DO IT! Before it’s too late…

So we all know that we need to appreciate the things we have in life and in this world while we have them…

but how many people actually do this?

 Not that many!!

 Most people take things for granted and don’t do the things they know they should be doing until it’s too late…

 Will it be too late for you?

 Will you regret not telling your loved ones how much you love them?

 Will you continue to abuse your body until you find out you’re terribly sick and dying?

 Will you put off until tomorrow what you can in fact do today?

 I have many clients who really struggle to do what they know they should be doing now.. but yet they can’t!

 Why? What is it going to take to get YOU to take action?

Get serious, get passionate, have fun and just do it!

My advice is do it before it’s too late… it’s not that hard.

You know you can do it and if you know you can but don’t – that’s where it will be too late for you and you will only live with regrets.

So are you going to do it now?

Don’t miss out!

COMMUNICATION SKILLS: Get To the Point!

Communication Skills - Life Coach Jacqueline Pigdon

Save time everyday by getting to the point! Improve your communication by saying LESS!

I’m all for small talk and chit chat at appropriate times or on a long lazy afternoon chatting to a friend but if you would like others to listen to you more, understand you better and save time then saying less is an important communication skill to have.

Often some people have really important things to say, idea’s, information, instruction and/or direction to share but they bury their words amongst so many other words that what they’re saying is not actually clear.

The drawbacks from talking too much can be:

  • If you fail to get to the point you can risk your ideas being over-looked or going un-noticed. 
  • You say too much trying to justify your point instead of staying it straight you can appear as being convincing instead of speaking with clear confidence and conviction.
  • People can automatically tune out because you have a reputation of going on and on about… well not too much really!  

Why don’t people get to the point more often?

  • They like the sound of their own voice!
  • They feel they have to justify and convince others of their way or point of view
  • They are hiding the truth

Facilitating our Jina Life Coaching Personal Development Programs and in my coaching role I have done a lot of listening to others talk.

Sometimes when listening to a client’s story, amongst all their words I can see the few that actually speak their truth.

I can then summarise this back to the client e.g: So Mary what you’re saying is that you are deciding to either stay with your husband or leave him.

And so many times with big talkers they reply back with oh that’s putting it a bit harsh isn’t it! But it’s in fact exactly what they’re thinking. Because they cover it up with all these other factors and aspects they fail to address their problems because they can’t see their own truth.

Why are people clouded by their own words and conversations they even have with themselves?

They do this so their truth and reality won’t look so bad, won’t be so bad when put into the bigger scheme of things….

The other thing I have noticed about big talkers who fail to get to the point is that they are the ones who struggle the most with getting things done. The just feel so overwhelmed with all the things in their life, all the tasks they need to do to get to their goals.

My advice tips in getting to the point are:

  1. Try getting to the point more often this month.
  2. Keep the social small talk where required but otherwise become conscious of getting straight to the point – just do it for fun and see how it goes for you!
  3. When you are clear with what you say, it means you know exactly what it is you are trying to say. You know how people can talk for half an hour and then say ‘What I’m really trying to say is..’ Well just start there!
  4. You look more confident and in control when you get to the point for clearly you know what you want and where you’re going.

Watch yourself save time for more fun things in your life!

Don’t be afraid to follow YOUR Vision & YOUR Dreams!

“Once I started seeing through the eyes of my heart, instead of a socially conditioned lens, things started to transform dramatically.”

 

- Jonathan Mead

 

Are your choices and the actions you take in life too often with the mindset of ‘what will others think of me or expect me to do’? Remember to do extraordinary things you need to be out-of-the-ordinary. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and travel on your own Spiritual Path. Think about what your heart is saying and ask yourself what will you do differently in your life this week to become more aligned with your vision?

 

Live Your Best Life!
