How to Coach YourselfWritten by David Wood

STEP 3) Action Once you have overall plan in place, it’s time to get down to specific action. You might like to list action steps you will take in next 7 days, or next 30. When you have completed these actions, it’s time to evaluate, celebrate, and write next list of action steps. STEP 4) Structure Having an idea, or desire is one thing. But many of these do not get achieved. This is probably one reason you are reading this article – because there is something in your life you would like to achieve or change, but it hasn’t happened yet. Change rarely occurs without a “structure” in place to support you. For example, if you want to be a public speaker, surround yourself with speakers. Talk a friend into doing your goal with you. Ask someone to check in on you once a fortnight to ask how you’re going. Set constant diary reminders for next month, and/or encouraging visual displays on wall. Announcing your commitment to world (all your friends) is also a great structure. And if you’re really serious about your goal, it’s hard to find a more powerful structure than hiring a coach. Does speaking to someone once a week, and taking time out each week to focus on what’s important to you, sound like it might make a difference? You bet! Enjoy, David Wood

Optional Exercise: Write down three areas where you play it safe. Pick one area where you are willing to risk more. Play a bigger game. Live LIFE! (Is it dating? Communication - telling truth ALWAYS! Going on a holiday - backpacking through South America? Making a commitment - moving in/marriage? LEAVING a relationship!!? Pick one, and share it with a friend. Top Ten Suggestions To Risk More (Note to reader: As always, of course you need to be willing to take all consequences of your actions.) 1) Tell truth, regardless of consequences 2) Say ‘no’ when you feel ‘no’ 3) Ask for what you want in your job (e.g. location, pay rise) 4) Go for job you REALLY want 5) Ask out that guy/girl you REALLY want to go out with 6) Ask for something you REALLY want in your relationship. 7) Move to where you REALLY want to live 8) Say ‘yes’ to something with an uncertain outcome. 9) Book an adventure outside your comfort zone (e.g. horse riding, white water rafting, sky diving, sailing.) 10) Be vulnerable to someone you’re arguing/in conflict with.
