Stress?
This has been an eventful week. What I mean is that so far there have been more events than normal. When I have weeks like that I am stressed. I don’t like stress. So, of course, the higher number of events is seldom scheduled from my action. It comes from indirect activity of mine or because of somebody else.
Maybe not
This is a problem. I can handle these events. I am resourceful and resilient and the events are never so complex and difficult as they seem in my fantasies. To protect myself from stress, I don’t schedule my calendar full of activities and when my calendar is not full, I waste time on non-essential activities. I miss working up to my full capabilities and the path to my goals is longer than it needs to be.
What winners do
This week I got some insight from a man who has clearly learned how to work his plan. He knows that if he fills his calendar with appointments, he will achieve his goals. The answer is in the numbers so he has developed a system to fill his calendar. He meets with people and the numbers work for him. The system is simple and very powerful but only a small number of people are disciplined enough to do it.
Next Step
Clearly I need to move beyond my anxiety and throw myself wholeheartedly into a plan to lift my activity to a higher level where the events of a week like this one are considered normal. And when the level no longer stresses me and becomes my new comfort zone, see if I have room for more activity. If I do, then I need to make a new plan to step up to a new higher level.
