Mistakes, Lessons & a Cheeky Mindset Shift!
Oh boy have I made mistakes! From “Why did I say that out loud?” to “Did I just spend an hour scrolling memes instead of working?” Life transitions…like redundancy or retirement, have a way of magnifying those “oops” moments. But here’s the secret: mistakes aren’t failures; they’re lessons in disguise!
Let’s turn those “I wish I had...” moments into “I’m owning this!”
1. No Failure, Only Feedback (with a Side of Sass)
🔥 NLP says there’s no failure, only feedback. I mean, if your brain can convince you that reheated tea is okay, it can reframe some challenges too. Instead of “I wish I were more productive,” let’s try:
“I will create a daily routine that works for me...& still leave time for Netflix”
Or my personal favourite:“I will call my snack breaks ‘strategic thinking sessions’”
The key? STOP letting those little hiccups derail you. Laugh at them & move on!
2. DISC Profiling: Find Your Flavour of Fabulous
🔥 DISC helps you understand your natural style. Think of it as your personality cheat sheet.
If you’re a D (Dominance): You could be the Beyoncé of getting things done…just add a plan
If you’re an I (Influence): You could just channel that charm! Use your connections to bring your ideas to life
If you’re an S (Steadiness): You could be as loyal AF, but remember to put yourself first sometimes
If you’re a C (Compliance): You could just have spreadsheets…now just sprinkle in a little action
Honestly, DISC is like a vibe check for your life. Use it to build better connections & align with what lights you up.
3. Coaching for Change (& Giggles)
🔥 Coaching isn’t about me sitting here wagging my finger at your to-do list (unless you ask for that…it’s your journey!). It’s about turning those “I wish” moments into “I will & I’ll look good doing it.”
Some real-life examples:
“I wish I had stronger relationships” becomes “I will reach out to friends for brunch & ensure we split the bill on what we had!”
“I wish I could find more time for myself” becomes “I will book that spa day because…hello, I deserve it”
Progress is progress, whether it’s a spa day or finally organising that drawer full of random cables.
Mistakes Aren’t the End - They’re Just a Plot Twist
Here’s the thing: mistakes don’t define you! They’re just the awkward pauses in your Netflix series of life. Embrace them, learn from them & maybe even laugh about them.
Turn “I wish” into “I will” & remember:
It’s okay to mess up (repeatedly…if you’re like me)
Growth doesn’t have to be serious…it can be fun, messy & finding your own rewards
