You Got This (?, !, …)

You got this!
You got this?
You got this…
3 very different statements using the exact same words…
Just different punctuation.
Ever have all 3 of those thoughts or reactions to things in like 10 seconds?That’s confusing and frustrating, huh?
What propels you forward?
How do you keep going when “you got this” is a question and not a statement?
I remember being stuck a few years ago.
I felt like nothing I did was working… at least not the way I wanted it too.
Business was stale and stuck, a relationship had ended, I was at my all-time highest weight and was feeling tired and sluggish all the time.
The worst part?
The snowball effect.
I let myself get caught up in the momentum of the avalanche and that negative snowball kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger…
… and it was moving faster and faster and faster.
But on the outside…
Whenever anybody asked me how things were or how I was doing, I always smiled and said, “I’m great, how about you?”.
It was embarrassing.
I was hiding.
Most of all I was frustrated.
I, mistakenly, thought after being in business for 25+ years (at that point) that I shouldn’t have struggles, doubts, or times when things didn’t seem to be going my way.
Wasn’t I supposed to have it all figured out?
Looking back, I know how silly… stupid that was.
But at the time, I couldn’t move past where I was and how I was feeling.
I was searching.
I finally decided to talk to my business coach about how I was feeling.
Not only was there help in having a different perspective than mine, but there was huge relief in the fact that somebody else believed in me.
And that belief – that somebody else had in me when mine was waning – was enough to get me through that struggle, that challenging time.
One of the things that helped me the most during that time was being present.
Being present changes everything.
Propel yourself forward by being present.
When you’re present you see things from where you are…
Not from where you’ve been.
And it allows you to move forward from a new place.
From the place of You Got This!
It took shifting, modifying, asking questions, being real (with myself first).
Too many times, we’re harder on ourselves than we are on anybody else.
I know I was/am.
It’s funny, but when I realized nobody expected me to be perfect except me, everything changed.
Sometimes you just need a different perspective to help propel you forward.
Small shifts can make huge changes – in your business, in your mindset, in your profits, and in how you feel.
You Got This!
I believe in you!
W. Clement Stone is credited for saying “Small hinges swing big doors.”
I say, “Small shifts swing big profits.”
