond what you’re currently doing to create the life of your dreams.
Yesterday I talked about consistency as a key to getting what you want. And it is. Slow and steady is how you’ll keep moving forward toward your dreams.
But sometimes, you have to shake things up. Sometimes, you must mix up the routine, push yourself out of your comfort zone, or energize your life.
Sometimes you have to…DSD – Do Something Different
I thrive in routine. I like to know what to expect. I enjoy creature comforts.
But that doesn’t always get me what I want in life.
I joined a local networking group and yesterday went to my first meeting by myself yesterday. I’ve been networking virtually but haven’t networked since the time I fainted before my first networking event years ago.
I had to DSD and push out of my comfort zone and meet new people.
Doing DSD doesn’t alway have to be about career or business.
You can DSD in your personal life too!
In my personal life, I needed to DSD my workout routine. I added new workout videos for weight/anaerobic training. I push my body out of my comfort zone, sculpt and build muscle as I’m getting older.
Signs You Need to DSD:
Stuck in a rut
Doing the same thing but not working–missing ingredient
Going through the motions
Lack of energy, life or enjoyment
What do you need to do differently?
Examples:
Start planning your week on Sundays or have a day where you do nothing on a schedule.
Networking - in-person or virtual
Create a routine or have a block of time to do whatever you want.
Take a course, buy a book, or hire a coach.
Change a belief that serves you better.
Put yourself out there - social media, podcast, blog, book, videos, etc.
Go out with friends or stay home.
Effects of DSD:
Get moving again
Create new solutions
Energize self
Grow yourself
Homework:
Where do you need to DSD in your personal life?
Where do you need to DSD in your career or business?
One last thing…You can explore DSD without commitment. Test it out and see if it works. If not, DSD until you find what works.
You can also shake it up as you go. If DSD stops working down the road, mix it up with a new DSD.
Fear will try to stop you from being DSD. It can be scary to step out and try something different.
If you need help overcoming that fear that gets in the way of what you want in life, join me and my podcast friends, Becky Michel and Kat Schudel, for the Your Fearless Journey virtual workshop Saturday, March 11, 2023, from 9 am - 12 pm CT.
You’ll walk away with awesome tools to put in your Wonder Woman tool belt that will get you unstuck and overcome the fear holding you back so you can live your life courageously and wildly inspired!
